Toyota’s Lexus brand is overhauling its three-row TX crossover for the 2027 model year, eliminating the plug-in hybrid option in favor of a lineup featuring only traditional internal combustion engine and hybrid powertrains. The shift reflects a broader industry trend as automakers adjust their electrification strategies, though the TX will retain its spacious three-row seating. Buyers considering the TX will now have to choose between conventional gas or hybrid efficiency, with no plug-in hybrid alternative. The update suggests a focus on refining the existing lineup rather than expanding into new powertrain technologies for this model.
