Saying that the TX is the latest luxury SUV in the Lexus lineup is the definition of an understatement. Yes, the Lexus TX is all-new for 2024, but it is unlike anything fans of Lexus have ever seen from the automaker. The TX is the newest three-row SUV offered by Lexus, replacing the RX L model in the lineup. However, the Lexus TX is far roomier than that earlier model. It also provides motorists with a great choice of powertrains and has so many comfort and convenience features that it may well prove to be the most popular model ever offered by this brand, whose name has become synonymous with luxury.

Three Different Powertrains to Power You Through New York City Traffic
When an automaker introduces a new model, it usually starts with a single engine. This is a way to see how the market reacts and whether buyers might prefer something that is more powerful or provides better fuel economy. Sometimes, a brand might offer a different engine with better performance on the top trim level. The automaker will then gauge how sales perform with respect to the two different engines. However, a brand rarely comes out with a new model and gives it three different engines, each with its own transmission. However, this is exactly what Lexus has done with the new TX. What’s more, two of those engines are hybrids.
The TX 350 features a 2.4-liter turbocharged I-4 gas engine. This comes paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can choose between front-wheel drive for better fuel economy and all-wheel drive for improved traction. This engine can produce 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, and Lexus predicts that it will deliver 21 MPG combined. This powertrain is available for the Standard, Premium, and Luxury trim levels.
The second option is the TX 500h. It has a 2.4-liter turbocharged I-4 with a parallel hybrid system. This uses a six-speed automatic transmission and has DIRECT4 all-wheel drive. The hybrid powertrain provides an impressive 366 hp and 409 lb-ft of torque and is projected to give you up to 24 MPG combined fuel economy. The sporty performance of this powertrain means that it is offered in the F Sport Performance Premium and F Sport Performance Luxury trims.
The most advanced engine on this new Lexus model is the TX 550h+. Like the TX 550h, this has DIRECT4 all-wheel drive. However, this option is a plug-in hybrid. It has a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with an eCVT that seamlessly blends the gas engine and electric motor. This will give you a forceful 406 hp with an estimated 30 MPG combined fuel economy. In addition, the TX 550h+ has an estimated pure electric range of 33 miles.
No matter which powertrain you choose on your Lexus TX, you are going to be able to tow up to 5,000 lbs. This is an added bonus that many other three-row midsize luxury SUVs don’t offer.
Advanced Technology for Comfort and Convenience
Lexus has built its outstanding reputation through the use of technology to make its vehicles safer and more convenient than other options on the market. This is certainly the case with the 2024 TX. Each model comes with a standard 14-inch color touchscreen display for its Lexus Interface Multimedia System. This allows you to stream all of your favorite apps with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
This means you can still connect your devices to the Lexus Interface even if you leave the charging cables at home. As a result, you can stream your favorite apps and make hands-free texts and calls. If you really love your music apps, you might want to add the 21-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround System. This has been specially designed for the Lexus TX and is available with all three powertrains.
If you and your passengers need to charge your devices, you will be able to do this safely and easily, no matter where you are seated. Lexus has strategically distributed seven USB-C ports throughout the three rows of seats in the TX’s cabin. This will allow everyone to keep their devices charged and ready to go.
Lexus Safety System+ 3.0
Technology is not just about staying connected and listening to amazing music. With the vehicles found at your local Lexus dealer, it is also designed to keep you safe. Lexus has equipped the 2024 TX with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. The Pre-Collision System can detect potential front-end collisions before you do and alert you while engaging the emergency brakes to avoid a crash or reduce the damage caused by an impact. It even has a Pedestrian Detection feature that works at lower speeds to protect pedestrians in the path of your Lexus TX.
All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control will not only maintain the preset speed you enter into the system. It will also reduce your speed if you encounter slower-moving traffic. When the path is clear, the system will accelerate back to your preset speed again. While All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is engaged, Lane Tracing Assist will help keep your vehicle centered in your lane.
One of the biggest causes of traffic accidents is when a driver has a momentary lapse of concentration. You may take your eyes off the road for a split second to adjust the infotainment system, only to find you have drifted into another lane. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist will reduce the chances of this happening by using slight steering adjustments to keep your Lexus TX in its lane.
The 2024 Lexus TX also features Proactive Driving Assist. This uses the camera and radar in conjunction with the vehicle’s brakes to gently slow your TX as you approach curves in the road. There is also standard Road Sign Assist that will keep you advised about the posted speed limit. When the camera detects a road sign, it will flash the speed limit on the Lexus Interface touchscreen.
The Roomiest Lexus SUV Ever!
There are far too many three-row SUVs that don’t really feature a useful third row. Sure, they have more overall cargo space than two-row midsize SUVs and can fit small children. But there are few adults or teenagers who can sit for long in the third row of most models. Fortunately, this is not the case with the 2024 Lexus TX. Its third row is roomier than any other Lexus SUV model, and the engineers made sure to include plenty of accessible storage in each row.
You can fit up to seven passengers in the TX with the standard 60/40 split bench in the second row. If you opt for the available captain’s chairs, you can still seat up to six passengers in your Lexus TX. Lexus has made getting into the third row easy, with a slide assist walk-in mechanism for second-row seats on every TX model.
The TX also gives you an incredible amount of cargo space. The rear liftgate opens to reveal 20.1 cu.ft. of space for your belongings. If you need more room, you can get up to 57.4 cu.ft. of space by folding down the third row of seats, with a cavernous 90.7 cu.ft. for cargo behind the driver’s seat in the Lexus TX. That's more room than the full-size Lexus GX.
