CarTell take

We haven't driven the GX yet. On paper, ask whether the car you are buying is affected by the GX and LX engine recall, where Lexus has announced fixes including engine replacements for some vehicles. If you tow, choose the Sports Luxury Enhancement Pack (20 inch wheels) to restore the 3500kg rating. Service intervals are six months.

Why consider it

  • A proper body-on-frame 4WD with full time four wheel drive, a 260kW/650Nm twin turbo V6 and 3500kg towing, wrapped in a Lexus cabin with heated and ventilated front seats, head-up display and 14 inch screen as standard.

What to know

  • It is thirsty: 12.3L/100km claimed combined and 17L/100km claimed in town, on premium unleaded.
  • Second row knee room is tighter than the size suggests.

Look at the alternatives if you mostly drive in town, where an RX hybrid will cost far less to run, or you need a roomier second row.

No. Every Australian GX uses the 260kW/650Nm twin turbo V6 petrol, and CarExpert reports a hybrid GX is not a priority for Australia at this stage.

The Lexus GX in full

The GX is the Lexus take on the LandCruiser Prado: a seven seat, body-on-frame 4WD with a 260kW twin turbo V6 and 3500kg towing. Prices run from $118,320 to $130,770 plus on-roads across three grades. On paper it suits people who tow and tour, but fuel use is high and the recent engine recall is worth checking.
