The 2023 Lexus GX is a third-generation midsize luxury SUV built for both off-road capability and on-road comfort. It moves to a new platform, dropping the older V8 in favor of a modern twin-turbo V6 powertrain while retaining its rugged body-on-frame character.
Lexus GX at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Introduced in June 2023, the third-generation Lexus GX represents a significant shift for the longstanding nameplate. It is positioned as a highly capable, premium K3-class SUV designed for drivers who need genuine off-road performance without sacrificing daily comfort. Moving away from its predecessor's soft lines, this iteration adopts a much more utilitarian, boxy aesthetic. Available in specialized trims like the off-road-focused Overtrail and the premium Luxury+, the new GX targets both outdoor enthusiasts and traditional luxury buyers. A major mechanical update is the transition to a modern 3.4-liter twin-turbo engine, replacing the naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8, which brings improvements in both output and efficiency.

Lexus GX overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the new GX is defined by a squared-off, muscular stance. The front end features a reworked cross-structure grille integrated with a body-color protective panel, while the headlights are mounted high to protect them from trail debris. Its profile is characterized by wide wheel arches, pulled-back A-pillars, and a lowered window line that improves outward visibility. At the rear, the SUV features the brand's signature L-shaped light bar. Overall dimensions span 5,000 mm in length, 1,975 mm in width, and 1,825 mm in height, sitting on a 2,850 mm wheelbase. Wheel options vary significantly by trim, ranging from 18-inch alloys with off-road tires on the Overtrail to 22-inch wheels on the Luxury+ variant.
Interior
Inside, the GX utilizes the Tazuna cockpit concept, focusing on intuitive placement of controls to minimize driver distraction. The cabin can be configured with either five or six seats depending on the specific model. The dashboard is anchored by a prominent 14-inch touchscreen display that handles multimedia functions, including standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Seat ergonomics have been updated to provide better lower-back and pelvic support during extended trips. Higher trims offer features like ventilated and massaging front seats, a head-up display, and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system.
Performance
The third-generation GX abandons the old 4.6-liter V8, transitioning to a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6. This new engine produces 354 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque (available from 2,000 to 3,600 rpm), marking a substantial increase in overall capability. Power is managed by an Aisin 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. The SUV utilizes a full-time all-wheel-drive system. Top speed is rated at 175 km/h, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of approximately 7.0 seconds. The GX is built on a robust suspension setup featuring a double-wishbone front and a four-link rigid axle in the rear, aided by adaptive variable suspension (AVS).
Practicality
As a large luxury SUV, the GX is designed for serious hauling and utility. With the rear seats folded, the cargo area offers up to 1,300 liters of storage capacity, accommodating bulky items like bicycles or camping gear. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats and varying five- or six-seat layouts provide flexibility for different passenger needs. Features like a power tailgate with a hands-free opening function and an opening rear glass hatch add everyday convenience. Ground clearance and approach angles are optimized for trail use, particularly in the Overtrail trim.
Safety and tech
Standard safety equipment includes the third-generation Lexus Safety System+, which incorporates adaptive cruise control, a pre-collision system, and lane keeping assist. The GX also features a blind-spot monitor, safe exit assist, and a panoramic view monitor (PVM) for easier parking and trail navigation. A notable addition for off-road stability is the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS), which improves wheel articulation on uneven terrain. Advanced driver aids like proactive driving assist and front cross-traffic alert round out the active safety suite.
Buyer notes
Shoppers looking at the 2023 Lexus GX should carefully compare the Overtrail and Luxury+ trims, as they cater to different use cases. The Overtrail is specifically geared toward off-roading, featuring 18-inch wheels, specialized off-road drive modes (Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control), and the E-KDSS suspension. In contrast, the Luxury+ trim focuses on maximum comfort, equipping 22-inch wheels, a Mark Levinson audio system, and a panoramic roof. Fuel consumption is estimated around 12.3 liters per 100 km in a mixed cycle, which should be factored into operating costs.
