The 2024 Lexus TX 500h F-Sport Is The Ultimate 3-Row Hybrid SUV Family Hauler
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- The #Lexus brand hasn't always gotten the 3-row family SUV formula right. While the brand has always had the Lexus GX and LX in the fleet, the new 2024 #LexusTX500h is a real first effort into delivering a luxurious SUV with actual space for full-size adults. The #TX500hFSportPerformance is the powertrain that should deliver the best blend of power and efficiency and currently in its segment, the #TX500h is the only conventional #Hybrid in its class. Just remember that the #LexusTX does share a lot with the new #GrandHighlander and while we do wish Lexus made a few more upgrades to make this SUV feel more upscale, it finally has the interior space and cargo room that American families are looking for.

Toyota / Lexus are smart for keeping a hybrid option unlike other manufacturers who just churn out an ev
May the fourth be with you.... And may the TX hybrids get 7 seats
I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger 😂
I find your lack of faith disturbing
My 2005 Sequoia has 7 seats lol
And with your Spirit, Kirk! LOL see you on your channel!
Yo kirk love your family videos
Great job Sofyan & I thinking of buying this
Just bought one April 12, loving every second in it!
How’s your gas mileage on it? Being a performance hybrid I wouldn’t expect it to be GH Hybrid good but some of forums complain about not getting the advertised 27mpg
@@Unkn0wnAzn i get 24.5 mpg. I think the number will go up as time went on. I'll keep u posted. For me its not the mpg thats matter much, its the engine longevity since i have a short commute to work (5miles)
I have about 10k miles on mine, same spec as vid, and I’m getting about 23mpg

wait till he sees this comment. I like how he totally ignores the countless issues with the hyundai gdi engines.
@@ajf5745I don’t agree with what naveen is doing, but Hyundai is great now.
Pretty sure he would even say that Infiniti is better or a Stolen Sonata is better than an Avalon
I want to like it, but the interior is a complete let down (especially coming from the company producing the LC). Sad when the Palisade Caligraphy looks better inside than a $20k more expensive Lexus.
I knew the tx would be dead on arrival when it came out.
Just picked up out today and absolutely love it. A nice upgrade from our 18 Highlander. We chose it over the 550h+ because of the rws, adaptive dampers and moon roof. The seats are nice for our smaller frames too. I can’t believe that guys lose those options with the 550 and gain a cvt. That was the deal breaker
I have the RX500h.. one of the best cars I have owned..
550 had a CVT. I knew the reason why they put a CVT with that powertrain setup but at that price range? A big freaking no no.
10k miles on mine, same spec as in the vid. I love it. The rear wheel steering is awesome in parking lots and in slow-tight maneuvering. I am not sure I notice it at high speed, but it seems to handle great.
Payments of 1500 a months probably
@@TRIBSSTUDIOS for who?
Well done
Finally, a new Hybrid that has the same performance specs as my 10year old Hybrid. Took long enough to finally catch up with 2014 technology. Maybe in 10 more years we'll see technology from 2024.
Ikr. Turbo Lexus hybrids are too little too late. Everyone else has been doing them reliably
Really tame looking front grill for the money
You can customizace the steering wheel with the driving mode selection.
80k should be fully loaded including message seats
Is bench seats an option with F sport?
Nice 😊
Solid sounding door thunk. Is that really a thing people need reviewed.
Yes
This trim looks better in the deep blue.
This makes MDX type S a better deal with V6, air suspension, 10 speed transmission, and massage seat. Even grand highlander is a better deal
A telluride is better than a GH
Yeah absolutely NOT 😅 I test drove all and the mdx is trash. Small space weird looking interior tech and horrible resale value. If your looking for a good deal then go by a 10 year old highlander. If you're looking for quality the TX. Lemme know when you actually sit in a 3rd row TX to talk
@@patrickrk44 I did sit in the third row. It didn’t fell better than a telluride or palisade but the palisade has heated 3rd row seats
This looks and feels like an extremely watered down Lexus product that is closer to being a Toyota than it is to being a Lexus.
Have you felt it tho?
It was a Toyota first then they decided to make it into a kexysb
nice car
Can something that only seats six be called the ultimate family hauler? I can't even count how often, as a parent of three, that more than six seats have come in handy. They really need a second row bench option in this trim.
