2025 Lexus GX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Lexus GX is a light equipment update, not another redesign. The main change is that every trim gains driver memory settings and a power-adjustable steering column as standard equipment.
About the 2025 Lexus GX
3rd generation GX (2024-present), second model year after the full redesign.
Lexus positions the GX as a luxury utility SUV that blends real truck-based toughness with premium comfort. Unlike softer three-row crossovers, it uses a body-on-frame platform and standard full-time 4WD, yet it still puts a large touchscreen, upscale materials, and a quiet cabin at the center of the experience. Its core appeal is simple: it can handle commuting, family hauling, towing, and serious trail use without giving up the polished feel shoppers expect from a Lexus.
The GX 550 Premium is the core three-row model, with full-time 4WD, a 14-inch touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Luxury models emphasize comfort with features such as leather upholstery and front massaging seats, while the five-seat Overtrail models focus on off-road driving with a locking rear differential, specialized trail modes, and a suspension lift.
