Lexus has ushered in a new era of luxury with the global reveal of the first-ever TX with 3-row’s, a vehicle made specifically for the North American market.
Practical Design
For the TX, Lexus Design set out to prioritize aerodynamic performance. The result not only enhanced efficiency and handling stability, but also led to the creation of the new Lexus “Unified Spindle”, which incorporates Lexus early design language. The headlights are linked by a narrow aperture that runs beneath the leading edge of the hood, under which a low-set grille forms a seamless spindle shape. This sleek front-end was designed to enhance aerodynamic handling and provides both a sense of mass and cooling performance.
The vehicle’s driving performance is realized through a wide, grounded stance accented by 20-inch wheels for the Premium grade. For those who want a more powerful look, 22-inch wheels are standard for the TX Ultra Luxury (350) and Executive (350 and 550h+) grades. The 500h F SPORT Performance grades also ride on standard 22-inch wheels that sport an exclusive design.
From the back, the TX includes a slim signature L-shaped light bar lamp that mirrors the modern and resolute impression in the front to create a powerful silhouette. The cabin silhouette with its blacked out rear pillar and arrow-shaped ornamentation provides a sleek and refined design.
Interior
Inside, the TX’s driver-focused cockpit design and available 12.3 multi-information display enable a deeper connection to instil confidence and control in the driver. Opening the door with just a touch of the Digital Latch, TX welcomes passengers with available multi-coloured illumination accents and door trim options. Driver controls like the available head-up display (HUD) enables smooth line of sight to minimize driver distraction. Lexus Interface comes standard on the TX with a 14-inch Multimedia Touchscreen Display, which provides easy-to-use controls and clear information to the driver and front-seat passengers, as well as standard Digital Key.
For passengers with an active, on-the-go lifestyle, TX has ample cargo capacity with room for seven carryon suitcases in the rear of the vehicle. When the third-row seats are folded down, cargo capacity increases to 57.4 cubic feet. When both the second and third row are folded down, cargo capacity increases to 97 cubic feet.
Performance
The all-new vehicle will be offered in three powertrain options. These include two electrified models, a Lexus-first 3.5L V6 plug-in hybrid and a high-performance 2.4L turbocharged hybrid powertrain that reduce carbon emissions and help the brand’s progress toward its vision of a carbon-neutral society.
TX 350 AWD offers a responsive 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 engine for an elegant and refined driving performance, as seen on the RX and NX.
TX 500h DIRECT4 AWD offers a 2.4L turbocharged Parallel Hybrid system and is available exclusively as F SPORT Performance. This system, first introduced on the 2023 RX, is combined with DIRECT4 and Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS), which offers responsive maneuverability and enhanced vehicle stability. Previously seen on the 2023 RX and 2023 RZ, DIRECT4 is Lexus’ exclusive all-wheel drive technology that provides instant electric control to all four wheels to transform dynamic performance, working instantaneously according to driving conditions and driver intentions.
the TX 550h+ DIRECT4 AWD plug-in hybrid vehicle offers a Lexus-first, combining a powerful 3.5L V6 engine with DIRECT4. Guests will experience a distinctive driving experience with serene quietness, smooth acceleration, and a manufacturer projected estimated EV range rating of 53 km. This is the first Lexus PHEV assembled in North America and this powertrain will be available at a later date.
The 2024 TX 350 and 500h are expected to go on sale this fall. The 2024 TX 550h+ is expected to go on sale at a later date. For more information, please visit www.lexus.ca/tx
