- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Lexus TX 3-row luxury SUV.
Enter to win a set of Toyo Celsius II all-wether tires. Enter here.www.toyotires.ca/enter-our-co...
The 2024 Lexus TX is a large 3-row SUV with ample space for passengers. It has a long wheelbase of 116.1” which is the same as the new Toyota Grand Highlander, however, it is 2” longer than the Toyota. There is a key difference between this and the Grand Highlander, the Toyota is a 7-8 passenger SUV, the TX 6-7 passengers. If you need to haul more people, you may find the Toyota to be the better option.
There isn’t a lot of competition in the luxury 3-row SUV category offering this much space and three different powertrain options including a performance hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Here’s a breakdown of the models.
The 2024 Lexus TX 350 has a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder, 8-speed automatic transmission, 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD in Canada, FWD and AWD options in the US.
The 2024 Lexus TX 500h, a 2.4L turbocharged hybrid powertrain with a 6-speed automatic transmission, 366 horsepower and standard DIRECT4 AWD.
The 2024 Lexus TX 550h+ with a 3.5L V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, it’s matched to a CVT and has a combined 404 horsepower. It gets an EV range of 53 km/33 miles.
For those wanting a large family hauler in the premium/luxury category the 2024 Lexus TX is tough to beat. It’s spacious offering plenty of first, second and third row legroom. Space behind the third row is also very good which is hard to come by in this segment.
If you compare the 2024 Lexus TX to the Acura MDX which is another leader for space in the 3-row category, the2024 Lexus TX has about the same amount of front row legroom but an inch more in the second row and 4” more in the third row. The TX has more overall cargo space but also more space behind the second and third rows.
The2024 Lexus TX 350 and 500h models are on sale now, the TX 550h+ will be available at a later date. The TX is built at the US Indiana plant.
In the US, the TX 350 FWD model starts at $55,050 USD/AWD $56,650 USD, TX 350 Premium FWD $58,450 USD/AWD $60,050 USD, TX 350 Luxury FWD $60,950 USD/AWD $62,550 USD, TX 500h F Sport Performance Premium AWD $69,350 USD and TX 500h F Sport Performance Luxury AWD $72,650 USD.

Thank you, thank you, for including measurements for leg room. I have asked a number of channels for this but you’re the only one who started including it. Your videos have always been good - I watch till the end every time - but the two of you have really improved the product in the last year or so. I appreciate your professionalism and the fact you’ve done it without changing your authentic humor and affection for each other. You’ll never be duplicated/copied. Thank you also for catering to USA viewers with measurements, trim offerings, etc.
Been waiting for this review both. This car looks fab and big. I think the red version sets it off just fine 🎉❤
I was so excited that you used my question on this review. You definitely helped me shed some light on my decision. Thank you two for all that your doing. Best channel ever!
Thanks so much for participating!!
Great review as always. On top of comparing the TX to the Grand Highlander, it would also be interesting to see the TX vs Sienna for the people/cargo hauling capability.
I'm in awe of your creativity.
The reviewers I was waiting for to review this beauty
The BEST reviews on the tube. Hands down.
Nice review, I bet it will be quite a wait for we, in Atlantic Canada, to obtain a TX! Guess we will keep the Aviator for awhile as it's been flawless so far.
I remember the original Prius Prime only having 4 seats. It had something to do with the additional weight of the battery and the suspension setup. My guess is that the hybrid models are already dealing with the additional weight of the battery and having a 7th person plus cargo inside might be problematic.
Not sure how I feel about that grill. Maybe it will grow on me? In he market for new tires so thanks for the well timed contest!
Lexus does one thing better than any other car company, service! Highly reliable, premium quality and service unmatched with your own advisor for the maintenance help if needed! While the quality gap has narrowed in the last 20 years no one has come close to service aspect and that is why lots of customers in the 50 plus bracket lease them on regular basis!!
💯% worth every penny great job Lexus ❤. As usual from Lexus. The best or nothing. Thank you Lexus for delivering the best
Thank you very much for this review! Although out of our price range, I do appreciate the details as well as the link to win a set of all-season tires!
I like contests! hope I win the tires! Excellent show.
good camera work for interior, I have an option about the review of trim levels it’s becoming like listening to a chart or spreadsheet. You know when someone presents a PowerPoint and the just read what on the slide. I can read a chart, rather hear about how the sound level is, ac/heat effectiveness, and what you already do which is how the drive and suspension is.
