Toyota, Lexus prepare to launch first 3-row electric SUVs

It’s been a little over a month since Lexus unveiled the 2027 TZ, the luxury brand’s first purely electric three-row SUV.

Based on the same TNGA platform as the 2027 Toyota Grand Highlander BEV, the TZ will be available with 76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh lithium-ion battery packs, which Lexus said would provide a driving range of up to 300 miles.

In comparison, the electric Highlander is expected to deliver up to 320 miles of range with the larger (95.82 kWh) battery.
