2024 Lexus TX vs Lexus RX: Which is the better child?

The Toyota Grand Highlander and the 2024 Lexus TX SUV are based on the same platform. The TX will replace the three-row RX-L SUV in the Lexus lineup, offering more spacious back seats compared to the RX-L. The Toyota version is already comfortable, and we expect the Lexus TX to have luxurious amenities, although the complete equipment list is not yet revealed. The 2023 model of the Lexus RX SUV has been completely redesigned, maintaining its smooth ride preferred by loyal customers. It offers four powertrain options, including a new plug-in hybrid version. The new styling features a sharper look with a redesigned grille and distinctive L-shaped running lights. The interior is more luxurious and includes a large infotainment touchscreen with the latest technology features.

Lexus TX

The TX350 models are equipped with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 275 horsepower. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and available in both front- and all-wheel drive, this engine provides a solid performance. For those seeking even more power, the TX500h F Sport Performance variant comes with standard all-wheel drive and a hybrid-assist system, generating 366 horsepower with a six-speed automatic gearbox. The top-of-the-line TX550h+ stands as the most powerful TX model, boasting a 3.5-liter V-6 engine combined with a plug-in hybrid system, resulting in an impressive 406 horsepower. The TX550h+ comes standard with all-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Price & Features

The TX offers three different versions, including the powerful TX550h+ plug-in hybrid with 406 horsepower. Most models are available in the Premium and Luxury trim levels, providing a range of options for different budgets. With prices starting at an estimated $50,000 for the TX350 and going up to approximately $75,000 for the top-of-the-line TX550h+ Luxury, the TX lineup offers a blend of affordability and luxury. The TX comes equipped with a spacious 14.0-inch infotainment screen featuring Lexus’ latest interface, known for its fast and user-friendly operation. Expect standard features such as wireless smartphone charging, in-dash navigation, and wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Lexus RX

Engine, Performance & Acceleration

The 2023 RX offers an impressive range of powertrain options. The base RX350 model is equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering a robust 275 horsepower. For those seeking a hybrid option, the RX350h combines electric motors with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 246 horsepower. It features a CVT and all-wheel drive for enhanced performance. Stepping up to the RX500h F Sport Performance model unleashes a more dynamic powertrain. It combines the turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with electric power, generating an impressive 367 horsepower. This model also utilizes Lexus’s advanced Direct4 system to distribute power to all four wheels, enhancing overall performance.

Price & Features

Despite its sporty appearance, the RX500h F Sport Performance may not live up to expectations in terms of performance. However, it is the most thrilling option available within the RX SUV lineup, albeit with a high price tag. While driving enthusiasts like ourselves would gravitate towards this range-topping model, we believe that more casual drivers would be content with the less powerful but equally comfortable RX350 Premium Plus. The starting price for the RX lineup is $48,950. The redesigned dashboard of the RX features a prominent 9.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, with the option to upgrade to a larger 14.0-inch screen.
