The all-new Lexus luxury SUV starts at a reasonable price for the segment.
Lexus’s first true midsize three-row SUV, the all-new TX, is almost here. With a properly boxy body atop car-based underpinnings, it’s a far roomier offering than the half-baked, extended version of the last-generation two-row RX Lexus sold previously. It’s also far more family friendly than the brand’s body-on-frame, more-off-road-oriented GX and LX SUVs. Those may have had three rows of seating, but were aimed at a different swath of buyers than those shopping for mall crawlers like the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Infiniti QX60, Volvo XC90, and so on. With the TX set to launch soon, we finally know how much it’ll cost.
2024 Lexus TX Price? It’s Nice
There will be several versions of the TX available at launch, with a third option coming later. The entry-level TX350 comes powered by a 275-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine; the TX500h F Sport Performance model uses a hybridized version of that 2.4-liter engine and produces a saucier 366 total hp; and coming later there is a TX550h+ plug-in hybrid that combines several electric motors with a 3.5-liter V-6 and delivers 406 hp.
Each of these TX variants is subdivided into narrower trim levels, with the TX350 available in base, Premium, and Luxury specifications, with each offered with front- or all-wheel-drive for an extra $1,600; the TX500h is only available with all-wheel-drive and in Premium and Luxury trims. TX550h+ details are forthcoming.
Lexus TX350 Pricing And Features
- TX350: The least-expensive TX350, with front-wheel-drive and no options, starts at $55,050 including Lexus’s rich $1,350 destination charge. Seven-passenger seating is standard, with eight-way power adjustment and heating on the fronts, and the cabin is slathered in Lexus’s NuLuxe faux-leather. Proximity key access is included, as is a power-opening tailgate with hands-free sensor, manual rear side window sunshades, a wireless phone charger, 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rain-sensing wipers, and Lexus’s Safety System+ 3.0 active safety gear (adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and auto high beams).
- TX350 Premium: Besides opening access to a number of higher-end option packages, the Premium trim adds as standard unique 20-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, power-folding and reclining third-row seats, and front-seat ventilation and memory function. The price rises to $58,450, with AWD again a $1,600 option.
- TX350 Luxury: The biggest changeover you’ll see going from a TX350 Premium to Luxury model is leather. It replaces the faux stuff in the lesser 350s. Additional standard content includes “thematic ambient lighting,” 10-way power adjustment for the front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and headlight washers. If you want six-passenger seating with second-row captain’s chairs, you’ll need to upgrade to this Luxury spec, by the way. The price is $60,950, plus $1,600 for AWD.
TX500h F Sport Performance Pricing And Features
- TX500h Premium: The TX500h comes standard with all-wheel drive and six-passenger seating, presumably in keeping with its zestier vibe relative to the other TXs, albeit slathered in NuLuxe faux leather. (You can’t get a 500h with seven-passenger seating, in fact.) Lexus sprinkles a bunch of F Sport bits, from sport pedals to the steering wheel to the dark gray 22-inch wheels. It is otherwise equipped like the TX350 Luxury, plus heated and ventilated second-row seats, and starts at $69,350.
- TX500h Luxury: For actual leather, you’ll want the $72,650 TX500h Luxury, which replaces NuLuxe with real stuff. It also includes a heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, and unique 22-inch wheels.
Option packages include the Technology package (12.3-inch gauge cluster screen, 360-degree camera, self-parking, digital rearview mirror, and head-up display, depending on the trim it’s added to) for between $1,050 and $2,380; the $895 Convenience package (digital key, front cross-traffic alert, traffic jam assist); and $250 Cold Area package (windshield wiper de-icer, heated wheel on models not equipped).
Compared to the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, and Infiniti QX60, the TX is priced in the thick of things. The Acura starts at $51,045, the Infiniti at $50,845, and the Audi is way out there at $60,695. That puts the TX right in the mix as a compelling option for shoppers.
