2024 Lexus GX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Lexus GX is a full redesign and the first model of its third generation. Its headline change is a new truck-style GA-F platform that underpins a thoroughly reworked GX 550.
About the 2024 Lexus GX
3rd generation, first year of an all-new redesign.
Lexus positions the GX as a true body-on-frame luxury SUV that can handle family use, long trips, towing, and real trail work in one vehicle. Its core appeal is that it does not follow the softer crossover formula used by many midsize luxury SUVs. Instead, it pairs full-time 4WD, strong towing ability, and rugged hardware with a polished cabin, large-screen tech, and Lexus comfort. That mix of everyday luxury and genuine off-road credibility is the GX’s main differentiator.
The GX 550 Premium and Premium+ are the family-focused three-row versions, while Luxury and Luxury+ emphasize richer materials and long-distance comfort. The new five-seat Overtrail models focus on off-road driving with a locking rear differential, specialized trail modes, and suspension hardware that helps keep the wheels in contact with uneven ground. Every trim has full-time four-wheel drive, a 14-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A 349-hp, twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 and 10-speed automatic replace the previous 4.6-liter V8 and 6-speed automatic. Maximum towing capacity rises to 9,096 pounds.
Styling
The redesigned GX has a boxier body, wider stance, shorter front overhang, new front-end design, and a single rear light bar spanning the tailgate.
Safety
Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 becomes standard across the lineup, bringing features such as adaptive cruise control and lane centering.
Tech
Every trim gains a standard 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display.
Structural
The GX moves to a new GA-F ladder frame with a new suspension layout and electronic power steering. The lineup also gains the five-seat Overtrail and Overtrail+ off-road trims with specialized trail hardware.

2024 Lexus GX
(23 reviews)
“Fun to drive, but the gas mileage is not great. Does not come equipped with a cargo cover.”
“I love the styling and capability of my Lexus GX 550 and it's still extremely comfortable and quiet with great technology. There is a design issue with the drivers seat belt digging into your hip on occasion and the voice control tech is slow to respond and is not as intuitive as my Tesla. Overall, very luxurious and capable SUV that catches everyone's attention.”
