- Lexus debuts the 2024 Lexus TX, a brand-new model based on the mainstream Toyota Grand Highlander that gives Lexus its first legitimate three-row family crossover. While it may be a Toyota underneath, the new TX puts a luxury spin on the people-hauler formula befitting its premium aspirations, and from our first glance at the specs, it appears to offer a little something for everybody.
Measuring just over 203 inches long and riding on a 116-inch wheelbase, the TX is on the long end of midsize, slotting in nicely between the Audi Q7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLS. It rides on a multi-link suspension and comes with one of three powertrains, a 2.4-liter turbo four, a hybrid based on the same, and then a plug-in hybrid based on Toyota's 3.5-liter V6. The turbocharged four can be had with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while both hybrids come standard with all-wheel drive.
The interior is spacious and packed with conveniences. The front center console features a dual lid that allows either the driver or passenger to open only their side independently if desired. A modular second-row console is also available on models equipped with captain's chairs. A second-row bench is standard.
Lexus claims there's 20.1 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. That jumps to 57.4 cubes with the third row folded flat and 97 cubes with all of the rear seats stowed. A one-touch button on the second-row seats flips them for easy access to the rear.
The company's new 14-inch infotainment system is standard here, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The TX is the first new Lexus vehicle to be assembled at the company's Indiana plant.
Both the TX 350 and TX 500H should hit showrooms this fall, while the 550h+ will come later, potentially next year as a 2025 model.
Stay tuned, and head to "Autoblog" for more info on the Lexus TX.