Nice vehicle! It's reputation can only pull off this type of power train. So we're see if this can withstand the test of time like it's predecessors with the v6 and v8 counter parts. 🤔😎👍
please add the km and litres per 100 for non us residence
This is an 8 passenger SUV segment and it only has 6 seats? So basically it’s not for people who want more seats
Basically if u want 8 seats, u either have to get the toyota version, or get a body on frame full size suv like an escalade
Or a minivan 🚐 lol
@@normanli7085false. You can get the tx 350.
Lexus Texas
A Lexus Texas premier
$80k for a 4 cylinder 😮
If you removed the Lexus badge from the steering wheel and asked people to guess the make of this vehicle, I am doubtful that they would guess Lexus. Chevy, Buick, VW, Toyota perhaps. 78K just BEGS for better interior appointments. And a 2.4 Turbo?? I am on my fourth RX with a V6, and nice interiors with small amounts of wood. I can't go forward for a fifth.
‘22 still has the v6 and is relatively new
@@chibbyylol That’s what I have.. Instant acceleration and great sound from the engine.
And? Not all cars are made for everyone. Some might like, some might not. Good thing about having choices
If only the base powertrain for the TX was the previous Gen RX 450h v6 hybrid. That would have been a much better setup. And over 300 horsepower too.
I had the last gen... this new RX is better, its got instant torque, that 406 ft/lbs is way better than the V6.. You hardly notice its a 4cyl when driving... I love my new RX its very smooth and quiet, and I can pass 2 cars super fast... someone did a review and said from 40 mph to 60 mph it was as quick as a golf R.. The mark levinson will blow your ear drums also, it cranks... I think its one of the best cars I have owned, and this being said after coming from my last 2 cars being E class mercedes ... drive one, and you will like it.
Feels like all the R&D budget went to the GX, and no massaging seats??
Not enough leather on the dash and doors for this price!
Does the moonroof open?
Which one would you pick: the TX 500 or the MDX Type R?
MDX type S by far
TX has larger cargo and tows more if that’s important to you
I'm buying an suv for space so the better gas mileage also I would go for the lexus. If I had a family of 4 I would get the acura. Using it as an Uber I'd definitely go for the TX. IT will make you money in the bank easily.
@@occckid123 why wouldn’t you get a telluride or palisade? Even the new traverse and enclave are far better
TX for sure, i owned the Audi Q7, which has the same dimension and cargo space as the MDX, its cramped. Thats all i gotta say, plus i dont want to fold the seats to get to the 3rd row
Wasn’t there supposed to be to be a V6 one?
The price increase from choosing the gasoline-only option to upgrading to a hybrid seems excessive, approximately $10,000. Unless you strongly prioritize the smoothness at low speeds, this cost doesn’t seem justified by the benefits of the hybrid system. For typical annual driving distances of 10,000-12,000 miles, a premium of around $3,000 would be more reasonable.
Imagine driving 100k miles a year though? The saving a is astronomical. The v6 hybrid may outlast the turbo also. Possibly...
The hybrid Max should be the base engine at this price. A 2.4L 4 banger is not appropriate for a car this size.
@cultofmodernism8477 honesty, if the TX has the 3.5 V6 as the plug-in hybrid powertrain, they should have used the previous gen RX 450h as the base instead of a turbo 4 without hybrid. That would better justify getting a TX over a GH
@@cultofmodernism8477 it does just fine. Have you driven one?
@ranmas2004 I owned the 2022 NX and it was barely, and I mean barely, adequate for that platform.
I think it was a mistake for them to try and make this a sporty trim.
They could have spent that extra money on an interior that actually feels luxurious and put the panoramic roof as baseline instead of only in the luxury editions.
Lastly, I think they should have put the hybrid engine in the tx 350 as baseline. Who wants 15k cheaper grand highlander beating them off the line?
Or yet, even the previous gen RX 450h v6 hybrid as well. You get good fuel economy, over 300 horsepower, and you still have the buttery smooth powertrain too
Agreed on all points. If Lexus already scrimped with the exterior changes, they should have really spiffed up the interior. The 350h with standard eAWD should also have been the base trim.
My wife was all in on this car as our next car. I just spent the last week convincing her to by the Toyota Grand Highlander instead saying that it's the same car with the better drive train (for the same price).
