      That is correct especially with that pricing. Also, you can't explain the luxury to little people in the back about luxury without giving them an entertainment system similar to Sienna. No interior accent lighting as well. That front looks super weird as well. I will just wait for a redesign or else look at the 2025 QX80. Soft pass on this one.

    Imho, huge huge miss by Lexus corporate for making top trim TX’s a 6 seater.
    I would have ordered a TX 500h or 500h+ phev if it was at a 7 seater.
    6 seat only option was the deal breaker (as I imagine it will be for many potential buyers). Which is a bummer, bc it’s such an amazing lux/performance suv. 😢

    Loving the hybrid option, but this would have been perfect if it had 8 and a half inches ground clearance, and I would prefer a V6 engine offering with over 300 hp in the TX350 option, naturally aspirated v6 lasts longer, would preform better and is smoother. Im not paying 69k for a turbo charged 4 cyl, thats what the grand highlander is for, why they put that in the lexus idk. Everything else is top notch love it

    I wish you could get 20" wheels on this model. Most reviews have criticized ride quality with 22", plus 20" are just better all around (cost, noise, curbing, etc ). That, plus the 6-speed (rather than 8) will likely push us to the plug-in version. Which is unfortunate bc I'd like the F Sport suspension.

    Hello Sofyan. Good review video for the 2024 Lexus TX 500H. Lexus came out with this vehicle to replace the RX 350L (not RXL). According to their words, Lexus said they made the decision to replace the RX 350L due to the fact that "it wasn't roomy enough." The TX is much more spacious than the RX 350L for sure. More interior space for occupants, storage and cargo. The engine powertrains are good performers. From 0-60 in less than 7 seconds for the 500H shown in this video is pretty good for a vehicle of this size. Due to the price points for the 500H trim level shown in this video and the 550H+, I expected few more features to be included from Lexus which are MIA. Few more of those features are found on few other vehicles. Four months ago back in July, I got a vehicle that has more features with almost the same price points. The vehicle I got is the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim nicely equipped with the 5.7 liter HEMI V8 engine. The features found on my vehicle and is MIA on the Lexus TX 500H or 550H+ include the following:
    1. Massaging front seats
    2. Front passenger
    infotainment screen
    3. Interior camera
    4. Night vision camera
    5. Adjustable air suspension
    6. Besides offering power
    folding third row seats,
    the second row seats are
    power folding as well
    7. More wood panels found
    on the lower portion of
    the dashboard, upper
    portion of the front doors
    and the upper portion of
    the rear passenger doors
    8. Built-in towing package
    9. Exposed bumper
    integration exhaust tips
    Probably during a mid-cycle refresh of the Lexus TX, Lexus might include either four or five of those features I just mentioned. Let's see what happens when the time comes.

    Great info. Always look forward to your reviews. I have a question please... how is the TX ride compared to LX600 ride? I have LX600 but I feel the ride is somewhat rough. I wonder if I should trade my LX for a TX. Would appreciate your thoughts please.

    • @theredline

      We have an LX 600 for testing back home right now and it has a cushy ride, but the live axle in the rear end does make it crash a bit over rougher roads. The TX has a fully independent suspension and uses a unibody structure for the platform, which tends to give it a smoother ride and more car-like feel versus the body-on-frame platform of the LX. We’d have to drive the two back-to-back to say for sure, but the TX should have a slightly more controlled and smoother ride quality over the LX.

    Great review. Is there an architectural reason for no bench seat option with the hybrid models or is this just a choice Lexus made to only have captains chairs. Having only 6 seats is a deal breaker for me which is unfortunate.

    • @theredline
      @theredline  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lexus tells us the hybrid battery pack lives under the floor for second row seats and requires them to use captains chairs in all the hybrid versions.

      I still like Acura’s removable middle row center seat idea, such smart way to attract all the buyers who want a bench seat even on the top trim level. However, the lack of hybrid and touch screen are the reasons keep me away from buying MDX.

    • @njt7117
      @njt7117 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ok thanks. With a car this big Lexus should have designed the battery packs in a different part of the vehicle. The Grand Highlander hybrid allows a bench seat which is why this is confusing.
