Built on the same platform as the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the Lexus GX has long distinguished itself with enhanced luxury and advanced features - positioning it as a cut above its sibling. After Mercedes-Benz introduced the ML-Class in 1997, Toyota leveraged the Prado platform to create the Lexus GX, entering the premium SUV market with a vehicle that combined off-road capability and upscale refinement.
The original GX impressed with its color-keyed front bumper and signature three-slat chrome grille. Flared wheel arches and protective plastic cladding, borrowed from the Prado, underscored its rugged nature. Optional side steps provided ease of access without sacrificing too much ground clearance. Inside, the GX was designed to offer true luxury: seating up to seven, with two jump seats in the cargo area, a sculpted dashboard with curved lines, and wood-trim accents on the center console, door panels, and surrounding the infotainment system. The gear selector was conveniently positioned near the front armrest.
The GX 460 wasn’t just an off-road beast due to its truck-based architecture - it was also appealing to buyers seeking a premium ride. In 2010, Lexus further improved the model by introducing Crawl Control, a system that acts like low-speed cruise control for challenging trails, and by updating the engine. The refreshed powerplant - a 4.6-liter V8 delivering 301 hp - coupled with refined drivability, raised the GX’s profile in the competitive SUV segment. Offered in Base and Premium trims, the 2010 GX included features such as 18-inch alloys, heated mirrors, a power sunroof, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated power seats, power-folding third-row seating, dual-zone climate control, a backup camera, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
After maintaining a consistent silhouette since 2009, the 2024 Lexus GX marks a new era for the model. The new generation features a redesigned exterior with bold horizontal lines, squared edges, and earthy color palettes that accentuate its off-road toughness. Exclusive design elements are offered by grade, while the standard powertrain is now a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 with a 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission, cranking out 349 hp - well above the previous V8’s output.