@joshuaychung I wouldn't say it's the same car, but it's close. The drive train is definitely better for the price, though
The premium fuel kills it for me as well as the interior. Not luxury enough over the grand highlander.
Might not be the flashiest in it's class, but you can definitely count on its reliability and quality!
Right… 😂
The mythical instant reliability and the second you add a Lexus logo to anything then it’s suddenly high quality…?😂
That’s just not how anything works. Thats like saying a rav4 LE filled with hard plastics everywhere is better quality than a cx5 or gv70
My big question: this or Acura MDX Type S?
Let me rephrase your question
Do you want a gussied up Camry on stilts with 3 rows which describes the TX, or do you want a real luxury suv with real luxury car underpinnings, design, luxury, and features, which describes the Acura?
I think you’d want the Acura
The continuous push by Toyota/Lexus to constantly feature the TX in reviews shows it's not really selling well as anticipated.
Because people are starting to acknowledge that the biggest Toyota hater (me) was right all along when he said the Tx was dead on arrival. The worst 3 row suv you can buy
isn't bmw x7 getting the same mpgs with an inline 6 without the complicated hybrid system?
Thanks for this review. If you could, PLEASE show what Android Auto looks like in vehicles. All the other car reviewers ALWAYS show only Apple Car Play.....but there are probably more Android phones than Apple phones out there. Only once did I see a review that showed Android Auto....but only very briefly.
I also agree with your description of the interior - it doesn't look too "Lexus-like" on video. It actually looks cheap even though it's high-quality. And wood accents would go a long way to warm up the interior and make it less sterile. I love my 2011 RX 450h and wonder when my batteries will need to be replaced. At that point, I'll want to purchase another Lexus....but only if Lexus puts massaging seats into their cars.
too similar to the grand highlander for my liking
*These* front and rear overhangs are ungainly
That color is so creamy 🍨😍
Lexus ❤❤
I love the look but for so much less I would take a grand highlander PHEV. I have 4 kids, and I’m not ever trying to get the jump off the line. Good fuel economy while sitting in the car line would be amazing. Oh and awesome audio for the few mins of the day I don’t have my kids in the car. Can parents just listen to 90’s music for just a second. It’s our odd pleasure after drop off while going to the grocery store with out kids.
The gave you a Toyota jacket too.
They missed the mark with the MPG. Turbo = faster engine death. On top of everything you have to use premium gas which eliminates all cost savings from a hybrid. That’s a “NO” from me dawg.
This car seems like one of the most halfhearted automotive rebadges ever. Toyota just didn’t differentiate this enough from the Grand Highlander imo. I’d say it’s probably best bought at a lower trim, so it’s somewhat close to GH price. At 70k though, that’s a lot for a gussied-up Toyota.
What I'd love to see is a Lexus minivan. Far more cargo space and a much bigger third row than this in a similarly sized package.
I hate the skinny wheels I got inside a new TX 550 and it was kind of tight the second row wasn’t as spacious as I thought it would be in person. Last but not least the interior felt cheap and plastic every where soft touch plastic isn’t luxury. For a Lexus it’s a miss and the new GX is even cheaper feeling and smaller inside smh .
Big mistake for removing wood trim. That’s what made Lexus a Lexus.
I'd rather have the not much different Grand Highlander hybrids :)
Grand Hilanders are full if cheap and creaky plastics. Door shut sounds like a tin can. No thanks
I’d rather have a telluride palisade cx90
Well, the grill needs some work, but F-Sport grill is bit better than other variants.
Latest Lexus GX grill is the best looking in their SUV lineup ! May be they should use that in TX as well. Color options are limited. Overall above average !
Front grill looks inspired by the Cylons of Battlestar Galactica fame.
😂
Sofyan… who cares about the tailpipes? It’s a 4 cylinder hybrid. Twin tail pipes would be over-reaching. Lol
Tx base model is a gas killer, got mine in November, the most i got is 15 miles per gallon
Lexus built an ideal luxury family hauler that’s refined with low cabin noise.
Lexus dealers sell that same car at unbelievable prices with the mrsp
That does not look like a LED rear turn signal
Luxury sienna
It may look like a Grand Highlander for obvious reasons, but at least it doesn't look like a giant Toyota Rav4.
