2024 Lexus TX Review

You can never have too many SUVs in your lineup these days, and now there's this...the 2024 Lexus TX. It may sound like a big tough name, but it's really just a luxury, family, 3-row crossover. And this one is the 500h F Sport model, so it actually has some athleticism baked into its frame. There are quite a few competitors in the luxury 3-row SUV segment, like the Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, and Cadillac XT6. So let's see where the TX fits in amongst that competition.

Good call with the Shredder reference

[@godislove025]

Great video

[@rgm4646]

In my Gx460 i have to start pressing that brake a little sooner lol

[@69sins]

At that price i rather have a sequoia, but the drive and feel of a lexus is tempting. Gonna sell one of my Hondas, maybe my clarity, so I'll be looking into this in a plug-in hybrid drive train. I'll most likely get a Sequoia. Those things are so beautiful and mean looking at the same time.

[@CarGeek360]

The Seqouia Capstone and Platinum are such underrated choices and I’d consider them true luxury SUVs. You should def get one if you like it.

[@lightshunshine3861]

sequoia is Ladder frame suv but TX is monoque SUV, so if you want more comfortible drive then chose TX but if you to go offroad then chose sequoia ,

[@CarGeek360]

@@lightshunshine3861 probably but they’re both great vehicles

[@benc3336]

The V6 needs to be available on all trim levels. Cannot imagine driving this big gal with a four cylinder.

[@pratikmistry357]

Did you felt some weird noise on passenger side when driving over 60mph? When I test drove, I felt is and it was 100% noticeable. For me this is GO or NT-GO decision factor. Please share your thoughts/,feedback on it.

[@cliffordthomas5983]

I had the same wind noise coming from the rea passenger window

[@mattstephenson4345]

Trading my 2023 RX350h in for the TX500h in Incognito - love the RX, but wish it had more space and horsepower. Picking it up in a couple days. Thanks for the video.

[@CCBloom1]

Can you tell me how you are enjoying your new TX? Looked at them today at a dealership and consider it over my QX80.

[@mattstephenson4345]

I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s very quiet, the additional horsepower, and electric motors add significantly to the experience, and their rear wheel steering is fantastic when maneuvering tight areas, like a U-turn, or in parking lots. While I have no issue with the doorhandles, it does confound people the first time they get in or out. The seat bolstering is fine for me, but my wife does find the seats to be more firm or narrow than she’d prefer. I like split armrest, where I added a plexiglass garbage receptacle. The split makes it easier to access without interrupting a passenger who may have their arm there. Unlike many other cars, the cargo area may not have a cigarette lighter style 12 V, as most are replaced with a household style plug-in. this leaves the only cigarette style typical being in the front cubby below the wireless charging. This model doesn’t have extendable under thigh seats , as some other configurations may. Also, compared to other models, the lumbar is only two way, not four-way adjustable. Compared to other vehicles, the HVAC is good, and each row has foot and upper/head vents. I hope this helps, if you have other specific questions, feel free to respond.

[@CCBloom1]

@@mattstephenson4345 Thanks so much for responding and with such great information. Glad you’re enjoying your new Lexus! One more question, I watched a video where it was mentioned that the ambient lighting in the interior is low and leaves for a dark interior at night. Is that true? I now have to wear reading glasses and at night is more difficult for me to see!

[@mattstephenson4345]

@@CCBloom1 Interesting. You can customize the brightness for the full interior ambient lighting, or split it into 3 zones (I think) and then customize each of those separately. I generally find it to be too bright when driving in the dark and opt to dial it down mostly, or entirely when driving in the dark. My TX actually is having an issue with the ambient light on the passenger side dash, it does not turn on at all (need to have it fixed under warranty). That said, the lighting is similar or identical to the 23 RX and I had that for about 18k miles. For driving in the dark, I typically dim the gauge cluster light using the buttons to the left of the gauge cluster and this dims the ambient light proportionately. Once you hit the lowest level, it turns off any ambient light. If I am driving on the highway or where there is little or no street lights (at night) I also turn off the infotainment screen (still runs, just no display) if not just dimming the light to its lowest setting. I do not think you’ll find there interior light to be inadequate.

