Lexus is stretching the boundaries of electric luxury. With the addition of the 2027 Lexus TZ, the brand’s electrified lineup just got roomier.
As the brand’s first-ever all-electric, three-row SUV, it’s an ideal match for guests who crave comfort and optimal space without compromising tailpipe emission-free ease.
Boasting two lithium-ion battery options — 76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh — guests have the flexibility to choose the battery that best powers their lifestyle.
What’s more, its exterior design combined with an aerodynamic performance help make the Lexus TZ a standout.
Here are five things to know about the all-new 2027 Lexus TZ.
Ample Space, Premium Performance

When it comes to elevated comfort, the all-new Lexus TZ has it mastered. The art of passenger-first luxury is exemplified in this three row all-electric SUV. The brand being synonymous with reliability and craftsmanship has turned the cabin into an oasis where convenience meets ultimate refinement.
With front passenger and second-row seats offering power ottomans (a Lexus SUV first), the Lexus TZ has taken the guest experience to a new level. The third-row seats provide sofa-like cushions, and every detail is engineered to pamper guests with high-end sophistication and everyday practicality.
Quiet Luxury

The Lexus TZ shows that eco-sensitive design and exhilarating performance can coexist in a luxury three-row BEV SUV. By pairing a whisper-quiet, spacious “Driving Lounge” cabin with engaging driving dynamics, it helps build on a relaxing experience for guests.
Its highly aerodynamic exterior helps maximize driving range, while the inclusion of hand-crafted Shikoku Island Forged Bamboo highlights Lexus’ dedication to eco-sensitive luxury.
High-Performance Handling

Lexus’ evolved DIRECT4 AWD system and advanced chassis dynamics bridge the gap between high-performance handling and passenger serenity. By continuously optimizing power delivery and cabin stability, this setup helps define electric driving comfort.
Here is how this innovative technology enhances the drive:
- DIRECT4 AWD: Standard on all grades, the system distributes torque between front and rear motors based on driving conditions for linear acceleration and precise cornering.
- Acceleration: Torque ratios adjust from 60:40 to 0:100 (front:rear).
- Cornering Phases to Optimize Handling: Ratios shift from 80:20 to 0:100 (front:rear).
- Tailored Drive Modes: Features NORMAL, SPORT, ECO, RANGE and REAR COMFORT mode. The REAR COMFORT setting synchronizes Dynamic Rear Steering, optimized brake force and drive force distribution to minimize cabin pitching and lateral motion.
- Regenerative Braking: Offers five levels of deceleration, adjustable via paddle shifters, to meet the driver’s preference. Maximum coasting deceleration is up to 0.2 G of natural speed control using only accelerator pedal modulation.
Seamless Handling

Built on the TNGA platform, the Lexus TZ delivers a refined iteration of the “Lexus Driving Signature,” across more than 40 performance themes.
Its reinforced body structure utilizes high-rigidity adhesives, laser screw welding and lightweight aluminum components to achieve a perfect harmony of exceptional torsional stiffness, agile handling stability and reduced weight.
What’s more, the Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) helps enhance maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds by steering rear wheels up to 4 degrees in coordination with front wheels.
Let the Light Shine In

The Lexus TZ masterfully maximizes space and ambiance with a standard panoramic roof featuring an innovative, wire-driven sunshade that preserves headroom and offers third-row passengers expansive views. This airy cabin is beautifully enhanced by standard ambient LED illumination, which cycles through six Japanese-inspired themes evoking natural beauty.
