The TX comes with a traditional Lexus spindle grille but with a few changes. There are now horizontal elements added to the traditional looking grille. The TX has also been designed with aerodynamics in mind.
The Lexus TX SUV gets slim headlamps with LED DRLs that merge into the grille. The bonnet is sculpted and gets prominent muscular creases. From the side profile, we can see that the doors are large and get kinks at the bottom to break the monotony. The rear gets a thick D-pillar along with full-width lights. The tail lights appear to be connected with a lightbar.
The SUV rides on 20-22 inch wheels. Customers can choose from eight colour options – Celestial Silver Metallic, Incognito, Caviar, Matado, Nightfall Mica, Cloudburst Grey, Wind Chill Pearl, and Red Mica.
On the inside there is a head-up display, optional digital cluster and a 14-inch infotainment. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard. Overall, the cabin can be described as spacious and roomy. There are multiple USB outlets and 12V power adapters across the car.
Lexus is offering three interior trims – Black, Birch, and Peppercorn. Further, apart from the Base, Premium, and Luxury trim levels, the TX500h will also come with an F Sport Performance version.
The 2024 Lexus TX also comes with a host of driver assistance systems. These include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and others.
