- The Lexus GX 550 Malbon Edition features a topographic map wrap inspired by golf courses.
- Captain’s chairs are fitted in the second row, with pull-out storage in the third.
- It also boasts custom badges, white wheels, and bespoke design elements throughout.
First off, get your head out of the bunker—foursomes is just a golf game with four players, not what you were thinking. Moving on, golf fans absolutely drool over big, cushy SUVs, so naturally, Lexus teamed up with a fancy golf brand to create a special version of the 2024 GX 550. This one-off, named the Malbon Edition, will tour across the rest of this year’s golf season.
An intricate green theme makes the GX stand out from any other we’ve seen in the past. The wrap depicts a topographic map of the fairways on a golf course and includes bespoke Malbon Edition badges. Lexus has also finished the roof in white and installed a set of single-dish white wheels.

We’re not convinced by this choice of wheels and think a set of flashy chrome pieces or gloss black rims would have been more appropriate. But I’m not a car designer, and someone on the design team obviously thought they looked good.
A roof rack adds to the go-anywhere appeal of the GX and supports a pair of large boxes from Pelican, boosting its cargo-carrying capacity and serving as the perfect place to keep longer clubs, including woods and drivers. A black Yakima side awning is also present.
Alterations have also been made to the interior. The second row is equipped with plush captain’s chairs, and the third row has been replaced with a pull-out storage box. This box is large enough to fit four golf bags, golf balls, tees, shoes, and towels. Lexus and Malbon have also crafted some unique steel scuff plates for the special GX 550.
“Through our collaboration with Malbon, we’ve built a GX that will deliver a golf outing to remember,” Lexus marketing manager Nicole Peterson said. “From a custom fairway wrap to a pull-out storage box capable of holding golf bags and clubs, and special Malbon touches throughout the vehicle, this GX is luxury and adventure redefined for the golf enthusiast.”
This very special Lexus will make appearances at the Oregon Buckets Club Golf Tournament, Columbia Edgewater, IMSA Petit Le Mans, Road Atlanta, Buckets Club Tournament, The Grand Golf Club, Lexus Maldon Invitational, and Miami Shores Country Club.
