The Lexus GX features a similar robust powertrain to other large SUVs; however, it utilizes its brute strength and proven technologies in wilder ways—literally! The GX can take on asphalt and off-roads alike. You may never leave the great outdoors when you see just how well it fares on unmade roads.
A 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine lies at the belly of the GX. This vigorous powertrain produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The 10-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission harnesses all that power, making it possible to tow up to 9,096 pounds when properly equipped. It’s time to take your 25-foot-plus camping trailer, large boat, or small, hard-sided RV on vacation!
This SUV utilizes Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) and has a Torsen® limited-slip center differential with a locking feature so you can experience expert-level confidence on every road, paved or not.
Adding to your confidence is the available, intuitively responsive Adaptive Variable Suspension, which enables you to customize your desired level of road feel. It responds automatically to changing road surface conditions, enhancing ride comfort even on rocky and rough terrain.
In addition to 4WD, the Lexus GX is available with several proven technologies to make your time in the great outdoors smooth.
- Multi-Terrain Select: Choose from six drive modes to optimize the GX’s performance. Precipitation-slick roads or intense trails never stood a chance anyway.
- Crawl Control: Designed for driving on difficult terrain at low speeds, this feature assists the driver by controlling acceleration and braking while you focus on steering.
- Panoramic View Monitor: This feature delivers a top-down 360-degree view to assist drivers with navigating tight spaces.
- 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor: This monitor uses multiple cameras to give you 360-degree views, including the innovative Underfloor View and Back Underfloor View, which help you see under the GX and around its rear wheels.
With these technologies in your off-roading toolbox, every wild adventure will be a smooth sail.
Trail-ready performance? Check. Spa-like cabin amenities and to-die-for space? Climb inside the Lexus GX’s interior to see and believe it!
On the outside, the GX looks like an off-roading tank. On the inside, it’s a luxurious haven. The seats are standardly outfitted in NuLuxe® upholstery; however, you can opt for semi-aniline leather to make your ride even more dreamy.
Speaking of which, your throne is an 8-way power-adjustable seat with standard heating and ventilation, allowing you to quickly find your perfect position and stay cool, rain or shine. Treat yourself and your copilot to a spa trip with the available 5-mode massaging front seats. Your rear riders can get in on the action with available heated second-row seats.
Shed some light in the cabin with the standard moonroof or the available Dynamic Sky™ panorama glass roof. The latter can go from clear to opaque and back again with a simple button push! Do you know what’s just as easy to do? Set the mood with available Thematic Ambient Illumination. Choose from 14 preset modes or create your personalized selection.
The Lexus GX prioritizes your comfort, but does it have the space you need? This SUV seats up to seven passengers (or six with second-row captain’s chairs) on all trims except the GX 550 Overtrail and GX 550 Overtrail+ trims, which seat five.
When you opt for the 3-row models, space for all your companions isn’t sacrificed—it’s prioritized.
