edmunds TESTED
The 2021 Lexus GX 460 is a bit of a mixed bag. It's as solid and well built as ever, but parts of it are almost comically old. And while the engine is strong and smooth, the braking is poor. Other luxury SUVs have surpassed the GX 460 in almost every way.

Smooth ride

2020 Lexus GX 460 4dr SUV 4WD (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
I've had my 2020 GX for over a month now. I read lots of reviews on this SUV and could have changed my mind if I based my decision solely on that. The ride is smooth and solid. I traded in a 2014 Lexus LS so I know what a smooth ride is. The technology may not be as updated as other SUVs but it is more than adequate for me. I live in Florida and the mpg are running 18.6 city and 23 … highway. Not great but when calculating the cost per year it's not a big deal. Besides safety and reliability are always the top priority.
Monster ride

2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury 4dr SUV 4WD (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
This car is all black, even the wheels. Its a solid ride. The driver’s seat molds to your body. Playlist all synced in. This is the 3rd GX 460 for me. This one has the smoothest ride so far. I rack up the miles, so a very safe car is essential. I can’t imagine a car any better than this monster.
Reliable Luxury Meets Off-road Grit
5 out of 5 starsSam, 05/01/2020
2020 Lexus GX 460 4dr SUV 4WD (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
If you are looking for an extremely luxurious SUV that can take you anywhere without breaking down, this truck should be the only one on your list. The inside, while on the traditional side, is classically ergonomic with an aura of luxury. The interior will remain in-style for years to come, while the flashy interiors in other luxury vehicles will quickly become dated. This vehicle is … the smoothest SUV I have ever driven, and the V8 engine provides effortless power. I have owned multiple vehicles, including a Land Rover Range Rover and a BMW X5, and the Lexus GX leaves those cars in the dust in terms of overall visibility, quality, safety features, ergonomics, smoothness, and quietness. Even more so, this Lexus will last for years to come without any issues.
With this vehicle being based on the Toyota Prado body-on-frame platform sold abroad, there is the promise of Toyota bullet-proof reliability, which is a quality that virtually no other luxury SUV can offer in today's market. While the truck is tall and large, it is surprisingly maneuverable, and it has an incredibly small turning radius for its size. I have no problem driving this SUV in cramped parking lots. The standard safety tech is more than enough to ensure you have no issues going from point A to point B. I personally believe the Premium Trim (which is the version I purchased) has more than enough features, but the Luxury Trim is a great option for those who want a little bit extra off-roading and convenience features.
If you are looking for a vehicle that is flashy, new, and cutting edge, this truck is not the SUV for you. But, if you are looking for a reliable SUV that is easy to drive and that can take you anywhere (with tons of cargo) in luxurious style without breaking down, the Lexus GX is the only option you should consider.
Still a Real SUV After All These Years
5 out of 5 starsMaterialman , 02/02/2020
2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury 4dr SUV 4WD (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
Thanks Lexus for not messing up a good thing. For me, an SUV has to be able to take me most anywhere I want to go, not just to the mall. It has to be able to tow, it has to have 4 wheel drive, with a low range transfer case. I love the additional safety of full time four wheel drive. It has to have a V8 for towing and passing power when loaded. It has to be comfortable, safe, and have a … real frame, like a truck. Most SUV’s today are car based, basically a car that sits higher. My wife drives one, a Lexus RX350, it’s her fourth one, she loves it, it’s nice and it works for her, but I’ll take the GX any day. There’s not many SUV’s on the market left like this and Lexus quality and reliability are as good as it gets. Some folks might call it “old school”, and that’s ok, I take it as a compliment. Update: GX has given me zero issues, running and driving perfect. Drove it 700 miles the other day and was getting 22-23 mpg, which I think is very good. Great SUV!
Update: The GX continues to perform perfectly. I have had zero issues, the paint and interior still look new and no squeaks or rattles of any kind. It’s a pleasure to own.
