Read on to learn more about how its powertrain and performance go hand-in-hand to deliver an unforgettable experience on and off the road.

The Powertrain

The Lexus GX comes with one powertrain: a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8 engine that pairs with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain also features standard four-wheel drive and offers up to 301 horsepower. The Lexus GX can improve low-speed torque and high-speed horsepower with Variable Valve Timing. This powertrain helps the Lexus GX move swiftly around town with gusto, allowing drivers to easily merge onto highways and pass slower traffic with ease. Overall, this powertrain is a solid addition that satisfies many drivers’ needs.

Plus, drivers can look forward to the class-exclusive kinetic dynamic suspension system. This suspension system adjusts the stabilizer bars depending on the terrain. Ultimately, this improves ride comfort and reduces body roll.

Exciting Performance

On top of providing excellent power from an awesome powertrain, drivers can look forward to plenty of exciting performance. Good steering feedback and decent handling help the Lexus GX feel playful on the road. Excellent road grip improves ride comfort with ease. Good maneuverability allows for enjoyable driving even in city streets. Plus, the Lexus GX can tow up to 6,500 pounds when properly equipped. It is hard to ignore the potential in this SUV.

Off-Roading with Confidence

A big highlight of the Lexus GX’s performance is its performance while off-roading. While it may not look it at first glance, the Lexus GX is an SUV with an adventurer’s heart. Standard four-wheel drive brings an excellent road grip, which makes it easy to stay rooted to the ground in slippery situations. The Off-Road package adds more great features, such as the surround-view parking camera system. This camera system gives the driver numerous camera angles to see all around their car when parking.

A skid plate, crawl control, and transmission cooler are more available features, all helping to make the Lexus GX versatile off the pavement. Multi-Terrain Monitor uses more cameras underneath the vehicle to see what you are driving over; this is a huge help when rock crawling or fording shallow rivers. Plus, with a plethora of driving modes, you can remain prepared for any situation on the road.
