The Lexus TZ, Lexus’ first three-row electric SUV, starts at $64,050 including the $1,550 delivery charge and tops out at $80,550. Of the three trims, the middle Premium Touring has the longest range, at 315 miles.
Lexus says the TZ goes on sale in late 2026. Electrek and Car and Driver report that only the base Premium arrives this year, with the Premium Touring and Luxury following in early 2027.
Lexus TZ prices, batteries and range
Every TZ has dual-motor DIRECT4 all-wheel drive, rated at 308 hp according to Electrek and Car and Driver. Lexus offers two batteries, 76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh. Electrek reports the smaller pack in the Premium and the larger one in the Premium Touring and Luxury.
| Trim | Price with delivery | Battery | Range (est.) | Arrives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TZ Premium | $64,050 | 76.96 kWh | 253 mi | Late 2026 |
| TZ Premium Touring | $72,050 | 95.82 kWh | 315 mi | Early 2027 |
| TZ Luxury | $80,550 | 95.82 kWh | 279 mi | Early 2027 |
Prices (including the $1,550 delivery charge) and battery sizes from Lexus. Battery by trim, range estimates and timing as reported by Electrek and Car and Driver. Lexus’ own release cites a manufacturer-estimated 300 miles on a select grade.
The Premium Touring costs $8,000 more than the Premium and adds 62 miles of range with the bigger battery. The Luxury costs another $8,500 but loses 36 miles. Car and Driver attributes the drop to the Luxury’s 22-inch wheels, compared with 20-inch wheels on the Premium Touring. A similar pattern shows up in the Toyota bZ lineup, where the trim with the most range is not the most expensive one.
Power is lower than first announced
Car and Driver reports that Lexus first announced 402 hp for the TZ and that production models make 308 hp. Lexus dealers will offer a Performance Upgrade that unlocks the full 402 hp, but only on the Luxury trim, according to the same report.
Lexus says DIRECT4 can shift torque from a 60:40 front-to-rear split all the way to 0:100 under acceleration. Dynamic Rear Steering, which turns the rear wheels up to 4 degrees, is available.
Charging
The TZ has a NACS port, so it can use Tesla Superchargers without an adapter. Electrek reports a peak DC rate of 150 kW and a 10 to 80% charge in about 35 minutes. Battery preconditioning for cold-weather fast charging is available on select models and needs a Drive Connect trial or subscription.
Inside the TZ
The TZ is 200.8 inches long on a 120.1-inch wheelbase, about the size of the Ioniq 9 and Volvo EX90. Second-row captain’s chairs and a panoramic roof are standard. Lexus offers power ottomans for the front passenger and second-row seats, along with a 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. Traffic Jam Assist provides hands-free driving in slow highway traffic, with a three-month trial before a Drive Connect subscription is required.
How the TZ compares on price
Car and Driver notes that the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 start just above $60,000, so the TZ Premium is only a few thousand dollars more than those non-luxury three-row EVs. The 2026 Volvo EX90 starts at $76,695, a few thousand dollars below the TZ Luxury, and its upper trims cost more than a loaded TZ.
Toyota’s own three-row EV, the 2028 Highlander, uses the same platform but has no price yet. Its AWD versions are due in early 2027. If you want a three-row EV from the Toyota family this year, the TZ Premium is the only one available.
For most families, the Premium Touring is the trim to price. It goes farther than the Luxury for $8,500 less, and it arrives at the same time. Lexus’ online configurator is already live for all three trims.
