Post a Comment

2026 Lexus GX Review - One of the most exciting luxury SUVs to hit the market. Blending serious off-road capability with Lexus refinement, the all-new GX enters a bold new generation that’s tougher, smarter, and more luxurious than ever before. Let’s take a full look at the U.S. version of the 2026 Lexus GX.

Exterior Design

The 2026 GX gets a total design overhaul, now looking more aggressive and adventurous.

  • Boxier profile with a more upright, truck-like stance
  • Lexus’s signature spindle grille is squared off and bold, flanked by slim triple-beam LED headlights
  • Pronounced fender flares, a tall beltline, and squared rear windows for a rugged silhouette
  • Available 20-inch wheels, with 18-inch all-terrain options on off-road trims
  • New color options include Earth Matte, Atomic Silver, and Incognito

It’s a clear signal: this GX isn’t just for suburbia — it’s built for serious trails.

Interior & Features

Inside, the 2026 GX delivers luxury without compromising durability.

  • 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 14-inch infotainment touchscreen standard
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Premium trims include semi-aniline leather, real wood accents, and ambient lighting
  • Available heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats
  • Three rows of seating with optional captain’s chairs for the second row
  • Power-folding third row and up to 90.5 cubic feet of cargo space

The GX finally feels modern, but it’s still tough enough to handle the outdoors.

 Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the GX ditches the old V8 for a powerful twin-turbo V6:

  • 3.4L twin-turbo V6, 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque
  • Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
  • Full-time 4WD system standard across all trims
  • Available adaptive variable suspension and electronic locking rear differential
  • Up to 8,000 lbs of towing capacity
  • Lexus offers Crawl Control, Downhill Assist, and Multi-Terrain Select

Whether you're towing a trailer or crawling through mud, the 2026 GX is more capable than ever.

Trims & Off-Road Models

The GX lineup includes several trims for different lifestyles:

  • Premium – Loaded with tech and luxury essentials
  • Premium+ – Adds ventilated seats, panoramic view monitor
  • Luxury – Full leather, upgraded sound, and wood trim
  • Luxury+ – Everything maxed out, including massaging seats
  • Overtrail & Overtrail+ – Built for adventure with unique suspension, skid plates, A/T tires, and two-tone paint

The Overtrail trims make the GX a true rival to the Land Rover Defender or even the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.

Safety & Tech

Safety comes standard with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which includes:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Proactive Driving Assist
  • Available 360º camera, off-road monitor, and head-up display

Over-the-air updates help keep features current without dealership visits.

Pricing & Verdict

Pricing for the 2026 Lexus GX starts around $64,000 for the base Premium model and climbs to about $85,000 for the fully loaded Luxury+ or Overtrail+ trims.

With power, luxury, and legitimate off-road chops, the GX is finally back in the spotlight and better than ever.
