SMALL CRITIQUES FOR THE 2024 LEXUS TX 500H F SPORT – DM REVIEW | TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Lexus TX 500h F Sport is a competent and well-equipped three-row crossover that Lexus has needed for a long time. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, usable third row, and advanced technology features, including a strong Mark Levinson sound system and improved safety feature calibration compared to previous models. However, the F Sport trim is criticized for its firm ride, attributed to the sport-tuned suspension and 22-inch wheels, which detract from the comfort expected in this segment. The reviewer strongly advises against the F Sport package for this vehicle, suggesting a softer suspension and larger sidewalls would be more appropriate. A significant critique is the vehicle's pricing and its close relation to the Toyota Grand Highlander, which offers a similar powertrain and overall package for considerably less money. Despite these critiques, the reviewer acknowledges the TX's overall quality, smooth hybrid powertrain, and quiet cabin, concluding that it's a good car with minor, albeit important, flaws, particularly concerning the F Sport's ride quality and the value proposition against its Toyota counterpart.
