Overview

What's New

Every 2020 Lexus GX receives the brand's Safety System Plus bundle of active safety equipment, bringing adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and more. A new Off-Road Package is now available, while an updated grille distinguishes the latest model year.

Choosing Your Lexus GX

The Lexus GX is offered in three trims: GX 460, GX 460 Premium, and GX 460 Luxury. Pricing starts at $54,025 including destination for the GX 460 and extends up to $65,290 for the GX 460 Luxury.

Engine Choices

Every GX comes with a 4.6-liter V8 engine that produces 301 horsepower and 329 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission feeds power through a four-wheel-drive system with a 40:60 rear bias in normal driving conditions.

Towing capacity checks in at 6,500 pounds. The GX achieves an EPA-estimated 15 miles per gallon city, 19 mpg highway, and 16 combined.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

The Lexus GX is a three-row, seven-passenger SUV. Second-row captain's chairs are available on the GX 460 Premium and GX 460 Luxury trims to drop seating to six. It has a maximum cargo capacity of 64.7 cubic feet. The second row features a 40/20/40 split, while the third-row seats fold flat.

Safety Features

The GX protects its occupants with standard adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic high beams, and road sign assist. It's nice to see these features not get tucked away in pricey optional packages.

Connectivity

A color touchscreen in the GX’s dash can display three different infotainment elements at once. Four USB audio ports and a nine-speaker audio system comes standard.

Navigation is standard on the GX 460 Premium and GX 460 Luxury, and optional on the GX 460 for $1,555. A 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system is available on Luxury models for $1,145.

GX 460 - From $54,025

The GX 460 is impressively equipped with LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, illuminated running boards, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power front seats, and push button start. There's memory functionality for the driver's seat, outside mirrors, and steering wheel as well.

Heated and ventilated front seats are a $640 standalone option, as is a park assist system for $500.

GX 460 Premium - From $56,815

Opting for GX 460 Premium package introduces several welcome features, including the navigation and parking assist systems. Other standard fare includes three-zone automatic climate control, interior wood trim, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and LED fog lights.

Anyone wanting to give their GX a makeover should consider the $5,510 Sport Design Package. It adds 19-inch gray wheels, second-row captain's chairs, scarlet taillights, dark gray exhaust tips, and a unique front fascia, side mirrors, and rear valance.

GX 460 Luxury - From $65,290

The substantial price hike on GX 460 Luxury models reflects their greater dynamic ability, with auto-leveling rear air suspension and adaptive variable suspension both standard.

The interior gains semi-aniline leather, and the third-row seats can be electrically reclined and folded. The heated steering wheel is finished in wood and leather, headlight washers are standard, and the outside mirrors are auto-dimming, heated, and power-folding.

The new $1,570 Off-Road Package equips the GX with a crawl control system that regulates the throttle and brakes at low speeds, both forwards and backwards. It also adds a multi-terrain select system, a surround-view camera system with a terrain monitor, a protector over the fuel tank, and a cooler for the transmission oil.

CarsDirect Tip

Unless you’re a serious off-roader or tower, it’s hard to justify the cost of the 2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury. The GX 460 Premium represents good value for its price.

Timeless classic. The field of traditional body-on-frame SUVs has shrunk tremendously over the past decade. Manufacturers such as Land Rover and Ford have switched to unibody construction to decrease weight while increasing body rigidity. That’s not a bad move – as long as off-road capabilities aren't lost.

As for the 2020 Lexus GX, it blends brand refinement with traditional versatility under its skin. The GX is sold as the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado in most global markets. It also shares its platform with the off-road-worthy Toyota 4Runner, thus there's enough hint of its parentage to reassure anyone desiring an off-road maven.

Rugged and off-road capable. The GX’s off-road strength isn’t its only asset. If you need to tow, the GX pulls up to 6,500 pounds. That’s laudable in a segment where the mere crossovers struggle to pull thousands of pounds less.

Now back to off-roading. You can take the GX to places most competing models can’t go, but only as long as you keep one important point in mind: the grille sits low and is prone to digging into the ground if you’re not careful. That can be a costly mistake as you move over any obstacle.

We also like that Lexus offers a crawl control system. This handy technology allows the GX to move at a sedate pace automatically or free itself from muck or mire. This feature can prove invaluable to anyone who frequents slop and glop.

When driving around town, the GX’s aged 4.6-liter V8 engine puts down 301 horsepower, which is low. Indeed, some competing V6 engines offer more power and do so without boosting.

The six-speed automatic transmission transmits energy to all four wheels, but you should also know that it only gets an EPA-estimated 15 miles per gallon city, 19 mpg highway, and 16 combined.

Strong standard safety equipment. Lexus helps out buyers by not hiding active safety features in add-on packages. The GX comes standard with adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, and more.

Comfy ride, tight third row. Despite its truck-based platform, the Lexus GX supplies a comfortable ride. Opt for the available load-leveling rear suspension for enhanced comfort.

Inside, the cabin is ideal for five, but cramped for third-row passengers. The seats are comfortable in the first two rows for adults, while the third row is ideal for children. Instead, we think most buyers will keep the rear seat folded, as that supplies 46.7 cubic feet of storage capacity against the very limited 11.6 cubic feet behind the third row.

Final thoughts. The 2020 Lexus GX attracts a niche segment of buyers, many of whom frequent country clubs and playhouses, and aren't likely to find the trail less traveled.

The GX’s interior cossets the most discriminating passengers and does an admirable job of insulating the cabin from most exterior noise.
