The 2024 Lexus GX is finally here...replacing an aging model that's been around since 2010. So was it worth the wait?

This new GX is a three-row midsize SUV that shares a platform with other Lexus and Toyota trucks and SUVs -- think Lexus LX, and Toyota Land Cruiser, Sequoia, and Tundra pickup -- and shares their lightweight ladder frame.

*Powertrain*
Under the hood of the 2024 GX is a new twin-turbocharged 3.4L V6 engine that makes 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel-drive. It replaces the older V8 in the previous GX and is a jump of 48 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque over the older engine!

*Overtrail Trim*
The 2024 GX also introduces the Overtrail trim, an off-road-oriented setup at the top of the GX lineup that adds a locking rear differential, adaptive dampers, crawl control, downhill assist control, and a suspension with independently detachable front and rear anti-roll bars.

*Exterior*
Design-wise, the 2024 GX presents a rugged yet refined exterior, with a square-body profile and a bold front fascia that incorporates the Lexus spindle grille. It comes in three main grades (Premium, Luxury, and Overland, and then each of those is available as a + model, which adds a few more amenities).

*Interior*
Inside, the GX features a luxurious and modern cabin, designed with a lower, horizontal instrument panel for enhanced visibility and a spacious feel. It comes standard with a 14-inch infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a digital 12.3-inch instrument panel. The vehicle seats up to seven passengers, though the Overland model is two-rows only and seats five.

*Off-roading*
For off-roaders, the GX includes features like a limited-slip locking center differential, an electronically controlled locking rear differential, and the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) for optimal balance and wheel articulation. It also boasts Crawl Control for low-speed off-road maneuvering and Multi-Terrain Select for customized driving dynamics based on the terrain​​.

*Safety*
Every GX model is equipped with full-time four-wheel drive and a suite of modern infotainment and safety technologies, including the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, offering a wide range of active safety features​​.

So is all this going to be enough to top rivals from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Genesis, and Volvo? Check out the full video to find out!
