The TX was revealed on June 8, 2023 as part of Toyota's GA-K platform dedicated to mid-size and full-size vehicles with either a front- or all-wheel drive layout configuration. The new platform offers a low center of gravity and optimal weight distribution. To improve performance, enhancements were made to strengthen the TX's body rigidity and minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).[11] Welds and adhesives are featured to increase the vehicle’s joint strength and rigidity through the main framework components of the chassis. The TX introduces a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear multi-link suspension, as well as widened front and rear tracks.[11]
While the J310 LX is available in four-, five, and seven-seat configurations, the TX is available only with six- and seven-seat arrangements. The second row has either a 60:40 split-folding bench or two captain's chairs.[12]
Each model is sold in three trim levels: Standard, Premium (middle), and Luxury (top).[13]
A 14.0-inch multimedia infotainment display is standard on base models, which runs Lexus' newest infotainment interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as well as a navigation system integrated into the dashboard and a wireless smartphone charging system. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display can be reconfigured to show information to the driver, as well as an optional head-up display. A 21-speaker Mark Levinson premium stereo is optional.[14]
20-inch wheels are standard on Premium and Luxury grades. 22-inch wheels are available for the TX 350 Luxury grade and come standard on the 550h+. The 500h F Sport Performance features exclusive 22-inch wheels.[11] The TX has a boot space of 20.2 cubic feet (570 L) with all seats up. With the third row seat down, space increases to 57.4 cubic feet (1,630 L). With both second and third row seats down, boot space increases to 97 cubic feet (2,700 L).[15] The TX is offered in three interior color options depending on grade: Peppercorn, Birch and Black.[11]
The TX features the brand's most technologically advanced safety system. System include Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist and Proactive Driving Assist. The Advanced Park package allows for uncomplicated perpendicular and parallel parking/exiting. Additionally, a Traffic Jam Assist is available via a subscription and is designed to monitor surrounding traffic in low-speed driving situations on limited access roads, and will allow the vehicle to autonomously move forward and brake to keep safe distance between the TX and the preceding car.[11]
The TX replaces the three-row RX L, making it Lexus' only three-row crossover. The TX offers three configurations: TX 350, TX 500h hybrid, and TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid.
