2025 Lexus TX 350

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.

Safety Features and Trim Levels
Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 is standard on every 2025 Lexus TX. This suite of advanced driver-assist systems includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, emergency steering assist, oncoming vehicle detection with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering steering and road-sign recognition. Blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking are also standard.

The entry-level TX 350 sets a high bar for the lineup, with 20-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, a hands-free power liftgate, windshield-wiper de-icers, and keyless entry and start. Inside, it features synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, ambient lighting, wireless phone charging, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Small upgrades characterize most of the rest of the TX 350 range. The Premium adds a panoramic moonroof and ventilated front seats. The Luxury trim level brings semi-aniline leather, heated outboard second-row seats and upgraded ambient lighting. In addition to the features mentioned above, the TX 350 F Sport Handling builds on the Premium content with ventilated second-row captain’s chairs and aluminum pedals.

In addition to the more powerful hybrid powertrain, the TX 500h F Sport Performance trims both get everything from the TX 350 F Sport Handling, including the more aggressive front and rear bumpers and adaptive dampers. The F Sport Performance Premium forgoes the panoramic moonroof and swaps the 350 F Sport’s matte-black 22-inch wheels for two-tone gray-and-black pieces. The moonroof rejoins the party in the F Sport Performance Luxury, which also gains a head-up display, 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system and a rearview camera mirror.

As the nomenclature suggests, the range-topping TX 550h+ Luxury does not have the sportier suspension setup of the F Sport trims, nor does it get their edgy bumpers and dark exterior trim. It does, however, feature every luxury and tech piece from the rest of the lineup, plus its PHEV powertrain.
