A redesigned #LexusGX has been long overdue! Thankfully, #Lexus seems to have delivered with the more powerful, stylish, and capable 2024 #LexusGX550. The #GX550 builds on the capable #LandCruiserPrado platform and elevates the design and luxury features to befit the Lexus brand. Unlike the reborn #ToyotaLandCruiser, this models comes standard with a twin-turbo V6 engine under the hood, but expect a #GXHybrid to follow next year.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. We'd like to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video, to claim your special offer, be sure to go to keeps.com/redline. We also plan to be uploading our review on the new Toyota Land Cruiser later this month and we also have a GX 550 Overtrail trim coming next month and we plan to do some off-roading testing with that trim. Stay tuned!
With what someone would pay for using Keeps on a daily basis for the rest of their life and the results are dubious at best, getting a hair transplant would probably be more cost effective and would have better results. C’mon man, let go of some of that RUclips / Toyota / Lexus endorsement money and get a hair transplant.
Sofyan, how was the on road body roll in this compared to the Overtrail Plus?
Put 10k miles on our Luxury + so far. Upgraded from a Genesis GV80. Very happy with GX! Smooth, quick, sweet look. Massage seats, ventilated seats, cool box, pararoma roof, etc. If you need extra stitching and extra ambient lighting, go with Genesis/Hyundai. If you want true quality and reliability, go with the Lexus.
After experiencing Genesis and even the new Infiniti QX80, Lexus really needs to step up their interior materials. Soft touch plastic just won’t cut it anymore when others are using stitched leather. They could’ve also used a faux stitching to cut cost, but they didn’t even do that.
@@ajlee6933 they won’t. Lexus is done as a brand. They’re history. They’re slowly going out of business even though no one wants to believe that
@@naveenthemachine But not a lackluster.
@@naveenthemachine Lexus sales are higher than they've ever been in the past 20 years... WDYM they're "history" ??
@@naveenthemachinethey have a massive and established market here in the Middle East but I don’t know how they’re doing in other markets
@@naveenthemachine are you simple?
Luxury plus version....
with no third row
with the overtrail wheels/tires.
perfect.
yes cant stand 3rd rows
Would swapping the luxury plus wheels/tires for overtrail ones solve the ride quality issues?
isn’t that just overtrail plus?
@@sish9912 over trail models have no 3rd row and opt to delete the moon roof
The only thing I cant stand is the lack of a flat platform windowsill armrest like its Land Cruiser counterpart has. That’s where my left arm/ elbow naturally rest, and in the GX it aggressively slopes downward. I had an RDX back in the day with a similar design and I thought to myself, never again… It’s the little things like that which make a big difference in the everyday livability of a vehicle.
We had a Ford company car that was like that once. The regular arm rest on the door was too far from the seat. Literally no where to rest your arm. Drove us mad!
I like the GX, but from the lack of a luxurious interior, you can tell that the Land Cruiser was the main focus here.
It’s hard to qualify vehicle as having a “luxurious” interior these days when a $30k hyundai sonata has leather, heated and cooled seats, dual 12” screens, self driving tech, ambient lighting, moonroof, good sound deadening, upgraded audio system, etc.
I think the GX is fine inside. Luxury comes from build quality and materials, as well as sound deadening, and a powertrain that gives you ample power when you need it and fades into the background when you dont. The GX fits that description well I think.
@jr1885 I've seen multiple comparisons of the two and though people have said the GX doesn't feel as luxurious as it should, it still has a nicer feel and materials compared to the LC.
@@jakes5530 your description of Luxury is 100% accurate. Luxury is NOT tech and gimmicks. Every car has that now. Luxury is about materials plain and simple
@@jakes5530 Yup, lexus has never had the most luxurious interiors as far as features but the durability of what they do have is very impressive
@@jakes5530it's "premium" vs luxury. premium materials
My assessment is based on what I observed at the Auto Show in California. For comparing this SUV, I recommend examining others. To attend, both my wife and I had to pay a $30 fee, and I was particularly eager to personally see the Lexus GX due to the hype surrounding it as a large off-road SUV.
Before I outline the positives and negatives, I want to express my anticipation spanning decades for the GX to unveil a new design. However, I am disappointed with what I encountered.
Pros:
* The shape is commendable, featuring a perfect boxy design akin to competitors such as the Defender, Jeep Cherokee, and GMC.
* While the central infotainment system is not groundbreaking, it maintains consistency with other Lexus models, which is acceptable.
