Style, Utility, and Comfort: The 2026 Lexus TX
The Lexus TX is back for 2026, carrying forward its promise of premium comfort, cutting-edge technology, and confident performance. While the updates for this model year are subtle, they add to the TX’s well-rounded personality as a luxury three-row SUV built for modern families and drivers who want style without compromise.
For 2026, Lexus introduces Matador Red Mica as a new exterior color option on non-F SPORT trims and makes a panorama glass roof standard on the TX 550h+. Practical touches also arrive for passengers, with modular cupholders now standard in the third row, ensuring convenience for all.
Let’s dive into what makes the 2026 Lexus TX a standout in the luxury SUV market.
Powertrain Options: Three Ways to Drive in Style
The 2026 TX caters to different lifestyles with three powertrain options:
- TX 350 (FWD/AWD): 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 with 275 hp and 317 lb.-ft. of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic.
- TX 500h F SPORT Performance: A 2.4L turbo hybrid system with 366 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering thrilling performance with DIRECT4 AWD and Dynamic Rear Steering.
- TX 550h+ PHEV: A Lexus-first plug-in hybrid, combining a 3.5L V6 with DIRECT4 AWD to produce 404 hp and an estimated 33 miles of EV-only range.
Driving Experience
Built on the GA-K platform, shared with the RX and NX, the TX emphasizes balance, precision, and quietness. Lexus’ Driving Signature (LDS) philosophy ensures linear steering, smooth suspension, and confidence-inspiring handling whether cruising on Sheikh Zayed Road or navigating tight city streets.
The Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), standard on F SPORT trims, constantly adjusts damping to match road conditions. For drivers who enjoy spirited handling, the Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) on the TX 500h adds agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds.
Practical Elegance: Interior & Cargo
Inside, the 2026 TX combines luxury with practicality.
- Seating for seven with options for captain’s chairs or a bench in the second row.
- Up to 97 cubic feet of cargo space with both second and third rows folded down.
- Premium materials like semi-aniline leather (Luxury trims) and F SPORT exclusive sport seating.
- Seven USB ports, wireless charging, and available 21-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound.
The cabin also features ambient lighting, intelligent storage solutions, and a 14-inch touchscreen powered by the Lexus Interface system.
Safety & Technology
Every TX comes with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

- Emergency Driving Stop System
For added convenience, options like Digital Key, Cloud Navigation, Advanced Park Assist, and Traffic Jam Assist bring Lexus closer to the future of connected, semi-autonomous driving.
