This is the 2024 Lexus GX, the toughest luxury SUV. Today I’m reviewing this Lexus GX, and I’ll show you all the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel of the Lexus GX and show you what it’s like to drive. The third generation GX 550 was revealed in prototype form on 8 June 2023. It has a boxier design than the previous generation and is built on the GA-F platform, shared with the J250 Land Cruiser Prado. Production started in November 2023.

The third generation GX is larger than the previous generation, with width increasing by 95 mm (overtrail by 115 mm (4.52 in)), wheelbase increasing by 60 mm, and length increasing by 70 mm. In the US, the GX 550 will be available in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, and the newly-added Overtrail and Overtrail+ off-road oriented models.
The new Overtrail grade comes with standard 33-inch All-Terrain tires and 18-inch wheels. All models will feature the V35A-FTS 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 which produces 260 kW (349 hp) and 649 N⋅m (479 lb⋅ft) of torque.
