Lexus has revealed the third-generation GX, which will go on sale in North America in early 2024. This is the first all-new GX model since the previous generation was launched in 2009. Lexus hopes to build on the GX’s legendary off-road ability, which has been quite popular with the overlanding crowd, while also adding sophistication and luxury to take on the Land Rover Defender.

Mechanically, the new Lexus GX is powered by a 3.4-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine paired with a 10-step DirectShift automatic transmission unit. This engine is capable of producing 345bhp and 650Nm of peak torque. Additionally, it comes equipped with a 4x4 system with a low-range gearbox. Moreover, the automaker has confirmed that the GX will also get a hybrid engine later.
Coming to its off-road capabilities, the Premium and Luxury trims offer 26 degrees of approach, 23 degrees of break-over, and 21 degrees of departure angles. On the other hand, the Overtrail variant gets an approach angle of 26 degrees, and both break-over and departure angles of 23 degrees.
