Lexus GX Lands at Last: As Capable as LX But Smaller

2024 Lexus GX 550 Lands Ready the Rugged Stuff

Hold onto your Akubras, folks! Lexus has just dropped a brand-new SUV that’s bound to make waves in the rugged Aussie outback and the urban jungle alike. Enter the all-new Lexus GX 550, a hulking beast of a 4×4 that slots perfectly between the more domesticated RX and the ultra-luxurious LX. With this new addition, Lexus is bringing serious off-road capability wrapped up in a package that screams luxury. Let’s get down and dirty with what the GX 550 has to offer!

I read recently where Lexus was created for the American market that desperately needed a luxury import. The locals wouldn’t accept Toyota as a luxury brand so Luxury Export US was born, or L EX US. Do you suppose that’s true?

First up, this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill SUV; it’s a statement. A statement that says, “I like my champagne chilled and my dirt tracks not.” Available in three flavours—Luxury, Overtrail, and Sports Luxury—the GX starts at $116,000 and stretches up to $128,200 for those who want all the bells, whistles, and maybe a trumpet or two.

The Luxury grade isn’t playing around. With a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, this seven-seater packs enough grunt to put a smile on any petrolhead’s face. It’s not just about power, though. Inside, you’re swathed in Lexus’s famous omotenashi—think heated seats, power everything, and a suite of tech that’ll have your mates green with envy. There is nothing wrong with taking a hotel suite into the outback.

If you’re the kind who likes to take your luxury off the beaten path, the Overtrail grade has your name all over it. Priced from $122,250, it’s got all the off-road goodies you could dream of—18-inch black alloys, all-terrain tyres, and the pièce de résistance, Lexus’s first Electronic-Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (eKDSS). This wizardry keeps things comfy on the tarmac while giving you rock-solid stability when the road turns to rubble.

For those who want their rugged SUV with a side of opulence, the Sports Luxury grade is where it’s at. Rolling in at $128,200, this variant throws in everything but the kitchen sink—semi-aniline leather, 22-inch alloys, a panoramic roof, and a Mark Levinson® sound system that could make a road trip soundtrack sound like a live concert.

But it’s not all about the bling. The GX 550 is built on a rigid GA-F ladder-frame architecture that promises durability and strength. Perfect for tackling those never-ending corrugated outback roads or just dealing with Sydney’s pothole-laden streets. The exterior design is all about that bold, unmistakable Lexus look—think big, bold grille, LED lighting that could guide ships into the harbor, and enough chrome to make a magpie weep with joy.

Inside, it’s a seamless blend of utility and luxury. The cabin is spacious and comfy, with enough tech to make you feel like you’re piloting a spaceship. A 14-inch multimedia display, a head-up display, and a plethora of USB ports mean you’re always connected, even in the middle of nowhere. And with a raft of safety features like dynamic radar cruise control, lane trace assist, and a panoramic view monitor, Lexus has you covered.

And let’s not forget the perks! Every new GX comes with a three-year subscription to the Lexus Encore owner benefits program, which includes VIP events, premium fuel discounts, and more. And if you want to go full luxe, the Encore Elevate program offers even more goodies, like access to a fleet of Lexus vehicles and valet parking at select spots. How’s that for living the high life?

So gay camper, whether you’re hitting the sand dunes, the snowfields, or just the local shops, the new Lexus GX 550 has got you covered. With its mix of rugged capability and high-end luxury, it’s the perfect companion for Aussie adventurers who demand the best of both worlds. Get ready to blaze some trails, Lexus style! It’s like dating a cross between James bond, a gent’s club, and a pocket knife.
