The Lexus GX launched in Australia with three variants: Luxury, Overtrail, and Sports Luxury. All are powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic and full-time 4WD.
Built on the same ladder-frame platform as the Toyota Prado, it offers serious off-road capability with a 3.5-tonne towing capacity, low-range gearing, and locking differentials. The Overtrail adds off-road enhancements like all-terrain tyres and KDSS suspension, while the Sports Luxury focuses on premium features.
Pros
- Strong on- and off-road performance with capable 4×4 systems
- Well-equipped, modern interior with intuitive tech and premium finishes
- Five-seat layout offers generous space for passengers and cargo
Cons
- Door pockets are too small to hold large bottles, limiting practicality
- Limited off-road aftermarket support compared to more popular rivals
- Few colour options and constrained stock reduce buyer flexibility
