Serving Chicago, IL

The 2025 Lexus TX 350 and 2025 Lexus GX 550 bring two distinct flavors to the luxury SUV market in Chicago, IL. While both offer three rows of comfort and cutting-edge technology, the TX 350 is aimed at families seeking elegance and practicality, while the GX 550 is engineered for rugged, off-road-ready performance with a luxury twist. So, which one fits your driving lifestyle?

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.
