It is not just another family SUV model; the 2024 Lexus TX 500h F-Sport comes directly from the ranks of livery services. Although it can cater to family responsibilities such as mall runs or ferrying kids to baseball practice its forte is moving clients around while offering them comfort.
The Escalade is not your traditional car but a luxury transport vehicle; one can hire it to pick up clients from the airport or teenagers from post-prom events to IHOP.

The Lexus TX 500h, the largest and the longest model within the Lexus lineup is underpinned by TNGA architecture.

It is a 4-liter, 271-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with Toyota’s hybrid system totaling 366 hp.
It may not be the most muscled SUV that one could find but it is capable of doing all it is expected to do. It has front and rear electric motor generators, The Front motor generator is 85 hp and the rear motor generator is 101 hp Power is delivered through a six-speed automatic transaxle to the front wheels.
These are aided by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Such configuration makes it possible for the TX 500h to attain speeds of 60 miles per hour within only 5. Seven seconds and cover the quarter-mile distance in 14. It is 5 seconds, 95 mph.
The Adaptive Variable Suspension also remains, which exclusively forms the F-Sport package and promotes handling where necessary.

Sized at 186 x 72 x 65 inches it indeed boasts 2 cubic ft of space, slightly less than the Cadillac Escalade of ESV proportions. Lexus has been designed to accommodate six people; this makes it spacious enough for people and their items.
As for the Escalade ESV, the number of seats is seven, however, the last row is uncomfortable. The other model, Lexus TX 500h is more luxurious as illustrated in the follow-up section. The naked truth is that Escalade ESV is a larger vehicle and weighs more and therefore its fuel efficiency is slightly inferior to that of its smaller cousin, though these figures remain rather convincing as it gets 14/18/16 mpg city/highway/combined. However, the Lexus is somehow more fuel efficient in city use producing 27 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 27 mpg overall.
Ironically, although some of the clients might be enticed to purchase the Cadillac, the Lexus TX 500h has several advantages.

The starting price of the Lexus TX 500h F Sport Performance Premium AWD and the Cadillac Escalade ESV vary or $69,350 and $86,890 respectively. From this analysis, one can conclude that for a business in need of a car that would help the firm make losses as little as possible, the Lexus is a wiser investment. Five pieces of TX 500h F Sports are cheaper than four Cadillac Escalade ESVs.
It may not stir the heart of a driving enthusiast but the Lexus TX 500h does exactly what is it meant to – shuttle people around in style and comfort with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency. With its large yet opulent interior, coupled with the Carling family’s reported 40mpg, and with its price tag reflecting some $18,000 less than the higher-end Excursion, it is well suited to the livery market.
