2027 Lexus TZ

est See all results for new 2027 Lexus TZ for sale near 98115 Following the launch of Toyota's all-electric Highlander EV three-row SUV, Lexus is following with the TZ, a more luxurious version—but it's still too early to know all the details about it. Official photos show a futuristic exterior look with an EV version of Lexus's famous spindle grille design; the interior blends contemporary Lexus design with some environmentally-friendly trim materials, including bamboo and recycled aluminum. A dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain combines two electric motors for 402 horsepower. Lexus says the driving range should be around 300 miles per charge with the largest battery pack, and the TZ is capable of charging from 10 to 80 percent in about 35 minutes, given it's hooked up to a 150-kW charging station. Expert Tip: Subaru is also selling a version of this electric SUV called Getaway, and that one, while perhaps not as fancy as the Lexus, offers 420 horsepower, the most among the three variants. The TZ is a new nameplate for the Lexus brand, and we expect this three-row EV SUV to hit the market by the end of 2026 as a 2027 model. Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles. So far, Lexus has released very little information about the TZ, its powertrain, and its available features, but we expect to see several trims with increasing levels of equipment. A base Premium trim is likely, and a sporty-looking F-Sport model is all but a guarantee. When we learn more about the TZ, its price tag, and its various trims, we'll update this story with those details. So far, only a dual-motor powertrain has been announced. A pair of electric motors dole out 402 horsepower and provide all-wheel drive. We suspect this model will wear the TX550e badge. A rear-drive, single-motor TZ450e could join the lineup later. A rear-axle steering system is optional, as is a Rear Comfort drive mode that aims to reduce pitching and lateral motion for rear-seat passengers. Lexus says the TZ can tow up to 3500 pounds, which is typical of mid-size EVs with similar power. Expect the driving range to drop precipitously with a trailer attached, though. Lexus claims the TZ will offer around 300 miles per charge, but we suspect that is with the larger of the two battery packs, a 96-kWh unit. A smaller 77-kWh battery is also available. Charging time from 10 to 80 percent is claimed to be just 30 minutes on a 150-kW connection. An NACS charging port is standard. First Row: What differentiates the Lexus from its Toyota sibling is more premium interior materials and some unique design elements. A large panoramic sunroof is standard, and we see what looks like real wood trim and suede fabric swatches on the door panels and dashboard. Lexus says recycled aluminium and bamboo, both environmentally-friendly materials, have been used as well. Having sat inside both the Highlander EV and the Subaru Getaway, we can say that the front seats are comfortable and there's plenty of cubby space for phones, keys, wallets, snacks, and other tagalong items. Second Row: A pair of captain's chairs in the second row provides seating for two, with plenty of space for adults to stretch out in comfort. You can even get pop-up ottomans for these chairs. A full list of available features hasn't yet been provided by Lexus, but we expect to see automatic climate controls for those in the rear seats. Third Row: Two third row seats can be popped up when needed, but in our experience, we think the only riders that will find the third row accommodating are kids and adults on the smaller end of the height spectrum. Cargo Capacity: We expect the TZ to offer a cargo area identical to that of the Highlander EV. That SUV offers a generous 45 cubic feet of storage with the third row folded. Like the Toyota, the Lexus is not expected to offer a front trunk. A 14.0-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster make up the majority of the dashboard, and the touchscreen offers wireless smartphone-mirroring capability. On-board Wi-Fi with 5G connectivity, integrated audio streaming apps, and built-in navigation are all standard. The TZ features a 21-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system. Lexus offers a comprehensive list of standard driver-assistance features on every TZ model. More advanced features, including an automatic lane-change assistant, are available as options.
