Lexus TX: three-row SUV, engines and trims
The Lexus TX is a large three-row SUV launched in 2023 and designed for families needing space and luxury. Built in the USA, it comes with petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid engines. We look at the versions, trims, and what buyers need to know.
TX in brief
The TX is Lexus's biggest and roomiest crossover, primarily designed for families. The three-row interior offers 6 or 7 seats, and the body is more spacious than the RX.
The car is built in the USA and arrives in Lithuania mostly as a new or used import. Since the model is very new, it's still rare in the used market.
Which version to choose
The choice largely depends on the engine: the TX 350 with a turbo petrol engine is simpler and more affordable, the TX 500h is a dynamic hybrid, and the TX 550h+ is a plug-in hybrid that can run on electric power for short distances.
It's also worth considering the seating arrangement: 7 seats with a bench in the second row or 6 seats with separate 'captain's chairs'.
Engines and transmissions
The TX 350 has a 2.4-litre turbo petrol engine (around 275 hp) with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The TX 500h features a 2.4-litre turbo hybrid (around 366 hp) with a 6-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.
The TX 550h+ is a plug-in hybrid with a 3.5-litre V6 engine (around 404 hp system power). Exact figures vary by market, so always check the specific car's specifications.
What to check when buying a used TX
Since the car is new, the most important thing is to check the remaining manufacturer's warranty and whether it is valid in Lithuania. Warranty for cars from the US market may not apply in Europe.
Check the condition of the plug-in hybrid battery and charging cables separately. Request the full service history and check that all manufacturer recall campaigns have been completed.
Check all electronic functions, especially the multimedia system and driver assistance features, as well as the body condition and paintwork.
