Introduced for the 2024 model year and riding on the same basic mechanical pieces as the Toyota Grand Highlander, the Lexus TX finally gives the brand a proper family hauler designed from the start for three rows of seating and not based on an overbuilt off-road platform. New as it is, the TX isn’t changed much for 2025.
A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is now standard, and a new TX 350 F Sport Handling trim level pairs the F Sport’s aggressive exterior styling and adaptive dampers with the TX’s entry-level powertrain. In addition to its matte-black 22-inch wheels and black-and-chrome exterior accents, the F Sport Handling adds some luxury gear, too, including a panoramic moonroof, ventilated front seats, a power-folding third row, and front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking.
Powertrain Specs and MPG
Lexus builds the TX with a diverse set of powertrains. The TX 350 gets a 275-horsepower, turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 317 pounds-feet of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid TX 500h gets a six-speed automatic and a version of the same gas engine that adds two electric motors for more efficient, lightweight all-wheel drive; total output is 366 hp and 406 pounds-feet. And then there’s the plug-in hybrid TX 550h+, which gets a normally aspirated 3.5-liter V-6 and the same rear-mounted electric motor as the 500h, but a beefier front motor amps system output up to 404 hp; it uses a continuously variable automatic transmission. With an 18.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack, Lexus says the TX 550h+ can travel up to 33 miles on electricity alone.
Front-wheel drive is standard on the TX 350; AWD is available for $1,600 on the base and Premium trims and $1,780 on the Luxury. AWD is standard on the hybrid TX 500h and plug-in TX 550h+. Lexus expects the TX 350 to return the same EPA-rated 21/27/23 mpg city/highway/combined with FWD and 20/26/23 mpg with AWD as the 2024 model (official EPA figures for 2025 are not yet available). The TX 500h gets an estimated 27/28/27 mpg, and once the TX 550h+ runs through its electric range, it’s expected to return 29/28/29 mpg.