I love Sofyan and Redline. The reviews are always so thorough and high quality. However. Do we really need to spend SO much time testing the 0-60 time in every single car? Seems like he really just loves playing with his timer. I’m pretty sure that most people that are interested in buying these cars don’t care too much about the exact second 0-60, yet he had to test it 3 times just to be sure.
Solid effort, but not a fan of the price. I'd just go for an mdx or cx-90.
This isn’t a solid effort. I’d say the tx is subpar. Probably the worst 3 row crossover in this segment
@@naveenthemachine Saying it's the worst would implied there's an issue besides the price and lack of wood. Lol
Silimar power output as competition
Better mpgs
A ton of room
.
My only issue is the prices and lack of features. I'm not gonna skip an overall nice SUV like this for the ladder alone.
@@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT wrong on the power. The power output is overrated. I think it makes less power than Lexus is claiming. An MDX type s has less power than the tx500h but it’s significantly faster. A ford explorer is significantly faster than any tx. A Lincoln aviator that’s not a performance suv is faster than the tx500h f sport performance
Who cares about fuel efficiency at this point? Do you see people in v8 durangos whining about mpg as if it even matters? No
It has a lot of room but so does a kia telluride Hyundai palisade Chevy traverse Buick enclave etc
The MDX has a more upscaled look, until you drive it and its not as refined, the MDX is not as smooth or as quiet..... I compared it to the RX when I bought my RX500h.. also the new Infiniti Q60 - as LOT more road noise and wind noise, hits bumps harder... When I drove the RX again the same day it was apparent which was the better vehicle... its Also more money............ It was no contest especially with the Infiniti, it really disappointed me as I was considering buying one... I looked at one of these TX at Lexus recently.. Too big for me, I dont need that size anymore as my kids are grown up, the RX for me is perfect, nimble, quick, smallish size even though Im 6'5" tall, it works great for me.. There is an issue with the fuel tank size, you run out of fuel and it says zero KM remaining, so you fill up, here in Canada its a 65 litre tank (17.1 gallons US) and you only get 45 litres before it clicks off... I dont understand this 20 litre discrepancy.. Overall the TX and RX are very similar, the seats are great, super comfy and sporty as well.. I love my RX and anyone buying the TX will love it as well Im sure..
"One of the best systems in the business" scrolls left & right with massive stutter lol state of youtube reviews these days.
When I become president, I'm going to orchestrate legislation to limit wheel size for large vehicles to 20 in, 19 in for sedans. All new cars will need to be equipped with spare tires. Conventional tires must be available on all models. Run flats optional. Features such as screen controlled entertainment/climate control systems, sun roofs, dubious "safety" features such as lane change assist, auto braking, etc., will be offered with a customer delete option, with the amount deleted from the out the door price calculated using the Porsche markup formula for their ala carte options.
Wonder if Lexus will build a overtrail trim for the TX

Agreed. The Tx is DOA when put up against any other 3 row
I prefer the X7
Star Cars
I really don’t get it Lexus. Why the swoosh is upside down on TX 😂. Personally I would thinking the car would looks 10 times better if it’s not.
Leather that's directly exposed to the sun doesn't last nearly as long as injection molded plastic. So depending on how long you're keeping the vehicle, you'll have to deal with buckling and bubbling. Lexus knows from experience what lasts and what doesn't, which is why they are tops in reliability. They've got it right with no leather on the top of the dashboard and the tops of the doors.
If you’re concerned about durability you don’t buy a luxury car LOL
Lexus is losing its grip as a luxury brand fast !!
Gee you only now figured that out LOL?
80k for a car ?
We test drove several Grand Hilanders, all the way up to Platinum. Not impressed whatsoever. We had come from testing X5 and X7, the Grand Hilanders just felt cheap by comparison, plus horrible driving dynamics. The leather (which I assume faux) felt like a plastic wrap over styrofoam. Other Toyotas are way nicer, hopefully the Lexus is as well.
Which other Toyotas are nicer?
@@andersonrodriguez8258 4Runners, Land Cruisers (all models) and RAV4’s
you felt a grand highlander was cheap by comparison? Did you look at the price tags?? I looked at a X5 before buying a RX500h.. it was just too big for me, and the X3 wasnt big enough.. Felt a bit cramped, the RX I got was 84k canadian... the X5 was 115k... No comparison really ... the X5 was very nice, stiched leather seats, massage etc... I think it was quicker than the RX but the RX is quick enough... the TX im sure is slower than my RX as its larger... It comes down to price tag... Highlander to X5 and X7... Well totally different ballgame..