*
Cons:
* There are numerous drawbacks. The model I viewed exceeded $77k and lacked the ML sound system.
* The absence of a panoramic sunroof, now a standard feature in modern vehicles, detracts from the luxurious experience.
* The panoramic sunroof in the Luxury+ model is underwhelming and seems to mimic the idea from the Venza, which has been on the market for over six years.
* The quality of leather and interior falls short compared to other SUVs in the same price range. Even the Toyota Highlander boasts superior interior quality.
* The exterior feels excessively plastic, particularly upon contact with the bumper, hood, and other body panels.
* Leather quality across all trims is subpar.
* Fuel economy poses a significant issue in 2024, averaging only 17 mpg.
* Many materials exude a cheap feel, failing to deliver a luxurious experience.
* If one opts for all available options on the Lexus GX 550, it may be preferable to choose the LX 600, which offers a higher level of luxury and power.
* For a better depiction of luxury, consider examining the Infiniti QX80: ruclips.net/video/NMzD7nLQlDY/видео.html
I've been a longtime enthusiast of this SUV, but now, even surpassing $80k plus tax, it's hardly worth the investment. In 2024, there's a myriad of alternative options I've contemplated, including the Ford F150 Electric, Rivian, Cybertruck, GMC Denali AT4, Sequoia, and the Volkswagen Atlas Off-Road version, among others, boasting advanced technology and commendable qualities.
Toyota and Lexus seem to be marketing very basic vehicles under the guise of reliability. Many individuals I conversed with at the auto show shared my sentiment that the GX 550 pales in comparison to the 460 in terms of quality, feeling cheaply constructed.
Toyota and Lexus dealers hyping these vehicles on social media to attract buyers.
This SUV no longer epitomizes luxury, not by a long shot. If you disregard reliability and juxtapose it against brands like BMW, Audi, and Land Rover, it's disheartening to witness its decline.
Purchasing this vehicle entails enduring it for another six years solely to mitigate depreciation, while numerous other automakers are already introducing superior and more advanced technology.
At present, I must explore alternative options, as this SUV is not worth $95k out of the door, if you're fortunate enough.
Best wishes with your new purchase. Just bear in mind, many individuals are compensated for endorsing Toyota and Lexus brands, and I've encountered numerous instances of Toyota dealers leveraging social media to generate interest in these vehicles.
In conclusion, this is merely my perspective. Enjoy your new purchase
I knew this would be so disappointing 😁
The biggest Toyota hater me kept saying everywhere that this would happen. Everyone laughed yet when they saw the end result they didn’t acknowledge that I was right
Those wheels are outrageously big. also it's both port and direct injected
hi chibby 👋🏾
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD hello! 22's on the 460 when? hehe
How manufactures are like... small engines for fuel economy and yet they do it and get the same gas mileage as if its a V8... .should just keep the V8.... LOL
It's more about the emissions than fuel mileage...a v6 is smoother as well
and turbos need to be replaced eventually. Those V8 are still on the road with 3-4hundred thousand miles still going strong. That’s why the old models are so popular.
its regulatory
@@truckercowboyed2638 These Toyota V6TT aren't getting a stellar rep anytime soon. The V8's were smoother and much more reliable.
@@truckercowboyed2638if fuel economy is the same, emissions are the same.
But actually fuel economy is slightly better with a smaller engine plus turbo.
Mpg numbers are a deal breaker. Hopefully the hybrid comes out sooner rather than later.
So are we not gonna talk about how this carries the same engine and powertrain as the faulty Toyota Tundra?
He did…..
@nicholasbabeaux2052 LOL, yes he did! Time stamp 26:30, "...and it's a good engine." Nothing more to say here folks! This engine may not have the same problem (2024 so far isn't part of the Tundra recall) but I believe a bit of elaboration on this point would be helpful.
@@flamesfan2635 he mentioned the platform is shared but nothing more. We all know the engine is a ticking bomb.
disappointing Lexus has quietly eliminated real/fake wood interior trims as well as chrome body trims on the exterior. considering how much counter Toyota vehicles are now equipped and designed, not sure Lexus is worth extra $$. Lexis is now copying the GM/Ford badge engineers?
All the manufacturers are eliminating wood trim. Plus wood trim was marketed as luxury just like leather is marketed as luxury. It’s like the debeers marketing for engagement rings. It’s BS…
Wanted to replace my 2021 CX-9 with this but it's way too small with a child seat and I'm also 6'3
Also have a CX-9 and was considering this or the TX
I have 21 Lincoln Navigator and I was really excited about the GX 550 but after watching this I’m not anymore. I mean I guess the is still an off road luxury vehicle but I was really hoping for more.
