Lexus’s new three-row TZ EV is priced below some luxury electric rivals, but the base dual-motor model’s reported 308 horsepower is below earlier expectations. Higher trims offer a larger battery and more range.
For a large, very fast, comfortable long-term SUV purchase, this is a useful benchmark, not necessarily a strong candidate. The packaging and price are interesting; the base acceleration proposition is less so.
What to do: Compare its specifications with the X7, Escalade and GLS rather than adding it automatically to the shortlist.
