Spacious and Luxurious: Lexus TX 2024 – A Family-Sized 3-Row SUV

Lexus has just unveiled the brand new 2024 TX SUV, marking its entry into the luxury 3-row SUV segment.

One of the standout features of the 2024 Lexus TX is its redesigned front grille, known as the “Unified Spindle” design, which prioritizes aerodynamic performance. This new grille design has received mixed reviews, but personally, I believe that the beauty of a design is subjective and depends on each individual’s personal aesthetic taste.

Moving away from the grille, we can see the sleek headlights with the eye-catching L-shaped LED daytime running lights. The overall body design of the car exudes a sporty vibe with sophisticated accents. The sides of the car are adorned with either 20 or 22-inch alloy wheels.

When it comes to dimensions, the 2024 TX measures 5,159 mm in length, 1,989 mm in width, and 1,781 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,949 mm. Compared to the Cadillac XT6, the TX is 117 mm longer and has a slightly longer wheelbase of 86 mm.

Stepping inside, we are greeted by a minimalist and luxurious interior design. The car is equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a standard 14-inch infotainment display.

The 2024 Lexus TX is available in four variants: Standard, Premium, Luxury, and F Sport Performance. While the company has not provided detailed information about each variant, they have mentioned some optional features such as a head-up display, multi-color interior ambient lighting, and a premium Mark Levinson 21-speaker sound system. Additionally, the car offers heated steering wheel controls, heated and ventilated front seats, and a power-adjustable rear trunk.

The TX 2024 has a standard luggage capacity of 569 liters, which can be expanded to 2,747 liters when the second and third-row seats are folded down.

Similar to the Grand Highlander, the Lexus TX will be available with three different powertrain options. The base model, TX 350, is equipped with a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing a maximum output of 275 horsepower and a peak torque of 429 Nm. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and can be paired with all-wheel drive.

Stepping up to the TX 500h F Sport Performance, users will get a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the Direct4 AWD system. This powertrain delivers a maximum output of 366 horsepower and a peak torque of 554 Nm, which is slightly more powerful than the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max.

The final variant is the plug-in hybrid TX 550h+. Although Lexus has not released much information about this variant, we know that it features a V6 3.5L engine, a continuously variable transmission, and the Direct4 AWD system. This powertrain will provide a combined output of 406 horsepower for the SUV.

The TX is built on the GA-K platform, which it shares with the NX and RX. Lexus has made improvements to enhance rigidity while minimizing noise and vibration.

In terms of safety features, the car comes standard with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which includes active radar cruise control at all speeds, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning with pedestrian detection. It also offers features such as lane departure warning with steering assist, traffic sign recognition, and active driving assist.

Alongside the standard driver assistance systems, users can opt for the Advanced Park system, which makes parallel and perpendicular parking easier. The crossover can also be equipped with Traffic Jam Assist, allowing for hands-free driving at low speeds.

The 2024 TX 350 and 500h are expected to be available in autumn this year, while the plug-in hybrid 550h+ will be launched at a later date. The pricing details have not been announced yet; however, it is speculated that the starting price could be over $50,000.
