Key Differences
-
The Lyriq has 39% more cargo space
The TX 350 lists 20.2 cu ft; the Lyriq comes in at 28 cu ft. That’s not a rounding error. Cargo space behind the rear seats is what you use every day for groceries, strollers and luggage.
-
The Lyriq has 90 hp more power
At 365 hp versus 275 hp, this is a decisive lead for the Lyriq, the kind of difference you notice without looking for it. The Lyriq’s extra output gives it more in reserve when you need to get up to speed.
-
The TX 350 has room for 7 seats
If seats is one of your priorities, this settles it: the TX 350 leads clearly with 7 seats to the Lyriq’s 5 seats. Third-row seats are often best for kids, so check legroom figures if adults will sit there.
-
The TX 350 has 60% more maximum cargo space
The numbers aren’t close. The TX 350 lists 97 cu ft for cargo (seats folded), while the Lyriq lists 60.8 cu ft. Maximum cargo space with the seats folded matters when you move furniture, bikes or bulky gear.
