The Lexus GX features a robust powertrain similar to other large SUVs; however, it utilizes its brute strength and proven technologies in wilder ways. The GX can take on asphalt and rugged 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 Lexus 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 9,063 pounds when properly equipped.
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 system, 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 capabilities, the Lexus GX is available with several proven technologies to make your time in the great outdoors smooth:
With these technologies in your off-roading toolbox, every wild adventure will be smooth sailing.
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 Lexus GX looks like an off-roading machine. 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 warm or 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. You can set the mood with available Thematic Ambient Illumination. Choose from several 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.
