God, that interior design is awful. No character at all. GH interior might even be better than this.

I wonder when the reviews will start hitting. I saw Redline Reviews say theirs will be up 10/11. I was thinking they'd start coming in earlier but I assume there must be an embargo that lifts that day.

Curious to see what people say about how the base engine feels in this versus the GH. And I really want to see some video of that birch interior!

Yes I couldnt agree more. I was expecting oct. 5th but guess I'm wrong lol.

He will say something like the HR-V is a better buy. 🤣

I agree that the interior doesn't stand out but it's not bad imo. Sleek and understated. It totally looks better than GH.

@mikeavelli Can you please do a detailed interior and exterior walkaround of the 550h+? Thanks!

 

[mikeavelli]

It’s obvious the TX and LBX take the downsized and evolved spindle and adds this chrome bar into the headlights and now upside down DRL. Fog lamps are there. No triple LED either. GX spindle is smaller but keeps traditional styling cues.

Curious how this affects new product

 

[DarkSpace6383]

A copper crest lexus TX or GX would be sick

The front end designs of TX and LBX are so similar - I wish TX had the LBX's mesh instead of those horizontal slats.

A TX350h has been confirmed to not happen. It wont get the 2.5 liter hybrid. @mikeavelli if you are able to go to austin texas can you inquire on whether there is any possibility of a normal hybrid v6?

Didn’t get to Austin. I am certain the V-6 will be plug in only. I can ask.

There are a lot of different settings in the TX with Lexus Interface. I show a few below

I'm glad it's better than before for sure but I think they should just hire unreal engine developers to help them design their graphics.
It still looks very dated tbh.

Why the desire for the V6 hybrid? It was in the last gen RX 450h where it posted slightly less fuel efficiency than the RX 500h while being 1.6 seconds slower to 60 and 1.2 seconds slower in the 1/4 mi. I get the desire for the 2.5L hybrid because it would probably return 30-32mpg pretty regularly in the TX, but ultimately those buying a $60k Lexus probably don't care about the fuel cost difference between 27mpg and 31mpg.

With interest in ultimate efficiency on the wane, the original luxury hybrid SUV makes some adjustments.

The fifth-generation RX gets the F Sport Performance treatment, but its dynamic performance is largely one-dimensional.

You can't really quantify it in the specs, but the RX 450h is unexpectedly super fun to drive, much moreso than the other RX powertrains of that generation. It punches well above its weight on that scale, and while I don't think that would translate to the larger and heavier TX I'm sure at least some people asking for it have that in mind.

 

[DarkSpace6383]

Smoothness, power, and the mpg will be about 30 if the plug in is 29 with the added weight.
