The GX is entering its fourth year in the current generation , and apart from some minor cosmetic repairs last year ( color keyed bodyside molding , and high - gloss wheel finish for the new Premium models ) mid - size SUVs has seen some changes . As gently rounded take on classic SUV proportions - crossed with some obligatory ' engine ' cue brightwork here and there borrowed from the Toyota Tundra pickup truck as large as - GX 460 is not extroverted or flashy . But the carved - out fenders and the tall , imposing beltline that makes it look quite trucky , and separate from the rest of the Lexus lineup , except the LX . Inside , the look and layout of the upright and trucklike , certainly , but short on typical Lexus standards for materials and trim details .

With low running boards , chrome trim around , and what could be seen as a smooth interior , you might not expect the GX 460 into a serious rock - crawler . In that case , you would be correct ; but at the same time it is certainly more than any other off-road fraudsters . There is also a low range for the body-on - frame ute tough , a number of electronic control that will help you maintain control in a variety of conditions , and the center diff lock true that you use for sand , mud , or snow . And full -time four-wheel drive system includes a Torsen center differential , distributes power 60 percent to the rear wheels in normal driving , with more sent to the rear wheels under acceleration ( not only when wheel slip ) ; so nimble in the snowy driveway , too .

In GX you sit very high relative to the beltline , at least compared with other new vehicle , so there is a great outdoor visibility . Padded seat and plenty of support combine with plenty of headroom and legroom for making this place a really fun place to be . The second row is roomy , too , but behind the GX is somewhere between disappointing and disastrous packaging . The third row is small and not practical , because it is difficult to obtain , and the odd ( and mandatory ) power - folding mechanism robs a lot of space in the back , keeping the cargo area of the flat and low . And then there are the side - opening hatches : It depends on the right, which means that you have to find your way around when the loading of the pavement .

Although the roots of the truck GX 460 , Lexus has equipped with all the comfort and luxury features general , while the premium steps up to an additional feature-rich infotainment and technology . Intuitive Park Assist , 330 - watt Mark Levinson surround - sound system , and a rear seat entertainment system is one extra . So two different security package technologies that together can bring the system pre - collision , a driver attention monitor , dynamic cruise control , intelligent high-beam assist, crawl control , lane departure warning , and a wide - view front and side monitor . Nav system is available in GX comes with Enform suite of services , including Destination Assist service that allows remote programming operator assistance purposes .