Haha I love the way andrea nails that when she gets in the vehicle. 😊
I agree with you the second row should be have option Captain chair or bench seat in the F sport model hybrid. People buy a large SUV for carry more people and want more power too.
Oh shoot, congrats for the new sponsor! That’s a big one!
We got the GH Hybrid Max Platinum last month and started wondering if we should have waited for the TX550h. Not really - especially because of the 'options' that need to be added on even on the Luxury 550h (like the tech package for panoramic monitor etc) and what comes standard on the GH Platinum. That brings the price close to 76k! That's a ~$16k difference for comparable model and features!
You have to drive both to really feel the difference, also the Lexus will hold its value better, not that Toyota doesn't hold its value well.
@@maisondav1d agreed - the Lexus has its perks, and I'm not doubting that!
How well is the Hybrid Max system holding up have you been dealing with any issues with the Hybrid Max system Especially when it has a Turbo V4 Engine and not a V6 Turbo Engine??
Great review and thanks for the contest. The province Ontario does not seem to be listed for the contest.
We just purchased the RX 350 and we like that grill better. We need those winter tires! Our Lexus if front wheel drive and Zack said we'll be OK with winter tires.
In my opinion Lexus has brought their A game in all vehicles. Kind of like Kia and Hyundai. By the way did I say my Hyundai Santa Fe needs new snowflake rated tires? Love the name and love the sport drink also. You guys have lots to remember and have the best job.
Andrea can’t concentrate on the beautiful lexus you’re showing off. Outfit is 🔥 keep it up! 😆
Hi there I love your detailed reviews on Lexus. I need help refining my decision on which car to get. I have back problems, I like a responsive vehicle and my husband is 6’1. Im 5’3 and due to back issues I like the ease of getting in and out of a vehicle and great smooth suspension. A bonus would be a non gas guzzler or great mpg’s. What would you recommend????
I’m not a fan of the design of the dash but design is subjective. Another great review
the adaptive suspension is that just dampening adjustment or is it a full air suspension?
Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a big quiet car that gives you luxury feel as well as an amazing ride especially in highways. I am puzzled you did not mention that!
I’m leaning toward not digging the front trapezoidal grill treatment. From an exterior styling treatment, I prefer the Aviator, MDX and some Bimmers. However, Lexus reliability, interiors and power train options are not to be dismissed.
It’s smart to have a large vehicle hybrid that gives good mpg. It probably stopped many people from getting big vehicle in the past because of terrible mpg
Hybrid is for low IQ people who cheap on gas and like to support their government
I like the car, it is a suv but some how reminds me of a bog estate. It is well build, and nice materials. Will consider this car as next car...
for the 3rd row seats, are they completely flat like Kia Telluride or VW Atlas? I can see a little bit of slope.
Thank you both of you ❤
Thanks for watching!
Dont need a 3 row school bus 🚍🚍🚍. Awaiting the new Mazda CX70
Very nice effort I like the direction Lexus is headed
@ClickOnProfile355 how exciting
I entered the contest - thanks. As a former Geography Major I was intrigued by the new provinces and states Toyo lists in their dropdown menu. I'm from Toronto which apparently is in the province of WE - no option for Ontario. Other options are NAKED, and MWT, which I assume is for the More West Territories. In the US new states include THAT, OF, THERE, BORN, GOLD and GO. I presume "KY" is for Kentucky.🤣
Ive sent them a note.
The hybrid models of the Grand Highlander is almost impossible to get so I'm settling with the GH Limited Gas, but I'm double guessing it now that a lot of reviews claims that the GH drives like a boat and people in the 2nd and 3rd road gets sea(road) sick. However the TX seem to drive a lot better, do you guys think it is worth jumping from GH Limited Gas to TX 350H Base which is about $11kCAD difference?
I agree with you Zack. Let me choose if I want banch or 2 chairs in top trim
It has to do with gross vehicle weight rating. Having the larger v6 engine plus bigger batteries and bigger electric motors increases the curb weight of the vehicle and inches closer to the gross vehicle weight. So Toyota removed a seat, and eliminated a passenger, so when you load up the car, you don't exceed the gross weight
@ClickOnProfile355 what you mean?
I’d count Rivian R1S as luxury 3 row vehicle with lot of space. They are selling and have a service center in Vancouverc Canada.
Hope y’all enjoyed your trip to Austin!
We sure did, what a fun city!
Guys, so good as usual!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for our comparison between the Grand Highlander and TX, it drops Saturday.
