Summary
The 2025 Lexus GX offers a luxurious twist on the classic body-on-frame SUV concept. With a twin-turbo V6 under the hood and a comfortable cabin design, it’s a refined companion whether you’re tackling highways or light trails.
A plush interior, high-tech infotainment, and commanding presence underscore its premium aspirations.

The GX’s interior exudes luxury, with ample NuLuxe upholstery, an expansive 14-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. Thanks to the boxy layout, the cabin feels impressively airy in both rows.
The third row adds flexibility for family use, though it’s best for children or shorter adults. Standard tri-zone climate, heated and ventilated front seats, plus widespread USB-C ports enhance daily comfort.
Engine & Fuel Economy
A 3.4-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 (260kW/650Nm) powers the GX, paired to a 10-speed auto and full-time 4×4 with low-range.
Around town, it can sip deeply (15–20L/100km if pushed), yet it’s more economical on highways (12–13L/100km).
Performance is strong, with effortless overtakes, though the 80L tank cuts range for extended touring.
