The official presentation of the three-row large crossover of the Japanese brand will take place in about a couple of weeks, on June 8.
The American division Toyota Corporation registered a couple of names — Grand Highlander and Lexus TX — a few years ago. Then it became known that they would be given to related large crossovers, the main market for which would be the States. At the same time, the Toyota Grand Highlander has already made its debut: its presentation took place in early February this year. His «brother» Lexus TX will soon come.
The first teaser of Lexus TX
The first teaser for the new Lexus brand was published at the beginning of this month: it depicts part of the sidewall of the future crossover. The TX has its own design: judging by the picture, the model received different taillights and a “floating” roof (due to black pillars). Probably, the front end is decorated in the same style as the latest innovations of the premium brand — the RX SUV and the LM minivan. So the Lexus TX could get a trapezoidal grille with a mosaic pattern.

It is worth noting that the new product will actually take the empty place of the RX L in the brand line, as the new generation SUV « stretched» version was stripped. The company still does not disclose the dimensions of the Lexus TX, recall that the length of the Toyota Grand Highlander is 5116 mm, the width is 1989 mm, the height is 1781 mm, and the distance between the axles is 2946 mm. For comparison, the «deceased» Lexus RX L dimensions were 5000 x 1895 x 1710 mm, wheelbase — 2790 mm.

Now the Japanese manufacturer has released a couple of new teasers for the Lexus TX, this time showing the interior. As expected, the crossover has a three-row interior (like the related Grand). Judging by the picture, the seats are arranged according to the seating formula 2 + 2 + 2, while the second row consists of two separate seats. The interior is finished in dark gray with white stitching. The second image shows the Lexus TX door panel elements, decorated in the current corporate style, as well as part of the front panel with a side ventilation deflector. What the driver's seat and the central controls of the car's systems will turn out to be, we will find out later. Highlander
The Lexus TX will be based on the same modular GA-K platform on which Toyota's sister crossover is based. There is still no official information about the technology of the future Lexus crossover. As Kolesa.ru reported earlier, among the registered trademarks were the designations TX350, TX500h and TX550h +, which means that the model will be offered both with a “traditional” internal combustion engine, and in the form of a “regular” and rechargeable hybrids.
Recall that the Toyota Grand Highlander has a 2.4-liter gasoline turbo engine as the base, its output is 269 hp; it works in tandem with an eight-speed «automatic». Also in the range of the “relative” there is a hybrid, which is based on a “aspirated” with a volume of 2.5 liters, working in tandem with an electric motor and an electromechanical variator; the total power of this installation is 246 hp. At the top version of the Hybrid Max, the system is based on a 2.4 turbo engine, working with an electric motor and a six-speed “automatic”; the total return is 367 hp. Drive Grand Highlander — front or all-wheel drive (depending on the version). Highlander
The company noted that the presentation of the three-row large crossover Lexus TX will be held early next month, June 8th. Most likely, the production of new items will be launched at the Toyota plant in Indiana, where the Grand Highlander is produced, which has not yet entered the market. The TX's competitors are tipped to be a larger crossover of the Bavarian brand — the BMW X7.
