Performance & Specs
The driving experience of the 2026 Lexus TX is defined by smooth power delivery, quiet acceleration, and well-balanced control, making it comfortable in daily traffic and poised on longer highway trips. The TX 350 uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts effortlessly during both relaxed cruising and brisk merging. Front-wheel drive comes standard, with all-wheel drive available for added stability during wet conditions and mountain travel.
For drivers who want a blend of power and fuel-saving efficiency, the TX 500h F SPORT Performance introduces a hybrid system that increases total output to 366 horsepower. The result is stronger acceleration with a particularly refined feel. DIRECT4 all-wheel drive and Dynamic Rear Steering enhance stability and agility, allowing the vehicle to feel more responsive in city driving and more composed on the freeway.
At the top of the range, the TX 550h+ pairs a V6 engine with a plug-in hybrid electric system producing 404 horsepower and offering an estimated 33 miles of electric-only driving. This allows most local daily errands throughout Riverside and neighboring communities to be completed without gasoline, while still providing seamless hybrid power for longer trips.
Capability
The TX was engineered to feel stable and serene in motion. Its GA-K platform reduces road vibration and enhances steering precision so the vehicle remains composed even during quick maneuvers or uneven road surfaces. Trail Mode is available on AWD models and intelligently manages power to maintain traction during light off-pavement travel, which is ideal for campsites, scenic overlooks, and winter road conditions.
When properly equipped, the TX can tow up to 5,000 pounds, allowing families to tow compact trailers, jet skis, or adventure gear.
This capability, paired with its spacious interior and refined ride, makes the TX well-suited for weekend destinations across Southern California, from Big Bear to Palm Springs.
Interior
The interior of the 2026 Lexus TX is intentionally quiet, spacious, and deeply comfortable. Every row offers supportive seating with generous leg and headroom, making long drives easier for passengers of all ages. The second row can be configured with either captain's chairs for a more elevated, open layout or a bench for maximum seven-person seating flexibility. When equipped with captain's chairs, heated and ventilated functions are available to make the cabin feel consistently relaxing.
Material quality plays a central role in the TX experience. Upholstery options range from NuLuxe® synthetic leather in the TX 350 models to semi-aniline leather in the Luxury and plug-in hybrid trims. The Blackwood trim finish and ambient lighting contribute to a warm atmosphere that feels premium without appearing over-styled.
Cargo versatility is one of the TX's defining strengths: 20.2 cubic feet of storage sits behind the third row, ideal for daily errands. Folding down the third row expands capacity to 57.4 cubic feet, and folding the second row opens up a generous 97 cubic feet of total space.
For family travel near Riverside, Apple Valley, Beaumont, and Fontana, this adaptability is genuinely useful.
Exterior
The exterior design of the 2026 TX is modern and sculpted, with a cohesive Lexus identity defined by the Unified Spindle Body. The front fascia flows smoothly into the hood and windshield, improving aerodynamics and presenting a confident, streamlined appearance. A full-width LED light bar runs across the rear, giving the TX a distinctive look day or night.
Wheel designs range from refined 20-inch alloy wheels on TX 350 models to larger, more expressive 22-inch wheels on TX 350 Luxury and TX 550h+ designs. For 2026, Matador Red Mica joins the palette of exterior finishes, adding a vibrant option that pairs particularly well with the SUV's sculpted contours.
Technology & Safety
Every TX is equipped with the modern Lexus Interface system, displayed on a vivid 14-inch touchscreen that responds smoothly to touch and voice inputs. Cloud Navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, wireless charging, and up to seven USB-C ports ensure seamless connectivity for every passenger.
Safety is elevated through Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which includes Road Sign Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and Pre-Collision System enhancements designed to support the driver's awareness and confidence. Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert assist during lane changes and reversing, particularly helpful in busy parking lots throughout Riverside.
TX 350
The TX 350 establishes the foundation of the lineup with smooth turbocharged performance and a serene cabin experience. Heated front seats, the 14-inch Lexus Interface system, and customizable drive modes support everyday comfort and ease. For drivers who value refinement without unnecessary complexity, the TX 350 is a balanced and confident place to begin.
TX 350 Premium
The TX 350 Premium builds on the foundation of the TX 350 with added creature comforts designed to elevate daily driving. Ventilated front seats help maintain comfort year-round in Riverside’s warm climate, while the power-reclining third row enhances flexibility for passengers and cargo. The driving experience remains smooth and quiet, making this trim an excellent fit for families who want practicality with just a bit more luxury.
TX 350 Luxury
The TX 350 Luxury heightens sophistication with semi-aniline leather upholstery and heated second-row seating that enhances long-range comfort.

Inside, bolstered seating and exclusive trim accents create a distinctly performance-driven atmosphere without compromising long-distance comfort.
TX 500h F Sport Performance Premium
The TX 500h F SPORT Performance Premium introduces a hybrid powertrain that blends efficiency with greater performance capability. DIRECT4 all-wheel drive and Dynamic Rear Steering deliver sharper cornering and improved control, allowing the SUV to feel remarkably composed for its size. Enhanced interior features and F SPORT touches help the cabin feel both modern and purpose-built, appealing to drivers who want performance with refinement.
TX 500h F Sport Performance Luxury

TX 550h+ Luxury
The TX 550h+ Luxury stands at the top of the lineup as the most advanced and versatile expression of the TX philosophy. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain allows many daily drives around Riverside and neighboring communities to be completed on electric power alone, making it efficient and quiet in everyday use. Yet, when needed, the V6 hybrid system provides strong reserves of acceleration for highway travel. The interior is finished with premium materials and thoughtful design touches that make every row feel comfortable and well-appointed.
