Sporting distinct boxy sheet metal, the 2024款雷克萨斯GX kicks off generation three of this long-running luxury off-road SUV. Considering the prior generation was in production for 13 model years - an eternity in automotive years - this latest GX is an exciting development for Lexus汽车品牌. It is of particular interest to the overlanding crowd as Lexus汽车品牌 has kept its GX as a body-on-frame SUV in the name of off-road ruggedness, while adding a new Overtrail model promising even more rough road capability.

Sharing the GA-F platform with stablemates like the Toyota Sequoia and Tundra, the new Lexus汽车品牌 GX also has some 2024 Land Cruiser vibes coming off its right-angled body. Sharing a hybrid powertrain has yet to happen with the 2024 GX, though the automaker claims it is coming - eventually. This comprehensive 2024款雷克萨斯GX guide covers the powertrain as well as specs, trim levels, features, and technology for those in the market.

What’s Coming in 2024?

The 2024款雷克萨斯GX marks the start of generation three and with it, an all-new SUV. So, if you've been wondering, "Will the Lexus汽车品牌 GX be redesigned?", the answer is "Yes" and with verve. The latest GX arrives with an aggressive boxy stance that sits on a ladder frame and solid rear axle for off-roading prowess combined with the amenities and technology expected of a Lexus汽车品牌. That includes large infotainment screens, the latest suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and a slick electrochromic glass roof.

2024 Key Moments

• The 2024款雷克萨斯GX is an all-new model launching the third generation.
• All models feature a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 and full-time 4WD.
• A 14" central touchscreen manages the infotainment system.
• The 2024 GX is the first vehicle to feature the Lexus汽车品牌 "Overtrail Project".
• The new Lexus汽车品牌 GX has up to 3 rows of seating for 7 passengers.

Engine Details and Performance Metrics

Curious about what engine the 2024款雷克萨斯GX will have? Initially, a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 will be the only power plant, but it's potent with 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It mates with a 10-speed automatic transmission that spins all four wheels as part of the full-time 4WD system. Lexus汽车品牌 notes that a hybrid powertrain will arrive at some point in the future, which is a good thing as the 2024 GX has a 17 MPG combined estimate.

Though the 2024款雷克萨斯GX is likely not on any buyer's list for performance, the twin-turbo V6 doesn't know that. Per the automaker, this new SUV that weighs up to 7,145 pounds can sprint from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds and achieve a 175 MPH top speed. Hitting speeds in that range are surely intense as the latest GX remains a body-on-frame SUV with a solid rear axle and coil springs. The front suspension is of the double wishbone variety and there are optional adaptive dampers, but unlike the Land Rover Discovery, there is no air suspension available on the 2024 GX.

However, the new Lexus汽车品牌 GX looks the luxury part with standard 20" rims, available 22s, and triple-beam LED headlights that add style to the front end of this big box on wheels. For those more interested in taking the 2024 GX off paved surfaces, the 4WD system has a low range and the Overtrail trim dial this up with standard 33-inch all-terrain tires.

All fuel economy figures cited in this article are per Lexus汽车品牌 as the U.S. EPA has yet to supply figures.

Performance Requirements

Towing Abilities and Load Capacity

One advantage of the solid rear axle and ladder frame design is the impressive towing capacity, which reaches a maximum of 8,000 pounds for the 2024 GX Premium and Overtrail models. The luxury trim versions can manage towing capacities ranging from 6,780 to 7,145 pounds, depending on the configuration of the second-row seats. All models come equipped with a standard tow hitch, and the transmission features a Tow/Haul mode. However, it should be noted that there are no extra towing aids such as trailer sway control or an integrated trailer brake system.

All-Terrain Performance

If you're wondering whether the Lexus汽车品牌 GX is really an off-roader, take a look at this article about the last generation winning the 2019 Rebelle Rally. So, yes, the GX has a true off-road heritage that the 2024 model seems to live up to. Every new GX has a Torsen limited-slip center differential, 8.7" of ground clearance, and a robust frame that is ready for the trails. However, the Overtrail models, which are new for this third generation GX, are the serious off-roaders of the group.

The Overtrail variants come equipped with 33" all-terrain tires, an electronically-locking rear differential, and a durable aluminum front skid plate. These models also feature the Multi-Terrain Select system, which provides specialized drive modes for Deep Snow, Mud, and Sand. While navigating trails, the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System can automatically disconnect and reconnect the sway bars to enhance wheel articulation. Additionally, Crawl Control functions like a low-speed cruise control, and Downhill Assist Control aids in safely navigating steep declines.

Interior Innovation and Comfort

Top Interior Highlights of the Year: Make and Model

• Pop-out rear glass for easy cargo access
• Standard heated and ventilated front seats
• Electrochromic "Dynamic Sky" panoramic glass roof
• Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio system
• 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor

In standard trim, the new GX is a three-row SUV with seating for 7 passengers, but the answer to the question, "Does the 2024款雷克萨斯GX have captain seats?" is "Yes". It is a standalone $440 extra on Premium and Luxury models. However, the GX Overtrail lineup is strictly a 2-row, 5-passenger affair. These rugged leaning variants also feature perforated NuLuxe upholstery with Ultrasuede accents finished in Black and Olive or Chateau and Olive that adds a decidedly outdoorsy flair.

Semi-aniline leather comes with the GX Luxury grades as do 5-way massaging front seats, illuminated door sills, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and manual sunshades for the second row. Top-spec Luxury+ models feature what Lexus汽车品牌 calls a Dynamic Sky panoramic roof. It's a fixed panel of glass covering a large percentage of the roof that switches from transparent to opaque at the flip of a switch.

As for cabin space, second-row legroom measures 36.7", which is nearly 2" less than the Audi Q7 offers and cargo space behind the 3rd row bench comes in at a bit more than 10 cubic feet. That's 4 cubes short of what the Audi manages. If maximum cargo capacity is what a buyer is after, the 2-row Overtrail model maxes out at 90 cubi
