In September 2020, Lexus officially registered the TX 350 and TX 500h model names with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and announced the launch of a new SUV. In July 2021, more new car information revealed by foreign media was also revealed, and the TX car series is expected to be positioned between the RX and LX car series, which is expected to be developed on the basis of the current Toyota Highlander car series, and may also replace the current GX car series as a new SUV product in the Lexus brand.
Recently, according to the latest foreign media reports, due to the RX series that will be launched in the third quarter of 2022, it is expected that the RX L model with three row seat settings will no longer be available, so the launch of the TX series will also replace the 7-seat luxury SUV market dominated by the current RX L.
Although the original factory did not disclose the relevant new car information of the TX series, according to foreign media reports, according to its registered TX 350 and TX 500h model naming methods, compared with the current Lexus brand model name settings, it can be estimated that the TX 350 will use the 2.4-liter direct injection four-cylinder gasoline turbo powered for the first time in the new generation of NX 350 models, and with 8-speed hand automatic and four-wheel drive.
Regarding the TX 500h part, it is expected to adopt the new gasoline power setting of the 2.4-liter gasoline turbine and electric motor that is the first in the series. Recently, Lexus has officially registered the TX 550h+ model name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and according to the current NX 450h+ naming method, the TX 550h+ has a high probability of using a 2.4-liter turbo plug-in hybrid, and it is estimated that the maximum horsepower output will reach the level of 350 to 400 horses, becoming the top performance flagship model in the car series.