All that plastic interior reminds me of the Honda element.
Love the looks of these. Really stands out among the dime a dozen mid-size SUVs that everyone has.
Hope more square vehicles like the Wrangler, Bronco, GX continue to enter the market.
If they put a PHEV it will likely be a contender.
Fake engine noise in an 90k car? No thanks.
Is this engine the same problematic one found in the Tundra ?
Yes
Yes and no. Simple research goes a long way. Tundra is assembled in Texas. There was a recall due to machine debris entering the engine during the manufacturing process. The gx is assembled in Japan. So same engine different manufacturing plant meaning no recall
I love this rig. Love. It. Thanks for posting!
This is perfect for me. I just want a defender alternative. Just have a wife and kid. Occasionally drive some clients around. Perfect.
Thanks Soyfan, this vehicle is wonderful. Lexus, simply the best 👍
Lexus is the best?
No they’re not 😂
@@naveenthemachine I've heard about you. You're that Toyota bashing, alternative universe guy. 😂
@@naveenthemachinesorry troll, you are so wrong lol
@@naveenthemachineyes not a lackluster.
@@jonathanratliff4780 how?
Is the gx universally attractive? Nope.
Does it look like a much more expensive car? Nope
Does it have a luxurious interior? Nope. Just the same Toyota grade plastics abound
Does it have state of the art technology and features? Not really. Massaging seats are nice I give you that but it’s not exclusive to just this car. Other rivals offer it too.
Is it roomy? Nope. Before you say “if you want more room get a TX”, a grand Cherokee is focused on off-road capability yet it’s simultaneously roomier.
Does it perform and drive well? Nope.
Does it ride nicely? Nope
Is the pricing nailed in? Nope. It’s overpriced
Is it reliable? Well the twin turbo v6 has issues and the cheap materials lead to poor build quality. Just look at the TX and RX as an example.
You got 5.9 seconds with the qx80. The armada and qx80 are slept on!
Nah. Nissan products (and Infiniti by extension) are pieces of junk. They haven’t made good cars since the early 2000s.
At this price the sunroof doesn’t open? Consumers, we have to stop settling for this nonsense. When do we say enough?
So, did lexus fix engine issues ?
Love the exterior, but the interior just doesn't match. I'm not a Toyota/Lexus fan, but this design is gorgeous and I can't deny being drawn to it. But that interior is just a big let down. Especially at the price
Lexus quality is not what it used to be. Material choices on the interior and even mechanically.
The native navigation system is actually great.
Dang, the telluride is so much better for the cost
I would never pay 60k+ for a Kia 👎🏾
@@brittanyb5942 they’re 35-55k, I got one fully loaded for 51k out the door. Look for deals, don’t over pay.
Also, the “self drive” and all other features of Kia are some of the best out there. Take look at reviews and drive one and you’ll see. I was fully ready to pay a lot more for the Lexus until I learned these things. I can afford a whole lot more, but I need a car that fits adults in the third row and still fit a stroller & gear in the cargo area
@@brittanyb594235-55k range. I paid 51k out the door fully loaded. Look for deals, don’t pay sticker.
Kia’s “self drive” tech is some of the best, you can clearly see they took inspiration from Tesla but it doesn’t have a camera on you which is great. Three comfortably in the third row and room for cargo, it’s all around better
Looks like they aimed to save money on the interior. To me, the doors don't seem to be soundproof or heavy.
Does this GX or TX have a smoother/softer ride quality? Thank you for your attention in advance!
J-WAGON! Yessir. Perfect Moniker!
I gotta go test drive one. I’d wrap it matte black and throw some 26’s on it
I’m 35 and I don’t care I love “grandpa” smooth cars. Shame Lexus doesn’t make them like they use to .
Lexus marketing took over and luxury left the building
That's a very close door to the seats in the third row. That's a missed opportunity. The space between the third row and cargo is extremely small
Too funny that there are a lot of poor bastards hating in the comments, yet Lexus is selling each and one of these.
Exactly, I'm loving my NX 350 F Sport. And now looking into this or the LX. Regardless what they say this is still going to sell like a black Friday bargain
@@asclepj because the people who buy this are sheeps who don’t know anything
Sure lexus outsells genesis Mercedes Audi and bmw. But does that mean the Lexus is better looking, more luxurious, more tech laden, more fun to drive and also faster acceleration than those? No it doesn’t.
