2026 TX 500h F SPORT Performance Specs
Specs and Features on the 2026 Lexus TX 500h F SPORT Performance in Utica, MI
The 2026 Lexus TX 500h F SPORT Performance delivers something rare in the three-row SUV space: real performance with real usability. Available at Meade Lexus of Lakeside in Utica, MI, this model pairs a turbocharged hybrid system with DIRECT4 all-wheel drive and F SPORT chassis tuning. The result is a six-passenger SUV that feels composed, responsive, and genuinely engaging to drive.
Shoppers can choose between two trims, the 500h F SPORT Performance Premium and 500h F SPORT Performance Luxury. Both focus on performance and driver engagement, but the Luxury trim adds additional refinement and upscale interior materials. Compared to other three-row luxury SUVs, the TX 500h F SPORT Performance stands out by combining hybrid efficiency with sharper handling and a driver-focused layout.
Interior Comfort Designed Around Real Passengers
The TX 500h F SPORT Performance is built for six passengers with second-row captain’s chairs, creating a more open and accessible cabin. Passenger space is well-balanced across all three rows, and the third row is usable for adults on shorter trips.
Interior dimensions include:
- Front legroom: 41.6 inches
- Second-row legroom: 39.5 inches
- Third-row legroom: 33.5 inches
- Maximum cargo space: 97 cubic feet
- Cargo space behind third row: 20.2 cubic feet
A 50/50 split power-reclining third row adds flexibility when switching between passenger and cargo needs.
Comfort Features that Support Daily Driving
The cabin is built around long-distance comfort and convenience, with supportive seating and climate control that works across all rows.
Key comfort features include:

Premium Materials and Trim Differences
Material quality is where the trims begin to separate. The Premium trim uses NuLuxe-trimmed seating in Birch or Black, while the Luxury trim upgrades to leather-trimmed seating. Both trims feature Black Grained interior accents and ambient lighting to enhance the cabin environment.
Exterior Styling with a Performance Focus
The TX 500h F SPORT Performance uses a clean but aggressive design approach that emphasizes width and stance without overcomplicating the shape.

- Rain-sensing windshield wipers
- Power rear door with kick sensor
The design is reinforced by F SPORT-specific elements, including a unique front fascia, rear valance, and front-fender badging.
Wheels and Trim Enhancements
Every TX 500h F SPORT Performance rides on 22-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with a Dark Gray and Black finish. This setup gives the SUV a planted look and complements its performance intent.
The Luxury trim adds a panorama glass roof and aluminum roof rails, which bring more light into the cabin and expand its visual presence.
Exterior Color Options

- Nightfall Mica
- Wind Chill Pearl
- Caviar
