The Japanese manufacturer Lexus presented the TX model 2026 sports utility vehicle. The vehicle arrives on the automotive market with three rows of seats and the capacity to accommodate up to seven passengers in comfort. The automaker directs initial sales exclusively to the América of the Norte. Consumidores and Japão show strong interest in importing large automobiles. The design replaces the old elongated versions of the RX line and delivers a substantially wider cabin.
The car’s construction uses the company’s global architecture to optimize drivability. Engenheiros developed the chassis focused on supporting long trips with large families. The model solves the historical problem of lack of space in the last row of seats. Especialistas from the sector evaluate the viability of the utility on urban roads in different countries. The commercial strategy reflects the growing demand for premium family cars.
Plataforma GA-K guarantees internal space and thermal comfort
The automaker based the sport utility vehicle on the GA-K modular platform. The structure provides high torsional rigidity and reduces the car’s center of gravity. The exterior design abandons the traditional grille in favor of an aerodynamic shape integrated directly into the bodywork. The change improves engine cooling and reduces aerodynamic drag on high-speed highways. Faróis LED lights with automatic leveling make up the vehicle’s front lighting system.
The car’s interior prioritizes ergonomics and well-being for all occupants. The trunk offers 20.2 cubic feet of usable volume even with all seats in the use position. Folding the third row substantially expands cargo capacity for transporting bulky luggage. Portas rear seats with large opening angle facilitate daily access to the back seats. Reinforced sound insulation blocks external noise and creates a quiet environment in the cabin when traveling. The air conditioning system has multiple independent temperature zones.
Opções powertrain includes hybrid and plug-in system
The 2026 line features three different mechanical configurations to suit different driver profiles. The brand’s engineering focused on energy efficiency without compromising performance on the road. The portfolio eliminates older design engines and adopts modern propellants with direct fuel injection. The transition follows global demands for lower pollutant emission rates.
- TX 350: Motor 2.4-liter turbo with 275 horsepower and eight-speed automatic transmission.
- TX 500h: Sistema hybrid with 2.4 turbo engine exclusive to the F Sport Performance sports version.
- TX 550h+: Conjunto plug-in hybrid equipped with 3.5-liter V6 engine and extended electric range.
The entry-level version delivers enough strength for safe overtaking on slopes. The intermediate model combines intelligent all-wheel drive and quick responses on the accelerator pedal. The top-of-the-line option represents the pinnacle of the Japanese automaker’s current electrification technology. The plug-in system allows short urban trips using only the energy stored in high-capacity batteries. The driver selects driving modes using a rotary selector located on the center console.
Onboard Tecnologia features 14-inch screen and connectivity
The instrument panel houses an advanced multimedia center with a 14-inch touchscreen. The equipment processes natural voice commands and integrates navigation systems updated in real time via satellite. Connection to smartphones occurs without the need for physical cables. The center console features spacious modular compartments and fast-charging USB ports distributed across all rows of seats. The digital interface receives remote software updates periodically.
Superior Modeloss receive the brand’s premium Mark Levinson sound system. The audio set has multiple speakers spread strategically throughout the cabin. Active noise cancellation technology emits sound frequencies that cancel out wind and tire noise. The digital dashboard behind the steering wheel displays crucial trip information and preventative maintenance alerts. The interior rearview mirror uses a rear camera to project clear images even with the trunk filled to the ceiling.
Active safety Pacote monitors traffic and prevents collisions
The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 package equips all versions of the sport utility vehicle from the factory. The technological suite includes autonomous emergency braking and accurate pedestrian detection at busy intersections. The lane keeping assistant automatically corrects the steering wheel trajectory if the driver becomes distracted. Adaptive cruise control maintains a programmed and safe distance to the car ahead. The system’s artificial intelligence constantly analyzes traffic behavior.
Sensores long-range side monitors monitor the vehicle’s blind spots. The system issues visual and audible alerts about approaching cyclists or motorcyclists when opening doors on public roads. High-resolution Câmeras forms a 360-degree panoramic view around the car. The feature facilitates parking maneuvers in tight spaces in shopping centers. Driver fatigue monitoring suggests rest breaks after long periods of uninterrupted driving.
Preços in Estados Unidos and expectations for the Japanese market
North American dealerships sell the sport utility vehicle in different price and finish ranges. The TX 350 model has a starting value of US$57,090 on the Estados Unidos market. The TX 500h configuration starts at US$70,610 at the brand’s official stores. The TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid version reaches the mark of US$80,960 without including state taxes. The consumer adds luxury option packages that increase the final cost of the car considerably. The factory warranty covers major mechanical components for a full four years.
The company’s management maintains a strategic focus on sales for the Estados Unidos and Canadá. The parent company at Japão has not confirmed the official sale of the vehicle in the Asian domestic market. The car’s large dimensions make it difficult to navigate the narrow streets of traditional Japanese cities on a daily basis. Fóruns of automotive enthusiasts debate the possibility of independent import of the model via alternative routes. The manufacturer is studying the technical feasibility of adapting the utility vehicle to meet strict local traffic regulations in the future.
