Lexus has updated the GX for the 2021
model year, introducing several new features while retaining the looks and
powertrain. The new Premium Plus package brings additional gear, like the
navigation system, premium audio from Mark Levinson and third-row power seats.
The heated wood-trimmed steering wheel and 18-inch silver wheels are available
with the Premium and Premium Plus packages, and the three-row luxury SUV now
has Amazon Alexa compatibility and acoustic front side glass on all trim levels.
The lineup still includes the base,
Premium and Luxury grades, all of them retaining the 4.6-liter V8. The engine
continues to pump out 301 HP and 446 Nm of
torque, providing a 2,948-kg towing capacity. The four-wheel
drive system with low-range and limited-slip center differential are also
included.
Introduced last year, the Off-Road Package
is available on the range-topper, offering extra equipment such as Crawl
Control, Panoramic View and Multi-Terrain Monitors, transmission cooler and
fuel tank protector.
The Safety System+ suite of safety gear is
standard on the entire Lexus lineup, and includes the Pre-Collision System with
Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
and Intelligent High Beams.
Customers can choose between six exterior
colors, named the Claret Mica, Black Onyx, Nightfall Mica, Starfire Pearl,
Nebula Gray Pearl and Atomic Silver. These are complemented by four interior
colors: the Sepia, Black, Ecru and Rioja Red with black headliner.
The 2021 GX 460 has a starting MSRP of US$ 53,100, whereas the GX 460 Premium and GX 460 Luxury start from US$ 55,890 and US$ 64,365 respectively.
