FIRST DRIVE: The ALL NEW 2024 TX 500h F Sport Performance is here from Lexus. On the outside you will discover special 22in wheels, black accents and rear-wheel-steer. On the inside you will be greeted by 3-row space, 12.3in digital gauge cluster and 14in infotainment system. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 paired with an electric motor and mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Lexus TX 500h F Sport a BETTER midsize SUV than an Acura MDX Type S?

You on throttled that car rite into the solid lines merging into the freeway while cutting that other car off ever so elegantly just like I do in my Lexus RCF . Evidence @ 24:30 I rest my case your honor. 😮😅😂 On a real note Joe I appreciate your review and in my opinion this TX being more family oriented for comfort and versatility over the new GX I’m wondering why the GX is the only one that you can option the center console with a cooler for drinks on road trips . If this TX had the cooler I’d like it that much more as picky as that sounds. I also wish it had optional media screens in the rear like a Grand Cherokee offers . It would make a huge difference .
