Exploring the All-New 2024 Lexus GX: Redefining the Sophisticated SUV

Lexus, the maker of fine automobiles and luxury vehicles, has unveiled its all-new and completely redesigned 2024 GX, which raises the bar for adventure-ready SUVs. The first-generation GX entered the North American market in 2002 with its off-road capability and has continued to evolve in the mid-luxury SUV market over the years. The 2024 GX is redesigned from the ground up, and it builds on its 20 years of experience in the Sport Utility Segment, making it an undisputed “Sophisticated Utility Vehicle.”

Rugged Yet Refined Exterior

The 2024 GX presents an unmistakably aggressive exterior design that blends an off-road functionality of a true body-on-frame SUV with an elegant and modern interior space. Lexus designers were inspired to create a GX that exemplifies the juxtaposition of a tough exterior with a calming, luxurious, and modern interior space. The new GX will be offered in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, and, all new for Lexus, Overtrail and Overtrail+.

The all-new GX features a square-body profile with a horizontal design motif. From the front, a bold, resolute design enhances the off-roading functionality, while the premium triple-beam LED headlamps and grille opening have been raised to help avoid potential road impact. The side view presents a solid, powerful stance featuring a horizontally flowing body with an increased wheelbase of 2.36 inches, an A-pillar pulled back for increased visibility, and improved ground clearance. Contrasting with the square and aggressive stance is the signature unified L-shaped light bar at the back.

Lush Interior

The all-new GX presents customers with the duality required of a luxury SUV – a rugged, capable exterior with all the luxurious interior elements that create a road-trip oasis. No matter the length of the journey, drivers and passengers will benefit from the modern and sophisticated interior. The new GX incorporates thoughtful touches at every turn, with heated and ventilated seats standard in the driver and front passenger seats, while the second row is available in two configurations: captain’s chairs or a 60:40 split-folding bench.

Advanced Platform and Legendary Off-Road Performance

The 2024 GX shares the GA-F platform introduced on the current-generation LX 600, increasing body rigidity and improved on-road handling, key elements of the Lexus Driving Signature. A newly developed double-wishbone front suspension is paired with a multi-link rear suspension for a high level of off-road driving performance and on-road prowess. Standard full-time 4WD is adopted for consistent responsiveness in varied terrain with a Torsen limited-slip center differential with locking feature, while Overtrail grades add an electronic locking rear differential.

Evolved Engine and Hybrid Powertrain

The all-new GX comes standard with a highly capable and efficient twin-turbocharged 3.4L V6 engine paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission, producing 349 horsepower and a massive 479 lb.-ft. of torque. Towing capacity has increased to 8,000 lbs. for Premium, Premium+, and Overtrail grades with the standard tow hitch, while the hybrid powertrain will be available in the U.S. at a later date.
