2027 Lexus TZ Touts 3 Rows, 300 Miles of Range, and V-10 Sounds
Key takeaways
- The new electric three-row luxury SUV is closely related to the Toyota Highlander EV, but the Lexus has a much cooler party trick.
- The six-seat EV SUV is expected to go on sale near the end of 2026, with pricing to be revealed closer to that time.
- The TZ's styling looks to have drawn inspiration from Mandalorian armor in the Star Wars universe, with a segmented leading end and body panels that sport aggressive angles.
Why this matters: an automotive development that could shape industry direction or buying decisions.

The six-seat EV SUV is expected to go on sale near the end of 2026, with pricing to be revealed closer to that time. After taking years of criticism for its slow EV rollout, Toyota is finally starting to catch up—and now Lexus is too. The luxury brand just revealed its first three-row electric SUV, the TZ, which, unsurprisingly, is closely related to the new Toyota Highlander and Subaru Getaway.
The TZ's styling looks to have drawn inspiration from Mandalorian armor in the Star Wars universe, with a segmented leading end and body panels that sport aggressive angles. The TZ shares its wheelbase with the Highlander, but at 200.8 inches long, the Lexus is two inches longer overall, and at 67.1 inches tall, the TZ sits slightly lower than its Toyota counterpart.
