2027 Lexus TX Release Date: What to Expect in the US – The Lexus TX, Lexus’s spacious three-row luxury crossover SUV introduced for the 2024 model year, continues to serve U.S. families seeking premium comfort, versatile seating, and strong powertrain choices. As of August 2026, details on the 2027 model year point to a carryover design with minimal changes, while a separate all-electric three-row sibling—the Lexus TZ—arrives as a 2027 model.
Here’s what American shoppers need to know about the expected 2027 Lexus TX release date, pricing, powertrains, and how it fits into Lexus’s lineup.
Expected 2027 Lexus TX Release Date
Industry sources estimate the 2027 Lexus TX will arrive at U.S. dealerships in fall 2026. This follows the typical Lexus model-year cadence, matching the timing of recent TX introductions.
No official Lexus press release has confirmed exact on-sale dates or major redesigns for the 2027 TX as of the latest available information. The vehicle remains part of the first-generation TX (debuted for 2024) and is produced exclusively for the North American market at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana.
A mid-cycle refresh has been mentioned in reports for calendar year 2027 (potentially appearing as a late 2027 or 2028 model-year vehicle), but the initial 2027 TX is widely expected to carry over largely unchanged from 2026.
What to Expect: Design and Features?
The 2027 Lexus TX is anticipated to retain the current generation’s bold spindle grille, available F SPORT styling, and roomy three-row cabin that seats six or seven passengers. Key strengths remain generous third-row legroom and strong cargo capacity (approximately 20.2 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding significantly with seats folded).
Minor feature reshuffling or option adjustments are possible, consistent with typical model-year updates. Standard equipment is expected to continue including Lexus Safety System+ (version 3.0 on recent models), a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available luxury touches such as a panoramic glass roof and premium audio.
Interior material quality has drawn some criticism relative to other Lexus models, and no major cabin redesign is confirmed for 2027.
Powertrain Options for the 2027 Lexus TX
Expect continuity with the current lineup, with one notable change:
- TX 350: Turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder producing 275 horsepower. Available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. EPA-estimated around 23 mpg combined.
- TX 500h: Hybrid version of the turbo-four paired with electric motors for approximately 366 horsepower and better efficiency (around 27 mpg combined). Features DIRECT4 all-wheel drive.
The TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid (3.5-liter V6 system with about 404 horsepower and roughly 33 miles of electric range) is not expected for the 2027 model year. Lexus paused production of the TX 550h+ after the 2026 model year. The company initially indicated plans for a return, though later messaging has been less definitive. Remaining 2026 inventory may still be available at dealers.
Shoppers seeking plug-in capability can consider the related RX 450h+ or wait for potential future updates (or the all-electric TZ).
Estimated Pricing for the U.S. Market
Starting MSRP for the 2027 Lexus TX is estimated in the high $50,000s to low $60,000s range (around $58,500–$59,400 before destination and options), reflecting modest year-over-year adjustments typical for the segment. Higher trims, hybrids, and F SPORT packages will push prices significantly higher.
Exact 2027 pricing has not been announced by Lexus and will depend on equipment levels, options, and any minor updates.
Lexus TX vs. the New 2027 Lexus TZ
It is important not to confuse the TX with the all-new 2027 Lexus TZ. The TZ is Lexus’s first three-row all-electric SUV, revealed in May 2026. It is expected to go on sale at the end of 2026 as a 2027 model, with manufacturer-estimated range up to about 300 miles on the larger battery, standard DIRECT4 AWD, and a focus on a refined “Driving Lounge” cabin experience. Pricing is expected to start higher than the TX (around $70,000 range in early estimates).
The TX and TZ are complementary rather than replacements: the TX continues to offer gas and hybrid options for buyers who prefer or need conventional powertrains, while the TZ targets pure-electric three-row luxury shoppers.
Competitors in the U.S. Three-Row Luxury Segment
The 2027 Lexus TX will continue competing with vehicles such as the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, and Mercedes-Benz GLE. Its standout traits remain interior space and the availability of hybrid power in a roomy package.
Should You Wait for the 2027 Lexus TX?
If you need a three-row luxury SUV soon and prefer gas or conventional hybrid power, current 2026 TX inventory (including remaining 550h+ units) offers a proven package available now. Those open to waiting until fall 2026 can expect a near-identical experience with the 2027 model, potentially with small refinements.
For pure electric buyers, the upcoming TZ represents a more significant new entry.