@@naveenthemachine boohoo cry some more resident Toyota hater. Go regurgitate some more garbage like you always do.
@@asclepjwhat I put out isn’t garbage. It’s facts. That’s something you clearly need education on😂
@@naveenthemachine Your 🤡 comments are getting predictable….step it up🥱
You guys should get a premium plus and compare it to this. See if it’s worth the extra 10 grand. Definitely doesn’t look like an interior of an 80 grand car.
If you dump the third row how does the parcel shelf work or does it not have one
A friend of mine just picked up his GX today.
The lagging is bad.
It’s a mixed bag at the end of the day. Some good, some bad. If you don’t tow or off-road often there are better choices.
@@paulbugoni2846 anything is better than the GX. Literally any other competitor
@@naveenthemachineYour 🤡 comment quota has been achieved today 🥴
11:55 that key was introduced in 2018..
Given the price, interior looks more utilitarian than luxury
My wife is passively shopping for a new SUV ever since she had a pretty big repair bill on her 09 Infiniti FX35. She has her heart set on a Macan, but in the process of researching SUVs, I came across the GX 550, and I'm honestly tempted to trade in my '22 Lariat for one of these babies lol. I'm not going to do it, but I'd be lying if the thought hasn't briefly crossed my mind!
it sucks until the engine issue gets resolved
Your paying 75k for an suv and Sunroof doesn't even open what?
*Lexus GX is always the answer!* ❤ *And for the love of all things holy: set the tire PSI at 33psi COLD... dealers are notorious from cranking up the psi to 40-50psi* 😂
Do you know if getting a Luxury plus and just swapping out for Overtrails tires/wheels would solve the ride quality issues? Or is the lack of EKDSS on Luxury Plus the issue?
@@contrariangrin it'd be better for sure. luxury plus has AVS which helps
@contrariangrin many reviewers are not establishing the COLD tire psi on these GX550s... dealer/press vehicles may have their PSI incorrectly raised... best bet is to take an actual test drive a dealer to verify psi and ride quality
Lexus/Toyota loyalist and apologist here. You’re gonna praise whatever they put out and that’s obvious because this vehicle is an embarrassment in this day and age for a $80,000 luxury product.
@@G-Rated nice try naveen
Interior needs a bit of luxury refinement. Dash, doors and steering wheel looks cheap for the price point.
Here's my opinion, if you want an upscale off-roader, this is a fabulous choice, I like the Land Rover Defender too but I hear they are unreliable (ik the GX might have issues rn but knowing Lexus in the next 1-2 years most of the problems should be fully sorted), however if you are exclusively driving on-road and don't intend to off-road, there are other better options (some of which are cheaper than the GX too)
Very handsome suv
The lagging would drive me crazy wtf
I am curious how the GX550 drives but I never see myself giving up my 2020 LX570.
Seems like it needs to be faster
None of the new Lexus interiors look expensive or luxurious at all, I guess they are now only serving their most loyal customer base.
I feel like Sofyan has reviewed every Toyota/Lexus SUV a bunch lately lol
This car has been phenomenal
Why is it so hard to get a reliable, comfortable (soft riding) and spacious luxury SUV these days? The German are all after sporty firm rides and Lexus can’t tame the truck chassis… the roads here are all massive potholes and luxury means I don’t want to feel them.
I'm searching for that too, on the EV side. Shocking how little choices we have. What I found so far:
A) BMW iX: Super ugly but insanely comfortable seats. Tons of soft padding and and just coddles you. Haven't driven it but I've read multiple reports on how quiet and comfortable the ride is.
B) Mercedes EQS SUV: Just watched an Out of Spec motoring video where they race a Tesla Model X, Rivian R1S and EQS SUV from Colorado to Vegas. You can clearly hear the interior noise levels. EQS was dead quiet inside, Model X slightly noisier, and R1S MUCH noisier.
C) F-150 Lightning: I'm not a truck fan in general, but I'm seeing endless reports on how the truck's indy suspension results in an old style cadillac floating ride. It's also super quiet as well. This is at the top of my list with EQS SUV a close 2nd.
Huh? No they aren’t. The X7 and GLS ride like a cloud with their standard air suspensions. The only exception is the GLS 63 which much firmer.
