The TZ, an All-New, All-Electric six-seat SUV Embodying the new Lexus brand vision “Discover” and commitment to “imitate no one,” the TZ is designed around the concept of the Driving Lounge, a seamless blending of a relaxing cabin with dynamic performance that delivers an elevated travelling experience for everyone – passengers and driver alike.
Interior: Welcome to the driving lounge The Driving Lounge concept creates a space and ambience that promote relaxation, enjoyment and conversation, enhanced by a wide, opening panoramic roof that extends above all three rows of seats. The sense of openness and the peaceful, comfortable atmosphere reflect the Zen-like tranquillity found in traditional Japanese homes and architecture.
Inside the TZ the emphasis is on a sophisticated ambience – a “driving lounge” that provides supreme comfort, quietness and luxury features, founded on Lexus’s unique Omotenashi hospitality and Takumi craftsmanship principles. It is a space where everyone can relax, enjoying the smooth, refined ride of a BEV, insulated from road and wind noise disturbance.

The long wheelbase, suspension design and accommodation of the battery entirely beneath the floor ensure there is space to comfortably accommodate six seats arranged in three rows. The second row features individual captain’s chairs while the third row offers generous head and leg room. The absence of a fuel tank allows the rearmost seats to be set lower, so that even taller adults can sit and travel in full comfort. This also makes for easier rear seat access, together with walk-in switches to forward-fold the outer second row seats, tread plates and assist grips
Exterior design The TZ’s design fuses simplicity with sharpness, pursuing the distinctive presence and character that are essentially “Lexus”. As well as being sleekly elegant, the styling features finely tuned, energy-saving aerodynamic details.
Lexus demonstrates its distinctive, contemporary design flair in the TZ’s exterior in fusion of road presence with refinement and a sleek look. It stands apart from traditional SUV design values that emphasise performance and power with an appearance that is more refined and less aggressive. The result is a quality Lexus describes as “Provocative Simplicity” – elegant, with an edgy touch.

As well as being eye-catching, the design is detailed for aerodynamic excellence, helping maximise the vehicle’s range potential. The TZ has a 0.27 drag coefficient – a significant achievement for a large-form SUV.

The side view presents an elongated silhouette with sharp edges and high-quality surfacing that communicate strength and dynamism. Details include semi-flush door handles, strong character lines, textured surfaces and boldly styled aero wheels (20 or 22-inch according to equipment grade).

Multimedia and Connectivity

The TZ benefits from Lexus’s new Arene software platform that supports a greater range of LexusConnect multimedia functions and provides fast, intuitive operation.

The central 14-inch multimedia screen is synchronised with the 12.3-in multi-information display, which allows the full navigation map to be mirrored in the driver’s combimeter. This makes directions easier to follow, avoiding the need for the driver to adjust their glance to view information – a key element of the human-centred design cabin design.
