Lexus has finally created a luxurious and useful three-row family SUV that isn’t based on a truck platform. The result is just what we hoped for.
, it used to be the larger the SUV, the truckier it drove and the less useful its interior. Beyond the midsize, car-based RX crossover,you'd be forgiven for first learning about here. The RX L's utility as a three-row was equivalent to someone donning a baby carrier, sticking their kid in it, and deeming themself a two-row SUV.
Each powertrain lends the 2024 Lexus TX a unique flavor, with the TX350's tasting the most conventional. The TX500h's F Sport Performance branding lands it on the sporty end of Lexus' tuning spectrum, with 22-inch low-profile tires, firmed-up electronically variable dampers, rear-wheel steering, and better-bolstered front seats.
Regardless of where the power comes from, it's blended like a smoothie in Toyota's tried-and-true planetary transmission, which works like a differential, taking inputs from the gas V-6, a starter-generator, and a drive motor and combining them any which way. The third motor on the rear axle kicks in during low-traction situations and under full throttle for maximum output.
Unusually for a three-row in this class, there's decent cargo space even with the third-row seats raised—20.2 cubic feet, and Lexus claims seven carry-on roller suitcases can fit—and folding the third row expands that to 57.4 cubic feet. Fold the second-row seats, too, and you get a massive 97 cubic feet of space. These are, whose cargo numbers are 14.5 cubic feet with the third row up, 41.6 with it lowered, and 75.4 with both rear rows flattened; those figures in the MDX are 16.3/39.1/71.
