The age-old saying is true: it’s about the journey; not the destination. The all-new GX was designed to
inspire customers to pursue their urge to travel, take an unpaved path, immerse themselves in nature and
revel in the joy of driving. As part of that journey, GX blazesthe trail as the first vehicle to bring the global
Lexus “Overtrail Project” to life. The 2024 GX builds upon the strong foundation created by the outgoing
generation, and brings the intuitive technology, thoughtful interior touches, and continued off-road
prowess that Lexus guests have come to expect.

Next Chapter Design
Rugged Yet Refined Exterior:
The all-new GX presents an unmistakably aggressive exterior design that exudes the tough, rugged
persona that it has earned time and time again. Lexus designers were intent on expressing the off-road
functionality of a true body-on-frame SUV. Their guiding light was envisioning GX customers enjoying
refined outdoor experiences, and, as such, they were determined to design a GX that exemplifies the
juxtaposition of a tough exterior with a calming, lux, and modern interior space.
The 2024 GX will be offered in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, and all-new for Lexus,
Overtrail and Overtrail+.
The 2024 GX introduces a noticeable change from the previous generation with a square-body profile
with a horizontal design motif. From the front, the all-new GX continues the Lexus spindle body concept
with an all-new bold, resolute design that also aids in off-roading functionality. To achieve the grounded,
stable stance, designers created a taut body with a wide track and fender flares, pulling the front pillar base
to the rear. The overall width increases by 3.74 inches (Overtrail by 4.52 inches) compared to the
previous-generation GX. The Premium Triple Beam LED headlamps and grille opening have been raised
to help avoid potential road impact. LED fog and cornering lamps are available for increased visibility. The
front overhang has been decreased by 0.78 inches for improved clearance. The powerful front presence
is led by the seamless grille and headlamp integration.
From the side, the 2024 GX presents a solid, powerful presence featuring a horizontally flowing body
with an increased wheelbase of 2.36 inches. The A-pillar has been pulled back for increased visibility in
addition to the lower belt line and improved ground clearance. The overall length of the 2024 GX is
increased by 2.75 inches. Contributing to the strong presence are the hard-to-miss 33-inch tires with 18-
inch wheels on the Overtrail gradesfor optimal off-road performance. Rear tread is increased by 3.26
inches for Premium and Luxury grades and 4.06 inches for the Overtrail grades.
At the back, the square, aggressive stance is continued with the signature unified L-shaped light bar. The
updated LEXUS logo is a continuation of the Next Chapter design originally introduced on the 2022 NX.
And, based on customer feedback, the all-new GX will feature a standard power rear lift door (GX first)
with a pop-out window and an available kick sensor for hands-free convenience.
The 2024 GX will be offered in 11 exterior color options depending on grade: Eminent White Pearl,
Nebula Gray Pearl, Atomic Silver, GX-first Incognito, Caviar, Nori Green Pearl, Nightfall Mica. The
Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades will offer exclusive bi-tone exterior color combinations including Atomic
Silver/Black Roof, Incognito/Black Roof, Nori Green Pearl/Black Roof, and Lexus-first Earth/Black Roof.

Looks really good honestly. Reminds of an FJ with the mirrors and vertically sloped windshield.

[MikoLanthierFrechette]

The 2024 GX feels more like an actual suv compared to 95% of the crossover market. This brand new generation shows that the GX deserves more love and attention and be a potential land rover rival rather being a glorified 4runner.

[ra_redesignautomobiles]

When they said theyll gonna crush the Lamd rover and mercedes benz g wagon.. its a no kidding, and they're serious.

[andali]

The new 4Runner and Prado will be amazing

[beaumkl]

Lexus has out-defendered the Defender.

[caliboy]

That's one ugly SUV. DANG LEXUS YOU FAILED US AGAIN.

[ItsMeCJ]

That’s definitely reminds me of the Land Rover but with a Lexus spin. I wasn’t expecting this! Nice!

[erictate]

Gorgeous design Lexus the only thing this truck needs is a V8 engine Option 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪👍👍👍👍

[jxmar_]

Holy crap it’s sick asf! I am impressed. This By far outdoes the NX and RX! This is giving me hope. They’re giving the attention to detail that they used to give back the in 2000s. Love to see the old quality come back

[mrgurulittle]

Holy son of a gun!! Toyota won’t let us down for even a second! L O V E IT!❤ They did the right thing making it boxy looking.💯

[adecarlo]

First impression - Disappointment. I was considering getting one. It’s ugly and the number designation doesn’t make sense. Did they just pull 550 out of a hat? I’ll stick with my 04 GX470.

[Rickster]

Love it!! I was on the fence with the LX. I’m definitely replacing my 2010 Cayenne with the GX!!

[mark_u]

Definitely the more impressive vehicle of the two launched today. Appreciate how the GX has a more cohesive interior design than the top-dog LX. Good thing there's no F Sport on here too. Now put the Overtrail trim on the LX, Lexus! 😅

[tonicgin]

The GX being a global product really received much much more love from the design team.

[Nerdzombiedisco]

Gorgeous...I just ordered an NX. But if I could have waited, that 2024 woulda been the one.

[Film]

Not going to lie it's pretty ugly

[tahamht]

Its funny that the GX interior is way better than le LX. Pretty ironic

[arielguadalupe]

BEAUTIFUL Exchanging my defender for this one ASAP in nori green!!!!

[donaltemus]

Front end looks great. Side view it’s ugly as sin. Wheels are aweful. Engine alone I’ll never purchase. Ordering a 23 soon. 1 more mpg.. and they didn’t give us a V8 option. F-Lexus

[this_dude]

Lexus nailed it!! I love the design and interior so much!
