Interior Comfort
We love the third-row seating and interior features of the 2024 Lexus TX. It can comfortably seat six with the optional row of captain’s chairs. The second-row bench seat configuration can seat up to seven passengers across the three rows. Power-folding and sliding doors make it easy to gain access to the back rows. Seating aside, Lexus has also thoughtfully designed this SUV for families. It caters to all passengers regardless of whether they sit in the front or the rear.
The interior adds a pop of luxury to this functional carrier, coming in three different color schemes: birch, peppercorn, and black. Every row has its specific storage space, and cargo space is generous, making it the ideal car for longer journeys. You’ll find 20.2 cubic feet behind the third row or up to 97 cubic feet with the back rows folded. Other luxuries include a power-adjustable steering column, heated front seats, and mood lighting. Opt for the available leather upholstery, ventilated seats, and heated steering wheel for that little extra.
Features and Technology
The TX is the ideal daily driver for getting around San Jose and features intuitive and user-friendly technology. The cabin has three power outlets and seven USB ports, providing charging and connectivity for all. Regardless of trim, each SUV comes with a responsive 14-inch infotainment display. It provides over-the-air updates and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The infotainment system pairs with a 12.3-inch digital gauge display. Other features include an in-dash navigation system, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and an available head-up display. Opt for the 21-inch Mark Levinson premium surround-sound stereo system if you want to pump music on your drives.

It includes advanced driver-assistance features to keep you safe on the road, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and pedestrian detection. It also boasts an advanced driving-assistance system that alerts you if a person or object gets too close.
