In this episode, Doug DeMuro delves into the world of the 2024 Lexus GX, a beastly luxury SUV that exudes toughness and durability. Forget the old V8 engine - the GX 550 now packs a punch with a twin-turbo 3.4L V6 generating a hefty 350hp. The exterior design screams off-road prowess with its rugged, square look, featuring unique quirks like cornering lights and hood bulges reminiscent of classic off-roaders. But don't be fooled by its tough exterior - inside, the GX maintains a traditional Lexus interior, offering high-quality materials and a familiar layout.
One standout feature of the GX is its off-road capabilities, especially in the Overt Trail model, which comes equipped with low range gearing, crawl control, and multi-terrain select. These features enhance the GX's ability to tackle various terrains with ease, making it a true off-road contender. However, there are some peculiarities inside the GX, such as a phone display area that doesn't charge your phone and a unique brake light display on the gauge cluster. Despite these quirks, the infotainment system is top-notch, with responsive controls and convenient shortcuts for climate control.
While the GX impresses with its performance and off-road prowess, there is one drawback that might disappoint potential buyers - the lack of a third-row seat in models equipped with off-road features. This limitation forces buyers to choose between off-road capability and additional seating, a trade-off that might not sit well with those looking for the best of both worlds. Overall, the 2024 Lexus GX is a formidable luxury SUV that blends rugged design with high-end comfort, making it a compelling choice for adventure-seekers and off-road enthusiasts alike.
