Toyota indgivet varemærke ansøgninger hos European Union Intellectual Property Office og British Intellectual Property Office for to nye Lexus-modelnavne, som opdaget af Lexus RX Owner’s Forum. One name is the Lexus TZ450e, the other the Lexus TZ550e. There are no such Lexus models on sale anywhere in the world now. If the luxury brand’s naming conventions hold, the T suggests these are going to be three-row SUVs like the new TX, the Z suggests they’ll be battery-electric vehicles. Right now, the only battery-powered Lexus models on sale are the UX300e in international markets and the RZ450e sælges her og andre steder. RZ450e bruger en elektrisk motor på hver aksel forbundet med en 71.4 kilowatt-timers lithium-ion batteri pakke. Den forreste motor udvikler 201 hestekræfter, bagakslens e-motor genererer 107 hestekræfter, til 308 hk og 320 pund-fods drejningsmoment.

If that powertrain were transferred complete into a coming three-row SUV, those output figures would certainly be decent. EPA range figures for the RZ aren’t out yet; Lexus estimates the crossovers range checks in at 220 in base Premium trim on 18-inch wheels, 196 miles in the heavier Luxury trim fitted with 20-inch wheels. We suspect the larger platform on the three-row would translate to a larger battery that could at least manage these totals. Toyota’s planning a three-row bZ5X SUV for debut around 2025, perhaps for the 2026 model year. If the automaker’s new battery technology is ready for production then, the Toyota and Lexus haulers would be expected to make substantial improvements on the RZ figures, especially with a more powerful variant like a TZ550e bringing an even larger appetite for ions. 

Toyota’s electrification targets have been through a few adjustments in the past few years. The image above kom fra Lexus' detailwebsted, so we’ll submit it as the most recent take on what a three-row Lexus SUV could look like. Not a bad place to put a TZ badge, if you ask us. The Toyota version is headed into production at the Georgetown Assembly Plant in Kentucky in two years, the batteries arriving from a new factory being built in North Carolina.