Thanks for the Video, you guys are great as always. I am just curious which PHEV can have the range of 80-90 KM? 50-60 KM is just not good enough considering the amount of money people have to pay to get a PHEV vehicle.
Check Toyota RAV4 prime and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
So where is the arm rest for the last to captains chairs?
I tried to enter contest. I live in Ontario. When I go to enter address there is no Ontario option to click on under Province /State??
Man, that cargo space is massive. This would have made an excellent Sopranos vehicle. You could fit three, maybe four stiffs back there.
we talk about luxury but how much more luxurious does this feel when let's say compared to a Mazda CX-90? Is it worth the astronomical price difference?
Really looking forward to that hybrid engine in the new Tacoma.
Hybrid is for low IQ people who's cheap on gas and like to support their government
Welcome to Texas! 🙂
Great review! We need a 7 seater so that rules out the 550h. Based on drive quality, would you recommend TX 350, Grand Highlander Hybrid Max, or Tahoe?
For me, TX, then GH Hybrid M.
Very impressive SUV. Hopefully they add massaging seats one day.
V6 with the PHEV is the one to get. A four banger with a vehicle that size is a no go. Don’t care how great the mpg is.
Lexus -tx
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Andrea's grin when accelerating the TX... precious!
I prefer the TX 350
Lexus 350 is my choice, vs the GLS and X7 this is a bargain. I personally had the Q7 was not a fan and also considered the XC90 but seeing as how it has looked the same forever I thought it was due for a facelift. At the end of the day it is a grand highlander rebadge but I feel safer with the Lexus badge.
Wow! What a beautiful car! I was thinking about leasing a BMW X5. I may just buy this new Lexus.
If you care at all about driving dynamics and cornering capabilities the x5 as a previous owner who just sold their lease two months ago , I can say is definitively the better buy. But, if that doesn’t matter much to you and float along is what you enjoy then getting this vehicle makes sense. The new x5 is very floaty when I’m comfort mode and veryyyy sporty in sport modes launch control on every model kinda wild, liter under 5 sec sprints up the on ramp we’re fun and we had the plug-in hybrid it was amazing. Buttttt we leased the bmw and we own a Lexus gs 😅soooo yeahhh sigh it’s the Lexus get the Lexus but wooooo was that x5 fun. Maybe lease the x5 for a few years then sell it and get a tax certified pre owned?
Hard to beat the awesome BMW engines. Not a fan of their overly boosted steering feel and super grabby brakes, difficult to modulate especially in stop and go traffic.@@LafemmebearMusic
If you're leasing, get whatever you like. If you're buying, get the Lexus.
Hello! Any chance to see the new 2025 Infiniti QX80??
I still get a little bit confused sometimes with you guys because sometimes you mention hybrid but you mean plug-in hybrid. Is it the regular hybrid that only comes with Captain's chairs as you stated at the end of the video or is it the plug-in hybrid that does so?
The TX 350 is the only model that has a bench seat offering. The 500h F Sport and 550+ plug-in hybrid only have captain’s chairs.
a premium GH not bad.
Have to go to backyard to dig up more money lol 👍✌️🙏🇨🇦
Good job guy
Best Family hauler is a van. Lexus is for luxury and quality for a quiet and comfortable ride……therefore it should have all captain chairs for maximum comfort
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.
The TX 350 ride is more refined, you will find the 500h F Sport to be more dynamic but definitely not rough. The 550h+ plug-in hybrid has quite a refined drive as well, very smooth. Now keep in mind, the roads in Austin are quite nice, I would like to try the TX on rougher roads.
I think the F-Sport trim comes is the only trim that has adaptative dampening as standard and is not available on the other trims. It may help offset the smaller profile tires on rougher roads.@@andreaspencer9813
@@MIZUNOMP60 Yes that is correct about the F Sport model and the adaptive variable suspension.
The Color matching grill is a big nope for me
Awesome content as always
Thank you so much!
Ha ha spammers every where
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is exactly like Honda where Honda doesn’t allow getting premium leather seats with Trailsport trim. Or higher ground clearance is not possible with Touring/Elite trim. What if I like the extra ground clearance and rugged looks of trailsport but then I like the premium interior of top trim ? Why Honda ?
The grill needs to be larger. Larger I say!
I think the grill needs more chrome
I coudn't agree more with you saying that more powerful engine should be oferred in luxury version too instead of only F sport!
