When looking for a vehicle to buy, my biggest decision point is not what car to buy......but which Lexus to buy. In this day and age, no other carmaker has come close to Lexus in terms of refinement, quality, luxury, comfort, and longevity.
I actually really like the new styling in front. As someone who really dislikes SUVs and large vehicles, this has a great sharp design
Agree!
Totally agree.
I thought I was the only one who disliked SUVs. LOL! I have 5 people in my family and need to replace my minivan (which drives like a care) I can't find a decent sedan to fit 5 people without the hump in the middle of the back seat floor.
Terrific video of the all new Lexus TX!! Great job Drew and Mason!! Keep up the great work!!
You cannot believe how important the measuring tape is. Thanks for doing that. It saves me from driving down to local dealers with mine.
Glad to help!
We just bought a TX 350 premium and love it. Shopped the Honda Pilot, MDX and Grand Highlander. Cabin is more quite then all of them and the ride is fantastic! Room in the 3rd row nothing comes close either. The interior is all soft touch material and I have no complaints. Love the big info screen~
Amazing video guys.
I've already driven a grand highlander but keep hearing the TX rides even better. Can't wait to try it myself. Also looking forward to the new Traverse and Acadia. SUVs are on fire right now.
Excellent review as always!😸
Have a great weekend!
You two always deliver great practical reviews. The car community appreciates these vids.
Thank you! 😊
I test drove a premium trim model of this vehicle about a month ago, and I absolutely loved it. I was originally going to buy a Grand Highlander, but after test driving the TX and going to the Chicago Auto Show to sit in and interact with the Grand Highlander, my wife and I have decided to save up some extra money for the Lexus, but we're going to go for the TX 500h F-Sport, instead, because of the better suspension and gas mileage, and I don't need the moon roof, so we don't need the luxury trim of that one.
Yes I enjoy the service that gets from Lexus
Saw one on the road today in black, look nice
It’s very nice !! I like it
Great review brothers. I love anything Lexus. I bought one of the very first Lexus LS 400's ever sold in Illinois. It wasn't much of a looker, but oh my, the ride quality, power, and luxury interior for the times were above and beyond. At that time it far exceeded any Benz on the market imo. The Lexus pricing is way outta my range these days, otherwise I'd grab one of these in a NYC second. Cheers guys, have a great weekend
Thanks and you have great one as well!
3 Lexuses in my household. My 17 ES350, wife’s 24 NX350h and son’s 08 RX350. Just won’t buy anything else, maybe except a Porsche 911. 😊
Lexus ❤@This.
You should do a standard size suitcase test imo (checked luggage and carry-on). Cubic feet isn’t that relatable; people don’t think in those terms imo.
Yes its def one of the best!
I test drove the 350 Luxury and really liked it. I thought the 4 cylinder had a lot of power but I do agree it was a bit harsh sounding and loud at times for a luxury vehicle. I liked all of the technology but I could see it being very distracting with the amount of menu screens available to cycle through. Not sure if there is enough here to justify the price increase over the Grand Highlander Hybrid Max though.
I order my TX350 today! I hope the Mark Levinson sound system can cover up the engine noise😂😂😂
It sure does!
@@StelaRay509 Does it sound really good?
I had Mark Levinson in an RC350F Sport and it was 100 percent amazing. You will not be disappointed!
@@SQUID_2259 I see. I read some reviews specifically for the TX that the ML is not really worth the upgrade.
Just bought one, luxury trim. I feel the steering wheel quite stiff compared to my RX450H. Did you feel the same way?
The front end of this TX really reminds me of the previous generation Highlander
Kinda yeah but the TX is more elegant.
Bench seat in 2024 Lexus tx 550 hybrid models is missing which is weak point
Lexus must consider this
You really got a point.
Also the inability to even spec a pano roof. Absolutely unacceptable. I'd just wait a few years when they ultimately include these.
Lexus says that if there is enough demand for it, they will make it. Probably if enough people want bench seats it may come in the 2025 model, just me speculating tho
I just bought the luxury trim. I feel the stirring wheel is quite stiff compared to my RX450H. Your thoughts about it's stirring?
The luxury Grand Highlander!
Local Lexus dealer was stocked to the hilt yesterday. Had six TX models. Four LX600.
Only thing I didn’t see was the gx550 and LC models.
@carconfections. another great review.. what do you guys driver for a persona car? Acura?
