About TZ
The Lexus TZ is the brand's biggest electric bet so far: a large, three-row battery-electric SUV designed to give families a Lexus they can plug in without giving up a third row. It sits above the two-row RZ and alongside the gasoline and hybrid TX, and it represents an important moment for a company that spent years arguing that hybrids were the practical answer for most luxury buyers and that the electric transition should not be rushed.
Lexus has confirmed the TZ for markets including Australia, where it is expected to compete with the Kia EV9 and Volvo EX90. Details on range, charging and pricing have emerged gradually, and buyers will judge it on the fundamentals that matter in this class: usable third-row space, real-world range on family road trips, charging speed and the quiet, cosseting ride Lexus customers expect. Its arrival also tests whether Lexus can translate its legendary reputation for reliability into the electric era, where software and battery durability decide reputations.
The TZ will face the Rivian R1S, Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Volvo EX90, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, Cadillac Escalade IQ and Vistiq and the Lucid Gravity. Its rollout will also shape Lexus's broader electric transition, which includes the redesigned electric ES and the all-electric LFA concept. Follow reveal details, specifications, pricing by market, first drives, range tests and how the TZ fits into the crowded family-EV segment as more brands crowd into three-row electric SUVs.
