Recently I had the chance to see both the 2024 Lexus GX and the 2024 Lexus TX. While the GX grabbed headlines, the TX stands out as a new luxury three-row SUV that fills a distinct role in Lexus’ lineup—offering family-oriented space and comfort without stepping into LX territory.

Spacious Interior Designed for the Whole Family

The Lexus TX raises expectations for family haulers. Its third row provides generous legroom so adults can ride comfortably on long trips. Behind the third row, the cargo area measures 20.1 cubic feet—ample for suitcases, groceries, or sporting gear.

Fold down the second and third rows and the TX offers up to 97 cubic feet of cargo space, giving families a versatile platform for everything from weekend getaways to moving day.

Refined Efficiency: Electrified Powertrain Options

Lexus equips the TX with two electrified powertrain choices that balance efficiency and performance. One option is a plug-in hybrid system that pairs a V6 with electric motors, delivering improved fuel economy and the flexibility for longer trips without frequent refueling.

The other is a high-performance 2.4L turbocharged hybrid available in the F SPORT Performance trim. Tuned suspension and advanced engineering give this version sharper acceleration and more responsive handling for drivers who want a sportier feel from a family SUV.

Craftsmanship and Intelligent Design

Inside the TX, the cabin emphasizes quality and thoughtful design. The driver-focused cockpit places key controls within easy reach, and an available 12.3-inch multi-information display presents essential driving data with clarity.

Premium materials—hand-stitched leather and real wood accents—create an upscale atmosphere. Surfaces and switches are carefully finished so everyday interactions feel refined and durable.

Family-Friendly Features for Comfort and Convenience

The TX’s interior is tailored for family life. The second row can be configured with captain’s chairs or a 60:40 split-folding bench, letting owners adapt seating to passengers or cargo.

Getting into the third row is effortless thanks to a slide-assist walk-in system that tilts and glides the second-row seats forward. The third row offers comfortable seating for adults with notable legroom and headroom. Throughout the cabin, practical storage compartments, cup holders, and charging ports keep passengers organized, refreshed, and connected on longer journeys.

Advanced Safety and Connected Technology

Safety is a core focus for Lexus, and the TX includes the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite with a range of driver-assist technologies. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection warns drivers of potential conflicts, while Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist provides corrective steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

Features like All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and Road Sign Assist help reduce driver workload and increase confidence on busy roads.

On the tech front, the Lexus Interface Multimedia System is centered on a 14-inch touchscreen that delivers intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility let passengers connect smartphones easily to stream music, podcasts, and navigation apps.

A Balanced Choice for Family Adventures

The Lexus TX is positioned as a versatile, luxurious family vehicle that blends space, efficiency, and upscale features. Its roomy cabin, electrified powertrain options, and practical amenities make it well suited for daily driving and long-distance travel alike.

With meticulous interior craftsmanship and a broad array of safety and convenience technologies, the TX aims to make every trip more comfortable and enjoyable for families.

Most families will primarily use the TX on paved roads, but those seeking more off-road capability may prefer the GX or LX models, which are built for both on- and off-road comfort.
