Lexus TX: Trims, Generations & Buyer's Guide
Last updated August 4, 2026
The Lexus TX is a three-row luxury SUV built for families, with adult-friendly seating, generous cargo room, and a comfort-focused road manner. It is known as Lexus's practical daily-driver and road-trip alternative to the more rugged GX and LX.
Since its 2024 debut, the TX has stayed focused on carrying families in comfort rather than tackling rugged terrain. Its defining theme is useful space across all three rows, backed by a calm ride, strong standard safety technology, and gas, hybrid, and plug-in-hybrid powertrains. It was developed specifically for North America.
Strengths
- All three rows are designed to accommodate adults, making the TX more useful for family duty than many three-row SUVs with tight rearmost seats.
- Generous cargo room supports daily errands and longer family trips without making luggage space an afterthought.
- The comfort-focused ride and easy on-road manners suit commuting and road trips.
- Every model year has included a 14-inch touchscreen and a comprehensive Lexus safety suite as standard equipment.
- Gas, performance-hybrid, and plug-in-hybrid versions give used shoppers three distinct approaches to power and fuel use.
- Every 2026 TX has all-wheel drive and is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Who it's for
The TX best fits families who regularly use the third row and want more comfort and cargo room than a smaller luxury SUV provides. It also suits road-trip drivers who value an easygoing ride and straightforward on-road manners more than rugged capability. Depending on the version, it seats six or seven people in 2026.
Lexus TX lineup
The TX 350 is the straightforward gas-powered core of the lineup, with Premium and Luxury serving as its higher trim levels. Since 2025, the TX 350 F SPORT Handling has been the gas version for shoppers who want a sportier look and an adaptive suspension. The TX 500h F SPORT Performance pairs hybrid efficiency with a performance focus; in 2026, it is rated at 366 horsepower. The TX 550h+ Luxury is the plug-in hybrid flagship, aimed at drivers who can charge regularly and want the lineup's strongest rated output, which reaches 404 horsepower in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of SUV is the Lexus TX?

How many people does the Lexus TX seat?
The Lexus TX seats six or seven, depending on the version. Gas TX 350 models generally use a seven-seat layout, while the TX 500h hybrids, TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid, and newer TX 350 F SPORT Handling use second-row captain’s chairs and seat six.

Is the Lexus TX roomy enough for adults in the third row?
Yes. Adult-friendly space in all three rows is a central part of the TX design. It has 33.5 inches of rear legroom and 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, making it well suited to carrying people and luggage together.
Should I look at a Lexus TX instead of a GX or LX?
Look at the TX if your priorities are family space, a comfortable on-road ride, and easy everyday use. The GX and LX have a more rugged focus, while the TX is the Lexus three-row SUV aimed at commuting, school runs, and road trips.
How many generations of the Lexus TX are there?
There is one Lexus TX generation. The model debuted for 2024 and remains in its first generation, so every used TX shares the same basic family-focused design and three-row layout.
Lexus TX Reviews
What owners are saying about the Lexus TX.
4.3
Lexus TX
(90 reviews)
“Excellent vehicle with superior fit and finish. Very smooth transmission and surprisingly strong 4 cylinder engine with good pick up speed. Very nice interior with room for 6 people. Two things I would change: it needs a larger gas tank and the 4 cylinder engine doesn't sound the best for a SUV of this quality.”
“Extremely satisfied with TX 500 F Sport. Only gripe is distance per tank. I wish fuel tank was 5-10 more gallons for 500 mile distance per tank. We are filling our TX up 5 times per month due to sub 300 miles per tank, unless strictly highway driving. Would LOVE thigh extender on driver's seat with dual lumbar found in non-F Sport variants.”
“Make sure the Voice Commands in the Navigation System work all the time. I have had a problem since I got the SUV with voice turn commands and Lexus has been unable to fix it. It will work for a period of time then stops again.”
“The Lexus TX is a great car so far we have really enjoyed it. It is very quiet and comfortable. It has great room inside. The car is very well built.”
“Definitely recommend, reliable, safe and comfortable drive. Interior design is beautiful as well as outside. So many great features for families.”
