00:00Welcome to our latest video from Tuning Blog, where we take a closer look at the impressive
00:11Lexus 500 HF Sport. This vehicle has firmly established itself in the hearts of car
00:19enthusiasts since its national debut last fall, and for good reason.
00:23The Lexus 500 HF Sport is the perfect answer for families looking for a spacious three-row SUV
00:31that not only offers space for everyone, but also features a grown-up third row of seats that are
00:36easily accessible. With thoughtful touches like numerous USB ports and luxurious features like
00:46power-adjustable leather seats, the Texas sets new standards in the Lexus lineup and increases
00:51competition in this highly profitable segment. But the Lexus TX500H Sport is far more than just an
01:00economical hybrid. Lexus has taken the opportunity to combine its hybrid technology with a turbocharged
01:07four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 366 horsepower. This power output is enough to
01:17bear the coveted F-Sport badge and also includes F-Sport suspension tuning, rear-wheel steering,
01:22all-wheel drive and numerous design accents that underline the sporty appearance.
01:30The combination of hybrid drive and turbo technology ensures not only powerful performance
01:34but also remarkable efficiency, making the TX500HF Sport a standout in its class.
01:40In recent years, Toyota has successfully used hybrid technology to increase both fuel efficiency and
01:50performance. The company's systems make it possible to generate more horsepower while
01:57achieving impressive fuel consumption figures. That's precisely the concept behind the Lexus TX500H.
02:04With a starting price of around €65,385, the TX500HF Sport is the sportiest variant in the TX range,
02:14without sacrificing almost anything that Lexus has to offer.
02:20All-wheel drive, a panoramic sunroof, leather seats with heated and ventilated front seats,
02:26second-row captain's chairs, customizable ambient lighting, 22-inch wheels, and power doors that open
02:32at the touch of a button are standard. There are only a few additional packages available for buyers
02:39of the TX500HF Sport. For around €2,038, a digital rear-view mirror, surround-view camera,
02:47head-up display, and parking assistance can be added. Alternatively, a digital key, traffic jam warning,
02:55and cross-traffic alert can be added for around €720.

03:07Performance is a key feature of luxury vehicles, with the challenge being to combine the power on
03:11offer with a high level of ride quality and a quiet interior. This is where the Lexus TX500H shines.
03:19The 3HC66 horsepower system offers powerful performance, which is particularly noticeable in
03:25sport mode. At the same time, the hybrid system ensures that the vehicle drives quietly and
03:31relaxed when required. Leather and soft-touch materials provide additional insulation in
03:36the interior and reduce external noise to a minimum. This keeps the noise level in the vehicle pleasantly
03:42low. Whether it's the gentle hum of the air conditioning, the high-quality Mark Levinson sound
03:48system or even the quietest conversation that remains clearly audible.
03:53The Lexus TX500H also has a lot to offer in terms of technology, which is another hallmark of true
03:59luxury vehicles. On the road, the Lexus TX500 presents itself powerfully and confidently.
04:07Accelerates effortlessly and quietly, while the suspension masters corners with precision and
04:12agility. In sport mode, this dynamic is further enhanced, ensuring that there is no disappointment.
04:19The key to the driving experience in the Lexus TX500HF Sport is the sport mode, which can be
04:25activated in various ways. Tapping the car symbol on the multimedia screen takes you to the driving
04:32modes, which are displayed as the top option. This not only allows for a larger view, but also allows
04:40you to adjust the driving mode or choose between normal, sport and eco mode.
04:47A quicker way to access them is to tap the six dots next to the climate option on the main screen,
04:52where the most recently selected driving modes are displayed and you can swipe through all available
04:56modes. Of course, sport mode is the highlight here, but eco mode maximizes the hybrid system's
05:04potential for best fuel efficiency. The TX500HF Sport achieves around 11.5L per 100km in eco mode,
05:15which also makes it attractive to those who value low consumption.
05:21Another highlight is the head-up display, which is among the best of its kind.
05:24Lexus has long offered a driver projection that allows you to keep your eyes on the road.
05:32And the latest system is the most sophisticated yet.
05:36It features layered graphics and multiple functions that can be easily and quickly adjusted,
05:41even while driving.

05:49Starting with basic information such as speed and direction, more functions are added as they are
05:56activated. Navigation instructions are displayed directly in the head-up display after the route
06:03has been entered. When adaptive cruise control is activated, driver assistance functions such as
06:10lane markings and traffic symbols appear, representing the Lexus in its surroundings.
06:14This includes vehicles in the blind spot or turning from other lanes.
06:21The driver can control what is shown in the head-up display using capacitive touchpads on the steering
06:26wheel. By simply swiping a finger on either side of the pad, cruise control, driver assistance
06:34functions or entertainment options can be set. This head-up display system is an innovation that was
06:41introduced a few years ago when the company introduced its new technology interface.
06:48It is available as an option on all models and is integrated as standard in the top trim levels,
06:53including the 500H.
06:57The multimedia system in the Lexus TX500H is the same as in all new Lexus models and as standard
07:03equipment. It offers reliability and intuitive operation without any surprises in terms of functionality.
07:10The system is powered by the voice-activated Hey Lexus assistance as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
07:16which can be connected wirelessly.
07:21Navigation, entertainment and climate are integrated as standard, as are vehicle functions that allow you
07:26to individually adjust the ambient lighting, driver assistance functions and more.
07:30The use of the system is made particularly seamless by the wireless charging pad for smartphones in the
07:38center console. This means that you can simply place your phone on the charging pad and the
07:43system will immediately connect and charge it without any cables.
07:46The heart of the system is the 12.3-inch multimedia screen that dominates the dashboard, as well as
07:54another 12.3-inch driver display.
07:59These two screens, as well as the head-up display, are the only screens in the TX, which ensures a
08:04restrained and elegant appearance in the interior.
08:06The Texas 500H has captain's chairs in the middle row and a third row of seats with a bench that can
08:14accommodate two people.

08:23As with the entire TX design, all seats are spacious with ample headroom and legroom.
08:28The third row is easily accessible, both through a central pass-through and sliding and reclining
08:36captain's chairs that allow for generous entry.
08:41The captain's chairs are electrically adjustable, making sliding and reclining easy.
08:48Between the captain's chairs is a console with cup holders and storage that is both shallow
08:52enough to step over and removable if it gets in the way when getting in and out.
08:58There are USB ports for each seat, and third-row passengers will find ample storage for mobile
09:06phones, as well as air vents and side windows that ensure seating comfort for even taller
09:10passengers.
09:14The Lexus TX500HF Sport's appearance belies its size.
09:22Lexus has worked hard to redesign the Texas to provide a coherent and less controversial look
09:26inside and out.
09:28On the outside, the Texas sports a softer front grille that features more body-colored metal than
09:36angular chrome.
09:39At the rear, an illuminated tailgate sill extends across the tailgate, providing a stage for the
09:44Lexus logo.
09:46Rounded corners front and rear create the illusion of a smaller frame, while the interior offers a
09:51surprising amount of space.
09:52However, the F-Sport badge on the 500H clearly signals that this is a high-performance, sporty
10:00version of the SUV.
10:03To appreciate the true luxury of this SUV, you have to look inside.
10:09Once you do, it becomes clear that this is a different kind of upscale experience.
10:13And once you press the accelerator, you're sold.
10:18The beauty of a hybrid lies as much in the power underfoot as in how you choose to use
10:22that power.
