Lexus introduces its refreshed TX three-row SUV for its second model year, featuring minimal updates while maintaining both hybrid and non-hybrid gasoline options available.
The 2025 Lexus TX 500h hybrid comes in two trims: F Sport Efficiency Premium and F Sport Efficiency Luxurious, with prices including a mandatory $1,350 destination fee.
2025 Lexus TX
Launched alongside its sibling, the RX 500h, this model introduced Lexus’ Parallel Hybrid system, mirroring Toyota’s hybrid technology in the Hybrid Max variant. Combining a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with a six-speed automated manual transmission, the setup features two electric motors: one nestled between the powerplant and gearbox, and another mounted on the rear axle – collectively generating an impressive 366 horsepower and 409 pound-feet of torque.
The TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid is available in a single Luxury grade, paired with standard all-wheel drive, and has a starting price of $78,560. The 2022 Toyota Harrier Hybrid seamlessly pairs its 3.5-litre V-6 engine with Toyota’s renowned planetary-gear hybrid system, featuring a rear motor similar to the Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid (formerly Prime), yet boasting a V-6 that enables a combined output of 404 horsepower.

Lexus estimates a combined 30 mpg for its TX 550h+. The TX 500H hybrid’s fuel economy is expected to remain unchanged, with a combined EPA rating of 27 miles per gallon for the 2024 model year.
Embedded within the Toyota range is the TX, which shares a common purpose with the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid – that of being a larger, longer counterpart to a midsize crossover, specifically the Lexus RX in this instance. The RX is also accessible in hybrid and plug-in hybrid configurations, but those seeking a larger, boxier vehicle without compromising on luxury will find satisfaction in the TX, which falls short of the grandeur offered by the full-size Lexus LX.
