Model profile

Model history and generations

From launch to today

The TX is new, introduced in mid-2023 as a 2024 model to replace the stretched RX L in the Lexus line-up. It sits on Toyota's TNGA-K platform and shares its underpinnings and much of its hardware with the Toyota Grand Highlander, built alongside it at Toyota's Princeton, Indiana plant.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

Engines and drivetrain in detail

The TX offers three powertrains. The TX 350 uses a 2.4-litre turbocharged four (the T24A-FTS) making around 275 hp, driving through an eight-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Trim levels and variants

The TX is a single three-row SUV body offered in Premium, Luxury and F Sport-flavoured configurations depending on powertrain. Expect a large 14-inch touchscreen, a panoramic roof, three rows seating six or seven, and the option of captain's chairs in the second row.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

Used availability in the USA

Because the TX is recent, the used market is made up of clean, low-mileage cars — typically well under 40,000 miles — often still carrying much of their original equipment appeal.

When importing makes sense

A used Lexus TX import makes sense if you specifically want a three-row Lexus that Germany never received, prefer the plug-in 550h+ for its electric commuting range, or value the Toyota/Lexus reputation for durability in a large family SUV.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Reliability and common problems

The TX is too new for a long field record, so any honest assessment leans on its architecture. It shares the TNGA-K platform and much of its hardware with the Toyota Grand Highlander and the wider Toyota hybrid family, which has an excellent reliability reputation and a mature, well-proven hybrid system.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

How US versions differ

Because the TX was never sold in Europe, there is no local equivalent to compare against — importing is the point.

From US purchase to registration

The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.

TÜV, approval and license plates

Adaptation for a US TX typically means fitting or activating a rear fog lamp, coding the instrument cluster to km/h, adjusting the headlights to the European beam pattern, and addressing side-marker function.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Was the Lexus TX ever sold in Europe?

No. The TX was not offered through official European channels, so importing a used example from the USA is effectively the only way to own one in Germany.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

Which TX powertrain is best to import?

The TX 350 is the value choice, the 500h adds hybrid performance, and the 550h+ plug-in offers electric-only commuting. Your priorities on efficiency versus performance decide it.

Is the TX reliable?

It is new, but built on Toyota's proven TNGA-K platform and mature hybrid technology. Buy one with full service records and any campaigns completed.

Will the plug-in charge in Germany?

Yes, with the right cable or adapter. The US AC inlet is J1772, so a Type 2-compatible solution is arranged as part of the import.

Do US cars have a rear fog lamp?

Usually not; fitting or activating one is a standard TÜV adaptation item.

How long does shipping take?

Ocean freight typically runs three to six weeks, plus US inland transport, customs clearance and approval.

Can I service a TX in Germany?

Yes. It shares much of its mechanical package with Toyota models, and independent and specialist workshops can maintain it.
