What the Critics Say

“For those of us who understand the spiritual essence and romance of a classic sport utility vehicle, but also appreciate some aspects of modern automotive technology, the new GX is simply the ultimate adventure machine.” — The Drive

“To these eyes, it’s one of the best-looking SUVs of all time. Clean, modern, classic. If it manages to survive the same 14 years as the last GX, it’ll still look great in 2038.” — Autoblog

What’s New For 2024

The GX got a total redesign for 2024, all the way down to a new platform underpinning the entire vehicle. The new engine is a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces quite a bit more power than the outgoing V8, especially torque. The interior has been given a much more modern look, including a bunch of new tech. Exterior styling has also been completely changed, giving it a much more utilitarian look, but one that still conveys the GX’s luxury vehicle status.

Lexus GX Features

Unmatched Capability

The GX shares its mechanical underpinnings with the Toyota 4Runner and Tundra, both highly capable utilitarian offroaders. This body-on-frame construction makes the GX tough, and that’s what sets it apart from most of its competitors. Adding to the offroad capability is a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, enough to handle rocks and mud with ease. It’s also enough to give the GX a seriously unbeatable towing capacity of 9,096 pounds.

The standard full-time 4WD with a lockable Torsen® limited-slip center differential sends power where it’s needed, and the available Adaptive Variable Suspension keeps the whole thing composed and comfortable. Most of what makes the GX such an impressive offroader comes standard, but opting for the Overtrail or Overtrail+ trims gives you even more specialized equipment. That includes things like 33-in all-terrain tires, a Panoramic View Monitor with Multi-Terrain Monitor, and Crawl Control. And to make room for the cargo you’re taking with you, these trims also include a third-row seating delete.

Bold Design

It’s difficult to steal focus from the luxury and offroad prowess of the GX, but the superb styling somehow manages. The modern styling of the GX looks offroad-ready and sophisticated at the same time. The large wheel arches that accommodate the bigger all-terrain tires on the Overtrail trims can also fit the 22-inch wheels that come with the Luxury+ trim and inside, the NuLuxe® upholstery is soft to touch and comfortable, but is also easy to clean. Triple-Beam LED headlamps come standard, and LED foglights come with most trims. These both look great and are indispensable once you get offroad and away from streetlights. As an extra styling flourish, bi-tone paint is available for Overtail trims.
