Lexus TX: Buy Score, Reliability & Ownership Costs
Luxury 3-Row SUV · SUV
Our Verdict
Based on Lexus's brand-level reliability data, ownership costs, and longevity signals.
Buy Score™
Pros
- Three distinct powertrains — gas, hybrid, and PHEV — with the 550h+ PHEV offering up to 33 miles of EV-only range
- Genuine 3-row/6-7-seat practicality in a Lexus-badged SUV, filling a gap the RX and GX don't cover
- Lexus's broader brand reliability reputation (7th of 32 brands) as a backing signal
- Standard adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring across the lineup
Cons
- Too new for a model-specific RepairPal score or an established high-mileage track record
- No confirmed 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick award found for this nameplate at the time of writing
- No hard 5-year depreciation data exists yet — the ownership-cost figures above are estimates, not a sourced statistic
- Among the most expensive 3-row SUVs in this research at the top trims
Can this car reach 300,000 miles?
Unlikely
The TX is one of Lexus's newest nameplates (introduced for MY2024), so it doesn't yet have a model-specific RepairPal score or an established high-mileage track record — this leans on Lexus's overall brand reliability rating (4.0/5.0, 7th of 32 brands) rather than TX-specific data.
First-Time Buyer Friendly
40/100Livable, but the complexity or running costs here reward buyers who already have some ownership experience.

What It Actually Costs to Own
No TX-specific depreciation figure exists yet given how new the nameplate is — this is a directional estimate based on comparable 3-row luxury SUVs. The 550h+ PHEV's ~33-mile EV range offers the best running-cost story in the lineup.

Check for open recalls before you buy
We don't yet have a live recall feed wired up for the Lexus TX, so we won't guess at a number here. Before you buy any specific TX, run its VIN throughNHTSA's free recall lookup tool— it takes about 30 seconds and confirms whether that exact vehicle has any open, unrepaired safety recalls.