Thanks! Our long term testers are a 2023 BMW 330e and 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
Hi, What is the total length of this TX? I wanted to know because of the limited space i have in my parking
Is there an amp in this cruiser ?? Highlander has I believe a 1200 W with 12 inch sub
How was the Mark Levinson audio system? I’ve read a lot about it and most are negative comments with sound being tinny and lacking in bass.
There’s no replacement for displacement. My 2021 low mileage GX will outlive me and I don’t believe the same can be said for any 4 cyl turbo engine. I think LEXUS will have to dramatically increase the Powertrain Warranty to a minimum of 100k miles.
I am trying to understand how this car compares to toyota sequoia. This car interior looks better and third row is one less people but more comfortable. So other than having a bigger engine does sequioa has any advantage over lexus tx 350 premium?
Yes of course & planned on buying one soon.
I will like a different comparison between this and grand highlander. Thanks
Awesome video! How about the new ZDX or Tesla Model Y review possibly at some point??
ZDX not a Honda
@@ricric8348true its a gm which is stupid.
Thanks! We are keeping an eye out for these models if we get the opportunity to review them!
@@CarConfections also can you do a long term 550h+ review at some point?
They reviewed tesla model y already
Yes
How does this TX and the Grand Highlander compare to the Palisade Calligraphy?🙏
Palisade destroys both
Why this mid size suv cost the same as Escalade ?
The Lexus TX and the Toyota Grand Highlander can fit a full-size adult in the third row of those two vehicles and it has the best third row!
The TX is longer with more room in the 3rd row...
do you notice any rattling on the central console? drove the '24 RX and its central console was rattling, i believe due to the plastic.
We did not notice any rattles on this example
I feel that Lexus was stuck on this vehicle. I think they had to make it less luxurious because it could take away LX and GX sales. I drove this model and found wind noise above 60mph. Sounded like the windows were open but they were not. Also the engine is ok but the sound from that engine is horrible at this price point. Also I found it hard to tell the difference between base model interior and executive. This should not be the case. Also I find the seats short and you need the top package to get that. Also the top fsport version has no thigh extender. Just get the platinum max grand highlander. Still cheaper than the Tx base model and comes with the same engine offered on the tx500 fsport. It also uses regular fuel and the portobello interior colour is better than the dark options (only peppercorn and black offered on non fsport trims in Canada). Furthermore, the gh uses regular fuel and is over 20000 less than the starting price for a similarly equipped tx500 in Canada. Couple this with lower maintenance costs at Toyota( about 30 to 40 percent cheaper in Canada compared to Lexus) and it is a no brainer. The TX is truly not worthy of the Lexus badge. I have a gx460 and gs350 and I am not happy with the TX unless you are driving in a straight line and coasting without touching the gas pedal.
TX has rising lift up down?
Hey it didn't fall apart like that brand new Hyundai you bought 😂😂
Toyota/Lexus: Please bring back the V6 to the RX and Highlander!
I just like the outlook, but from functionality and practicality Honda Pilot much better. My opinion also depends on price comparing those prices.
Can you control read climate from front dash?
Yes!
I bet allot of people from Texas gonna love the TX lol
Does a top trim true 8 seater with 2nd row bench exist in this world?
Interestimg that the 3rd brake light is so much smaller than on the gh
Also I walked past a new Toyota and Lexus Suv....sooooo niceeee😩😩😩😩😩.lol
can you bring back first person view
20 MPG in the city and it requires premium gasoline.
It’s not for broke people like you
My NA V6 gives out the same. More money for a V4. Lol at Lexus.
@@jacknjill802 its not a "V4" lol
@@ranmas2004 Semantics. yea, whatever.
is it based off the grand highlander?
Yes
Excellent video…❤… I just wish it had either a V8 or a V6 naturally aspirated engine… This vehicle would’ve been perfect for my four German shepherds, but I am not a four-cylinder guy and I sure don’t like turbo charging hopefully in the future they’ll make a naturally aspirated, V8, or V6 engine for this vehicle I will say the eight speed transmission is beautiful. I have that in my 2021 LX 570 and the speed is great in the 2023 GX 460. I know they’re having recalls on the 10 speed transmission in TOYOTA and Lexus there’s like a little less than 300,000 recalls so I’m staying away from that 10 speed automatic transmission am my opinion I just think it’s too many gears. Anyway, you guys do great videos I really appreciate it. I just wish you had a different powerplant.❤
Thanks!
