Lexus has updated the GX for the 2021 model year, introducing several new features while retaining the looks and powertrain.
The new Premium Plus package brings additional gear, like the navigation system, premium audio from Mark Levinson and third-row power seats. The heated wood-trimmed steering wheel and 18-inch silver wheels are available with the Premium and Premium Plus packages, and the three-row luxury SUV now has Amazon Alexa compatibility and acoustic front side glass on all trim levels.
The lineup still includes the base, Premium and Luxury grades, all of them retaining the 4.6-liter V8. The engine continues to pump out 301 HP (305 PS / 225 kW) and 329 lb-ft (446 Nm) of torque, providing a 6,500-pound (2,948-kg) towing capacity. The four-wheel drive system with low-range and limited-slip center differential are also included.
