Introduction to the 2025 Lexus GX

The Lexus GX is a midsize luxury SUV that stands out from others in its class because it’s built on a truck-based platform, making it more capable of tackling off-road terrain.

There are three rows of seats and room for up to eight people in the GX, and it offers an impressive amount of cargo space. If you fold down the third row, you have 40.2 cubic feet of cargo space, while folding down both back rows gives you 76.9 cubic feet of space.

The Engine: Power, Performance, and Efficiency

The Lexus GX 550 has a 3.4-liter turbo V-6 engine that delivers 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It works with a capable 10-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive comes standard with every trim level.

The twin-turbo engine is smooth and steady, offering consistent acceleration, making it easy to control the amount of power you’re sending to all four wheels, whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating tricky off-road terrain.

Safety and Stability Features for Secure Towing

The 2025 GX has many safety features that help keep you safe, whether towing a heavy load or hauling the kids around town. Below are some of the features that you’ll get with this SUV as part of the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0.

Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection

This system alerts you of a potential frontal collision with a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian. If you don’t apply the brakes, the GX will do it for you to help avoid a crash.

Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

This adaptive cruise control system works when driving on the highway. It uses cameras and radar to keep the GX a set distance from the vehicle in front, even when driving in stop-and-go traffic.

Lane Tracing Assist

The Lane Tracing Assist system can detect lane markers on the road and will use active driving assist to keep your GX centered in its lane.

Emergency Driving Stop System

The emergency driving stop system can detect if you’re not paying attention. It will send an audible warning to alert you, and if you don’t react and start actively driving again, the system will bring the GX to a gradual stop.

Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist

If lane markers and boundary lines are visible and the GX is driving at speeds above 32 mph, the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist system will alert you if it senses that the SUV is moving out of its lane without using the turn signal. If you don’t take corrective action, the system will make steering corrections to keep you in your lane.

Traffic Jam Assist

If the conditions are right, the Lexus GX can drive itself through stop-and-go traffic with minimal help from you.

A Comfortable Cabin for Any Drive

All the passengers in the GX will have a comfortable ride. It comes with features such as synthetic leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and power-adjustable front seats. The Premium+ trim adds driver’s seat memory settings and heated second-row seats. The Luxury further steps things up with the massaging front seats and second-row sunshades so the rear seat passengers can keep the sun out of their eyes.

Technology in the GX will keep you connected and informed on your drive, whether you’re towing a boat or camper to a weekend adventure or driving around town. The 14-inch touch screen for the infotainment system has crisp, clear graphics, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility make it easy to connect your phone with all your apps and contacts.
