"Like its cousins the Highlander EV and Subaru Getaway, the TZ is based on Toyota's e-TNGA platform and will be available with two battery sizes (76.9kWh or 95.8kWh) and an upgraded Direct4 AWD system. While Lexus has yet to provide specific info about power, based on the output available from other models sharing this platform, we're expecting around 400 horsepower (or more) depending on the exact configuration. It's a similar situation when it comes to range, because while we're still waiting on an official figure from the EPA, Lexus estimates a TZ with the larger 95kWh power pack will go for around 300 miles between charges."
"At 200.8 inches, the TZ is actually slightly longer than the Highlander EV, while sporting a similarly brawny exterior with lots of hard lines along and Lexus' signature spindle-shaped grille. Other features include Dynamic Rear Steering (up to four degrees) that should provide better maneuverability at low speeds and increased stability at high speeds. Unfortunately, the TZ's 400-volt architecture doesn't look very impressive, with charging speeds that top out at just 150kW that should deliver 10 to 80 percent charging times of around 35 minutes."
"Thankfully, the car does come with a native NACS port and, for times when you need to charge your other gadgets, Lexus is making a dedicated accessory adapter that plugs into an AC inlet in the cargo area. On the inside, the TZ's infotainment is centered around a 14-inch main display with a secondary 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver. Lexus says the TZ will also support a Smart Digital Key+ that allows you to unlock the car with your phone or smartwatch, and will continue to work even if the gadget runs ou"
Lexus is preparing the TZ, a luxury three-row electric SUV with seating for up to six and an estimated range of around 300 miles. The vehicle is built on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform and will be offered with two battery sizes, 76.9kWh or 95.8kWh, along with an upgraded Direct4 AWD system. Expected output is around 400 horsepower or more depending on configuration. The TZ measures 200.8 inches and features a bold exterior with hard lines and a spindle-shaped grille. Dynamic Rear Steering provides up to four degrees of movement for improved low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability. Charging is limited to 150kW on a 400-volt system, with 10 to 80 percent charging estimated at about 35 minutes. The interior includes a 14-inch main display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, plus Smart Digital Key+ support.