At first, I had a hard time understanding why Lexus would just do a badge job on the Grand Highlander. However, I am kinda coming around on this. Providing you don't want a body-on-frame SUV, Lexus previously had no offering for somebody who wanted to step up from the RX. The TX definitively fixes that. Even if it's more expensive than a Grand Highlander, it's way cheaper on the entry level than any X7 or GLS could ever be. And those big crossovers don't offer any hybrid options at all. Cutting to the chase, I expect that Lexus will be sold out of the TX for months to come.
Heated steering wheel is all around or just at 9 and 3 on the wheel
It's all around.
Better if they put the RX's front design on it. 😏
In this economy, if I want a luxury car, I would definitely go for German cars in this price range. If I am after a good deal then it is time to check American cars.
Andrea & Zack, Vehicles are getting HUGE?? Are We going to See a School Bus Hybrid or something similar. Hahaha Hahaha 😮😅
I can’t see a reason to buy this over a grand highlander. The separation is just too little for the price difference.
Agreed, Zach. Lexus should definitely offer a 500h in non-F Sport guise.
500h F-sport is the way 😎
💯💯💯
Curious, will an insurance company consider these all weather tires as winter tires? because in Canada they give some 5-10% discount and use of this might forfeit that. In the current situation of rising cost might not be a favourable decision. Not questioning the utility of tires.
As long as they have the snow flake designation .. you’re good to go 👍
I have all-weathers and got the discount (in Canada).
I hope the send this to Europe to alternate to Kia EV9 or other big full EVs.
Why i dont understand is why companies dont make the second rows the bench seat if they want a 7 pasenger configuration. That way you can have more total cargo volume in the rear. In the center its kind of a waste
so the wife is looking for a 24 GH limited, why would I pay the extra money again just to get this- isn’t it the same vehicle basically?
Who was the mother lover at Lexus decided on a) the front grill design, b) 6 seats?!!!!!!!!!! I want to give the holiday greeting to this person.
You all are just a short drive to San Antonio... drive that Lexus down this way 😜
In my opinion, Lexus is losing out on interior luxury. This looks nice, but, not what Lexus used to look like inside. Also, when you give the price for the 4 "competitors" is that in Canadian or US? Thanks for great fun reviews!
I think the color is making it look a little dull. In reality it probably feels pretty nice
Apparently their going to offer more exterior and interior colors down the road.(according to other auto journalists). The reddish leather option available on the RX would look great in the F-Sport trim for example. They could have had more contrast in the interior, lighter color on the dash to match the door cards etc.
For me is toyota sienna awd
This is an uppity grand highlander. Toyota/Lexus have been doing this kind of twinning for years. If they insist on putting 4 cylinders in cars this big for emissions then they should drop the base turbo 4 entirely and just stick to the 500h and 550h. And you’re right about the 7 passenger option. Kids don’t need business class.
Am I understanding it correctly when I say the plug in only has 6 seats? I don't want to buy a car of this size to seat 6. 7 is the minimum.
I can understand a 3 row middle and then 2 comfy seats in the back, but 6 is missing the point.
Yes, the 500h F Sport and 550h+ models are only 6-passenger vehicles.
I mean I want a 7 seater if not an 8 seater bruh...
The armrests at the front end of the vehicle looks so thin and weird.
I couldn’t click on the link to win the tire giveaway,
So what is the name of the tire?
We have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on our vehicle and they’re Awesome on dry, wet, slushy and snowy roads. We Love them for year round use.
Check link in description. It does work.
@@Motormouth... I honestly couldn’t pull it up on my phone.
I tried 4Xs.
After 24 years owning Lexus LS sedans and 25 years owning a variety of Toyota vehicles (Camry, Prius, Sienna) - all purchased new - my conclusion is that the main benefits of the Lexus brand are an additional year of warranty, better snacks in the customer waiting areas and sometimes the availability of additional comfort, safety and convenience features. Whenever possible, I bought parts for our Lexus vehicles at Toyota dealerships where the cost was less - sometimes far less. I've been more satisfied with service at Toyota dealerships than at Lexus dealerships. My main question about this Lexus TX is whether its adjustable suspension includes automatic leveling or, if not, do its headlights have automatic or manual leveling. Rear end sag can be significant in a minivan - I mean SUV - like the Lexus TX.
I drive a 2014 gs and have for years now only second owner, gotta say coming from mainline Toyotas and Honda and vw products this does not feel the same sound wise drive the same features wise than the Camry I had of the same generation, and I regularly take Ubers in new Camrys newer than my GS and just the suspension tuning and sound deadening, materials choices. I could go on, I’m surprised you’re saying in you LS you don’t really notice much difference between the Toyota products and Lexus products. Especially given that you’re driving a rear wheel drive architecture as well. Can you elaborate?
