PLANO, Texas (Dec. 13, 2024): Following its highly anticipated debut in 2024, the Lexus GX receives significant updates for 2025. Designed to inspire exploration and cater to both on-road luxury and off-road prowess, the 2025 GX introduces new standard features while maintaining the legendary performance Lexus enthusiasts expect.
The 2025 GX is crafted to encourage adventurous travel while delivering advanced technology and thoughtful interior enhancements. Its legendary off-road capabilities are matched by a luxurious and refined driving experience. Offered in six grades—Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, Overtrail, and Overtrail+—the GX provides a model for every adventurer.
For a detailed breakdown of standard and available features by grade, consult the GX specifications.
The GX is built on the GA-F platform, also featured in the Lexus LX. This ladder frame construction enhances body rigidity and improves on-road handling, all while supporting off-road durability. The platform enables:
- Increased suspension performance for better wheel articulation.
- Stability in challenging terrain.
- Compatibility with dealer-installed accessories like rooftop tents and recovery kits via the Associated Accessory Parts (AAP) Program.
The GX features a double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, achieving a balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability. Available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) further adjusts damping forces based on road conditions. Additionally, Electronic Power Steering (EPS) ensures responsive handling both on and off the road.
Powering the GX is a twin-turbocharged 3.4L V6 engine paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission. Key performance highlights include:
- 349 horsepower, surpassing the previous V8’s 301 horsepower.
- 479 lb.-ft. of torque for smooth power delivery.
- EPA-estimated 21 MPG highway fuel economy.
- Towing capacity of up to 9,096 lbs. with a standard tow hitch receiver (depending on grade).
This refined powertrain delivers consistent acceleration, making it versatile for both urban commutes and off-road trails.
The GX has long been celebrated for its off-road prowess, and the 2025 model takes this legacy further:
- Full-Time 4WD ensures reliable performance across diverse terrains.
- Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades now feature a one-inch suspension lift, raising ground clearance to 9.84 inches.
Off-Road Technologies:
- Torsen® Limited-Slip Center Differential: Distributes engine power 50:50 for better control in low-grip conditions, optimizing stability during turns and on uneven surfaces.
- Electronically Controlled Locking Rear Differential: Available exclusively on Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades, it evenly splits power between the rear wheels to maximize traction.
Advanced Systems:
- Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS): Balances off-road drivability and on-road handling by dynamically locking and unlocking stabilizer bars.
- Crawl Control: Offers five low-speed settings for controlled movement in challenging terrains.
- Multi-Terrain Select (MTS): Provides tailored driving modes for varied conditions, including Auto, Sand, Mud, and Rock.
- Multi-Terrain Monitor: Uses cameras to display underfloor and surrounding views on the 14-inch touchscreen for enhanced visibility.
The GX also boasts an impressive 26-degree approach angle, 24-degree breakover angle, and 21-degree departure angle for rugged terrains.