Joe Raiti is definitely gonna zonk that exposed rear wiper, lol!!!
Is the TX the largest Lexus? I think it’s the LX right?
The interior does not look as high quality as even some Genesis, Mazda, and even Kia products.
A $65k GMC Acadia Denali is more luxurious and even has superior technology compared to this fully loaded Lexus GX. The Acadia also is more practical with better cargo space behind the third row. How are they able to manage this for $10,000 less? Lexus is a scam.
On camera Lexus interiors don't look that great, but in the field they hold up extremely well. For instance, the piano black trims will go 2 decades with no scratches on the Lexus but will be scratched up if you sneeze on them in the Hyunda/Kia or Mazda products...
This model was desperately in need of a refresh, especially the interior. I'm on the fence however as the outgoing exterior was unique for the segment. This model now looks like a Defender wanna be however is still easily distinguishable as a Toyota product and is eerily similar to the new Land Cruiser (no surprises there, of course). The price is the deal breaker for me. Too many amenities are lacking, even on the highest trim level and the slam when the rear glass closes is shocking. Competition is stiff and provides more in this segment and Lexus should at least have offered optional soft close doors, rear ventilated seats, and metal speaker covers. This is really just a classy tow truck for your boat, RC, or trailer. The abysmal mileage figures will only decline further with a heavy payload so it better have a huge gas tank. All that said, GX devotees will love it as the older models pale in comparison so they'll probably see decent sales in the US (unless gas prices skyrocket). The LX600 would be the Lexus choice for this segment given, at the end of the day, you're spending six figures for a fully optioned GX.
Hi, in comparison to previous gx 460, thoughts on the ride with the gx 550 - different, same, etc? ty
very nice 7 seater family vehicle.
Not going to mention the engine problems Toyota / Lexus is having?
The GX is a great value in its segment. I saw it in person a couple of months ago. It is a sharp vehicle. However, Lexus is smart. They have created a solid lineup for their SUVs. I think the TX is a better buy for most families, while the GX is more of an enthusiast car.
The GX isn’t a great value at all. You can get a GMC Yukon AT4 with 4-corner air suspension and a much better packaged/practical interior for much less or a Denali for about the same money. This is the farthest thing from an enthusiasts product and this ain’t even the off-road targeted trim which means this expensive one ain’t going off road either.

@@CarGeek360 agreed.
That rear bumper is got to be the plainest I've ever seen.... it's quite ugly as well as the tow hitch cover. Lexus definitely has to improve a few things here, overall it's quite nice. So many players in this segment, don't I think it's going to sell more than 30,000 a year? We shall see

Twin turbo v6 causing issues.
Should be called Gx340. Predecessor 470 and 460 were named after their displacements.
Tell that to bmw and mercedes
Too much tech, too much luxury, too much money. Can hardly find a base model anything anymore.
Akio Toyoda has been cheapening interiors, increasing engine noise and hardening the ride.
HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!!!!!
Their profits are increasing though, so he’s probably not going anywhere anytime soon.
Need review of the overtrail sofyan can you review one
No Bueno with that engine, so sorry the GX460 is a better vehicle. It's a heavy large vehicle and gas mileage should not be an issue. The V8 should still be an option for buyers. Screw the CAFE ratings, it's a huge vehicle... make more corollas to lower the CAFE ratings. LOL
Just need a trim level that has air suspension on it and I would pay $80k for it. Especially for the "luxury level "
Was waiting for this to replace my aging 2011 gx 460. Went to a dealer to test drive one and can't believe how cheap the interior looks, full of poor quality looking plastic. The plastic on the center console moves when lightly pressed on! My 2011 looks and feels much better made than this.
❤ love it. Lexus hit a grand slam. Great review sir. Keep up the good work.
A grand slam with the bases empty.
Blows my mind how Toyota can mess up this bad and people consider it a “grand slam”. The cargo area behind the third row cubbies weren’t even large enough to fit a license plate in there. There are Nissan Sentras more practical and better thought out than this “large luxury SUV”.

Interior looks soooo cheap. Hard injected molded plastic is unacceptable
Plastics everywhere, no wood trim , no functioning moonroof , kdss suspension not standard across all trims …talk about a step backwards
Disagree on moonroof. I’ve never once opened a sunroof (it’s pointless with aircon), just an item that breaks. This type of moonroof makes much more sense for 90 percent of people who never open it.
But it may be reasonable at this price point. Look at the domestic truck prices…same if not more for a work truck!
