Overview
- Lexus disclosed Monday that the 2027 TZ will go on sale as a three‑trim lineup with MSRPs of $64,050 for the TZ 450e Premium, $72,050 for the Premium Touring, and $80,550 for the Luxury, each price including a $1,550 delivery fee.
- The TZ offers two battery packs (about 76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh) that yield EPA estimates of roughly 253 miles for the smaller pack and up to 315 miles for the larger pack, with actual range varying by wheel choice and trim.
- All TZs use a dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive system officially rated at 308 horsepower, while Lexus notes a paid 'Performance Upgrade' available on the Luxury trim that is reported to raise output to about 402 horsepower.
- Charging capabilities include up to 150 kW DC fast charging (10%–80% in roughly 35 minutes), an NACS charge port for direct Tesla Supercharger access, and bi‑directional charging on some versions.
- Built on the same platform as the electric Toyota Highlander and Subaru Getaway, the TZ targets buyers who want Lexus tuning and interior refinement in a three‑row EV and could affect shopper choices against rivals such as the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Rivian R1S, and Volvo EX90.
