Sporting distinct boxy sheet metal, the 2024款雷克萨斯GX kicks off generation three of this long-running luxury off-road SUV. Considering the prior generation was in production for 13 model years - an eternity in automotive years - this latest GX is an exciting development for Lexus汽车品牌. It is of particular interest to the overlanding crowd as Lexus汽车品牌 has kept its GX as a body-on-frame SUV in the name of off-road ruggedness, while adding a new Overtrail model promising even more rough road capability.

Sharing the GA-F platform with stablemates like the Toyota Sequoia and Tundra, the new Lexus汽车品牌 GX also has some 2024 Land Cruiser vibes coming off its right-angled body. Sharing a hybrid powertrain has yet to happen with the 2024 GX, though the automaker claims it is coming - eventually. This comprehensive 2024款雷克萨斯GX guide covers the powertrain as well as specs, trim levels, features, and technology for those in the market.

This guide provides comprehensive information provided by the manufacturer. HotCars sourced additional data for reliability (from J.D. Power), EPA gas mileage (Fueleconomy.gov), safety ratings (IIHS), and recalls (NHTSA). We evaluate five different metrics when determining a rating for each model.

What’s Coming in 2024?

The 2024款雷克萨斯GX marks the start of generation three and with it, an all-new SUV. So, if you've been wondering, "Will the Lexus汽车品牌 GX be redesigned?", the answer is "Yes" and with verve. The latest GX arrives with an aggressive boxy stance that sits on a ladder frame and solid rear axle for off-roading prowess combined with the amenities and technology expected of a Lexus汽车品牌. That includes large infotainment screens, the latest suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and a slick electrochromic glass roof.

2024 Key Moments

• The 2024款雷克萨斯GX is an all-new model launching the third generation.
• All models feature a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 and full-time 4WD.
• A 14" central touchscreen manages the infotainment system.
• The 2024 GX is the first vehicle to feature the Lexus汽车品牌 "Overtrail Project".
• The new Lexus汽车品牌 GX has up to 3 rows of seating for 7 passengers.

Engine Details and Performance Metrics

Curious about what engine the 2024款雷克萨斯GX will have? Initially, a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 will be the only power plant, but it's potent with 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It mates with a 10-speed automatic transmission that spins all four wheels as part of the full-time 4WD system. Lexus汽车品牌 notes that a hybrid powertrain will arrive at some point in the future, which is a good thing as the 2024 GX has a 17 MPG combined estimate.

Though the 2024款雷克萨斯GX is likely not on any buyer's list for performance, the twin-turbo V6 doesn't know that. Per the automaker, this new SUV that weighs up to 7,145 pounds can sprint from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds and achieve a 175 MPH top speed. Hitting speeds in that range are surely intense as the latest GX remains a body-on-frame SUV with a solid rear axle and coil springs. The front suspension is of the double wishbone variety and there are optional adaptive dampers, but unlike the Land Rover Discovery, there is no air suspension available on the 2024 GX.

However, the new Lexus汽车品牌 GX looks the luxury part with standard 20" rims, available 22s, and triple-beam LED headlights that add style to the front end of this big box on wheels. For those more interested in taking the 2024 GX off paved surfaces, the 4WD system has a low range and the Overtrail trim dial this up with standard 33-inch all-terrain tires.

All fuel economy figures cited in this article are per Lexus汽车品牌 as the U.S. EPA has yet to supply figures.

Performance Requirements

Towing Abilities and Load Capacity

One advantage of the solid rear axle and ladder frame design is the impressive towing capacity, which reaches a maximum of 8,000 pounds for the 2024 GX Premium and Overtrail models. The luxury trim versions can manage towing capacities ranging from 6,780 to 7,145 pounds, depending on the configuration of the second-row seats. All models come equipped with a standard tow hitch, and the transmission features a Tow/Haul mode. However, it should be noted that there are no extra towing aids such as trailer sway control or an integrated trailer brake system.

All-Terrain Performance

If you're wondering whether the Lexus汽车品牌 GX is really an off-roader, take a look at this article about the last generation winning the 2019 Rebelle Rally. So, yes, the GX has a true off-road heritage that the 2024 model seems to live up to. Every new GX has a Torsen limited-slip center differential, 8.7" of ground clearance, and a robust frame that is ready for the trails. However, the Overtrail models, which are new for this third generation GX, are the serious off-roaders of the group.