I love the tx, but do not like the wobbly cupholders!!!!
I don't get the obsession with captains chairs on giant vehicles. Four places in the first two rows and six total isn't impressive for a 200+ inch long family hauler. Wish they'd let you have a bench on all trims.
They want $25000 down on a lease around $575 a month here in NJ !!!!!!! They not letting them go for cheap and they adding a premium price to each truck that gets sold because “ not too many of them available “ Lexus made me go back to VW and grab that Atlas SEL R Premium on all black and it’s ok
I got mine at msrp no hassle whatsoever
Hey bros, what is the future of cars in your opinon.
There will be more cars
@@SkyReaper😂
It looks so much like a grand highlander and the smaller engine is not as refined and smooth as the outgoing V6. I will wait for the redesign and will consider the T550h. Wait a few years then I will consider it as a family vehicle. The ‘23 GX 460 Luxury with a smooth V8 I bought last year is perfect for now.
I picked old style GX over theTX , GX still feels more luxury quality product to me than TX .
Why would i pay this much for half thebcar of the older gx
Why is every manufacturer ditching normally aspirated engines in favor of turbo? Is the extra torque and slightly better fuel economy really worth the risk, i.e. higher likelihood of mechanical issues? I am especially wondering why Toyota is ditching its V6 and V8 engines that are legendary for their reliability, smoothness, and refinement, in favor of noisier turbo-4's whose long-term reliability is unknown.
Fuel economy and I believe another big thing are government regulations that penalize gas consumption. It should be worth nothing though, that I believe the way the turbos are being implemented on these engines is different. They have probably engineered and designed the function of turbos to be optimal given the context of which they're being used, as opposed to sport performance. If that's the case I feel like they should name the use of turbos something differently, if it's for efficiency rather than performance
Thanks for the info. If they are being implemented for efficiency and not sport, does this mean the pressures will be less and the engines will last just as long as normally aspirated ones?, @@HiiImChris
I like the size of the Lexus TX and the engine/drive of the Acura MDX. Which one do I buy?!?! 😢😭
Wait for the 2025 MDX at this point.
@Josh-xo6iy but the 2025 MDX isn't getting any bigger. It's a tech upgrade and some designs. Right?
@@cupofjoe2988 Yup not sure which one you’re model you’re looking at but a bit of a redesign and interior changes. Not a full refresh.
@@Josh-xo6iy I didn't know that!!! I thought it was literally a refresh of the grill and a change to a touch screen!! I'm waiting till they show up for sure! Thank you!!!
Mdx is more fun for sure
Oh, the 2024 Lexus TX 350! That sounds like an exciting car model. Lexus is known for its luxury and style, and the TX 350 is no exception. With its sleek design and advanced features, it's definitely a vehicle that catches the eye. Whether you're looking for a smooth ride or top-notch performance, the TX 350 seems like a great choice. Enjoy the journey in style! 🚗💨
Exciting!? Top notch performance!? Sleek design? Advanced features!?
With all due respect to you, 😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆
The TX is literally none of those things 😂
@@naveenthemachine I agree the TX isn't a performance vehicle but it's good for families who want luxury, comfort, and space
The new TX is a fantastic vehicle but if I didn't need the space I'd still pick a MDX over it bc of the driving dynamics
@@CarGeek360 luxury comfort space also describes a Kia telluride sx prestige or Hyundai palisade calligraphy. Both give you all those things at a lower cost. The luxury badge doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t even get that
@@naveenthemachine the Pallisade and Telluride are lower quality products than the TX and they will (typcially) be a lot more troublesome than a TX, people typically buy Acuras and Lexuses over the competition for reliability
The ugly front grill and lack of a V6 for such a big car (unless you upgrade to the 550H+ which only seats 6 and does not come with a panoramic sunroof) are real huge misses for me.
What’s happening with Lexus these days? I have nothing against this, but I look at this, especially on the interior, and I’m just not in love with it. I’m taken back to the days when I owned a 2007 RX 350 that was draped in rich leather, deep, thick wood all over the cabin, and it was the epitome of warmth and coziness. Do buyers not like that sort of thing anymore? This looks like every other drab, dank, boring car built after 2018 at premium price.
It’s Lexus. What did you expect? They’re becoming the worst luxury brand in the industry at the moment. They make it so easy to choose the competition
@@naveenthemachineno dispute.
I love this truck and it looks better and has more room than most luxury vehicles in the same price range.
