2024 LEXUS TX 550H+ LUXURY | NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Lexus TX 550h+ Luxury is presented as the flagship of the TX line, boasting a premium interior with high-quality materials and a refined feel. Powered by a 3.5L V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, it offers surprisingly brisk acceleration for a three-row family hauler. The reviewer highlights its spaciousness, functional rear seats, and excellent ride quality, aided by active noise cancellation and a stiffened chassis. The seamless hybrid powertrain and well-calibrated driver aids are also praised. However, the vehicle is not without its criticisms. The reviewer finds the $80,000 price tag steep and questions the usability of the steering wheel buttons due to their reliance on the HUD for function. The seats, while comfortable in material and thigh support, are criticized for forcing a hunched posture due to the upper back and headrest design. Ultimately, while acknowledging its strengths as a premium family vehicle, the reviewer personally would not purchase it due to towing limitations and size, but concedes it's a compelling option for its target demographic if the price is acceptable.
