Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2026 Lexus TX
1st generation (2024-present), third model year; minor update year after the 2025 addition of the TX 350 F SPORT Handling.
Lexus positions the TX as its family-first three-row luxury SUV for North America. Its core appeal is simple: adult-friendly space in all three rows, generous cargo room, a calm ride, strong standard safety tech, and a choice of gas, performance-hybrid, or plug-in-hybrid powertrains. In the Lexus SUV family, the TX is the practical road-trip and daily-family-hauler choice, sitting apart from the more rugged GX and LX by focusing on comfort, space, and easy on-road use.
The TX 350 remains the family-focused foundation, with seven seats, a 275-hp turbo engine, a 14-inch touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The TX 500h F SPORT Performance models emphasize sharper road manners with 366-hp hybrid power, AWD, rear-wheel steering, and an adjustable sport suspension. The TX 550h+ Luxury pairs a 404-hp V6 plug-in-hybrid system and about 33 miles of electric range with leather seating, premium audio, and a panorama glass roof.
