A Redesigned Foundation for Adventure
Built on the GA-F platform—shared with the Lexus LX—the 2025 GX boasts a strong yet lightweight ladder frame. This design enhances body rigidity, on-road handling, and off-road durability. Whether traversing rugged terrains or cruising on highways, the platform optimally distributes forces for superior stability. It is also engineered to withstand twisting off-road forces, maximize suspension performance, and maintain consistent tire contact and in-cabin stability. This robust platform supports Lexus dealer-available accessories like rooftop tents and recovery kits through the Associated Accessory Parts (AAP) Program.
A double-wishbone front suspension combined with a multi-link rear suspension ensures a smooth ride. Advanced features like the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) and Electronic Power Steering (EPS) fine-tune the GX’s responsiveness to changing road conditions, providing precise control and comfort in all scenarios.
Powerful Twin-Turbo Performance
The GX’s beating heart is its twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine, delivering 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission, this powertrain outperforms its predecessor’s V8, offering both higher efficiency and greater capability. It achieves an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 21 MPG.
With a towing capacity of up to 9,096 pounds on specific grades, the GX is ready to haul everything from trailers to off-road gear. The standard full-time 4WD system, complemented by a Torsen limited-slip locking center differential, ensures confident performance in low-traction situations. Overtrail and Overtrail+ trims feature an exclusive electronic locking rear differential for even greater control on rugged trails.
Legendary Off-Road Prowess
Renowned for its off-road capabilities, the 2025 GX continues to impress with standard features like a one-inch suspension lift on Overtrail trims, increasing ground clearance to 9.84 inches. The Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) dynamically adjusts stabilizer bars to balance wheel articulation and handling stability.
Critical off-road features include Crawl Control, which allows the GX to move forward or in reverse at one of five low-speed settings, and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), which tailors power delivery, braking, and suspension to various terrains. L4 mode includes settings for Auto, Sand, Mud, and Rock, while H4 adds Dirt and Deep Snow modes. The Multi-Terrain Monitor uses cameras to provide real-time visibility of the area under and around the vehicle, displayed on the 14-inch touchscreen. Key off-road metrics include approach, breakover, and departure angles of 26, 24, and 21 degrees, respectively.
Exterior Design: Rugged and Refined
The GX’s square-body profile exudes strength and sophistication. Its bold front fascia features the Lexus spindle body design, seamlessly integrating the grille and triple-beam LED headlamps. Functional elements like wide fender flares and strategically placed fog lights enhance both aesthetics and utility.
Exclusive bi-tone exterior color options on Overtrail trims—such as Nori Green Pearl with a black roof—add a distinctive flair. A power rear liftgate with a pop-out window and an available kick sensor further enhance convenience. Exterior paint options include Eminent White Pearl, Nebula Gray Pearl, Atomic Silver, Incognito, Caviar, Nori Green Pearl, and Nightfall Mica, with exclusive Overtrail trims offering Atomic Silver/Black Roof, Incognito/Black Roof, and Earth/Black Roof combinations.
Interior Comfort and Luxury
Inside, the 2025 GX combines rugged functionality with Lexus’ signature luxury. The driver-focused cockpit includes a horizontal instrument panel for improved visibility and minimal distractions. A 14-inch multimedia touchscreen with Lexus Interface technology offers intuitive controls, supported by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility.
Seating up to seven passengers, the interior features premium materials such as semi-aniline leather and NuLuxe trim. Overtrail trims add Olive Ultrasuede accents for a distinctive touch. The second row offers a choice of captain’s chairs or a 60/40 split-folding bench, while the third row includes manual or power-folding options. Cargo space accommodates up to five suitcases with the third row folded. Additional storage includes underfloor compartments and up to 12 cupholders.
Convenience features include heated and ventilated seats, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column with Lexus Memory System, and a wireless charging tray. The GX also offers six illuminated charging ports, a 120V AC inverter, and prewired auxiliary switches standard on Overtrail trims. An onboard air compressor enhances off-road practicality.
Advanced Technology and Safety
The Lexus Interface includes cloud navigation with Google-powered search, Intelligent Assistant voice commands, and available Digital Key functionality for seamless connectivity. Offline navigation mode ensures uninterrupted guidance even in areas with poor signal. An optional Mark Levinson 21-speaker surround sound system delivers unparalleled audio quality.
Safety features are comprehensive, thanks to Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. Highlights include:
- Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) for active driving support
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) for stop-and-go traffic
- Road Sign Assist (RSA) to display road sign information
- Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) for gentle steering and braking
The system also includes Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA), and Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection/Braking. Overtrail trims add Traffic Jam Assist for low-speed, hands-free driving on highways.
