Lexus of Glendale is proud to present the Lexus TX, a vehicle specifically engineered to meet the demands of modern families who refuse to compromise on space or sophistication. As a premier destination for luxury vehicles in Southern California, our dealership group, Lexus of Glendale, understands that a three-row SUV must handle everything from the daily commute on the Ventura Freeway to weekend excursions in the San Gabriel Mountains. The Lexus TX excels in these roles by providing a serene cabin, advanced driver-assistance technology, and a variety of performance options that cater to different driving styles.

What are the different Lexus TX trim levels?

The Lexus TX is available in several distinct trim levels across three primary models: the TX 350, the TX 500h F SPORT Performance, and the TX 550h+. The TX 350 serves as the foundation with Premium and Luxury grades, while the TX 500h is offered in F SPORT Performance Premium and F SPORT Performance Luxury configurations. The flagship TX 550h+ is available exclusively in a well-appointed Luxury trim.

Each trim level provides a specific set of interior and exterior enhancements. The base TX 350 includes essential luxuries like heated front seats and a power-adjustable steering column. Stepping up to the Premium grade adds a panorama glass roof and ventilated front seats, which are essential for staying comfortable during warm Southern California afternoons. The Luxury grade further elevates the experience with semi-aniline leather-trimmed seating and thematic ambient lighting. For those seeking a more dynamic presence, the F SPORT Performance trims feature unique styling cues and an adaptive variable suspension for improved handling.

How much cargo space does the Lexus TX have?

The Lexus TX provides a maximum cargo capacity of 97 cubic feet when both the second and third rows are folded flat. Even with all seven seats in use, the Lexus TX maintains a generous 20.2 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which is sufficient for seven standard-sized carry-on suitcases. This class-leading volume ensures that Glendale families have ample room for both passengers and gear.

  • Behind Third Row: 20.2 cubic feet

  • Behind Second Row: 57.4 cubic feet

  • Total Max Cargo: 97.0 cubic feet

This versatility makes the Lexus TX an ideal companion for local errands at the Americana at Brand or longer road trips across the region. The interior is designed with a flat load floor to simplify the process of loading heavy or bulky items. Additionally, an available power-folding third row allows for effortless reconfiguration of the cabin space at the touch of a button.

What performance options are available for the Lexus TX?

The Lexus TX offers three powerful engine options designed to balance efficiency with responsive performance. The standard 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 produces 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, while the TX 500h F SPORT Performance utilizes a hybrid powertrain to deliver 366 net combined horsepower. For those seeking maximum efficiency, the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid generates 404 total system horsepower and offers an estimated 33 miles of all-electric range.

The driving experience is further enhanced by advanced drivetrain technologies. The TX 500h and TX 550h+ models come standard with DIRECT4 all-wheel drive, a system that constantly monitors and adjusts power distribution between the front and rear axles to optimize traction and stability. For drivers navigating the winding roads around Glendale, the F SPORT Performance models include Dynamic Rear Steering, which turns the rear wheels in coordination with the front wheels to improve maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds.

Which technology features are standard on the Lexus TX?

Every Lexus TX comes equipped with a 14-inch high-resolution touchscreen featuring the latest Lexus Interface multimedia system. This system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, allowing for seamless access to navigation and media. A standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster provides the driver with customizable information, while an available 10-inch Head-Up Display projects critical driving data directly onto the windshield.

  1. Lexus Interface: A 14-inch touchscreen with cloud-based navigation and "Hey Lexus" voice commands.

  2. Safety Suite: Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 includes pre-collision systems and adaptive cruise control.

  3. Digital Latch: An electronic door system with Safe Exit Assist to prevent opening doors into approaching traffic

  4. Premium Audio: An available 21-speaker Mark Levinson PurePlay Surround Sound system for an immersive listening experience.

Is the Lexus TX a hybrid or a gas-powered SUV?

The Lexus TX is available as a traditional gas-powered vehicle, a self-charging hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). This multi-pathway approach allows buyers at Lexus of Glendale to choose the powertrain that best fits their lifestyle and environmental goals. The TX 350 uses a 2.4L turbo engine, while the TX 500h and TX 550h+ provide electrified alternatives that increase both power and fuel efficiency.

Choosing the right model depends on your daily driving habits in Southern California. The TX 500h is perfect for those who want a performance-oriented hybrid that never needs to be plugged in. Conversely, the TX 550h+ is an excellent choice for Glendale residents who can utilize the 33 miles of all-electric range for local commutes while having the gasoline engine available for longer trips. Regardless of the powertrain chosen, every Lexus TX is engineered to provide the quiet, smooth ride that defines the brand.
