Lexus' all-new TX three-row SUV to be revealed June 8
The premium Japanese automaker showed off the first teasers of the sport-utility's interior late May

Lexus in early May released its first official teaser image for its all-new TX nameplate, a three-row SUV set to join the brand’s lineup of premium offerings, and then late May showed off its interior and gave it an official release date: June 8. The midsize sport-utility, expected to effectively be a premium version of the new Toyota Grand Highlander, will offer prospective buyers a luxury model slightly larger than the RX-L — now discontinued — but smaller than the GX and LX SUVs.
Reports indicate the new SUV will most likely be built on the same TNGA-K platform as the Grand Highlander. While it similarly also come with three rows of seats, the TX will certainly have a more elegant interior, and the newest tech and features from Lexus.

Worth considering is that the most powerful Grand Highlander has a Hybrid Max powertrain with 362 horsepower — it’s probable that some version of this configuration will also be available on the TX, perhaps with an even better output.
The first teaser image shows off the TX’s “floating roof” C-pillar design and a bit of its rear door, wheel arch, and taillight; the second two let us see how its three rows are configured, apparently in a generally monochromatic black colour scheme. The SUV’s June 8 debut lines up with that of the 2024 GX, which should also come with three rows of seating but should boast more off-road chops than the TX. It’s expected the TX will go on sale later in 2023.
