The Lexus TX is a mid-size luxury SUV that was unveiled at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show. It shares its platform with the Toyota Highlander and Subaru Ascent, but boasts a unique design language that sets it apart from its siblings.
Exterior Design:
The TX features a bold exterior design that is distinct from other Lexus models. Its front fascia is characterized by a large, trapezoidal grille with a textured, diamond-patterned mesh insert. The LED headlights are positioned at the edges of the fenders and feature a unique "L" shape. The hood has a distinctive fin-like protrusion in the middle, which serves as a visual cue to the vehicle's size.
Interior Design:
Inside, the TX boasts an opulent interior that exudes luxury and sophistication. It features a dual-screen dashboard setup with a 7-inch infotainment screen on top of a 6.1-inch instrument cluster display at eye level. The cabin has been designed to provide ample space for passengers and cargo, with plenty of legroom in the second row.

The Lexus TX is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 265 horsepower. This powerplant is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that channels power to all four wheels via a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

As with other modern luxury SUVs, the TX boasts a comprehensive suite of safety features, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system. Additionally, it comes equipped with a range of advanced driver assistance systems, such as blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
Interior Features:
The interior features include heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, a power-adjustable steering column, a wireless charging pad, and a premium audio system. Additionally, the TX offers an optional Moonroof Package that adds a power liftgate and hands-free tailgate opening.
