Lexus introduces first three-row EV TZ with 300-mile range and lounge-inspired luxury cabin

Lexus has revealed the all-new Lexus TZ, the brand's first-ever three-row all-electric SUV as it expands its EV lineup for the 2027 model year. Announced in Plano, Texas, the upcoming luxury SUV is expected to go on sale at the end of 2026 and will offer an estimated driving range of up to 300 miles on select grades.

Lexus’s ‘Driving Lounge’ concept for electric SUV market

Built on Lexus’ TNGA platform, the new TZ is designed around what the company calls its “Driving Lounge” concept, combining a quiet and spacious cabin with dynamic driving performance.


The SUV comes standard with DIRECT4 all-wheel drive across all grades and offers two lithium-ion battery options: 76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh.

Lexus says the vehicle was engineered to balance “lounge-like comfort with Lexus’ signature driving enjoyment,” while also delivering improved body rigidity, aerodynamic efficiency, and smoother handling.

Cabin with panoramic roof and power ottomans

Inside, the three-row cabin focuses heavily on passenger comfort and quietness. The TZ features second-row captain’s chairs, a panoramic roof with a power sunshade extending across all three rows, and available ventilated seats with power ottomans for front and second-row passengers.

Lexus also highlighted sustainable craftsmanship elements, including Forged Bamboo interior surfaces sourced from Japan’s Shikoku Island and bio-based UltraSuede materials.

The automaker claims the TZ delivers the “quietest cabin among Lexus SUVs" because of extensive sound insulation and aerodynamic refinements.

The vehicle also introduces a Lexus-first 2-in-1 charging port design combining AC and DC charging access. The US model will feature the North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging port.

Additional EV-focused features include battery preconditioning, EV routing, range mapping, regenerative braking adjustment, and external power supply capabilities.
