With their superior fuel efficiency as well as refined on-road dynamics, car-based crossovers are the ride of selection for most luxury buyers seeking large cargo infinite as well as an elevated seating position. Though their numbers bring quickly diminished due to the popularity of the crossover, at that topographic point all the same be a few traditional, truck-like SUV models that tin hook their means through treacherous trails as well as over steep hills - if that's the capability that yous need, or would merely experience safer knowing that yous have, thence yous should give the GX 460 a unopen look.

This SUV packs the correct gear for heading off the beaten path, including a two-speed transfer example for its four-wheel-drive arrangement as well as a crawl command arrangement that lets the driver set upwards a speed from 1 to 3.7 mph that the vehicle volition automatically maintain - fifty-fifty when traveling through ruts, clambering over rocks or traversing sandy inclines.

That isn't to tell that the GX 460 is uncouth when it comes fourth dimension to render to the pavement. It can't tally the handling sophistication of crossovers, but it's to a greater extent than wieldy than its off-roading prowess would advise due to an available adaptive pause that with computer-controlled dampers that automatically adjust to route conditions for improved responsiveness as well as ride comfort. Also included are adaptive stabilizer bars that theatre upwards to trim back trunk wind during daily driving as well as tin disconnect for ameliorate cycle joint inwards the petroleum stuff.

Inside, the GX 460 delivers what ane would await of a Lexus - fine leather upholstery, forest trim as well as elegant lines, albeit integrated into a to a greater extent than upright, truck-like pattern than most of the luxury brand's other models. New for the latest model twelvemonth is upsized eight-inch touchscreen that controls Bluetooth connectivity functions equally good equally amusement as well as navigation systems through Lexus' Enform infotainment system. Enform also includes an App Suite that lets users search the meshwork with Bing, build resturaunt reservations with OpenTable, teach painting demonstrate tickets via MovieTickets.com, facial expression upwards reviews on Yelp, banking concern check inwards on Facebook places, as well as hear to Pandora as well as iHeartRadio meshwork radio.

The GX 460 provides seating for 7 passengers across iii rows of seats, although the rearmost row is most suitable children. When it comes fourth dimension to ship cargo, folding downward the 2nd as well as 3rd row seats results inwards a sizable 92 cubic inches of stowage space.

Exterior styling was revised for the latest model year, with Lexus' corporate "spindle" grille, novel LED headlights as well as running lights equally good equally optional LED foglights existence the major changes upwards front, At the rear, revisions include clear tail lamps as well as a revised bumper, spell novel wheels complete the facial expression outside.

As its cite implies, the GX 460 uses a 4.6-liter V8 that puts out 301 horsepower (up from 263) as well as 329 lb-ft. of torque (up from 323 lb-ft.). The motor is mated entirely to a six-speed automatic transmission as well as an off road-oriented two-speed four-wheel-drive system. Towing capacity maxes out a 6,500 lbs.

As a applied scientific discipline as well as luxury packed SUV, the GX 460 is no lightweight. Its volume as well as thirsty V8 hateful that fuel economic scheme isn't pretty - officially, the EPA rates the SUV at merely fifteen mpg inwards the metropolis as well as twenty mpg on the highway.


EXTERIOR

















Something foreign happens inwards the Lexus as well as Toyota pattern studios when at that topographic point is a large critical success similar the 2012 Lexus LF-LC coupe concept that donated its olfactory organ to the IS sedan as well as RC coupe (the novel IS coupe’s name). The pattern is straight off mimicked across the CAD-CAM studio, but oftentimes the halt number is similar a bad game of telephone. Someone describing the novel Lexus spindle grille over Skype, perhaps?

Regardless, much of the grace from the master copy concept is long gone on the novel GX’s nose. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tall as well as bluff confront is e'er hard to style, but the facial expression of those drooping lower bumper vents is quite unsettling.

The LED daytime running lights inwards the headlamp edges are far to a greater extent than successful. Lexus’s white LEDs are every fighting equally brilliant as well as helpful on the route for drivers equally the Audi as well as BMW solution.

In add-on to looking cool as well as using real petty energy, LED lights are fantabulous for depression visibility conditions similar two-lane province roads. They supply an un-missable lite graphic for route safety, without the loathed high beam DRL setup from the yesteryear GX. The lite also illuminates reflective route signs to equally clear equally day.

