I just saw the Lexus TX for the first time and it’s amazing! The size is unique and it boasts 22-inch wheels, as well as LED lighting. The interior is spacious and has a 14-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It also has a 3.5L V6 engine paired with an electric motor.
The 2024 TX SUV shares its platform with the Toyota Grand Highlander and is replacing the previous-generation RX-L three-row SUV in the Lexus lineup. The RX-L was never particularly roomy in the rear seat, but the TX should offer plenty of space for adults to settle in back there.
There will be 3 powertrains on offer. The base will be a 2.4L turbo 4 making 275HP and 317 lb-ft of torque. Then the TX500h F Sport Performance powertrain makes 366HP and 409 lb-ft of torque from a turbo 4 cylinder. The 500h also gets a rear steering system and a Direct-4 e-AWD. Then comes the TX550h+ using a 3.5L V6, a CVT, and a battery pack to make 406HP and 33miles of EV range.
The inside is very clean. And that’s the point of the TX, it’s a utilitarian SUV, not an off-roader or sporty SUV. Here we get a 12.3 in cluster system, a 14in infotainment, OTA updates, WiFi hotspot and a host of safety systems. The model will be offered in Standard, Premium, Luxury and F Sport Performance trims. Also on offer is Lexus’s massive safety suite with a host of tech features.
In Nigeria, The 2024 Lexus TX 500H starts at ₦70 million or ₦73 million for the F Sport Performance Luxury. The 500H+ PHEV still doesn’t have pricing but it could go in the high ₦75-80 million range in higher trims.