@@DacMan-lq9up but not more room than a telluride palisade traverse Acadia enclave Wagoneer tahoe etc
@@naveenthemachineyeah something like a fully loaded Traverse is hard to pass up
5'8 driver and 5'9 in back seat has room. What about 6'2 in front and 6'0 in back?
no massage front seats? I guess for the price its ok but lexus misses the mark on some things that the Germans get right. Yes, Lexus should last forever but lets get some massage front seats and heated and cooled cup holders (BMW X7) good job guys
Doesn't the X7 cost more? And you can't have heated and cooled cupholders if the cupholders are removable.
We went to Mazda for maintenance of our Mazda CX-5 twin turbo. We road tested CX-90 inline 3.3L V6 made in Japan.
We owning Toyota from 1985-2000 Camry, Cressida, Tundra and Highlander. Tundra T3 Special Edition. Toyota- Lexus GX recently(cheap made material).
We are leaving our loyalty Toyota for now for outdated interiors, poor quality-materials.
Mazda is small company with quality made and inline twin turbo with 8 speeds trans.
Materials are surprisingly cheap. Just get the grand highlander. Wish they had a real V6 too.
55 decibels is definitely on the higher side for the segment.
Music is too loud
Looks like 2019 highlander
Soooo what’s up the Santa Fe??
Find out this afternoon!
@@CarConfections lol ok
Lexus needs to start using more wood in their interiors....they are starting to look cold/cheap.
My wife loves the more modern look of her new NX350h compares her old 08 RX350 and my ES350.
For 73k I expect the finest bubinga wood and eider down.
The leather on the drivers seats is already worn, and I know the car isn’t a year old 😢
it is dirty inside of headlight
That's a Grand Highlander.
watch this at 1.75X speed
Looks like an updated Toyota Gran Highlander from the same manufacture no thanks
Answer is easy: No, the best 3-Row SUV is the TX 500h PHEV
Pretty sure I can pay A LOT LESS and get EVERYTHING this offers, with a Hyundai Palisade. And with the money I save, I can get me a motorcycle
Reading so many of these comments and I am confused about the hate for a 4 cylinder turbo and their complete ignorance regarding the average Lexus buyer and someone who wants more performance.
Personally speaking I would never buy the 350 variant as I prefer way more pep, however the average Lexus owner does not care about 0-60 times. I leased the 2022 RX450h about 2 years ago as I wanted the V6 paired with a hybrid but after test driving the RX and TX 500h variants I'm starting to get super antsy about my current lease ending. The 500h turbo 4 set up with the hybrid motors put most V6 turbos to shame with its torque and smoothness not to mention the MPG ! I just wonder if the hate from people online is just misinformed as they've never driven one.
Fancy Highlander?
Somthing like porsche a fancy VW statement
The Mazda luxury suv looks better.
I can't find anything about a TX 350, only a RX 350.
Be honest, just my personal opinion. There is nothing wrong about this family suv being as a better and more luxury Toyota highlander or grand highlander. Just the front design of this TX is way too ugly and less aggressive and bold as a big 7 seats suv should be. Otherwise they shall have great sales. Or maybe they just do not want market this car as their flagship, so they can sell more of other Toyota or Lexus.
Kind of boring looking! I pass.
Would be nice 5 years ago!
More like 10 years ago 😂
lexus tx should be called T-REX.
Give me a Telluride hands down any day. The 4 cylinder is underpowered and noisy. Lexus flat out missed the mark with these. Might as well purchase a Grand Highlander for 15k less. At this point you're just purchasing the Lexus badge. At this price point I'd purchase a GV80 or MDX.
I agree
Purchased a 24 telluride xpro. Only 5900km, dealer said the engine needs replacement…so this over kia anyday
Naveenthemachine, you in here trash talking again? How much do you get paid because this is your job I’m sure. Nobody can dedicate the amount of time and feelings that you exude without it being a paid gig.
Yeah lol, atp I’m convinced his full-time job is talking trash about the new RX and TX (probs getting paid at least $10k a month most likely even more)
Yet people are expressing their disappointment in the tx
It’s obvious that I was right and you failed to prove me wrong once again as usual.
@k360 I don't think he gets paid for it. He sounds too cheap even for a dollar.
