2015 Lexus GX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Lexus GX is a light-update year, led by standard Siri Eyes Free voice control for compatible iPhones. Otherwise, it largely carries over from 2014 with the same V8, full-time four-wheel drive, styling, and two-trim lineup.
About the 2015 Lexus GX
2nd generation GX (2010-2021), second model year after the 2014 styling and infotainment refresh.
Lexus positioned the GX as a rare luxury SUV that could handle weekday family use and real off-road travel without switching vehicles. Its core appeal was the mix of V8 power, full-time 4WD, three-row seating, towing strength, and a quieter, more upscale cabin than most traditional SUVs. Against softer luxury crossovers, the GX stood out by being more rugged and trail-ready while still delivering Lexus comfort and build quality.
The GX 460 combines a 4.6-liter V8, full-time four-wheel drive, three-row seating, and an 8-inch touchscreen in a luxury SUV built for family use, towing, and rough trails. The GX 460 Luxury adds a more comfort-focused cabin with semi-aniline leather, heated and ventilated front seats, adaptive suspension, and a height-adjustable rear air suspension.

2015 Lexus GX Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2015 Lexus GX.
4.4
2015 Lexus GX
(58 reviews)
“I love my new vehicle, I love driving it. I like to size of it, but the fact that it's not too big. I do like the way it looks, but that's just a plus. I chose it because of its features, mainly the jump seats due to the growing number of grandchildren we have. I don't want to always have to drive a vehicle as large as our Suburban when I have them.”
“Would like for the navigation system to be more interactive and faster to respond.”
