There's Good And Bad News About The Toyota Grand Highlander's Luxury Twin

The all-new Lexus TX has just been introduced this year, but it’s already giving it an update, albeit minor, for the 2025 model year. There are good and bad news about the changes for the upcoming year, but we’ll arbitrarily start with the bad. Those who want to get the three-row luxury crossover will have to accept the fact that there will be a price hike across the range.

2024 Lexus TX

Engine: 2.4L Turbo Inline-4 Gas
Horsepower: 275-366 hp
Torque: 317-406 lb-ft
Transmission: 8-speed automatic, 6-speed automatic (hybrid)
Fuel Economy: 27/28/27 mpg (500h AWD) | 21/27/23 mpg (350) | 20/26/23 mpg (350 AWD)

The biggest price increase for the Toyota Grand Highlander’s premium twin is found on the entry-level models, namely the TX 350 and 350 AWD. Both are getting an additional $1,440 for the 2025 model year, which means the TX range will not start at $56,490. Meanwhile, the least price gap is found on the top-spec models, with both the TX 500h F Sport Performance Premium AWD and 500h+ Luxury AWD only showing a $510 hike. That said, the most expensive Lexus TX will start at $78,650. Of note, all the prices mentioned here include the mandatory $1,350 destination and handling fees.

Lexus Gives Two TX SUVs A Touch Of Magic

The Lexus TX is ready for the yellow brick road.

The F Sport Handling grade level includes standard features like Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), Intuitive Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, a Panorama Glass Roof, power-folding third-row seats, and ventilated front seats. On the exterior, it stands out with a distinctive front fascia, rear valance, black roof rails, dark chrome window trim, black side mirrors, and exclusive 22-inch Matte Black wheels. Inside, F Sport styling shines through with a heated leather-trimmed steering wheel, aluminum pedals and scuff plates, and second-row captain’s chairs.

Other Changes For 2025MY

As an all-new model, the changes are expectedly minute. The 12.3-inch multi-information display is now standard among the TX 350 models, while two new hues are being added to the list of paint color options: Wind Chill Pearl and Celestial Silver Metallic. These two are being offered for the first time in a Lexus. Other new colors include Cloudburst Gray, Caviar, Nightfall Mica, and Incognito – the latter is exclusive to the F Sport Handling and F Sport Performance grades. The standard-across-the-lineup Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 is retained, as are the outputs of each powertrain setup.

Lexus didn’t state the availability of the 2025 TX, but at the time of publishing, the outgoing model year that’s available at a slightly lower price is still up for grabs.
