See The 2024 Lexus GX 550 From Every Angle

This white example is the Luxury+ model, which has 22-inch wheels and body-color fender flares.

Seen here in Nori Green is the off-road–focused Overtrail model, which has upgrades like Lexus’ E-KDSS suspension and a locking rear diff.

The Overtrail’s bumper designs are slightly different, plus it gets a front skidplate and a black roof.

The new GX is a few inches bigger than the outgoing model in nearly every dimension, but the front and rear overhangs are shorter.

The GX’s nicely chamfered bodywork is a masterclass in surfacing, especially when viewed in the Arizona desert at sunset.

Instead of the old swing-out tailgate, the 2024 GX has a traditional top-hinged tailgate, and it still has a separately opening rear window.

Every GX comes with these awesome multibeam LED headlights.

Overtrail models also get 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires; other trims have 20s or 22s with regular all-season tires.

I love the new side-view mirror design.

The headlights and taillights are mounted as high up as possible for the best visibility when off-roading.

The 2024 GX looks so much better than the outgoing model.

It even looks good in boring “colors.” (Not pictured in this slideshow is the excellent beige color that’s available on the Overtrail.)

The interior is a gigantic improvement over the old GX, with wholly modern tech, excellent ergonomics, great build quality and nice materials.

A 14-inch central touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster are standard, running Lexus’ latest infotainment system with navigation, OTA updates, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and USB-C connectivity.

Depending on trim, the center console knob can control on-road drive modes, off-road drive modes and the new Crawl Control feature. The switch aft of the traditional shifter controls the four-wheel-drive system.

Overtrails have olive green suede inserts on the seats, plus contrasting stitching and other nice accents.

As standard the front seats are heated and ventilated, and in models like this Luxury+ they have 10-way power adjustment and a lovely massage function. Nearly every luxury feature, including the seats, are available on the Overtrail.

The second row is available as a three-across bench or as dual captain’s chairs with a center console.

Every GX except for the Overtrails comes standard with a two-person third row that is power-folding, and all passengers have more room in nearly every metric. At 5'9" I’m able to comfortably fit in the third row.

With the third row up cargo space is tighter than before...

...but fold the second row down and you’ve got lots of room.

The twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 is paired with a 10-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive. It puts out 349 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, up from 301 hp and 329 lb-ft from the old GX’s V8.