Paired with the GX’s adaptive xenon projectors, the GX is all set upwards for lighting the dusty trail inwards the Mojave or doing curbside pick-up exterior LAX.

The clear taillights are genuinely strange. While all the same pop inwards Japan, clear taillights are nigh equally desirable equally a totaled Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Eclipse everywhere else. The internal LED chemical constituent does assist with visibility as well as safety, but the clear reflectors volition go unloved yesteryear Lexus’s fashion-aware buyers.

INTERIOR



























The biggest tidings for the chunky as well as tough interior of the Lexus GX is the long-overdue arrival of an 8-inch touchscreen unit of measurement to command infotainment, navigation as well as backup photographic idiot box camera duties.

The seating topographic point for drivers is much to a greater extent than similar the Toyota 4Runner with a high flooring but smashing visibility as well as nicely vertical steering wheel. The cycle looks great, similar to the four-spoke unit of measurement on the Ford F-150 with styled creased as well as an industrial feel. Even the depression dash of the GX is swathed inwards the total stitched leather treatment, with a few novel forest as well as color choices on the card for 2014.

Seating for 7 gets quite tight inwards the back, equally the dimensions below show. Access is also to a greater extent than hard than for most minivans (or crossovers) cheers to a high ride superlative as well as tall seats.

PERFORMANCE


The 2014 Lexus GX 460 is a conventional SUV–making it a hearty contender for rock-crawling as well as off-roading–but at the expensive of around of its agility on the highway.

It's powered yesteryear a 4.6-liter V-8 that produces 301 horsepower, as well as it accelerates willingly from 0-60 inwards only 7.8 seconds. That engine is mated to a smooth, quick-shifting six-speed automatic. Brakes are on the softer side of the spectrum, as well as its long-ratio steering is a constant reminder that the GX is to a greater extent than traditional SUV than nimble crossover.

Among the most noteworthy of the GX's electronic tools is the available Crawl Control, which micromanages momentum over the toughest terrain at crawl speeds betwixt 1.0 as well as 3.7 mph, selectable inwards 5 increments. All the to a greater extent than impressive is the measure Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which hydraulically links the front end as well as parent stabilizer bars. It serves 2 roles: Off-road it allows cycle joint spell helping press downward on the opposing cycle to maintain contact, spell on-road it aids ride lineament as well as minimizes trunk roll.

Although most of the fourth dimension nosotros similar the apartment cornering that KDSS allows, it has a knack of leading yous to believe yous bring to a greater extent than handle left than yous genuinely do. In whatsoever case, the GX feels surprisingly comfortable on a twisty route at a moderate pace, although there's no route experience through the steering as well as an artificial weighting off center. The spongy brake-pedal experience is also ane of the to the lowest degree appealing aspects.

Considering the depression running boards, chrome trim all around, as well as what could go seen equally a fragile interior, yous mightiness non await the GX 460 to go a serious rock-crawler. It's not; but it's definitely to a greater extent than than around other off-road poseur. The full-time four-wheel displace arrangement includes a Torsen centre differential as well as distributes powerfulness threescore per centum to the parent wheels inwards normal driving, with to a greater extent than sent to the parent wheels during acceleration. There's also a depression make for this tough body-on-frame ute, a host of electronic controls that volition assist yous maintain command inwards diverse conditions, as well as a truthful centre diff lock that you'd work for sand, mud, or snow.



DRIVETRAIN , SUSPENSION & BRAKES



No tidings for the buttery-smooth as well as strong Lexus V-8. This engine is all the same a dream as well as its programming is focused on delivering torque depression inwards the rev range. The quad cams are something from a Ferrari Ferrari catalog, spell the engine’s 301 horsepower as well as 329 pound-feet of torque build the large GX pretty brisk when driving hard.

The engine is a pure luxury auto gem, which makes this American-spec GX a real desirable alternative versus the jumbo 3.0-liter four-cylinder diesel fuel that serves on most other parts of the globe (in the Land Cruiser Prado).

A responsive six-speed auto is all the same ane of Lexus’s best at reading your mood as well as responding appropriately, with either slushy as well as relaxed upshifts to build metropolis driving comfy or hard boot downs for passing needs.

Sprint times remain at 7.8 seconds for the large Lexus, which tops out at an electronically express 110 mph.

