2024 Lexus GX VS Lexus LX: Battle of Siblings!!
The 2024 Lexus GX, a mid-size off-road SUV, has received a facelift for the upcoming model year. It features a new chassis, an upgraded powerplant, and modern technology, making it quite different from its outdated predecessor. The new model retains its boxy, Land Cruiser-inspired design, which has proven to be enduring despite the GX’s long product cycles. Positioned between the TX SUV and the top-tier LX luxury off-roader in the Lexus SUV lineup, the Lexus LX is a large, modern, full-size luxury SUV that maintains its off-road capability. While competitors like the BMW X7 and Cadillac Escalade offer a more spacious third row, the Lexus LX has its advantages. Rather than being cold and corporate, it is designed for adventurous individuals who don’t mind getting a little sandy. The LX600 delivers a smooth ride, thanks to its adjustable air suspension and comfortable seats.

Engine, Performance & Acceleration
While a hybrid drivetrain is expected to be added to the portfolio in the future, the GX series will begin with a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine as standard equipment. The blown V-6’s 349 horsepower surpasses the previous model GX’s V-8’s output. All variants come standard with a 10-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. In comparison to the standard trims, the Overtrail and Overtrail+ trims come equipped with more off-road features. These features include 18-inch wheels with 33-inch All-Terrain tires, an aluminum skid plate, an adaptive suspension system with more wheel articulation, a crawl-control feature, and selectable drive modes for different terrains.
Price & Features
Although we haven’t heard anything about pricing, we anticipate that the 2024 GX will cost more than the $59,275–$69,930 range of the previous model. It will be produced in Japan, and delivery to American dealerships is anticipated to begin in early 2024. Every GX model includes a wireless 14.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as a separate 12.3-inch digital gauge display that can be customized to offer the driver different types of information. The interior of most models has six USB-C connections, although the Overtrail and Overtrail+ models only have four; a wireless smartphone charging pad is an available extra.
