Based on the Toyota Grand Highlander, the TX provides adult-friendly comfort across three seating rows, which is a rarity in this segment. Modern tech includes wireless smartphone integration, a 14-inch touchscreen, and the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 driver-assistance suite.AdvertisementAdvertisementPowertrains include a 275-hp 2.4-liter turbo four in the RX 350, this engine with hybrid assistance and 366 hp in the TX 500h, and a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 in the plug-in hybrid TX 550h+, which has 404 hp and up to 33 miles of electric range. The TX 350 is FWD or AWD, but all hybrids are AWD, while towing capacity is 5,000 pounds for all powertrains.Best suited for: Families who want a premium three-row midsize SUV with hybrid options, Toyota reliability, and decent passenger space across all three rows.2025-2026 Lexus TX 550h in Nightfall MicaLexusWhat's New for 2025Now in its second model year, the TX 350 gets an F Sport Handling trim (below) that comes with AWD, adaptive suspension, F Sport exterior styling, more heavily bolstered front seats, and matte-black 22-inch alloys. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster becomes standard on all trims, and the adaptive cruise control now has an automatic curve-speed reduction feature. The hybrids carry over without changes.2025-2026 Lexus TX 350 F Sport Handling AWD in Nightfall MicaLexusExteriorThe TX has a commanding presence, with the latest variation of the Unified Spindle grille, and swept-up LED DRLs and headlights. Signature LED Blade taillights are featured at the back, and aluminum roof rails are standard. Alloy wheels vary in size from 20 to 22 inches, and the F Sport Handling trim adds black roof rails, a unique fascia, black mirror caps, and dark-chrome window surrounds.2025 Lexus TX 500hView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe TX’s cabin is built with comfort in mind, and Lexus engineers examined hip angles and foot positions to create comfortable seating in all three rows, even for adults. Three-zone climate control, a wireless charging pad, and USB-C ports for all rows are standard, and you can add the top trims’ ventilated front seats to the 350, though only upper trims have access to the second-row captain’s chairs. Top trims also get a panoramic glass roof, thematic ambient lighting, and semi-aniline leather upholstery. A 14-inch touchscreen is standard, and 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio is available. Cargo capacity is 20.2 cu-ft behind the third row and maxes out at 97 cu-ft with all the rear seats folded.2025 Lexus TX 350 Premium interiorLexusAdvertisementAdvertisementView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimTrim LevelPriceBase trim: TX 350 FWD$56,490Top trim: TX 550h+ Luxury AWD$78,560Best value trim: TX 350 Luxury$61,640The 2025 Lexus TX’s prices range to nearly $80K, but the best value comes from the TX 350 Luxury FWD, which comes with semi-aniline leather, ten-way power front seats with heating and ventilation, heated outboard second-row seats, and thematic cabin lighting.2025 Lexus TX Key SpecsPowertrain OptionsEngineHorsepowerTorque0-60 mphDrivetrain2.4L Turbo I4 (TX 350)275 hp317 lb-ft8.0 sec (FWD) / 7.8 sec (AWD)FWD / AWD2.4L Turbo I4 Hybrid (TX 500h)366 hp (combined)406 lb-ft6.1 secDIRECT4 AWD3.5L V6 PHEV (TX 550h+)404 hp (combined)N/A5.9 secDIRECT4 AWDFuel Economy (MPG)ConfigurationCityHighwayCombinedAnnual Fuel CostTX 350 FWD212723$2,550TX 350 AWD202623$2,550TX 500h AWD272827$2,150TX 550h+ AWD76 MPGe, 29 mpg gas, 33-mile EV range$1,400DimensionsDimensionMeasurementOverall Length203.15-203.54Wheelbase116.14 inWidth78.35 in (mirrors folded)Height70.08 inCargo Volume behind row 1 / 2 / 397.0 / 57.4 / 20.2 cu-ftHeadroom Row 1 / 2 / 340.02-41.46 / 38.57-40.17 / 37.2 inLegroom Row 1 / 2 / 341.68 / 39.5 / 33.5 inWarrantyCoverageDurationLimited Warranty4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain Warranty6 years / 70,000 milesComplimentary Maintenance1 year / 10,000 milesCorrosion Perforation Warranty6 years / unlimited milesHybrid System Warranty8 years / 100,000 milesHybrid Battery Warranty10 years / 150,000 milesPros and ConsPros:Best-in-class 3rd-row spacePowertrain choices include hybrid and plug-in hybridWell-equipped base modelImpressive fuel economyCons:Interior materials a step below traditional Lexus standardsTX 350 feels underpowered for a vehicle this sizeCabin design too similar to cheaper Grand HighlanderOptions and packages drive pricing up quicklyVerdictThe Lexus TX succeeds where previous three-row Lexus models like the RX-L failed, because its purpose-built cabin genuinely accommodates adults in all the seating rows, coupled with a generous 97-cu-ft maximum cargo capacity. However, the cabin isn’t as premium as we’d expect from a Lexus, and reminds us too much of the one in the cheaper Grand Highlander.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe ride is quiet and comfortable, and the F Sport Handling adds some on-road dexterity. The powertrain options include hybrids, along with a PHEV with 33 miles of EV range, but the base gas 350 can feel a bit sluggish, though it has sufficient mid-range oomph for daily driving; if you can live with the performance, the TX 350 Luxury is a great buy, with all the typical Lexus refinement and stability, even if it’s hard to justify the price premium over the Grand Highlander.2025 Lexus TX 350 AWD LuxuryAmos KwonCompetitorsVolvo XC90Lincoln AviatorAcura MDXAudi Q7Shop the Car MarketplaceThis story was originally published by Autoblog on May 28, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
