The 2024 Lexus GX four-wheel-drive large SUV – the luxury twin to the all-new Toyota Prado – has been priced for Australia.
Lexus Australia has confirmed the new GX550 will start from $116,000 before on-road costs, with all variants powered by a 260kW/650Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol.
The GX starts at around $30,000 more than the most affordable Lexus RX and around $45,000 less than the entry-level Lexus LX twin-turbo petrol.
It will be available in Luxury, Overtrail and Sports Luxury variants, with the flagship model topping the line-up at $128,200 plus on-roads.
The twin-turbo petrol V6 powertrain, borrowed from the related Lexus LX 600 flagship SUV and overseas versions of the Toyota LandCruiser 300, is matched to a 10-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, a second-start function, and full-time four-wheel-drive with low-range and a locking centre differential.
Braked towing capacity for the Luxury and Overtrail is listed at 3500 kilograms, while the flagship Sports Luxury will be limited to 3130kg.
A petrol-electric hybrid Lexus GX with a 2.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder could arrive later but a diesel version seems unlikely.
The Lexus GX 550 Luxury and Sports Luxury will offer seven seats, while the off-road-focused Overtrail variant will be limited to five seats – like a Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series GR Sport.
Individual second-row captain’s chairs will not be offered in the Lexus GX for the Australian market.
Lexus Australia has confirmed seven exterior colours will be offered for the GX Luxury and Sports Luxury, while the Overtrail will have two single-colour or four two-tone finishes.
Detailed specifications for the 2024 Lexus GX will be announced closer to its launch around June or July. A list of features confirmed by Lexus Australia so far is included below.
