The new GX is a redesigned mid-size luxury SUV that offers a combination of rugged off-road capability and luxurious interior appointments. It's based on the on the (TN)GA-F platform, which also underpins the Lexus LX 600. This platform provides a stiffer and more rigid chassis, which results in improved handling and ride quality.
Interestingly, the GX is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine that produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid version will 'be available later', probably when they figure out how to add the battery without taking up cargo space.
The GX is available in two off-road-oriented trim levels: Overtrail and Overtrail+. These trims feature a number of upgrades, including a raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and for the first time, a locking rear differential.
The interior of the new GX is luxurious and spacious. It features a standard 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 10-speaker premium sound system.
