The Lexus TX was a new addition to the Lexus lineup for 2024, and for the mid-size three-row SUV’s second year on sale, Lexus has a new F Sport Handling trim available exclusively on the TX 350.

As the name suggests, the F Sport Handling trim helps sharpen the handling of the TX with the base drivetrain, in this case a 2.4-liter turbo-4 with an output of 275 hp.

The trim comes with a set of active dampers that were previously limited to more expensive models, plus exclusive 22 inch wheels with a matte black finish and all-wheel drive. The dampers respond based on various metrics, such as g-force, yaw rate and current speed, as well as which driving mode is selected.

The F Sport Handling trim also features features that enhance the car’s appearance and make the interior more comfortable. Items include unique front and rear fascias, dark accents for the roof rails, window trim and side mirrors, plus a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum pedals and scuff plates, and second-row captain’s chairs.

For buyers looking for more performance, Lexus offers more powerful TX 500h hybrid and TX 500h+ plug-in hybrid models. The TX 500h comes with the 2.4-liter turbo-4 from the TX 350, combined with a pair of engines for a total power of 366 hp. One of the motors drives the rear axle, creating four-wheel drive. The TX 500h comes standard with all-wheel drive and an F Sport Performance trim, which offers similar upgrades to the F Sport Handling trim.

The most powerful TX is the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid, which features a 3.5-liter V-6 paired with three electric motors for a combined power of 404 hp. The TX 550h+, which also has electrified all-wheel drive, is offered exclusively with the Luxury version.
