“Our primary focus in TZ development was the unity of design and aerodynamics. Beyond the BEV-driven need for aerodynamic efficiency, we asked what styling would stand out in the expanding luxury mid-size SUV market. We believe the TZ features a design born from functional beauty that harmonizes typically conflicting engineering and styling demands. Interior development targeted lounge-like comfort in every seat; we paid careful attention to each component, including a newly developed platform, seats, and the panoramic roof. For driving, we fully leveraged BEV advantages and Lexus’s Aji-migaki refinement program to rigorously tune performance. We prioritized quietness – both at rest and in motion – and succeeded in creating a lounge where acoustics can be enjoyed. We hope people will spend more time in the TZ – if you want to enjoy music, do it in a TZ,” said Takeshi Miyaura, Chief Engineer, Lexus International.
