This is a Motormouth first Look at the all-new 2024 Lexus TX three-row mid-size luxury SUV based on the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander.
The 2024 Lexus TX rides on the same platform as the Toyota Grand Highlander and there are certainly similarities, but Lexus gave the 2024 LexusTX its own look with a unique grille Lexus is calling Unified Spindle.
There are three powertrain options, two are electrified. The 2024 LexusTX 350 has a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Estimated combined fuel economy is 11.2L/100 km, 21 MPG. In the US, FWD and AWD options are available, Canada standard AWD.
The 2024 Lexus TX 500h is going to be available only as an F Sport Performance model which is shown in the pictures. It has a 2.4L turbocharged hybrid powertrain with a 6-speed automatic transmission, 366 horsepower and 409 lb-ft of torque. DIRECT4 AWD is standard. The estimated combined fuel economy is 9.8L/100 km, 24 MPG. This is the same hybrid system that’s in the RX 500h but the TX offers 1 less horsepower than the RX 500h but 3 lb-ft more torque. Comparing it to the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max with the same powertrain, the TX has an 4 extra horsepower and an extra 9 lb-ft of torque.
Finally, there’s the 2024 Lexus TX 550h+ with a 3.5L V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, it’s matched to a CVT and has a combined 406 horsepower. Lexus says, the estimated combined fuel economy should come in around 7.8L/100 km, 30 MPG and an estimated EV range of 53 km/33 miles.
Overall length of the 2024 Lexus TX varies depending on the model you choose with the gas and plug-in hybrid at 203.1” and the hybrid 203.5”, this is about 2” longer than the Grand Highlander. Overall width is 78.3”and height 70.1”, which is exactly the same as the Grand Highlander.
Overall cargo space is slightly less than the Grand Highlander at 97 cubic feet. Space behind the second row at 57.4 cubic feet and behind the third row at 20.1 cubic feet which is also slightly less than the Toyota but can still fit 7 carry-on suitcases just like the Grand Highlander.
Although third row measurements have not been released yet for the TX, we expect them to be very similar to the Grand Highlander which offers 33.5” of legroom and can fit an adult
comfortably.
The 2024 Lexus TX will be exclusively assembled at the Indiana plant which is the first Lexus vehicle to be assembled there. Pricing has not been announced yet. The 2024 Lexus TX 350 and 500h will hit
dealerships this fall. The 550h+ the plug-in hybrid is expected to go on-sale at a later date which hasn’t been confirmed yet.
