Toyota Motor Corp. unveiled the Lexus TZ on Thursday (May 7), presenting it as the luxury brand’s first fully electric SUV with three rows of seats.
Planned for release in Japan in winter 2026, the TZ is more than 5 metres long and is designed with a roomy cabin.

The vehicle can travel 620 kilometres on a full charge under Japan’s testing standard, Toyota said.
