2024 LEXUS TX 500H F-SPORT: BIG SPACE & BIG POWER, BUT WORTH $78,000??

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Lexus TX 500h F-Sport Performance is presented as a compelling, albeit expensive, option in the three-row luxury SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its aggressive F-Sport styling, spacious interior with comfortable seating in all rows, and a substantial cargo capacity of 97 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. The hybrid powertrain, delivering 366 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, is praised for its strong acceleration and a respectable 27 MPG combined, outperforming the standard 350 model. Key performance enhancements for the F-Sport include adaptive suspension and rear-wheel steering, contributing to a sportier, more engaging driving experience than its Grand Highlander counterpart. The vehicle also boasts impressive quietness, achieving a sound level reading of 50.8 dB and being noted as the quietest midsize luxury three-row tested by the channel. However, the primary drawback is its high price, with the tested model reaching $78,500, which is considered a significant investment. The reviewer also notes the F-Sport exclusively offers a six-passenger captain's chair configuration, meaning the seven-passenger bench seat is unavailable.
