The 2022 Lexus GX comes with a host of impressive features that include good safety technology, off-road capabilities, and standard all-wheel drive. This mid-size SUV is designed to please those who want luxury and reliability at an affordable price and need an SUV that can accommodate a lot of passengers. Versatility defines the GX as well with its impressive off-road capabilities that will make any adventure, whether it’s around Englewood, NJ, or well into the countryside, a relaxing and fun ride.
1. Off-Road Capabilities
The GX is a body-on-frame SUV with impressive off-road capabilities. The GX’s Off-Road Package includes features such as Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select that help tackle multiple terrains. It also has Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i), which helps it deliver increased torque and horsepower on rough terrain. Other impressive features include a Stabilizer Bar Adjustment system, which reduces body roll and provides greater suspension travel on rough surfaces.
The GX is also a favorite of off-road enthusiasts, and Lexus has already proven its off-road abilities with the GXOR concept. It features a lift kit, lockers, a snorkel, a front winch, and a massive light bar. The GX comes with a 4.6-liter V-8 engine that produces 301 horsepower and is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, standard all-wheel drive, and a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds.
2. Good Safety Tech
This is a four-door SUV that seats up to six or seven passengers, depending on trim. It has a new standard safety technology package called Lexus Safety System+ and comes with features such as automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, and pedestrian detection. There is also a front parking sensor, which is new on this model.
3. Excellent Suspension
The Lexus GX is also a solid vehicle to drive. Its suspension is soft and ponderous, giving it a smooth ride without being either floaty or buoyant. The trick suspension is available only on the Luxury trim, but it uses hydraulic fluid to push down on the oversize anti-sway bar during hard cornering. Another option is a height-adjustable air suspension, which can increase ground clearance and suspension articulation.
4. Infotainment System
The infotainment system comes with a 10.3-inch touchscreen and includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa integration so drivers may make phone calls and listen to music hands-free. The Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound Audio System is also available, and drivers may choose the Lexus Enform Wi-Fi hotspot so passengers can connect up to five devices to the Internet.
The Lexus GX is an impressive, luxury SUV designed to meet the needs of those who love off-roading or just want to carry a lot of passengers comfortably and safely.
