2025 LEXUS TX 500H F-SPORT: THE BIGGEST LEXUS GAINS NEW TECH AND TRIM LEVEL FOR 2025

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lexus TX 500h F-Sport Performance Premium is reviewed as a highly practical and comfortable three-row luxury SUV, building on its initial launch with new tech and trim options. The F-Sport handling package, now available on the 350 model, is praised as an excellent addition, making the sportier design more accessible. The 500h powertrain, with 366 horsepower and a 2.4L turbocharged hybrid system, delivers strong performance and a respectable 27 MPG combined, with the reviewer preferring its quieter operation over the 350. The vehicle excels in interior space, particularly in the second and third rows, offering ample legroom and comfort, even for adults in the third row. Cargo capacity is also a highlight, with generous figures when seats are folded. On the downside, the reviewer notes a lack of "bougie" luxury features for its price point, especially the absence of a panoramic moonroof on the tested model, which is available on the Luxury trim. Compared to rivals like the Acura MDX Type S, it skimps on some premium amenities like air suspension and massaging seats. Despite this, its ride quality is exceptional, and Lexus's strong resale value and reliability ratings are significant advantages.
