The 2024 Lexus GX has been officially unveiled, offering a blend of luxury, performance, and advanced technology, designed to cater to both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Here’s a detailed look at what the new Lexus GX brings to the table.
Platform and Design
The 2024 GX is built on the GA-F platform, shared with the current-generation LX 600. This strong and lightweight ladder frame enhances body rigidity and improves on-road handling while being optimally engineered for off-road performance. The GX’s design reflects a rugged yet refined aesthetic, aimed at providing a luxurious outdoor experience.
Engine and Performance
The all-new GX comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.4L V6 engine paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission. This powertrain produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, significantly outperforming the previous generation’s V8 engine. The GX also boasts a towing capacity of up to 9,096 lbs, making it a robust option for both daily driving and adventurous excursions. A hybrid powertrain will be available at a later date.
Off-Road Capabilities
The GX is equipped with full-time 4WD and a Torsen® limited-slip locking center differential, ensuring exceptional control in low grip situations. The Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades feature an electronically controlled locking rear differential and an Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) for enhanced wheel articulation and stability. The Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system offers various driving modes to optimize performance across different terrains, supported by a Multi-Terrain Monitor for increased visibility during off-road driving.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the GX offers a luxurious experience with advanced technology. It features a 14-inch multimedia touchscreen with the latest Lexus Interface, providing intuitive control over navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Safety is a priority with the standard Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which includes features like Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, and All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
