Which Lexus model has 7 seats?
The RX L is the main seven-seat model in Lexus’ current lineup.
Beyond the RX L, two other Lexus SUVs offer seven-seat configurations: the GX and the newer TX. The LX is typically configured for eight seats. This article explains which models provide seven-seat options and how the seating layouts work across the lineup.
Models with seven seats
Before listing the models, note that seven-seat configurations are available on specific trims or options within each model.
- Lexus RX L — A stretched version of the RX that offers three-row seating for up to seven passengers (2 front, 2 in the second row, and 3 in the rear). The second row can be a 2-seat captain’s arrangement or a 3-seat bench, depending on trim and options.
- Lexus GX — A mid-size SUV with standard three-row seating that accommodates up to seven passengers (2+3+2).
- Lexus TX — A newer three-row SUV designed to seat seven passengers (2+3+2) in most configurations.
In brief, if seven-seat capacity is a priority, the RX L and GX are the most established Lexus options, with the TX adding a newer seven-seat offering to the lineup.
How seating works in practice
The exact seven-passenger layout depends on the model and trim. Some RX L and TX configurations offer second-row captain’s chairs that reduce overall seating to six, while bench seats in the second row keep the full seven. Cargo space also changes with third-row deployments, so buyers should check the spec for their chosen trim.
Access and cargo considerations
Three-row Lexuses vary in how easy it is to access the third row. The RX L generally offers easier access through a sliding second row and folding third row, while the GX and TX provide straightforward entry with 2+3+2 seating. When the third row is in use, cargo capacity is reduced, so owners may want to consider what they plan to carry on a typical trip.
Summary
Bottom line: The RX L is the flagship seven-seat Lexus model, with GX and TX also offering seven-passenger configurations. The LX remains primarily an eight-seat SUV. If seven seats are essential, these three models represent the strongest options in Lexus’s current lineup.
