The soft leather, true wood veneers and judicious body of metallic trim work together beautifully to create a warm environment that is also stylish and inviting. This semi-aniline leather provides a smooth, luxurious feel for an enjoyable journey.
The Lexus GX has a roomy cabin with seating for seven people and it certainly makes sense as family friendly choice. The second row has the option of captain’s chairs or a traditional bench seat to provide flexibility in available seating configurations. The third row is accessible with little effort and folds flat to increase cargo space for multiple requirements.
Tokyo, Japan - Advanced Climate Control: The GX has a standard three-zone automatic climate control system with added moisture sensor and advanced air filter. This makes certain that all keep cozy no matter what the temperature level is outdoors. Massaging (yes, massaging) heated and ventilated front seats — plus heated second row seating — provide extra luxe comfort for when the mercury rises or falls.
Smooth and Quiet Ride: Lexus has built the GX to offer a gentle driving experience that belies its size. Inside, the cabin is well-insulated from road noise and ride quality over both highways as well rougher terrain feels smooth thanks to a suspension tuned for soaking up bumps and vibrations. The added level of refinement elevates the overall ambiance, producing a more rewarding experience during extended drives.

Uncompromising Safety: Technology in Action

The Lexus GX puts safety first, and it features a host of active safety systems created to help keep you secure on the road.

Lexus Safety System+: All 2020 GX models come standard with Lexus Safety System+, an integrated suite of active safety systems including Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Alert Automatic High Beams and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. All these elements work together to increase driver awareness, prevent collisions and help maintain safer driving conditions.
In addition to the Blind Spot Monitor component, available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) can help you when backing out of a parking space and offers visual and/or auditory warnings. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA): Provides audible alerts to warn drivers of approaching vehicles from the left or right side behind the vehicle when backing out of parking spaces.
Multi-Terrain Monitor: For those who like off-roading, the GX is available with a Multi-Terrain Monitor that provides great visibility around the vehicle. A network of cameras around the vehicle provide live images from off-road terrain to assist drivers in negotiating difficult conditions. This system is especially helpful when driving on rough or uneven terrain.
The GX features Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) 8 and Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), which help keep the vehicle on its steered path when cornering, including providing control oversteer or understeer. Such systems help to avoid such scenarios by intervening with the brakes and throttle automatically, providing that no wheels slip or lose grip ensuring control of vehicle in adverse conditions.
10 Standard Airbags: The Lexus GX comes with 10 standard air bags, including driver and front passenger knee air bags; roof-mounted side curtain air bags for all three rows of occupants (front-to-rear coverage); and front-seat-mounted side-impact... In the case of a crash, there's an extensive system of airbags to help protect all occupants.

The power behind the Lexus GX is also nothing to scoff at — it can handle various terrain types with ease.

4.6L V8 Engine: The Lexus GX is powered by a 301-horsepower, 329 lb-ft of torque, naturally aspirated 4. It delivers excellent acceleration and is good for towing up to 6,500 pounds, so this engine will find a home among those who regularly tow boats or trailers. That engine helps ensure that the GX feels like every other Lexus while delivering its smooth power and sophisticated driving experience.
Four-Wheel Drive: Yes, except for the rear-drive only GX 470; full-time four-wheel drive improves on-road handling manners while providing solid traction off road. Each is tailored to a different driving environment, whether that be in the snow, on wet pavement or off-road – and helps balance out power between all four wheelsininevenly-distributed fashion for greater stability and traction.
Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS): The optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) improves the GX's off-road performance by automatically disconnecting the front and rear stabilizers to increase wheel articulation. The way this system works allows the GX to keep a wheel in better contact with so-called terra firma, or uneven ground for increased traction and comfort. KDSS helps control body roll on pavement.
The GX also comes with Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control allowing drivers to select different surface modes, like Rock or Mud & Sand as well as Loose Gravel. This adjusts the throttle, brakes and traction control to slightly different from all-wheel-drive settings modes for use in mud ruts or sand. Make your way slowly up and over tracks with the help of Crawl Control, which automatically modulates the throttleand brakes at low speeds to enable driver focussed steering on tricky terrain.
Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS): The GX can be equipped with an Adaptive Variable Suspension system that provides for three settings: Sport, Normal and Comfort. AVS gives a tailored driving experience with such driver-selectable modes as Comfort, Normal and Sport, ensuring enhanced ride comfort during long highway drives and greater stability under extreme cornering.
