The Lexus GX is a midsize SUV known for its durability, off-road capabilities, and long product cycles. The outgoing GX debuted for the 2010 model year and is now being replaced by an all-new model for 2024. And what a stunning update it is. The new Lexus GX rides on a new platform with a turbo V6 engine, a thoroughly updated interior packed with modern tech, and a jaw-dropping new aesthetic conveying its luxurious off-roader personality.
Although it appears radically different from its predecessor, the new GX sticks to the formula of a body-on-frame architecture with standard 4-wheel drive (4WD). The also-new Lexus TX might better serve drivers looking for a family-friendly, road-going SUV, while the GX is on the more rugged side of this class. Three-row seating is standard in the GX, but the rugged Overtrail models have two rows of seats.
In the niche class of off-road luxury SUVs, the Lexus GX competes with the Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Defender (both the 2-row 110 and the 3-row 130), and the upmarket trims of the Jeep Grand Cherokee (and 3-row Grand Cherokee L).

What’s New:
The Lexus GX is all-new for 2024. Highlights of the redesign include a turbocharged V6 engine replacing the old V8, rugged new Overtrail trims, updated technology, and a unique exterior design that speaks the rugged yet luxurious language of the GX.
Our Recommendation:
We like the Premium+ trim. It adds some nice luxury features like a hands-free power rear door, a wireless charging pad, and available second-row captain’s chairs without a Range Rover price tag.

2024 Lexus GX 550 Premium: $62,900
The base Premium trim of the new Lexus GX is generously appointed with standard features.
Under the hood of every GX 550 lies a turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine rated at 349 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission and a full-time 4WD system. Fuel economy estimates aren’t available yet from the EPA. Still, we predict this turbo V6 will be more efficient than the V8 in the outgoing GX, which was rated by the EPA at only 15 mpg city/19 mpg highway/16 mpg combined. Max tow capacity reaches 8,000 pounds.
Standard 2024 Lexus GX Premium features include a locking limited-slip center differential, 20-inch alloy wheels, triple-beam LED headlights, power-folding mirrors, running boards, a power rear door, and a power moonroof. Inside, you get 3-row seating for up to seven, NuLuxe-trimmed seats, heated and ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, six USB-C ports, a 120-volt power outlet in the cargo area, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 14-inch infotainment display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and a 10-speaker audio system.
The GX is loaded with the latest safety tech features also. The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 bundles automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, emergency steer assist, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, full-speed adaptive cruise control with curve speed management, and road sign assist. Other standard safety features include blind-spot monitoring and Intuitive Parking Assist.
Other than paint, the only factory options for the GX Premium are Traffic Jam Assist (subscription required after 3-year trial), a head-up display, a tonneau luggage cover, and the Cold Area Package (heated steering wheel, windshield wiper de-icer, headlamp washer, and a “fast-response” interior heater).
With the $1,350 destination fee, the 2024 Lexus GX 550 Premium costs $64,250. On a 60-month loan with 5% financing and $0 down, the estimated monthly payment comes to $1,212. See 2024 Lexus GX 550 Premium models for sale near you

2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail: $67,900
The Overtrail trim is a new off-road-specific model of the Lexus GX. The most noticeable difference is the rugged appearance package, which includes an aluminum skid plate, black over-fenders, four available two-tone paint schemes, beefy black roof rails, and 18-inch wheels wearing 33-inch all-terrain tires.
Mechanical and technological off-road upgrades are highlighted by the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS), an electronically controlled locking rear differential, Crawl Control with Turn Assist, Downhill Assist Control, a Multi-Terrain Monitor camera system, and Multi-Terrain Select with multiple off-road drive modes.
Every GX with Overtrail in its name has 2-row seating for five. You can’t get one with a third row. That also means you only get four USB-C ports rather than six.
Other than the individual options available on every trim (Traffic Jam Assist, head-up display, and tonneau cover), the only factory option in the Overtrail is a cooler box. The windshield wiper de-icer and headlamp washer that come with the Cold Area Package are standard on the Overtrail model.

Off-road tech — With a Multi-Terrain Monitor camera system, off-road drive modes, and Crawl Control, the GX Overtrail is a high-tech off-roader that doesn’t compromise luxury.
