2023 Lexus GX
Overview
Combining style, class, and unwavering versatility, the Lexus GX is a legendary icon. As such, it comes as no surprise that this elegant, full-size luxury SUV has remained largely unchanged since 2010. Fortunately, the 2023 Lexus GX is new, completely redesigned, and refreshed. The new 2023 Lexus GX continues to deliver the performance and elegance drivers have come to love in a new and improved package. It's available in four, well-equipped trim levels: Base, Premium, Luxury, and Black Line Special Edition.
The Perfect Ride For...
The new 2023 GX is the perfect ride for families, executives, and anyone else who enjoys premium luxury and ample space. It boasts an expansive three rows of seating that accommodates up to seven passengers. Regardless of where a passenger is seated, they will enjoy a first-class experience with versatile features like a standard fold-flat 50/50-split third-row of seats.
The GX features an available three-zone automatic climate control as well as ventilated and heated front seats with second-row outboard heated seats. Combining comfort and craftsmanship, the interior is accented with a leather-trimmed shift knob as well as a steering wheel trimmed in hand-selected leather and wood. As a bonus, the steering wheel offers an available heating function that monitors and automatically adjusts to maintain the desired temperature. Unlike other vehicles, the Lexus GX comes equipped with an array of off-roading elements, which means it's tailor-made for venturing where the pavement ends.
Drive and Handling
Regardless of trim, every GX is powered by a tested, tried, and proven 4.6L V8 engine. As the only naturally aspirated V8 in the class, the GX's 4.6-liter powerhouse produces a whopping 301 HP and 329 lb-ft of torque. To maximize performance, the engine's Variable Valve Timing with intelligence helps optimize high-speed horsepower while improving low-speed torque. When it comes to towing trailers and other heavy loads, the GX is up to the task, offering a 6,500 lb towing capacity. As previously mentioned, the GX is one of the few luxury SUVs with off-road capability integrated from the factory.
In addition to being the only standard 4WD SUV in the class, the GX empowers offroaders to do more with 8.1 inches of ground clearance. The class-exclusive Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System works to automatically adjust stabilizer bars based on the terrain. This system works to improve your on-road comfort, limit body roll, and promotes greater suspension travel for venturing inhospitable terrain.
The GX's off-road capability is accented by its rugged, body-on-frame construction. While the GX is the only luxury SUV with body-on-frame construction in the class, drivers can elevate their abilities to new heights with the available Off-Road Package. This exclusive package empowers you to tackle even the most inhospitable terrain, such as dirt trails, snow-covered roads, and rock. The Off-Road Package comes loaded with features like Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and more to give you the confidence to go farther. Multi-Terrain Select allows you to quickly adjust response and traction by choosing from five different terrain—Mud & Sand, Rock, Rock & Dirt, Loose Rock, and Mogul.
Key Features
Large Multi-Information Display
Nestled comfortably behind the ergonomically-crafted, three-spoke steering wheel, the Lexus GX's large multi-informational digital display offers you quick access to the information you need the most. You can quickly view key alerts and data at a glance. It can even alert you to inspect the rear seat whenever your ignition is turned off.
The Lexus Safety System+
The 2023 GX comes equipped with the Lexus Safety System+ that elevates security to new heights. This all-in-one system includes a vast array of state-of-the-art driver assist and safety technologies, including High-Speed Dynamic Cruise Control, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent High Beams, and Lane Departure Alert.