@@andersonrodriguez8258none of them 😆
Boring SUV Toyota Highlander. Lexus lost me on this design. The New Acura MDX looks way more appealing than the TX
Agreed. I predicted the tx would be dead on arrival. I’m so glad it turned out that way
Get the 550+ for 400HP
Great car but Lexus failed in utilizing the second row. Some of us prefer a bench seat in the second row instead of captain's chair and in the Hybrid trims. I want to put grandma, grandpa, uncle and my 2kids in the same SUV instead of putting 2cars on the road when they visit me🤷🏾♂️.. There's no difference in the current 5seater SUV to a 6 seater, it needs to be a 7-8seaters and that's where the beauty of bench seats in the second row comes in.. 🤦🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
I went to see this car at the dealership and tbh it doesn't look luxurious.. it just looks like a high trim Toyota. Other brands have way better interiors. What happened to Lexus? They are just relying on their name and perceived reliability to be mediocre... That center screen with that much plastic around it looks bad.. it should look much sharper and with thinner edges.. it's 2024 common Lexus.
Go buy another brand pal, and stop sniveling.

Hood seems unnecessary long. The grill is hideous and a step down from the last spindle grill. The interior could have been snazzier without adding cost. Al in all a low bs effort by Lexus and Toyota for this and the Grand Highlander. It just has the space to offer. Sad how costs have come up and quality / style / innovation down.
6 seats on a big ahh crossover ??? This ain't it chief 🤦🏽♂️
Not a crossover 😂
My god...lexus needs to get their stuff together. Their interior esp infotainment system looks so cheap. I own IS350 and Rx350 but theyve been milking same interior design for years and now they come with this cheap looking lcd screen with plastic everywhere. its sad when Kia makes better interior
Highlander in a dress!! This is why Lexus will nothing more than a premium brand.
Lexus isn’t even premium. Buick Hyundai kia Mazda Acura are far more premium than Lexus
Looks like a masked lexus, reminding the covid times 😷
No massaging seats, soft close doors, heads up display no go.

The Tx is a nice looking car, but just very mediocre for its price point. Everything is well made and put together, but from an interior standpoint it seems very underwhelming. A more upscale looking dashboard would have done wonders for this interior along with more leather colors.
The whole car is so underwhelming 😂

This car has a grand Highlander problem; the grand Highlander is too good and the TX isn’t that much better for the price difference.
I wouldn’t pay 20k over the grand Highlander. The interior is not 20k more expensive and you paying for the mostly the Lexus name. There any distinguishing features that separate it from the GH.
Lexus dropped the ball with this 1 this is very toyota not much to differentiate it from the toyota counterpart id take the mdx over this any day
80k plastic wrapped Toyota toolbox. Nope
70k for this … ok im out of here
Lexus has become overly reliant on their reliability to maintain market share. An important trait mind you, but that isn't all you're looking for in a luxury vehicle. This is a boring looking SUV, that is far too similar to the Grand Highlander. Nothing about it screams luxury other than the badging. When your comps are an MDX, a Q60, and the Germans, I expect some wow. There's no wow in this car at all. It is the epitome of meh and screams I just need a car that gets me to work and the kid's soccer match. Which is fine, but it isn't luxury.
I would probably get a X7 or GLS if I have enough money but TX is definitely the best value in the segment.
The American market was contrary to the Euro market, the one where a brand simply rebadged the same car over and over. International competition, lazy innovation and sub par quality made Ford, Chrysler and GM suffer where many US brands they owned are now gone.
Lexus knows they've reached market a position where in quality they are ahead of competition. However, we can now notice the brand has become more and more lazy. Body cladded Toyotas, with here and there halo car, and a longer option list is all they offer nowadays. It will dilute the brand sooner or later. They are opening up the market for fresh competition to come in. As a brand they are flatlining. RUclipsr clickbait cars
More like Lexus is becoming irrelevant every single day
Just buy the loaded GH. The interior is not much different, the MDX looks better
You can have your MDX 🤮
