The 2024 Lexus TX is a new three-row SUV from Lexus, designed to fill the gap in the luxury brand's lineup. It offers three powertrain options and various trim levels for customization. While the driving experience is somewhat ponderous and the steering feels light and unresponsive, the cabin is quiet and comfortable. The infotainment system is improved, and the storage systems are impressive. The third-row seating is more accommodating compared to its predecessor, but the overall styling is conservative. The Lexus TX is a solid, utilitarian vehicle for those seeking a reliable and comfortable mid-size SUV.
