The eagerly awaited 2024 GX 550 has finally been revealed by Lexus, capping over fifteen years of expectation and signalling a major advancement in the company’s stable of midsize luxury SUVs. Expectations have only grown due to the extended time elapsed since the prior version, but preliminary findings indicate that the new GX lives up to its claim of being a next-generation experience.
Design and Features: Purposeful Styling
The 2024 Lexus GX breaks new ground with its bold design language while staying true to its iconic body-on-frame construction. Riding on the TNGA-F platform, shared with the LX 600, this iteration showcases a boxy yet modern styling that not only enhances aesthetics but also improves visibility and spatial awareness for drivers, whether navigating city streets or conquering rugged off-road trails. From the aggressive exterior features like vertical hood humps to the functional elements such as wheel arch molding and running board options, every aspect of the design exudes purpose and sophistication
Trim Levels and Luxury
With a total of six available trim levels, including the introduction of the all-new Overtrail and Overtrail+, the GX caters to a wide spectrum of preferences for both luxury and capability. Each trim level, from the entry-level Premium to the range-topping Luxury+, offers a unique blend of features and enhancements, allowing customers to tailor their GX to suit their individual tastes and requirements
Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside, the GX never ceases to astound with its unmatched comfort and cutting-edge technology. Luxurious materials and fine craftsmanship surround passengers in luxury, and cutting-edge features like the Overtrail models’ distinctive memory foam-like seats and the 14-inch infotainment system mounted horizontally guarantee a pleasant and comfortable ride even in the roughest weather
Passenger and Cargo Space
Despite its luxurious amenities, the GX remains practical, offering ample space for passengers and cargo alike. With configurations accommodating up to seven passengers in select trim levels, families and adventurers alike will find plenty of room to stretch out. However, the retractable third row in certain trims may limit cargo space, a compromise for those prioritizing passenger accommodation
Towing Capacity
In addition to its impressive on- and off-road capabilities, the GX boasts remarkable towing capacity across different trim levels, ranging from 7,800 to 9,096 pounds. Whether hauling a trailer or towing equipment for outdoor adventures, the GX proves itself to be a capable and reliable companion for any task.
