Less than a month after Toyota debuted the new Grand Highlander 3-row SUV, Lexus follows suit with its version built exclusively for North America — the 2024 TX, including the TX 350, TX 500h, and TX 550h+. Sporting a new Lexus Unified Spindle design up front, the brand’s first 3.5L V6 PHEV, and the first Lexus to roll out of their Indiana, US plant, the mid-size TX is unlike anything the luxury brand has produced in the past. And, of course, that proper 3rd-row. Here’s a closer look.
2024 Lexus TX Release Date, Trims, and Price
The 2024 TX 350 and 500h are expected to sell in Fall 2023. The range-topping 406 horsepower TX 550h+ with the new 3.5L V6 PHEV will arrive later, but Lexus hasn’t confirmed when. Here are the TX grades available with full pricing:

2024 Lexus TX Interior and Dimensions
The big problem with mid-size SUVs is the subpar 3rd-row offering; it’s almost like an afterthought. While it’s convenient when you’ve got seven passengers, that last row almost always lacks legroom, headroom, and other features. Plus, where do you put the extra luggage? Lexus solves this with the TX’s adult-sized 3rd-row offering ample legroom and decent cargo space of 20.1 cubic feet behind the third row. As with Cousin Grand Highlander’s interior, that’s good for up to 7 carry-on suitcases. The Lexus RX L, a smaller version of the Lexus RX with a 3rd-row, was initially introduced in 2017. However, it has been discontinued in 2023. And now we know why.
Interior Cargo Dimensions:
| Specification | TX 350, TX 500h, TX 550h+ |
|---|---|
| Cargo space behind third row | 20.1 cubic feet (569 L) |
| Cargo space with third row folded flat | 57.4 cubic feet (1,625 L) |
| Cargo space with second row folded flat | 97 cubic feet (2,747 L) |
TX Standard vs. TX Premium/Luxury Interior Dimensions

2024 Lexus TX Hybrid and Gas Engine Options
In addition to a gas-powered 2.4L turbo engine, there will be two electrified options. Including the familiar 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 engine powering the Lexus RX and NX and, for the first time, a 3.5L V6 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) with DIRECT4 motivating the range-topping TX 550h+. Specs for all three models:
TX 350
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.4L Turbo Gas |
| Horsepower | 275 hp |
| Torque | 317 lb.-ft |
| Transmission | 8AT |
| Drivetrain | FWD/AWD |
| Fuel Economy (city & hwy combined) | 21 mpg (11.2 L/100 km) |
TX 500h
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.4L Turbo Hybrid |
| Horsepower | 366 hp |
| Torque | 409 lb.-ft |
| Transmission | 6AT |
| Drivetrain | DIRECT4 AWD |
| Fuel Economy (city & hwy combined) | 24 mpg (9.8 L/100 km) |
TX 550h+
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.5L V6 Plug-in Hybrid |
| Horsepower | 406 hp |
| Torque | – |
| Transmission | CVT |
| Drivetrain | DIRECT4 AWD |
| Fuel Economy (city & hwy combined) | 30 mpg, 31 mi. EV range (7.8 L/100 km, 53 km. EV range) |
Note the entry-level TX 350 comes with FWD or AWD in the US; in Canada, it’s AWD only across the board. Both TX 500h and TX 550h+ have AWD drivetrains only. While the Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX offer three powertrain options, the output and key specs differ. Whereas the more considerably redesigned Lexus GX and Lexus LX adopt Lexus’ GA-F platform, the TX sits on the GA-K platform for a low centre of gravity and better weight distribution.

2024 Lexus TX Exterior Dimensions and Colours
In terms of exterior design, this medium-sized Lexus SUV takes on a broad, grounded stance. It’s a long SUV measuring over 200 inches in length. Still, based on our TX first drive review, it is aerodynamic without compromising efficiency and handling stability. The brand’s new Lexus unified spindle design feature at the low-set grille looks clean yet bold with its more horizontal appearance. The headlights run under the leading edge of the hood, and at the back, a slim signature L-shaped light bar lamp looks sharp.
We don’t want to call this thing a luxury minivan alternative, but if you’re shopping for a minivan with a more premium vibe (without going for the top Sienna), the TX could be at the top of your list. The 500h and 550h+ sit on standard 22-inch wheels and can upgrade the 300 grade to 22s over the stock 20-inch rollers.
