Compare 2025 Lexus TX 350 vs 2025 Lexus GX 550

Performance

The 2025 Lexus TX 350 is equipped with a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, delivering 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, making it a smooth and efficient choice for everyday driving through downtown Chicago and beyond.

By contrast, the 2025 Lexus GX 550 features a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine producing 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It comes standard with four-wheel drive, and select trims offer serious off-road capability, including Kinetic Dynamic Suspension, terrain management modes, locking rear differential, and all-terrain tires. If you're planning to leave the pavement behind, the GX is your go-to.

Appearance

The Lexus TX 350 boasts a sleek, modern design perfect for city drivers who prioritize luxury and aerodynamics. Smooth body lines and tall panels give it a sophisticated profile, while the front end features sharp LED headlights, a connecting LED light bar, and a bold, layered grille that creates a tech-forward, elegant aesthetic.

The GX 550, on the other hand, is purposefully boxy and aggressive. It's designed for durability with squared-off fenders, prominent body creases, and a wide stance. Its front grille flares outward and is flanked by uniquely styled LED headlights. Whether you're navigating a tight Chicago alley or heading to the lake house, it stands out as a bold, capable machine.

Features

Inside the 2025 Lexus TX 350, you'll enjoy a full suite of luxury and tech features, including driver's memory settings, heated front seats, power-reclining third-row seats, a 14-inch touchscreen display, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a wireless charging pad. Other features include a hands-free liftgate, three-zone climate control, digital key, and premium leather upholstery.

The GX 550 matches many of these amenities and adds more high-end touches for those seeking top-tier comfort. Features include massaging front seats and second-row sunshades for added comfort, a Mark Levinson® 21-speaker sound system for immersive audio, an adjustable tint sunroof, and additional off-road assist features on select trims.

Both models ensure luxury and functionality, but the GX goes a step further for those who want premium craftsmanship with rugged capability.