The Overtrail variants come equipped with 33" all-terrain tires, an electronically-locking rear differential, and a durable aluminum front skid plate. These models also feature the Multi-Terrain Select system, which provides specialized drive modes for Deep Snow, Mud, and Sand. While navigating trails, the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System can automatically disconnect and reconnect the sway bars to enhance wheel articulation. Additionally, Crawl Control functions like a low-speed cruise control, and Downhill Assist Control aids in safely navigating steep declines.

Interior Innovation and Comfort

Top Interior Highlights of the Year: Make and Model

• Pop-out rear glass for easy cargo access
• Standard heated and ventilated front seats
• Electrochromic "Dynamic Sky" panoramic glass roof
• Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio system
• 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor

In standard trim, the new GX is a three-row SUV with seating for 7 passengers, but the answer to the question, "Does the 2024款雷克萨斯GX have captain seats?" is "Yes". It is a standalone $440 extra on Premium and Luxury models. However, the GX Overtrail lineup is strictly a 2-row, 5-passenger affair. These rugged leaning variants also feature perforated NuLuxe upholstery with Ultrasuede accents finished in Black and Olive or Chateau and Olive that adds a decidedly outdoorsy flair.

Semi-aniline leather comes with the GX Luxury grades as do 5-way massaging front seats, illuminated door sills, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and manual sunshades for the second row. Top-spec Luxury+ models feature what Lexus汽车品牌 calls a Dynamic Sky panoramic roof. It's a fixed panel of glass covering a large percentage of the roof that switches from transparent to opaque at the flip of a switch.

As for cabin space, second-row legroom measures 36.7", which is nearly 2" less than the Audi Q7 offers and cargo space behind the 3rd row bench comes in at a bit more than 10 cubic feet. That's 4 cubes short of what the Audi manages. If maximum cargo capacity is what a buyer is after, the 2-row Overtrail model maxes out at 90 cubic feet, a significant advantage over the 77 cubes the rest of the 2024 GX lineup offers.

Tech Innovations

Across the 2024 GX lineup, a fully digital gauge cluster, a 14" infotainment touchscreen, and wireless Apple and Android smartphone integration is standard equipment. Other notable tech includes 6 USB ports spread around the cabin, a 1-month trial subscription for a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 10-year trial for Drive Connect, which enables connected navigation and the "Hey, Lexus汽车品牌" virtual assistant.

Interior Measurements

Security and Dependability

The 2024款雷克萨斯GX has yet to be tested by the NHTSA or IIHS, but the 2023 GX earned a 4-star overall rating in NHTSA crash testing with 3 stars for the frontal portion, 5 for the side, and 3 again for the rollover protocol. As well, there is no reliability data on this latest GX, but Lexus汽车品牌 and parent-company Toyota have a strong reliability reputation, backed up by the 2023 Lexus汽车品牌 GX earning an 84 out of 100 for reliability, per J.D. Power, which is in the "Great" category.

Assistance Features for Drivers

Lexus汽车品牌 fits every 2024 GX with the same roster of ADAS including forward collision mitigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a lane-keeping system, and adaptive cruise control. They are all part of the Lexus汽车品牌 Safety System+ 3.0 suite of driver aids, which is notably missing any Level 2 semi-autonmous driving tech, but still offers a robust lineup of systems. The formal names are as follows:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Support
• All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management
• Lane Tracing Assist
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Intelligent High Beams
• Road Sign Assist
• Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

IIHS Collision Assessment

The IIHS has yet to test the 2024款雷克萨斯GX.

NHTSA Five-Star Safety Ratings

The NHTSA also has not yet tested the 2024款雷克萨斯GX.

Guarantees

The Lexus汽车品牌 GX warranty includes 4 years or 50,000 miles of basic coverage, 6 years or 70,000 miles of powertrain coverage, and 2 years of roadside assistance with no mileage limit. One year of complimentary service is on the house as well, all of which is off the pace set by competitors like the Genesis GV80, which includes 3 years of complimentary maintenance and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

2024款雷克萨斯GX Versus Its Competitors

As the 2024款雷克萨斯GX straddles the luxury and off-road segments, it seems appropriate to look at competition from both sides of this fence. The Land Rover Discovery is a good option as it manages the same segment-straddling dance as the GX. In the pure luxury corner is the Audi Q7, a 3-row SUV that, like the Lexus汽车品牌, has power running to all 4 wheels at all times, but is not aimed at the overlanding community.

