The TX was revealed on June 8, 2023 as part of Toyota's GA-K platform dedicated to mid-size and full-size vehicles with either a front- or all-wheel drive layout configuration. The new platform offers a low center of gravity and optimal weight distribution. To improve performance, enhancements were made to strengthen the TX's body rigidity and minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).[11] Welds and adhesives are featured to increase the vehicle’s joint strength and rigidity through the main framework components of the chassis. The TX introduces a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear multi-link suspension, as well as widened front and rear tracks.[11]
The TX is available in six- and seven-seat configurations. The second row has either a 60:40 split-folding bench or captain's chairs, while the third row has a 50:50 split bench.[12] Depending on the trim level and powertrain choice, the outboard second row seats can include heating and ventilation.
Four trim levels are available: Base, Premium, Luxury, and F Sport Handling.[13][14] The TX 350 is available in all four trim levels. The TX 500h is available in the Premium and Luxury trims, and the TX 550h+ is exclusively available in the Luxury trim.
