00:00For 2024, Lexus introduced a new three-row SUV, the TX, which is designed to replace the RX-L and deliver the spaciousness and luxury that its predecessor lacked.
00:12The 2024 TX shares much with the Toyota Grand Highlander, but takes on more upscale styling and stronger powertrains.
00:21It features a new interpretation of the Lexus spindle grille, and it's available with a range of engines, including gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options.
00:32Inside, the TX impresses with a 14-inch central touchscreen, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a fully digital 12.3-inch gauge cluster.
00:43For audiophiles, a 21-speaker premium sound system is available.
00:49Performance-wise, the TX 350 comes with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the TX 500h features a 2.4-liter turbo with hybrid power.
01:01The TX 550h Plus plug-in hybrid has a 3.5-liter V6 and some electric driving range.
01:10Lexus has addressed the old RX-L's shortcomings with the TX's more generous dimensions.
01:16The rear of the new SUV provides better headroom and cargo space, offering up to 97 cubic feet with the seats folded, a big improvement over the RX-L.
01:27The TX is equipped with Lexus Safety System Plus 3.0, which includes adaptive cruise control and lane tracing assist, among other features.
01:37The technology suite also includes parking assist and traffic jam assist for added convenience.
01:44Compared to rivals like the Lincoln Aviator, the TX offers more cargo space behind the third row and provides a competitive luxury experience.
01:54However, its ride can feel firm, and while the powertrains are refined, they may not excite those seeking high performance.
02:02Starting at slightly more than $55,000, the 2024 Lexus TX blends luxury with practicality.