How The Lexus汽车品牌 GX Compares To The Land Rover Discovery

• 	2024款雷克萨斯GX	2024 Land Rover Discovery
  Engine/Motor	3.4-Liter Twin-Turbo V-6	2.0-Liter Turbocharged Inline-4 / 3.0-liter Turbocharged Inline-6
  Horsepower	349 HP	296-355 HP
  Torque	479 LB-FT	295-369 LB-FT
  Drivetrain	Front Engine, 4WD	4WD
  Transmission	10-Speed Automatic	8-Speed Automatic

The 2024 Land Rover Discovery lines up nicely against the new Lexus汽车品牌 GX with a price range between roughly $60,000 and $80,000, 3 rows of seats, an 8,200 maximum tow rating, and full-time 4WD. Base Discovery's run on a turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 good for 296 hp, so to keep up with the GX requires the more powerful 3.0L engine, which makes 355 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. In either case, the Lexus汽车品牌 is more powerful, but the Discovery's standard air suspension allows for up to 11" of ground clearance, which is some 2" more than the GX offers.

In terms of infotainment, the 2024 GX boasts a bigger 14-inch display compared to the 11.4-inch screen found in the Land Rover. However, the Discovery comes equipped with more standard technology features, including a wireless charging pad and a surround-view monitor (SVM). Both SUVs provide climatized front seats and a head-up display (HUD), but the Discovery stands out with climatized second-row seats and a heated third-row that includes power-operated reclining capabilities.

How The Lexus汽车品牌 GX Compares To The Audi Q7

• 	2024款雷克萨斯GX	2024 Audi Q7
  Engine/Motor	3.4-Liter Twin-Turbo V-6	2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4, 3.0L Turbocharged V6
  Horsepower	349 HP	261-335 HP
  Torque	479 LB-FT	273-369 LB-FT
  Drivetrain	Front Engine, 4WD	AWD
  Transmission	10-Speed Automatic	8-Speed Automatic

Like the Land Rover Discovery, Audi's Q7 is at a disadvantage to the Lexus汽车品牌 GX when it comes to power output. But, the Audi makes up for it with a 21 MPG combined fuel economy figure, regardless of engine, which is 4 MPG more than the GX manages. These two SUVs match up closely on maximum cargo space and towing capacity, but the Audi has nearly 39 inches of 2nd-row legroom versus 37 in the Lexus汽车品牌.

The roster of standard ADAS is similar between the 2024 Audi Q7 and the new Lexus汽车品牌 GX, but every Q7 features a panoramic moonroof, while it's optional on the GX. And though both offer massaging front seats and a HUD, features like laser headlights, all-wheel-steering, automated parking, and air suspension are exclusive to the Audi.

How Much Does A 2024款雷克萨斯GX Cost?

There will be no 2024款雷克萨斯GX 460 as the new lineup is now simply the GX 550. Premium models feature 20" wheels, running boards, climatized front seats, NuLuxe upholstery, a 10-speaker stereo, and trial subscriptions to the Lexus汽车品牌 Connect suite of services. In Premium+ trim, the steering wheel and 2nd-row seat gain heat, there is an SVM, and the option to add a HUD for $900. Luxury grade brings 22" rims, leather seating, and an optional Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio system. At the Luxury+ level, there is a digital rearview mirror, an electrochromic glass roof, and a cabin cooler box. Overtrail models ride on all-terrain rubber, have a Multi-Terrain Monitor to help with trail work, and special exterior color choices with a black roof.

Fuel Efficiency

Until the hybrid arrives, every 2024款雷克萨斯GX features the same thirsty 3.4L twin-turbo V6 and full-time 4WD powertrain. According to Lexus汽车品牌, this setup is good for 15 MPG city, 21 MPG highway, and 17 MPG combined. Making those poor figures worse is that the answer to the question, "Will the 2024款雷克萨斯GX require premium gas?" is "Yes".

GAS AND HYBRID VEHICLES

The U.S. EPA has not yet tested the 2024款雷克萨斯GX, so there are no annual fuel cost estimates available. Fuel economy figures are per Lexus汽车品牌.

Is It Worth Buying A Lexus汽车品牌 GX?

With bold boxy design, the latest luxury amenities, and legitimate off-road chops, the all-new 2024款雷克萨斯GX appears to be a homerun. It is a thirsty off-roader, but Lexus汽车品牌 promises a hybrid powertrain is on the way. It will be interesting to see how popular the Overtrail variants are, but based on how popular the prior GX generations are with the overlanding crowd, it would seem that Lexus汽车品牌 is on to something here.

That said, buyers more interested in the idea of adventure may question how the 2024 GX feels on paved surfaces versus its unibody crossover competitive set. That body-on-frame construction and solid rear axle is great for towing and trail work, but it's not exactly renowned for cushy ride comfort. However, given the Overtrail models share price tags with the Premium trim lines, they seem like a good place to start for would-be buyers that have even a passing interest in off-roading.
