The Lexus TX 500h, priced at $72,650, features nearly everything Lexus offers: all wheel drive, a panoramic sunroof, leather seating with heated and vented front seats, second row captains chairs, customizable ambient lighting, 22” wheels, electric-powered doors that open with the tap of a button sporty interior details.
