With class leading passenger room with seating for up to seven along with spacious cargo space and when coupling this to an inherent smooth, quiet ride, the 2026 Lexus TX 350 AWD crossover is a genuine, classy, family hauler.
TX is available in TX 350, TX 500h F Sport Performance, TX 550h, TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid and in trim models of Standard, Premium, Luxury, F Sport Performance Premium and F Sport Performance Luxury.
We were privileged to test the TX 350 Luxury AWD version. Along with this there are three powertrains available. Of those our test car came with the 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that generates 275-hp and 317 lb/ft of torque for EPA mileage estimates of 20 city, 26-highway mpg.
TX 350s exterior retains the familiar Lexus family look with its suave smooth styling lines and bold horizontal grille that gives it an EV appearance.
Lexus always boasts of having beautiful interiors and the TX is no exception. The three-row TX has sofa soft, plush, heated/ventilated leather front seats and heated/ventilated second row seats, all with sueded inserts.
A 14-inch touchscreen display serves a host of functions and features including 4G connected services, Cloud navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto connectivity, front/rear/overhead/revolving cameras, satellite radio, premium audio, drive mode selections, HVAC controls and some voice command.
A digital gauge cluster takes over for what the touchscreen doesn’t cover with an embedded driver information display with driver warning notices that are detected by a sensor on the steering wheel column. It senses when the driver turns the head thereby taking eyes off the road ahead. There’s also the full-length sunroof.
A low 20-inch step-in into the second and third row seats that have the same plushness as the fronts, and they offer decent leg room. Second row captain’s chairs tilt and slide forward to ease third row seat access which are mainly for youngsters. And the second-row seats have separate HVAC controls that are located on the rear of the console.
TX’s cargo area is spacious. With the third-row seats upright, the area measures 24 inches deep, 47.5 wide, 32 high and provides 20.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Flip the third row at the touch of two buttons and capacity increases to 57.4 cubic feet for 53 inches of cargo loading depth. Slide and tilt the second row forward and loading depth expands to 63 inches. The power liftgate has a kick-open sensor with lift-over onto the cargo floor a low 32 inches.
TX’s driving experience is all Lexus meaning smooth and super quiet. With 7.9 inches of ground clearance TX can handle modest snow depths. Even with that and AWD, I wouldn’t think of taking this beautiful SUV off-road.
Handling wise and with a 38.0 foot turning radius, TX parks easily and its weight gives it a planted feel in hair-pin turns or during quick maneuvers.
The 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder offers gobs of power for passing and for a tow capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.
With a base price of $62,390, TX comes with a myriad of features such as Lexus Safety System 3.0 (that includes a host of important safety features), blind spot monitor w/rear cross traffic alert, digital latch w/safe exist assist, heads-up display on the windshield and more. TX also has an optional self-park feature.
On the options side, heated/ventilated second row captain’s chairs add ($680); convenience package includes front cross traffic alert, traffic jam assist, 4G w/digital key that can start, lock/unlock TX via a smartphone ($895); 22-inch alloy wheels ($2,140); Mark Levinson premium audio ($1,160); Technology package w/panoramic view monitor, advanced park/remote park along with delivery $1,450, brings the bottom line to $71,095. The only feature missing for this price is a dash cam embedded in the rearview mirror, very helpful identifying accident information and more.
TX comes with a Basic warranty of 4 years/50K miles; Drivetrain, 6/70K miles; and Rust Coverage of 6 years/Unlimited mileage.
If you’re in the market for a classy and all-encompassing luxury SUV, take a TX 350 for a test ride. You’ll be convinced it’s all what I say it is and then some.