@@LafemmebearMusic When there have been Lexus and Toyota that were essentially mechanically identical, there hasn't been all that much difference. I'm talking about such "siblings" as the Lexus RX and the Toyota Highlander, the Lexus LX and the Toyota Land Rover, etc. There were never Toyota versions of the Lexus LS, GS and IS sold in North America although all three were formerly sold under the Toyota brand in Japan, e.g. LS = Toyota Celsior, GS = Toyota Aristo, IS = Toyota Altezza. What I meant was when there are similar models bearing the Toyota and Lexus brands, there isn't all that much difference. Material quality is usually just a little bit better in the Lexus brand vehicles and more features are available in the Lexus brand vehicles. I also meant to say that I've had better customer service experiences at Toyota dealerships than at Lexus dealerships. Why would I spend $14 for an oil filter at a Lexus dealership when I could buy the exact same filter - same part number - at a Toyota dealership for $3.85. Lexus dealership pastries in the waiting room aren't that good! Both our Lexus and Toyota brand vehicles have been very nice and mostly trouble free. We're currently on a wait list for a Lexus NX450h mainly because the similar Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid cannot be equipped with many of the features that are available on the Lexus NX450h, e.g. automatic leveling headlights. Sorry for the long reply. I'm kind of a "car nut".
@@H2SO4H20so since you called yourself a car nut, maybe you can help me. I’m looking for traffic jam assist or something like it to make my 5 hour drive easier. Is there a car you recommend. I’m looking at the RX350H but im not in love with the price.
@@saragrizzle140 That's a tall order! My understanding is that the less expensive Lexus NX also has traffic jam assist. The current NX is quite roomy and about the same size as the original RX. The new car market is still crazy on prices although the used car market has softened considerably. We've been on a wait list for a Lexus NX450h plug-in hybrid since early 2022 but haven't been offered one yet and it's especially difficult since we are rigid on color and features. If you otherwise like that RX350h, its price might not get much better in the foreseeable future. It's still pretty much a seller's market. Be aware that traffic jam assist and adaptive cruise control with lane centering usually function only on roads with well marked lanes and road edges. I suppose you could look at other vehicle brands. I'm not much of a fan of German cars based on bad experiences of long ago but these driver assist features are available on most of those. I actually disregarded my past bad experiences and bought a Porsche SUV last summer because it was fun to drive and especially because it has traffic jam assist and can essentially drive itself on highways while I still pay close attention.
@@H2SO4H20 ty so much for taking the time to write so much. I would love a Porsche. How are you liking it?
Not sure if others feel the same way, but I feel like the GH looks nicer inside and out. The TX doesn't even look like a luxury product to me.
Hm 7 passengers suv 4 cyl I don’t know!
The pricing is better than I thought!

Lexus TX 350
is a 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid with more of everything plus a higher price.
Have we lost the comparison videos to cars coffee and questions? I'd like to see a comparison of this and the grand highlander.
We will be doing a comparison between the Grand Highlander and the TX, it drops this Saturday, 10/14 at 6am PST/9am EST. Looking forward to sharing it.
Sorry, I posted the comment before watching the video. Almost at the start, you referred to the upcoming comparison. I look forward to it.
it looks massive, but only 6 seater.
I was actually purchasing the TX 500H+ but I wanted the bench seating in the middle row. I know Lexus has their reasoning for making it more ‘luxurious’ but man atleast give us an option. Not all
families want captain’s chair in the middle. If you are reading this Lexus (Canada) consider it please and I will buy right away. For the mean time, will look into other brands. Anyways, more power to you guys. Cheers from your fellow Vancouverite ✌🏻
Typically, hybrid/plug in hybrid vehicles are heavier than reg combustible gas vehicles especially plug-in hybrids. This additional weight plus the extra seat and the weight allowance for that extra passenger push the vehicle weight limit too close or over maximum vehicle payload (safety issue) and also reduces fuel/battery efficiency. It's not just about the "less seats are more luxurious theory". Just passing this along, heard it many times on review comments!
$56,000 is not too bad for the U.S. and main competitor is MDX. Too bad it came with turbo and 3 row seats. I never liked any black trims on wheels or ? I also never cared those high tech display or stupid panorama roof. I have never opened my sun roof or the shade. I hated that big monitor.
The mark Levinson stereo is very terrible in the TX .Bass is flat . Equalizer needs a bass boost
I want a people hauler so 6 seats are not enough for me
