This Lexus is designed and engineered for suburban family life.

The 2026 Lexus TX is a three-row luxury SUV with nearly as much room inside as a Lincoln Navigator. It's based on the Toyota Grand Highlander, and available as the TX 350 (turbocharged gas), the TX 500h (turbo hybrid), and the TX 550h+ (V6 plug-in hybrid). Changes for the 2026 model year are minor, and include expanded availability of Matador Red paint and a standard panoramic sunroof in the TX plug-in hybrid.

Verdict: We liked the TX 550h+ but the controls are infuriating and the value equation is questionable.

5/10

For 2026, the base non-hybrid TX 350 is available in Standard, Premium, Luxury, and F Sport Handling trim levels. The TX 500h is only available in F Sport Performance spec, and the TX 550h+ comes in Luxury trim only. Prices range from $58,290 to $82,160, including the $1,550 destination charge.

This review is about the TX 550h+ Luxury. Our test vehicle had the Convenience Package, the Technology Package, a 120-volt/1,500-watt power outlet, and several dealer-installed accessories, bringing the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) to $87,409 with destination.

Except for its angry, spindle-grilled face, the Lexus TX has appealing styling, especially when fitted with the 22-inch multispoke wheels on our test vehicle. They’re polished instead of black, which means it's possible to see their intricate design. This year’s new Matador Red paint looks terrific, too, and is a darker and more elegant hue perfectly in keeping with this SUV’s luxury mission.

Inside, the test vehicle had the Birch semi-aniline leather, a light gray providing rich contrast against the otherwise black interior for a premium look and sumptuous feel. A panoramic sunroof is newly standard on the TX 550h+, and the natural light really made the cabin color pop.

Unfortunately, there's too much evidence of the underlying Toyota Grand Highlander on which the TX is based. This is mostly confined to the plastic on the lower third of the interior, but the test vehicle’s center console also flexed too much under pressure, the glovebox door felt cheap and flimsy, and all four doors had trouble closing without a slam. We expect more refinement and a greater sense of solidity at the TX 550h+ Luxury’s price point.
