Lexus Sets May 6 Online Reveal for Three-Row Electric SUV

Early reporting points to a Highlander EV–based 'TZ' with Lexus-specific styling.

Overview

  • Lexus says it will unveil the new three-row electric SUV in an online event streamed on YouTube.
  • Reporters expect the model to share the Toyota Highlander EV’s TNGA-K–based platform and a similar footprint.
  • Trademarks for TZ450e and TZ550e point to multiple variants, with reports flagging Toyota’s 77 kWh and 95.8 kWh batteries and up to about 320 miles of range as likely benchmarks.
  • Teasers and spy photos show Lexus cues such as split LED headlights, a closed grille, and a three-row cabin that may offer a six-seat layout.
  • Pricing is expected to sit above the electric Highlander’s roughly $50,000 starting point, while the production location remains unconfirmed between the U.S. and Japan.
