Lexus Unveils TZ, an All-New Three-Row BEV

07 May Lexus Unveils TZ, an All-New Three-Row BEV

(Oilandgaspress) -– TZ is a new BEV three‑row SUV designed around the concept of the Driving Lounge―an elevated mobility space that brings a smile to every passenger. It seamlessly blends a relaxing cabin environment with the dynamic driving performance characteristic of Lexus. By balancing driving enjoyment with lounge‑like comfort in every seat, the TZ provides new experiential value for customers who cherish their time above all else.

A dedicated platform and a simple, open cabin design create a spacious interior where all occupants can relax regardless of seating position. Lexus has also refined its signature quietness and thoroughly enhanced the vehicle’s dynamic performance, aiming to deliver both the smooth ride quality unique to BEVs and the joy of driving.

TZ’s design pursues the dual goals of sculptural beauty and aerodynamic excellence. While maintaining the powerful presence of an SUV, the TZ achieves top‑class aerodynamic performance among Lexus SUVs^*1, which contributes to its impressive driving range. Additionally, “Forged Bamboo”, a decorative material made from Shikoku bamboo, adorns many of the interior’s surfaces, supporting both sustainable craftsmanship and the preservation of traditional techniques. Through the TZ, Lexus aims to offer a space that enriches time spent with loved ones, and a behind-the-wheel experience that stirs its driver’s emotions.
