Available grades
Seven grades are available for the 2026 model year, including Standard, Premium, Luxury, F SPORT, Handling, F SPORT Performance Premium, and F SPORT Performance Luxury.
Platform
The 2026 Lexus TX builds on the GA-K platform, the same platform the RX and NX are built on. The platform offers optimal weight distribution and facilitates the SUV’s dynamic and agile driving experience. Noise vibration is greatly reduced, thereby contributing to a smooth and serene ride with exceptional comfort.
Powertrain
For the 2026 model year, the Lexus TX is offered in three powertrains to meet customers’ diverse needs.
TX 350 (FWD/AWD)
All 2026 Lexus TX 350s are powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission, which sends power to an available electronically controlled full-time AWD system. For smooth and efficient performance of the engine, several advanced features were added, including a center injection system, lightweight, spherical lipless pistons, and a continuously variable capacity oil pump.
The new TX 350 is available on Standard, Premium, F SPORT Handling, and Luxury grades.
TX 500h F SPORT Performance (DIRECT4 AWD only)
A 2.4-liter turbocharged Parallel Hybrid system producing 366 total system horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque is available for customers who desire more power and performance. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, an integrated Power Control Unit, and a 64-kW motor. A 76-KW eAxle consisting of an inverter and motor provides near-instantaneous power to the rear wheels. The hybrid grade combines DIRECT4 and Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS), resulting in exhilarating acceleration and superb dynamic handling.
Lexus strategically placed the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery beneath the second row to offer additional storage space at the rear.
TX 550h+ (DIRECT4 AWD only)
Sitting at the top of the range for the 2026 model year is the TX 550h+ plugin (PHEV), powered by a combination of a 3.5-liter VL V6 engine and DIRECT4 to deliver 404 total system horsepower. Lexus placed the high-capacity lithium battery beneath the floor outside the cabin, contributing to a lower center of gravity, improved interior space, and a manufacturer-projected estimated EV range rating of 33 miles.
All grades are equipped with a Level 1 vehicle charging cable for 120V outlets and a J1772 socket for at-home and public charging. The new 2026 Lexus TX 550h+ can be fully charged in approximately three hours using the standard seven kW Onboard Charger with a maximum charging current of 240V under ideal conditions.
The new TX 550h+ is available in Luxury grade only.
Suspension system on the 2026 Lexus TX 550
For refined quality, all grades are equipped with MacPherson strut-type front suspension fixed to the GA-K platform. This system reduces the shock and vibration of road imperfections, offering smooth and linear performance. The rear features a five-arm multi-link that facilitates controlled steering reactions.
The F SPORT Handling and F SPORT Performance come standard with Adaptive Variable Suspension, while available on other grades.
Brake and steering
The entry TX 350 features a vacuum brake system for refined braking control. For the TX 500h and 500h+, the brake force is controlled by pressure regulation in the front and rear using a pressure-on-demand system and high-performance pump motor.
Standard on the F SPORT Performance is the Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS), providing impressive maneuverability in low-speed situations and exceptional vehicle stability in high-speed situations. The system turns the rear wheels in the same situations for higher-speed maneuvers. At slower speeds, the rear wheels can seamlessly turn in the opposite direction as the front wheels for seamless maneuverability.
Drive mode select
The Drive Mode Select brings four tailored drive modes, including Normal mode, ECO mode, Sport mode, and Custom mode, for an improved driving experience.
The Normal Mode is tailored to offer a balance of driving performance and fuel efficiency by optimizing the accelerator response. More fuel is saved when the ECO mode is selected, while the Sport mode increases the overall throttle responsiveness, resulting in sporty and responsive acceleration.
A custom mode is also standard across all grades, offering customers an option to create a unique profile for the powertrain, chassis, and air conditioning functions.
Direct4 All-wheel drive technology and Trial Mode
The new 2026 Lexus TX also comes with the DIRECT4 all-wheel drive technology for improved handling, controllability, and feel. This feature is standard on the TX 500h and TX 550h+.
The Trail Mode feature provides integrated control of the AWD, braking, and drive force to minimize wheel slippage when driving on wet or uneven roads. It’s standard on the TX 350 AWD, TX 500h, and TX 550h+.
Exterior design of the 2026 Lexus TX
For the 2026 model year, all grades received a refined front fascia for improved aerodynamics. Aside from its aerodynamic properties, it also cools its brakes. Lexus also equipped all grades with airflow-regulating fins, a roof spoiler, and rear combination lamps.
The rear is characterized by wide flared fenders, which accentuate the vehicle’s track width and strong stance. It still retains its slim signature L-shaped light bar lamp mirrors.
