Lexus
Large luxury off-road SUV
From $118,320 plus on-road costs
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.
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.

Drivetrain
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.
The GX550 Luxury is $118,320, the Sports Luxury is $124,840 and the off-road focused Overtrail is $130,770, all plus on-road costs.
The Luxury and Overtrail are rated at 3500kg braked. The Sports Luxury on its standard 22 inch wheels drops to 3130kg, but the no cost Enhancement Pack with 20 inch wheels brings it back to 3500kg.
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 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.
