The wait is over.
00:15
Lexus has finally redesigned the GX, transforming this 3-row SUV into a modern powerhouse, ready
00:20
for both off-road adventures and urban drives.
00:23
For 2024, the Lexus GX grows in size, power, and efficiency.
00:28
Competing against the Land Rover Defender 130 and Ineos Grenadier, the new GX aims to
00:33
combine luxury and rugged capability like never before.
00:36
Inside, the GX features a spacious and well-appointed cabin, with a standard 14-inch central touchscreen
00:42
and a power liftgate.
00:44
The interior design is user-friendly, with a blend of physical and touchscreen controls
00:48
that keep it modern yet practical.
00:50
The GX shines off-road, with smart electronics like automatic sway bar disconnect and electric
00:55
power steering.
00:56
Traditional features, including locking center and rear differentials, ensure it can handle
01:00
the toughest trails.
01:02
However, its crawl control system could use some refinement.
01:06
On-road, the GX delivers a smooth and comfortable ride.
01:09
The new 3.4-liter turbocharged V6 engine provides 349 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.
01:16
It's paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive.
01:21
Towing capacity is impressive at 8,000 pounds.
01:25
For off-road enthusiasts, the GX Overtrail trim adds 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain
01:31
tires, a locking rear differential, and advanced drive modes.
01:35
The Overtrail Plus model offers luxurious touches like driver and passenger massage
01:40
seats.
01:41
Safety is paramount in the new GX, with Lexus Safety System Plus 3.0 standard across all
01:47
models.
01:48
Features include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and
01:53
a rear seat reminder for the third row.
01:55
Despite its larger exterior dimensions, the GX's cargo space has seen mixed changes.
02:01
It offers 76.9 cubic feet with the second and third row stowed, or 19.5 cubic feet in
02:08
the two-row Overtrail model.
02:10
Tech-savvy buyers will appreciate the 12.3-inch gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and
02:15
Android Auto, and a 10-speaker sound system.
02:18
Buyer trims offer a head-up display, wireless charger, and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio
02:23
system.
02:24
The 2024 GX focuses on off-road capability, making it a true Land Rover alternative.
02:30
For those prioritizing family hauling and on-road comfort, the new Lexus TX is a better
02:35
fit.
02:36
Starting above $60,000, the 2024 Lexus GX offers a blend of luxury, capability, and
02:42
advanced technology.