@@naveenthemachine what I fail to understand is how you keep this passion up. You go into hundreds of videos about this one car that you hate and start conversations about it. Normal people that dislikes a car wouldn’t waste a second of their time on it like you do- and you do it everyday like a hobby. I sure hope you’re getting paid for it, whoever that hired you which you still haven’t said a thing about and is avoiding like the plague. So I’ll ask you again more directly this time, are you getting paid for this by the competitor to trash talk the car?
@@reyd8609 he's just a weird person ig
73k with lots of plastic and 2.4l -4 cylinder? 🤣🤦♂, no thank you.
Yup! I really thought we would get one then test drove it and was like this is a Lexus?! No thanks!
It's called inflation
@@aldwyn07 Bideninflation
Work harder and you can afford one!!! 😂😂😂
I will buy 250k Range Rover and sell it for 35k after 3 years
What about this is luxurious literally could pass as a Toyota
It’s not luxurious 😂. Only the Lexus sheeps who don’t know anything about anything will say “it’s so luxurious to the point where rolls Royce could be put to shame 😱”
MDX all day. However, very practical😊.
I own an MDX and a TX. I love the MDX but I prefer driving the TX
@@CK-1000what do you prefer about the TX? Is it more comfortable and quiet? What trim do you have?
I too would pick the MDX over the TX but they’re both awesome products and the TX is the superior choice if you need the extra space
@@dozie6650 we own a baseTX 350 and an MDX Tech trim. I’ll copy/paste my reply from another thread: the MDX handles better and has better steering and breaking, but the cargo and seating space and the multiple storage compartments (especially for front seat passengers) in the TX make for much less stressful car rides. Other than one small slot and the wireless charger, there’s nowhere to put anything for front seat passengers (unless you count the middle storage bin, but we keep that full with hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes, etc for the kids). I also like that the TX rides smooth, feels like a big suv and feels high off the ground, whereas when I’m in the MDX I feel like I’m in a car. Also, I MUCH prefer the infotainment and backup camera in the TX. The trackpad isn’t bad in the MDX , but the TX infotainment is much more user friendly and better designed and the MDX backup camera quality is a joke compared to the TX. And the seats in the TX are far more comfortable (MDX seats are on the hard side and the leather on the stiff side). Also, I like that the TX comes standard with a cargo/privacy cover, whereas our MDX (tech trim) did not. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the mdx, it’s great value for the money and the tech trim has some amazing features that my base TX doesn’t (pano roof, ambient lighting, standard upgraded instrument cluster, front and rear parking sensors, more color options for seats), but to say the MDX is better for every consumer is untrue, and that’s coming from someone who OWNS both. At the end f the day, you can’t lose with either vehicle. They’re both amazing in different ways.
@@CK-1000thank you for this. I was curious, I most likely will not buy either since they are so expensive.
Not even. This lexus TX has too many open gaps on them especially interior. Their quality and control needs to be sorted out before it gets worst for them. Even BMW, Genesis, and Benz got a better interior than this. What a huge disappointment from Lexus.
Agreed. I knew this was going to happen. Yet nobody listened. They all thought Im just a Toyota hater 😂
@@naveenthemachineToyota fanbase are just denial when you tell the truth
@@naveenthemachine you literally are though? What are you otherwise? A Toyota enthusiast?? Definitely not lol. What we have here is an iconic trio of what I see is Anti-Toyota/Lexus people. Nothing against you guys, but you 3 are the definition of that lol.
How is this luxury interior? Where is the wood?
@@Ryan2022 it doesn’t exist 😆. Nor does a leather dashboard, full leather doors, leather airbag cover, metal speaker grilles, no features etc. none of these exist in the TX
4 cylinder? GARBAGE!
Glossy plastic is not luxurious, it should be reserved for ford AND CHEVYS. Its trashy not classy. Shame on you Toyota!
mdx is just honda interior….
You just proved you don’t know anything 😂. You must not have eyes to make that statement
The MDX is not just a fancy pilot. The MDX inteiror is completely different. Not to mention the architecture of the MDX is different than the pilot. The MDX has a double wishbone front, air suspension and a turbo v6. What pilot offers any of that? Exactly. None
As for the TX, its underpinnings are also shared with the Toyota Camry and rav4, two cars that start less than $30k
i have mdx… is premium but not luxury…
@@nikkisixx29 the MDX is far more luxury than you think.
@@naveenthemachine i have 2022 model… is premium but not luxury… already top of dashboard cracked
I see too much of a Toyota minivan in that front-end.
It was difficult to hear y’all over the loud thrashy engine. Maybe ok at $30k, but not for that.
