2021 Lexus GX 460 Luxury

The GX is Lexus's body-on-frame SUV, a traditional truck-based design that stands apart from the unibody crossovers most rivals use. It drives with a relaxed, old-school feel, and the ride is smooth over most surfaces, though it's not as sharp as a modern crossover. Inside, you get a quiet, well-made cabin with real wood and leather, plus seating for up to seven when you opt for the third row. Expect the usual Lexus dependability here, but the GX is an older design with a dated infotainment system that uses a touchpad controller. The Luxury trim sits above the Premium and Base, adding features like adaptive variable suspension and a Mark Levinson audio system. Its 4.6L V8 makes 301 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, and returns 16 mpg combined.
