Overview

The Lexus GX has historically held a distinctive position in the North American luxury SUV sector, characterized by its robust body-on-frame construction, exceptional off-road capabilities, and a reputation for reliability. However, it had been operating on an outdated platform with a fuel-inefficient V8 engine, which made it feel increasingly outdated. This perception shifted dramatically with the introduction of the fully redesigned third-generation model, and the 2025 Lexus GX further advances this innovative trajectory. Departing from the softer, more rounded aesthetics of its predecessor, the new GX adopts a bold, boxy design that reflects a return to its rugged heritage, while also integrating the latest technological advancements and the refinement synonymous with the Lexus brand. The GX 550 features tough body-on-frame construction, an asset for buyers who tow regularly. With the seats folded down, the GX can carry up to 76.9 cubic feet of cargo. The GX competes with the Land Rover Defender, Mercedes Benz GLE and Lincoln Aviator. Lexus's are known for their luxurious interior and the GX is no exception.
