The Lexus GX, which is the brand’s midsize off-road SUV, has been in need of a redesign for quite some time, and an update has finally been implemented for the 2025 model year.
What’s New in 2025 Lexus GX?
Although it rides on an entirely new platform, has an updated power plant, and a plethora of amenities that are more up-to-date, the new GX 550’s rugged exterior is about the only thing that links it to its predecessor, which is an outdated model.
It is fortunate that the GX has a history of lengthy product cycles because the new model’s appearance, reminiscent of the Land Cruiser and featuring a boxy design, seems poised to age gracefully.
It is anticipated that the 2024 GX 550 will be available with a twin-turbo V6 engine, which will be offered with and without hybrid support, instead of the V8 powertrain included in the previous model.
The body-on-frame platform that the 2024 GX 550 rides on is the same as that of the Toyota Sequoia and the Toyota Tundra. It falls somewhere in the middle of the Lexus SUV series, between the flagship LX luxury off-roader and the TX SUV, which is comparable in size but places a greater emphasis on interior room and on-road finesse.
Despite the rugged appearance of the GX’s exterior, the interior is filled with luxurious surroundings. Overtrail variations feature faux suede embellishments in a dark green color, and faux leather upholstery is available in a variety of colors. Genuine leather upholstery is also an option.
The premium and luxury trims come with three rows of seats, and the standard second-row bench can accommodate up to seven passengers. These trims also offer a pair of captain’s chairs, which may be purchased separately and reduce the seating capacity to six. Overtrail variants only have room for two rows of seating, accommodating up to five passengers.
It is possible to have power controls installed in the third row of the GX. Additional features such as a digital key fob, a head-up display, and a cooled storage bin are all available as optional extras.
2025 Lexus GX Price
The 2025 Lexus GX is expected to see a price increase compared to the current model, which costs $64,250. The base model of the 2025 GX is anticipated to start at around $68,450, reflecting enhancements in design, technology, and performance.
For those seeking the highest level of luxury and features, the top variant of the 2025 Lexus GX could go up to $85,000.
This price range positions the new GX competitively within the luxury SUV market, offering a blend of rugged capability and refined comfort.
2025 Lexus GX Release Date
The 2025 Lexus GX is expected to be released around the first quarter of 2025, with the first batch going into manufacturing in November 2024. We can anticipate official teasers to start appearing in the coming months, giving potential buyers and enthusiasts a glimpse of the new model’s features and design updates.
