Overview
The 2024 Lexus TX is a luxurious mid-size SUV that replaces the RX-L three-row model. Built on the Toyota Grand Highlander platform, the TX offers ample space for adults in its third row. With its opulent features, including semi-aniline leather upholstery and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson stereo, the TX justifies its Lexus badge.
Price
Pricing for the 2024 Lexus TX ranges from $55,050 to $60,950, depending on trim and options. The TX350 Luxury trim offers the best value, adding upscale features like heated second-row seats and semi-aniline leather upholstery.
Engine and Transmission
The TX350 is powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 275 horsepower. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive, this powertrain delivers smooth acceleration. However, it feels less responsive than its hybrid siblings.
Dimensions and Interior
The TX seats up to seven passengers across three rows, with optional second-row captain’s chairs available. Storage bins and charging ports are plentiful. Standard luxury features include power-adjustable front seats, ambient interior lighting, and a power-adjustable steering column.
Performance and Fuel Economy
Acceleration is respectable, with the front-wheel-drive TX350 reaching 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. While not exceptional, its quiet and comfortable ride will satisfy luxury-oriented families. EPA estimates range from 21-27 mpg, depending on configuration. Real-world testing yielded 31 mpg highway for the front-wheel-drive TX350. The TX500h hybrid model managed 26 mpg.
While its turbocharged four-cylinder engine may lack punch, the TX’s serene ride and lavish interior make it an attractive option. With its competitive pricing and generous standard features, the TX is an excellent choice for families seeking a luxurious, practical vehicle. Its impressive cargo space and seating capacity solidify its position in the mid-size luxury SUV segment.
