2027 Lexus TX Returns Starting at $58,890, But No More Plug-In Hybrid

Lexus is keeping things simple for its family-hauling three-row crossover. For 2027, the Lexus TX carries into the new model year with a streamlined powertrain lineup, minor exterior styling tweaks, and a starting price of $58,890 (which includes the $1,550 delivery, processing, and handling fee).

The headline change for 2027 is the quiet departure of the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid (PHEV). That leaves the TX lineup anchored by two distinct options: the pure-gas TX 350 and the performance-focused TX 500h hybrid.

What's New for the 2027 Lexus TX

Beyond losing the plug-in option, the updates across the 2027 TX lineup center on subtle cosmetic and hardware refinements:

• TX 500h Badging: Hybrid models drop the "DIRECT4" rear tailgate badging used previously in favor of standard "AWD" badges.
• Red Brake Calipers: F SPORT models now offer optional red-painted brake calipers for a bit more visual punch behind the wheels.
• 350 Premium Wheels: The 20-inch aluminum wheels on the TX 350 Premium grade adopt a darker gray finish.
• Color Options: Matador Red Mica returns as an exterior color option exclusively for non-F SPORT models.
• Braking Adjustments: Gas-powered TX 350 models receive revised vacuum brake booster tuning and minor tweaks to the brake hold feature.

Powertrain Breakdown

Riding on Toyota's GA-K platform—which also underpins the RX and NX—the 2027 TX continues to emphasize Lexus Driving Signature fundamentals with its stiffened body structure and multi-link rear suspension setup.

• TX 350 (FWD / AWD): The bread-and-butter TX 350 uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four making 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Power routes through an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while the available full-time electronic AWD system continuously shifts torque split between 75:25 and 50:50 depending on traction demands. The TX 350 is available across Standard, Premium, Luxury, and F SPORT Handling grades.

• TX 500h F SPORT Performance (AWD Only): For buyers wanting more punch, the TX 500h pairs the 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder with a parallel hybrid system, a six-speed automatic, and a rear eAxle motor. Total system output bumps to 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Equipped standard with Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) and DIRECT4 all-wheel drive, the TX 500h is offered strictly in F SPORT Performance Premium and F SPORT Performance Luxury trims.
