2024 Tx Hybrid sport
Overall, I am pleased with the vehicle. I bought a brand new. Very nice ride plenty of power plenty of room. Negative is that the sticker said 27 or 28 miles per gallon but it actually only gets 24 or 25.
June 21 Recall Changes Things
I previously rated this car 5 stars. But, on June 21, 2024, a recall was put on the TX, and its Toyota cousin, the Toyota Grand Highlander. As such, the sales of these vehicles have been suspended by the US government, and the production has ceased. Whatever vehicles that have already been produced will have to be fixed, and will be flooding the market toward the end of 2024, when the 2025 models come out. This will mean that anyone who has bought these cars so far will be undercut by the ensuing price slashing of the 2024 models.

Great family car for long road trips
We just bought the 500h in luxury and couldn't be more happier. We love the power of the engine, the quietness on the road and the composure that this vehicle has in turning. My daughter loves the third row as she tends to lie there during the trips, my wife is a happy camper with this vehicle, and so am I. At first I was interested in the GX but after considering that options we chose the TX as we are not much of an off-roaders, we tend to do road trips and spend 99% of the time on highways, so this vehicle is good for that. As well unlike the GX and LX this has a good amount of space in the back which is great to add bags and what not without sacrificing the third row. Now this review has just come from the first road trip I did, from NYC to Burlington Vermont and she handled amazing. Also, I did not feel no rattling as other mentioned but granted it's still relative new, so It feels solid for me. The technology I'm okay with it and used to it since my wife has an NX and we have no problem with the head up display nor the door handle. One thing that the TX does not have is a nob to change the modes from normal to sport, but I added the function on the head up display on the right side, all good with that. In the end the seats are good for my family however they are more tight and I guess a bigger person would not feel as comfortable on the driver's side. Other than that this vehicle fits all our families need and we are happy with the purchase, and yes it's expensive but for our family it's worth it.

Disappointing Lexus TX550h+ Plug-in Hybrid
Ownership: 1+ month Model Year: 2025 Trim: Lexus TX550h+ Plug-in Hybrid Use Case: Family SUV, Daily Commuting 🔍 Overview The 2025 Lexus TX550h+ was positioned as a spacious, efficient, and luxurious plug-in hybrid SUV. While it delivers on some aspects of comfort and fuel economy, significant shortcomings in performance, reliability, dealer support, and value quickly became apparent. This vehicle ultimately fails to live up to Lexus’s premium brand expectations. ✅ Positives Spacious and versatile interior with adult-friendly third-row seating Excellent cabin materials and a generally quiet ride in normal conditions Smooth suspension and ride comfort on highways and city roads Good hybrid fuel economy and decent electric-only range Helpful tech features like a clear head-up display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Dynamic Cruise Control (when functioning properly) ❌ Negatives 🔧 Quality Control Issues A critical manufacturing flaw: a missing exhaust valve triggered the check engine light on Day 1. Vehicle was out of commission for two days while awaiting parts. Lexus admitted fault and issued $1,000 in service credits, but refused to provide an extended warranty, raising concerns about what else might be missing or overlooked. 🏎️ Underwhelming Performance The V6 engine is noisy, especially during acceleration. Pickup is sluggish, especially for a vehicle of this size and price. Braking is soft and uninspiring — not confidence-inspiring. Handling lacks precision, especially compared to similarly priced models from BMW and Volvo. ❗ Poor Driving Assist and Tech Reliability Lane Keep Assist is inconsistent and often fails to detect lines, especially on curves or older roads. Park Assist is buggy and unreliable, frequently failing to recognize or complete parking maneuvers. These features feel beta-stage at best, not ready for a premium vehicle. ⚡ Slow Charging Level 2 (240V): Takes 3–4 hours to charge Level 1 (120V, included): Takes 13–14 hours, making it nearly unusable for daily EV-only use For a modern plug-in hybrid, these times are significantly behind competitors 🚫 Missing Features No sunroof or moonroof, which is a surprising omission in a nearly $90K luxury SUV Feels like a Toyota Grand Highlander with leather and Lexus badging, not a vehicle designed from the ground up as a Lexus product ⚙️ Disappointing Convenience Features Park Assist is ineffective and doesn't function reliably in most parking lots Lane Assist fails regularly — not suitable for active driving environments Dynamic Cruise Control works well on highways but lags and hesitates in stop-and-go traffic In-vehicle software and menus are laggy and less intuitive than competitors Charging port location and cable management are awkward No physical climate or volume controls, making common tasks more distracting while driving 🏢 Dealer Experience Waited 5 months for delivery with no proactive communication Dealer declined to offer a test drive, citing recall issues on 2024 units At pickup, I was pressured to close the deal quickly due to high demand Leasing terms were overpriced, and add-ons were included without clear approval 📌 Final Verdict: Not Recommended Despite initial promise, the Lexus TX550h+ fails to meet luxury SUV expectations across too many critical areas. In hindsight, I might have avoided this vehicle altogether — the 2024 version had multiple recalls, and the dealer refused to offer a test drive for that reason. That should have been a red flag. Spending close to $90,000 on a vehicle that delivers such a lackluster experience, especially in performance, tech, and quality, is a regrettable decision. ❗ Bottom Line: This SUV is overpriced, underdelivering, and poorly supported. Lexus has diluted its premium image with what feels like a rebadged Toyota at a luxury price tag. Not recommended

Great but a few technology problems
Quiet-smooth ride. Lots of get up and go power. Turns on a dime. All buttons are where they need to be. Easy to understand the technology. Cons: gas gauge is way off indicating needing gas with 7 gallons in the tank. The vehicle can’t figure easily my iPhone to my wive’s. Takes multiple tries to get it connected to the right phone. Safety features such as lane departure, adaptive cruise control are way TOO sensitive. To a point we turn them off.