[@CCBloom1]

@@mattstephenson4345 Well that’s a relief! Thanks for the clarification and your review of the new Lexus TX is right the with the best motor reviewers on this platform! Thank you again for taking the time! Have a wonderful year!!!

For that pricing the GX550 is a no brainer

70k plus out the door probably if not more. Crazy.

[@BaconCruiser]

That 500H is closer to 85K out the door after sales tax and fees.

…Lexus has a $100,000+ suv

[@tinhinnh]

I’d take this over the RX!

[@CocoaBob]

You didn't even mention its direct competitor MDX, especially MDX Type-S. And TX also looks like Honda HRV European model 😅

[@jeffmanning2246]

Totally agree. The TX definitely has the edge on gas mileage, but it’s overall pretty bland looking when compared to the MDX.

[@johnlin2800]

Sienna platform

[@normanli7085]

I understand that the TX is "the direct competitor" to the MDX, but at the same time, it's confusing. Saw both in the same parking lot area, and the TX is definitely noticably taller than the MDX. I feel like I am taller than the MDX, whereas I am about the same height as the TX. On the other hand, I see a perhaps refreshed or prerefreshed GLS on the other side of the street. Yes, the TX is closer to the MDX in terms of price and features. On the other hand, its dimensions is closer to the GLS on the exterior and exceed them on the interior while being thousands less (because theres not as many features as the GLS).

[@Boston37PB]

That is what I thought. I am 6’4” and there is no way I was getting in that MDX third row. Fit in the TX third row with little problem.

[@normanli7085]

@Boston37PB Yeah, that's usually the difference between most "midsize luxury" and "full size luxury" crossovers. While none of them are made for people closer to 7 feet, full-size usually means average and slightly taller adults can fit in those third rows. Mid-size usually means slightly below average to shorter teens, and kids can fit in those third rows.

[@Boston37PB]

@@normanli7085 exactly. on another review I saw people comparing the TX to a BMW X5 and why would I get a TX when the X5 is the same price (and it isn’t as luxurious). I was like uhhh no, the TX is the same size as an X7 and the same price as an X5. So more value in my opinion.

[@socalguy97]

Nice enough, I suppose, but it’s right on par with every other bland, dark, dank suv on the market in 2024. What happened to Lexus models draped in rich leather, warm wood, and earthy-toned interiors? Customers don’t like that anymore? This looks so mass market, and for 80 grand I’d be very disappointed

[@AZ-kl1lk]

It’s like Camry but 7 seats

[@shadow10876]

All that money for a little 4 cylinder on a big car?

[@iloveanime1313]

All this comment for a little ignorance on what that 4 cylinder turbo hybrid provides.

[@hml3672]

He's talking about the room in the third row. He has the back of the second row seat vertical. If someone is sitting in the second row, the third row would only be large enough for a child

[@Boston37PB]

I am 6’4” and fit in the 3rd row with the 2nd row seat back. The 3rd row seats recline.

[@jeremyeinhorn4411]

i own this car, 3rd row is best in class

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

Plug in hybrid? Yuck. Rather have the normal hybrid. Too bad it’s a 6 speed. Not sure why they did that.

did you even watch the video? there are 3 powertrains... the 500h is a regular hybrid.

Lexus needs to stop with these ridiculous looking spindle grills. It’s getting out of hand already..

[@user-jz2qi4vp6f]

Toyota and lexus need to fire whoever designs their suvs. they are always to conservative, and never has that wow factor. they need young fresh artists. It seems like every other manufacturer is better than them when it comes to design. mazda is not luxury but look more luxurious than lexus. its a shame. and they need to change that.

Mazdas SUVs look extremely feminine. More so than a van.
