Lexus TZ World Premiere Held at the Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama--the Development Site Where Roads Build Cars

2026.05.19

The Lexus TZ is the brand's first three-row BEV SUV. We covered the world premiere held at the Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama, a development facility where vehicles are refined through an integrated, end-to-end development process.

One of the quietest SUV cabins in the world

This is one of the quietest, if not the quietest, SUV cabins in the world.

The inherent silence of an electric powertrain combined with a rigid body structure creates a uniquely controlled acoustic environment.

One where sound is no longer a byproduct but something that can be carefully shaped. It is so quiet that even at highway speeds, conversation flows effortlessly across all three rows. Now, whether your children actually want to talk to you that we cannot engineer.

But if they do, they will hear every word. And for some parents, that alone is worth the upgrade.

And the same structure that delivers that quietness also allows us to create deep, controlled acoustics.

Producing rich, powerful bass and one of the most immersive sound environments ever created in a Lexus.

One where every detail can be heard more clearly.

Almost as if you’ve moved from the back row of the concert hall to the front row.

Sound designed to enhance the emotion of driving.

And when you take the wheel, that experience continues.

Because a Lexus must always deliver a deeper connection to the road.

Despite its size, the TZ truly feels light and agile, igniting a memory of a time when you were younger and the road ahead belonged to your coupe.

And it’s not only in the way it moves, but in the way it sounds.

With the paddles, interactive manual drive adds a familiar note and a little mischief.

Yes. Lexus LFA V10 sound simulation available on-demand. The perfect match for effortless lane changes.

Everyday driving also feels intuitive.

Even on rough surfaces, the vehicle remains planted and stable.

And through advanced control, the vehicle can subtly adjust its center of motion.

Reducing yaw, pitch, and roll where it matters most.

In most vehicles, rear passengers feel more movement.

But here, the rear comfort mode seamlessly integrates every dynamic system, motors, braking control, and rear steering in unison. The balance shifts.

The second and third rows suddenly become the most stable place to be.

Redefining comfort not just as softness or space but as control over motion itself.

Beyond comfort and refinement, the TZ is engineered for real life.

Not just in how it moves, but in what it enables.
