The 2024 Lexus TX 550h+ Is A 3-Row Plug-In Hybrid With V6 Power In A Pragmatic Package

The first-ever V6 Plug-in Hybrid from #Lexus has arrived in the form of the 2024 #LexusTX550h +. The #LexusTX picks up where the old #LexusRXL left off, but unlike other #TX models, the #TX550h + retains a V6 engine under the hood and pairs it with a two powerful electric motors and a battery pack that provides up to 33 miles of EV only range.

But it has a naturally aspirated V-6. A trusty, proven and very reliable engine…. Far more reliability expected compared to the compact 4 turbos!

3 beam headlight would have helped distinguishing it from highlander

The Toyota/Lexus camera sweep may not be very useful, but if you put the car in drive and hit the camera view button it will give you additional views that you can cycle through. Weird that they don’t come up in park but they can be helpful.

6 passenger is the only problem. Dont see the need to get a 3 row to carry 1 additional person

Lexus needs a 550h+ Platinum F-sport model with Genesis GV80 interior. It needs the panoramic roof, aggressive Fsport bumpers, triple beam lights, rear wheel steering, massage seats x4, add heat and ventilation to 3rd row seats, heads up display, and 1 more small electric motor in the transmission to add 15hp and 100 ft/lb torque towards performance. Exterior could feature a more spindled grille like the previous RX models, power side steps, and carbon fiber or polished bits of trim. Maybe add a heads-up display, and standard rear tablets/tv monitors with power privacy shades. Call it the 600h

I love Alex on Autos. After searching and watching this Video, I didn't see Alex reviewing this model... now I see why. What a great collaboration.

Overall I like the TX and it is going to end up replacing our GH, I am kinda bummed they don’t offer the pano roof on the plug-in because we are looking to get the plug-in version. Hopefully they’ll add it in later and some triple beam LED’s, but what you’re really paying for is the plug-in system. 404hp plus 30mpg, and 33 miles of EV driving range is very hard to beat in this segment

Great review Redline!! I do wish the triple beam was available on this one😢😢
But magnificent nonetheless, c'mon GX quit hiding😂😂

A few surprises when I drove the TX. Materials. Shiny gloss plastic around the cluster. Felt upscale Corolla vs. luxury like an up-trimmed GX. Driving - felt like sitting on top of the car vs. sitting in the car like my X7. Fair bit of plastic around the car. Instrument cluster was limited for what a digital display could be. Suspension was fine, but best version of this was the entry level 20" tires (no air suspension across the line). The sunroof omission was surprising - losing a mile or two wouldn't be a bad tradeoff.

glad to hear you can get it without the pano roof. Better for loading kayaks and gear. DC fast charge would have been good for along distance hauler

I actually like the look of this car inside and out. The modular center console is a good idea but looks a little cheap. I suspect most people will leave it alone, so a more traditional console would have been nicer. Keeping the V6 was a good move and helps to set it apart from the Toyota GH in a meaningful way, along with the different interior and standard large infotainment screen. The one major misstep is lack of a pano sunroof, which could be a deal breaker.

We’re getting closer to 1 million

Why doesn't my guy not have 1 million subscribers already????

I don’t know how you memorize all those details Sofyan? A lot of factoids to recall. Great review as usual!

[Ezero]

This is nice. This is the engine the Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX should've gotten.

[maxcurry]

This vehicle is built in Indiana, not Illinois. Not that big a deal, but just wanted to point it out. Great review also.

[bhmbill]

You didn’t mention the Mazda CX-90 as a comparison. MB GLE 450e comes into play at this price point as well.

[icculus]

The 255 tires are narrow on paper, but they don’t look too narrow and probably help with gas mileage. I’m guessing it’s a pretty wide rim (9” or 9.5”) to still give it a decent look.

[jsfbay]

I wouldn't be surprised if this TX PHEV will be very close to $90, 000 with any option packages (if there are any.)

I noticed that the Lexus TX550h+ stubby center brake light is much shorter in length than the Toyota Grand Highlander's center brake light, which thus looks more elegant IMHO.

But I haven't seen the center brake light turned on in either vehicle. In reality they may both have an equal length in bulb light. IOW, it may all be for show on the Toyota Grand Highlander's center brake light.