COMFORT & QUALITY





If you're looking for a crossover with car-like driving dynamics, the GX isn't for you–it's built for shopper who's owned (and enjoys) a old-style, truck-based SUV. It doesn't experience rugged inside, though–rather, it's supremely refined, with almost no route or air current noise, though yous exercise hear the engine with strong acceleration. Ride lineament is quite good, whether or non yous teach the Adaptive Variable Suspension that comes with Premium-grade models, but there's a fighting to a greater extent than 'head-toss' on choppy roads.

The facial expression as well as experience of the interior appointments inwards the GX 460 is also top-notch. The GX has to a greater extent than unique interior pieces (compared to the related 4Runner) than ever before, as well as the controls felt ameliorate designed as well as less cluttered than those inwards Lexus cars, as well as nosotros loved the redesigned steering-wheel controls as well as nice, legible guess layout as well as cleanly laid-out center-stack for audio, climate, as well as nav functions.

The seating topographic point is high relative to the beltline, at to the lowest degree compared to other novel vehicles, thence there's smashing outward visibility. Front seats are nicely padded, with fantabulous back upwards equally good equally proficient headroom as well as legroom. The 2nd row is real roomy, too, as well as it's non only dissever but it slides fore as well as aft to adjust legroom as well as assist entry to the 3rd row.

That dorsum row itself doesn't build a lot of sense as well as volition teach out adults--or fifty-fifty teenagers--with their knees mashed into the seatback, with tight headroom to boot. Unfortunately, the topographic point can't go removed, as well as the power-folding machinery that's mandatory occupies around of the infinite behind, keeping the cargo flooring from existence apartment as well as low. What's more, the side-opening hatch opens on the incorrect side for slow curb loading.



SAFETY



The GX is closely related to the Toyota 4Runner, which earns fantabulous security ratings with the IIHS, thence despite the Lexus SUV's lack of recent crash examination ratings yesteryear the agencies who comport those assessments, we've rated the GX well. It also comes with a slew of active as well as passive security as well as crash avoidance features that should assist inwards the lawsuit of an emergency.

Unfortunately, with the beltline brought fifty-fifty higher than earlier as well as a thicker dorsum pillar, the blind spots bring grown, leaving yous to double- as well as triple-check when changing lanes. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 back-up photographic idiot box camera is at nowadays standard, but a wide-view front end as well as side monitor arrangement that helps a lot to a greater extent than is optional as well as requires the navigation system.

In add-on to the commons stability command as well as anti-lock brakes, Lexus claims that the GX 460 has a best-in-class 10 airbags, including front end side, parent topographic point side, as well as three-row side-curtain bags, summation human knee bags for both front end occupants. Active front end caput restraints also heighten parent touching on safety.

Safety Connect—a GPS-based roadside assistance system—is included with all GX models. And the GX 460 has a few features that mightiness genuinely assist avoid an accident. The Pre-Collision System primes the braking arrangement for emergency braking as well as employs a driver monitor system; it's packaged together with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control as well as Lane Departure Alert, sounds a buzzer to warn the driver if the vehicle strays out of lane markings.


FEATURES
















The 2014 Lexus GX comes with all of the expected luxury as well as convenience features you'd desire on an upscale SUV, as well as stepping it upwards to the Premium model adds around of the most electrical flow applied scientific discipline as well as infotainment goodies, too.

The navigation arrangement inwards the GX is packaged with Enform, which offers a suite of services delivering weather, stock quotes, as well as sports scores, alongside other things, summation a Destination Assist service that allows a remote operator to input programme your nav system.

Option-list highlights include a safety-tech package, 330-watt Mark Levinson environs sound, a rear-seat amusement system, as well as Intuitive Park Assist.

About the only conventional luxury-SUV characteristic that's non included inwards the GX 460 is a powerfulness hatch—the GX has a manual, side-opening parent door instead.


FUEL CONSUMPTION


The 2014 Lexus GX is thirsty, but only a petty to a greater extent than thence than other traditional SUVs on the market. It's rated at 15-mpg city, 20-mpg highway yesteryear the EPA, but go along inwards hear that it requires premium gasoline when it's fourth dimension to refuel.

To topographic point this inwards a positive light, inwards real-world driving we've managed to run into or shell those ratings across a pair of drives--a feat nosotros can't claim inwards many novel vehicles.
