I have a New Luxury TX 350 and the nose of the vehicle is bold which was part of the attraction. We have five grandchildren and everyone loves the vehicle. Lexus Safety System + 3.0 is standard where many of the Luxury competitors is an additional option. The cupholders are removal because you can wash them and the tray underneath. The second row seats do also slide forwards and backwards which also fit our grandchildren car seats.

Remember that the first and the second row legroom in Grand Highlander and TX is actually SMALLER than that in regular highlander. The 3rd row is still for kids, for the most part, and the cargo space behind the 3rd row is only on paper larger than that of regular highlander due to the boxier shape of the SUV.

I have to disagree. We compared the regular vs the Grand highlander next to each other in my driveway with a 6ft teenager and the grand highlander has more room in the 3rd row by a couple of inches. It was about the same in the 2nd row. The GH is 6.5 inches longer than the regular highlander. We went from a Sienna to the GH with 4 tall teenagers and the 6 of us fit great with no complaints from the kids. I think we will miss the trunk space on the Sienna but overall we love the GH. I can’t speak to the car with car seats. I wish these reviews were not totally focused on car seats as those years are so short and the real struggle is finding the right car as the kids get taller.

What a miss by Lexus for the second row seat. Third row usage is such an exception and not a norm.

My feeling for Lexus TX and Grand Highlander is that they are great options once your kids are out of the car seats, just not going to work if you have three kids in the car seats. Better off with MDX, Pilot, Atlas or a minivan if you have a need to install three car seats. I currently have three Grieco Slim LX 3 in MDX second row and it is working well for our family. MDX drives and handles much nicer than the LX350 as well.
