The 2024 Lexus TX 550h+ Is Japan's Grandest 3-Row Plug-In Hybrid Family SUV
A proper 3-row family SUV has been sorely absent from the #Lexus lineup for years, but that all changes with the introduction of the supersized #LexusTX for 2024. Sitting at the top of the trim levels, the #LexusTX550h is the first-ever 3-row #PlugInHybrid SUV from the brand and this #TX550h has its sights set on vehicles like the Volvo XC90 Recharge and Mercedes-Benz GLE450e. Unlike the other models, this special TX combines a 3.5L V6 with two powerful electric motors to give it the most power in the TX family.

When you can't decide between going fully electric or going with a traditional hybrid, the new TX 550h+ is the perfect PHEV compromise between both and this TX is a special member because of its 3.5L V6 and 2-electric motor combination. We hope this combination eventually makes its way under the hood of other Lexus products, and while this technology is certainly not new in this space, the Lexus TX does offer one of the most spacious interiors in its class.

They offer better technology and more features like massaging seats, heated 3rd row, nicer leather and ambient lighting. And more interior space and up to 8 seats. Not to mention they drive better than the TX. They’re significantly faster than the base tx350. The 500h isn’t much faster but it’s significantly more expensive.

I never got why Lexus decided to make this. They needed a bigger 3 row, but the new GX is that. It doesn't have as much cargo room, but it's better all around for similar money, and you get messaging seats & RWD dynamics. Lexus & Toyota have too many SUVs. The TX can go. It's not as BeSPOKE as other Lexus models because it's mostly America only, so a lot of R&D didn't go into it. The regular Highlander should go as well as the Land Cruiser because the 4Runner seems like a better buy.

why are some people whining about not having a "walk away auto-lock"? I am going to guess anyone who can afford to buy these vehicles have garage where owners like to leave it unlocked for the convinces. I am going to guess enough people complained about auto locker feature to get rid of all recent new vehicles. guessing "wood" and chrome trims slowly disappearing from Lexus vehicles because of cost. I am glad Lexus finally phased out the touch pad and joystick controller but I like to see more visual impact like exterior chrome pieces and wood/real-fake interior. finally new Lexus have good touch head unit with large screen and decently quick response. Lexus is definitely worth extra $$ over Toyota counter model for extra nice drive, noise control, and overall aesthetics.
Think this powertrain will hit the new GX?
They should have put in a bigger battery to get a few more extra miles to compensate for the extra weight of this suv. I get more miles with my cheaper nx450+ and this being there most expensive plug in hybrid i would expect more miles .

Just buy an Acura or GMC for this type of money. I don’t care. Lexus should include at least a standard sunroof. There was a time when most of all if not all Lexus cars came with a sunroof as standard. From ES, IS, GX, LX, GS, can go on and on. Lexus went from being a main German Luxury competitor to now second grade luxury. With the exception of the LX/LS. Everything under the LS/LX seems more like an Infiniti & Acura competitor. Even the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve is nicer than this…. And Jeep is not good to me. Interestingly enough Genesis is sorta taking that spot previously that Lexus had.

GMC is more of a luxury brand and has done a better job differentiating the all-new Acadia from the all-new redesigned Traverse than Lexus. There really is no difference between this TX and the Toyota Grand Highlander yet there’s a larger price difference between this and the Toyota compared to the *gm* twins. Makes me wonder how large Toyota profits are here. Both the Acadia’s exterior and interior design are more upscale than this Lexus TX, blows this out of the water in luxury & technology and that’s high praise for GMC. Soyfan, you always give Cadillac lots of crap for their new nomenclature which to be much simpler than Lexus naming strategy and nomenclature which you never complain about despite how confusing and overly complicated _it_ is. Lexus could certainly simplify the names and trim level structure.

@@seannguyen593 I'm not sure if it is corporate or dealership choice. Considering they just selling vehicles with a plug in thr last 18-months or so they may not.
Those giant wheels are really dumb on what is, basically, a fancy family car.
I feel like the front end really looks like a Toyota…
Way overpriced 😢
That interior is old dated and cheap looking. What is Lexus thinking. I feel they are still trying to use up inventory stock from 10 years ago. That looks like the steering wheel from the 2014 GX model. I really feel like Lexus no longer cares about luxury and quality interiors. They are not offering that top quality luxury feel especially in comparison to some other vehicles. It’s not even as nice as the 2024 infinite SUV line. I’m disappointed.

I’m glad you’re disappointed Because I or as everyone calls me the biggest Toyota hater kept calling it out that the tx would be really underwhelming. I’m glad it turned out this way 😁

@@naveenthemachine I’ve never owned a Toyota or Lexus but I’ve had other so called luxury brands and I was really excited about the outside look of the GX 550 and I took it out I liked it a lot but then I got home and read the model work up with the specs and it was all fake interior for like $80,000 and there is no way I’m paying that kind of money for shit pleather

It's barely better than a Limited or Platinum Hybrid Max Grand Highlander and $25k more.
So why would someone get this over a Grand Highlander Platinum ?

Why would someone get this over a telluride, palisade, enclave, grand Cherokee, aviator, traverse or Acadia ?

Why would anyone pay so much for a boring-looking SUV like the Highlander? Lexus reminds me of Nissan nowadays
Hreat suv , but the hybrid one is too expensive. I wonder why ppl don't buy hybrid often.

Exactly. They decided to take the legendary 2grfe away because it was too reliable. Then they stuffed a 4banger instead, and if you want it again, you'll have to fork out the dough.
Pure laziness by Toyota motor corp

And people complain about EVs? Not gonna lie, I would MUCH rather have a R1S Max Pack Dual Motor for 10K more before any incetives. Those things easily get 300-350 miles of highway range which is 4+ hours of highway driving. Ive never seen a family travel more than 3-4 hours before stopping. This Lexus seems to complicated and expensive. Either get a R1S (even though passanger space is a bit less) or save 20K and get a Grand Highlander Max fot 60K
This is Lexus's fastest vehicle...5.3s to sixty...
