Introducing the 2024 Lexus GX550 – a Land Cruiser with a Lexus badge. When it comes to Lexus SUVs, the RX often steals the spotlight, but the Lexus SUV lineup offers more than just the popular RX model. The 2024 Lexus GX550 is designed for the adventurous and rugged off-road enthusiasts.
While the SUV market has seen a rise in car-like crossovers, the body-on-frame SUVs still hold their ground. Toyota, especially with its Lexus brand, is making strides to redefine SUV greatness. The 2024 Lexus GX550, the third generation of its kind, proudly embraces its Land Cruiser heritage with a bold and boxy design featuring square lines, chunky fenders, and a highly vertical windshield – all characteristics of a serious off-roader.
The GX550 is the first Lexus to benefit from the Overtrail Project, encouraging owners to explore the full potential of their luxury SUV. Equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires, a locking rear differential, and an Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, the GX550 is ready to tackle challenging terrains.
Under the hood, the GX550 packs a punch with a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivering 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque – a significant upgrade from its predecessor. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, full-time four-wheel-drive, and a two-speed transfer case, the GX550 promises a powerful performance. Lexus hints at a hybrid option in the future, but details are yet to be confirmed.
Inside the GX550, drivers will appreciate the high seating position and excellent visibility. The interior boasts a luxurious feel with a high-mounted 14-inch touchscreen and intuitive controls for temperature and volume. With the option for a third row of seating, the GX550 can accommodate up to seven passengers, making it a versatile choice for families.
Whether you’re seeking luxury or off-road capabilities, the 2024 Lexus GX550 offers a blend of both, catering to drivers who crave adventure without compromising on comfort and style.
