The Lexus TX has rapidly become one of the brand’s most important models, now ranking as the company’s third best-selling vehicle. Its popularity stems from a well-balanced blend of spaciousness, comfort, and premium features that resonate with modern buyers looking for both practicality and refinement. Moving into its third model year, Lexus has given the TX only a light refresh, with a few updates that may not be immediately obvious but still enhance the lineup. One of the most noticeable exterior changes is the introduction of a new Matador Red Mica color option, available on trims outside of the F Sport range. At the upper end of the lineup, the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid now gains a panoramic glass roof, adding a sense of luxury and openness to the cabin experience.
Although the changes are minimal, pricing adjustments accompany the update. The entry-level TX 350 now starts at $57,090, representing a $500 increase over last year’s figure of $56,590. The TX 500h hybrid also climbs by $500, bringing its base price to $70,610. Meanwhile, the most premium TX 550h+ receives the largest price jump, rising $2,300 to a starting figure of $80,960, a difference likely justified by the addition of the glass roof.
The base TX 350 continues to offer a strong package of features that will appeal to most families. Standard equipment includes LED headlamps, a power liftgate, and 20-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the SUV provides seating for seven, along with a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Wireless compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay ensures seamless smartphone connectivity. Comfort is further enhanced with heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, ambient lighting, and a wireless phone charger. A 12-speaker premium audio system rounds out the key interior highlights, ensuring entertainment matches the SUV’s premium feel.
In terms of safety, Lexus equips the TX with its advanced Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite. This includes modern driver assistance technologies such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Lane Tracing Assist. Additionally, Road Sign Assist, Proactive Driving Assist, a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, and a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert all come standard, giving drivers added peace of mind.
The 2026 Lexus TX family remains broad, offering seven distinct trims and three different powertrain choices. The lineup begins with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder producing 275 horsepower and 429 Nm of torque. Stepping up, the TX 500h features a hybrid setup pairing the same turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, a rear-mounted eAxle, and a nickel-metal hydride battery. Together, these components generate a total of 366 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, providing confident performance with standard all-wheel drive. At the top, the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid combines a 3.5-liter V6 engine with two electric motors and an 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery. This system delivers an impressive 404 horsepower and allows for an estimated electric-only driving range of up to 53 kilometers, offering both power and efficiency in a premium package.
