2024 Lexus GX is quite a change from the previous generation model, with a hefty, slender design and a rugged, upscale ambience that we’re not used to seeing from the luxury brand. Now we know what Lexus costs for a slick, luxurious look: $64250.
It’s just a little over the $60,000 we originally estimated. This figure does not include the delivery and destination fee of $1,350. Lexus charges. The previous GX was priced at under $60,000. While we don’t know the exact price of the new American-spec Land Cruiser, Toyota has stated that it will launch in the mid-$50,000 mark.
It is possible to ask whether the GX is worth around 10k more than the Land Cruiser. Both SUVs have the same platform and feature a square and upright style. However, Lexus provides the GX with a twin-turbocharged 3.4-litre V6 engine that produces 349 horsepower and 479 pounds-feet of torque.
This is more than what’s under the Land Cruiser’s hood in which Toyota’s 326-hp I-Force Max turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four hybrid is present. If you’re looking for a hybrid version, Lexus states that the engine will be coming to the GX. The exact date, however, has yet to be discovered.
It could be a good option for buyers of luxury SUVs looking for more fuel efficiency over large horsepower. No official fuel mileage ratings are available on the EPA website for either vehicle. However, Lexus states that its GX with the V6 engine gets 21 mpg when driving.
It’s slightly more efficient than the previous model’s V8. However, that implies that the total MPG rating will likely be less than 20 per cent. This model, the I-Force Max, should be more economical, but we’re waiting for official numbers to verify anything.
In addition to the engine and the GX 550, the entry-level Premium comes with various features with a full-time 4WD. A 12.3-inch driver’s display and a 14-inch touchscreen in the centre of the interior are complemented by heated and ventilated front seats, ten speakers, and Lexus’ safety System + 3.0.
This includes automatic emergency braking as well as radar cruise control. Lane-keep assist and departure warnings and onboard cameras that see road signals. The upgrades available include:
- More heated seats.
- A larger speaker.
- A heads-up screen.
- The choice of three or two-row seating.
