Ready for a Lexus TZ Three-Row Electric SUV? Toyota's New Trademarks Point the Way!

Well, well, well, Lexus enthusiasts, it looks like something electrifying might be on the horizon! I stumbled across some juicy info that Toyota has gone and filed trademark applications for two rather intriguing names, Lexus TZ450e and Lexus TZ550e, in both Europe and Britain.

Now, if you're like me and love dissecting Lexus's naming mysteries, you'll know the "T" often means a three-row SUV, and "Z" points to battery power. Yep, we're talking about electric SUVs with room for the whole family.

Remember the RZ450e? That beauty's got a 71.4-kilowatt-hour battery that churns out 308 hp and 320 pound-feet of torque. Imagine that kind of power in a big, luxurious three-row SUV!

And what's the range? Well, the RZ450e is supposed to go around 220 miles in base trim, but who knows what they'll pack into this larger three-row platform? If we're lucky, maybe more battery and more miles!

Rumor has it, Toyota's also working on a three-row bZ5X SUV for around 2025 or 2026. With new battery tech coming along, we could see some pretty impressive numbers, especially if something like a TZ550e takes things up a notch.

So, what's it all going to look like? I can only guess, but the image above from the Lexus retail website might give us a glimpse of what's to come. Honestly, it's not a bad look for a big electric SUV.

The cherry on top? Toyota's gearing up for production in Kentucky, and the batteries will be cooked up in North Carolina. It's all starting to come together!

So, dear electric SUV lovers and Lexus fans, keep your eyes peeled and your charging cables ready. If these trademarks turn into reality, we might just be in for one luxurious electric ride.
