2024 Lexus GX price guide for Australia, model range outlined

The 2024 Lexus GX four-wheel-drive is due in Australian showrooms in the middle of this year – at the same time as its Toyota Prado twin – in three model grades.

Prices are yet to be announced, however Lexus dealer estimates indicate the GX – initially powered solely by a twin-turbo petrol V6 – may start from about $110,000 plus on-road costs.

If correct, the GX would be about $20,000 more expensive than the current, top-of-the-range Toyota Prado, however the new model due in mid-2024 – with 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel power – is expected to cost more than the outgoing Prado.

The previous two generations of the Lexus GX – both based on iterations of the Toyota Prado – have been sold primarily in North America, however the new model will go global, and be built in left- and right-hand drive for the first time.

Three models will be offered: the entry-level seven-seat Luxury, five-seat off-road-focused Overtrail, and flagship seven-seat Sports Luxury.

While a 2.4-litre turbo-petrol hybrid 'GX550h' will be available overseas, the only engine in Australian models for the time being will be a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6, developing 260kW and 650Nm.

It is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive. The maximum braked towing capacity is 3500kg in the Luxury and Overtrail, or 3130kg in the Sports Luxury.

Standard features in the Luxury include synthetic leather-look seat upholstery, a 14-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital instrument display, 20-inch wheels, head-up display, power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, and a full suite of advanced safety technology.

The Sports Luxury adds features such as 22-inch wheels, massaging seats, Mark Levinson premium audio and a panoramic glass roof, while the Overtrail gains 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres, unique styling, a locking rear differential, e-KDSS suspension, and other off-road-themed extras.

A list of standard equipment – as announced by Lexus Australia – is below.

The Luxury and Sports Luxury will offer seven exterior colours, while the Overtrail is planned to offer two single-tone and four two-tone colours, the latter with a black roof.
