The 2024 Lexus TX 350 Premium AWD Is A Grander Highlander For Big Families Looking For Space

  • Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
  • After decades of not having a proper 3-row family SUV in its lineup, the 2024 #LexusTX arrives on the scene in time to do battle with all the newest midsize luxury SUV's. Borrowing heavily from the supersized Grand Highlander, the #LexusTX350 represents the base engine in the lineup. Consisting of the same 2.4L Turbo engine from the #GrandHighlander. The #TX350Premium looks to be the sweet spot in the trim structure and with plenty of space for 7 adults and all their stuff, this new #TX350 is exactly the car that Lexus needs to compete in this space.

    Sofyan, I must tell you how much I appreciate your professionalism . In all your reviews you present a clean car ,whenever possible, and shoot your video against a beautiful background . Even if you shoot in a parking lot , it’s a parking lot surrounded by trees etc . You are dressed well and even if it’s summer and you are wearing shorts you look like you care . I know it’s not easy to do and the information you present is not just the info from a press kit. You have a cadence to your delivery that’s almost ASMR . You are By far my favorite car reviewer . As always another excellent job here .

    I recently saw the new Lexus TX in person and unfortunately it did not make a great first impression on me visually. While not ugly, the exterior styling seemed a bit odd and lacked the refined elegance I expect from a "luxury" SUV. Compared to segment leaders like the Volvo XC90, Genesis GV80, and BMW X5, the TX's design falls short in my opinion. It does not have the premium presence and prestige that sets apart true luxury vehicles. Even the Infiniti QX60 looks better in comparison. Simply put, I did not find the TX to look very luxurious. Of course, aesthetics are subjective. But in my view, Lexus needs to refine the TX's design in future model years to give it the wow factor that buyers expect in this class.

      They do have an available trim with the 3.5L V6; however, that’s only on 550h+ luxury trim. Due to highest weight out of all trims (especially due to the plug-in hybrid system), you do loose glass roof and rear-wheel steering to lower weight and cost a little bit. It’s also very pricey too which is close to $80k.

    I live the fact that is has a usable 3-row, although still not up to the class leader Grand Wagoneer. However this edition of the Lexus is closer to near luxury of an Acura or Mazda rather than a typical Lexus.
    The seats are just OK, but there are far better from Genesis. To its credit it does have the premium radio even at this level. The engine is buzzy when revved but seem quiet enough when cruising. I prefer the captain's chairs since it treats 2nd-row adults more respectfully, despite the fact that you lose a seat.

      However, what is surprising is that the grand wagoneer non L version actually has slightly less total cargo space with all the seats down compared to the TX. 97 cubic feet for the TX vs around 94 cubic feet in the GW. That is very surprising especially when the wagoneer is half a foot taller and wider along with being a foot longer in length compared to the lexus TX.

    $63k and you still get fake leather? Ridiculous. Should be Nappa leather

    60k for a base model with a 4cyl engine? thanks but no thanks! i just saw one in person awhile ago.. honestly, it looks like a van to me. Nothing so special. i’ would get GX550 instead.
