2024 Lexus GX Review // Luxury In A Box

The 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail + ($77,250 starting in the US, $101,850 starting in Canada) is a long awaited refresh of Lexus’ beloved luxury offroader. Here with a fresh new boxy look and lots of new tech and features, the new Lexus GX aims to combine road comfort with off road capability. Powered by a 3.4L twin-turbo V6, the GX makes 349 horsepower and 479 lb ft of torque. It also has tons of off road goodies like available 33 inch all terrain tires, a locking rear differential, crawl control and more. But does it live up to its rather steep price tag? And does it succeed in blending off road performance with on road comfort? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode! And then subscribe, silly.

So refreshing to see a car desgined with no gimmicks. No annoying features behing a touch screen, no stupid capacitive touch buttons, a proper gear lever, etc. With so many manufacturer's trying to re-invent the wheel, Lexus got the fundamentals spot on.

14:17 Hey guys, Lexus Tech here. That beeping sound that happens in the drivers seat when you move it is actually something that's supposed to be removed during the GX PDI process, but all Lexus cars from factory come like that. I believe it's there to remind the tech doing the PDI to set the seat memory, so when it isn't set, it just beeps when moving it. All they had to do it move the seat through all of the maximum movements possible in the seat control, and it'll go away. Always love the videos guys, keep up the good work

Man this new GX is a winner, body-on-frame, 9000lb tow rating, massaging seats, and it looks that good? I’ll definitely pick this over a defender any day

The opening to this channel should ALWAYS have the helmet clip.
Always

"I'm arriving, I'm arriving" just may be both the most James and British thing I've ever heard.

As a Defender owner, I really appreciate the Japanese and American brands modernizing the cube. All these sleek but squared off designs are wonderful.

[nathanmetus]

Reviews are always thick with honesty, with both self deprecation of humour and when necessary, vehicle annihilation. As a British petrol head in his 40’s that grew up on the best years of Top Gear, I’m qualified to say that these guys are the NOW and the future. 👍🏻

The Lexus GX is one of the few new cars I would consider purchasing. Lexus is making this a very tempting upgrade

Beautiful shot at 13:28. Very clean and smooth camerawork

Lightyears better than ANY other review I've seen on the GX. You guys ROCK!!!

The best part of a defender is the comfort while waiting for a tow truck 🤣

As a Toyota and Lexus enthusiast, this vehicle brings me much joy

at 11:40 when he said ' a bronco is like youtube gave me a bronco ad, and was one of the funniest things ive witnessed on this channel

[MeesterCHRlS]

They absolutely knocked this one out of the park. One of the few SUVs I’ve really been impressed with in recent years.

[mikeyoung]

The head bump in the opening is so iconic it should live forever.

[jgelliot]

As a Bronco owner, i can confirm the highway impression.

14:10 Former Lexus mechanic here! The seat is making the beeping noise because it has not been initialized yet. Functions like seat memory and easy exit will not work until the seat has had the initialization procedure performed. Hope this helps!

I have an 07 GX470 that I love to drive. It's really fun to drive and has serious off-road cred plus the V8 has good power. This new GX seems like it retains the same type of spirit of my GX.

[ericquinn]

That’s a gorgeous interior. So clean and simple, elegant and functional. Lexus and Porsche get it, they understand something that many others seem to have lost touch with. Horizontal lines are beautiful.

*Thomas* : why am I the damsel in distress?
*James* : I think people see you as a logical victim.

I felt that.
