2024 Lexus TX 550h+ Plug in Hybrid POV Drive Impressions /// Allcarnews
The Lexus TX is a major product for the brand, their first three row SUV dedicated for road use and cargo room, not off roading. And while the base TX is lethargic, the TX550h+ is THE one to get; with its unique Plug In powertrain, luxury features, and impressive efficiency.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Highs:
+The Powertrain IS the main feature here and it is perfection. EV mode is glorious, hybrid mode is super efficient, and the whole experience makes the THE TX to get, if you can even find one.
+The interior DESIGN, is nice. Lot’s of passenger and cargo room as well, very utilitarian.
Lows:
-The exterior design feels unfinished and still a bit too similar to the Gran Highlander.
-The ride is soft over smooth pavement but there is an unnatural firmness to the suspension
-Interior quality, features, and ergonomics could be better for over $80k. The focus here is on space more than anything.
It’s a good start for Lexus and they will sell boatloads. The TX550h+ impressed me with the powertrain but elsewhere can be improved with a Gen 2 version.
7/10
