Toyota Unveils Lexus's 1st 3-Row EV, Set for Launch in Japan This Winter
The luxury SUV uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, native NACS charging and two battery options, with full U.S. specs due later in 2026.
- Lexus unveiled the TZ, its first-ever three-row electric SUV, set to launch in the US in late 2026 as an electric alternative to the North American-exclusive Lexus TX.
- Based on the Toyota Highlander EV platform, the TZ shares its wheelbase and batteries while offering up to 300 miles of range, making it the longest model in the shared lineup at 5100mm.
- Inside the cabin, the TZ features a 14-inch Lexus Interface infotainment system and 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system. Third-row seats provide "sofa-like cushioning," while captain's chairs offer ventilation and power-adjustable ottomans.
- Lexus Australia is assessing the TZ for potential local introduction following last month's $36,559 price cut to the RZ. Competitors like the Volvo EX90 and Kia EV9 start from $116,000 and $129,250 respectively.
- Production in Japan this year could enable right-hand drive variants, potentially including the TZ450e and TZ550e models. Full US specifications remain unconfirmed until later in 2026.
