The Lexus TX is a full-size luxury crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Japanese brand Lexus, a luxury division of Toyota. Produced since September 2023, it is exclusively marketed in North America. The TX is constructed upon the front- and all-wheel drive TNGA-K platform, shared with its Toyota Grand Highlander sibling and the mid-size XU70 Highlander/Kluger. The TX was revealed simultaneously with the J250 GX on June 8, 2023. [10] Replacing the RX L, it takes the position of being the brand's only three-row crossover SUV.
The TX was revealed on June 8, 2023 as part of Toyota's GA-K platform dedicated to mid-size and full-size vehicles with either a front- or all-wheel drive layout configuration. The new platform offers a low center of gravity and optimal weight distribution. To improve performance, enhancements were made to strengthen the TX's body rigidity and minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). [11] Welds and adhesives are featured to increase the vehicle’s joint strength and rigidity through the main framework components of the chassis. The TX introduces a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear multi-link suspension, as well as widened front and rear tracks. [11]
The TX is available in six- and seven-seat configurations. The second row has either a 60:40 split-folding bench or captain's chairs, while the third row has a 50:50 split bench. [12] Depending on the trim level and powertrain choice, the outboard second row seats can include heating and ventilation.
Each model is sold in three trim levels: Base, Premium, and Luxury. [13] Since 2024, an F Sport Handling trim is offered exclusively on the all-wheel drive TX 350. [14]
A 14.0-inch multimedia infotainment display is standard on base models, which runs Lexus' newest infotainment interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as well as a navigation system integrated into the dashboard and a wireless smartphone charging system. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display can be reconfigured to show information to the driver, as well as an optional head-up display. A 21-speaker Mark Levinson premium stereo is optional. [15] 20-inch wheels are standard on Premium and Luxury grades, while 22-inch wheels are available for the TX 350 Luxury grade and standard on the TX 550h+. The TX 350 F Sport Handling and TX 500h F Sport Performance feature exclusive 22-inch wheels. [11] [14]
The TX has a rear cargo space of 20.2 cubic feet (570 L) with all seats up. With the third row seats down, space increases to 57.4 cubic feet (1,630 L). With both the second and third row seats down, space increases to 97 cubic feet (2,700 L). [16] Three interior color options are offered depending on grade: Peppercorn, Birch, and Black. [11]
The TX features the brand's most technologically advanced safety system. System include Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist and Proactive Driving Assist. The Advanced Park package allows for uncomplicated perpendicular and parallel parking/exiting. Additionally, a Traffic Jam Assist is available via a subscription and is designed to monitor surrounding traffic in low-speed driving situations on limited access roads, and will allow the vehicle to autonomously move forward and brake to keep safe distance between the TX and the preceding car. [11]
Three powertrains are offered: the TX 350, the TX 500h hybrid, and the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid.
