Lexus unveils the TZ, an all-new, all-electric six-seat SUV

Lexus today presents the world premiere of the all-new TZ, a six-seat, fully electric premium SUV that explores new horizons in travelling comfort and pleasure.

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.

A lounge-like space: 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.

The Lexus mobility experience: the TZ’s dynamic performance delivers the control, confidence and comfort rewards of the Lexus Driving Signature. The travelling environment is clean and uncluttered, with functionality matched with contemporary style, as seen in the slim instrument panel and Lexus’s Responsive Hidden Switch design. Comfort for all is prioritised, demonstrated by a selectable Rear Comfort mode that adjusts the vehicle’s dynamic systems to minimise disturbance.

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.

Sustainable materials: Lexus embraces the use of sustainable materials in its craftsmanship luxury, including the use of forged bamboo and recycled aluminium.

Chief Engineer Takeshi Miyaura explains:“We envisioned the Lexus target brand value – customers who value time and choose authenticity – and aimed to deliver a new Lexus experience. Electrification – a battery electric vehicle – emerged as the method for realising these values because it offers an ideal blend of driving enjoyment and evolution. In addition to the Lexus experience of ‘seeing, riding and driving,’ we now offer the new value of ‘spending time’ inside the vehicle.”

The Lexus TZ is revealed today ahead of its market launch in Europe in 2027.
