2021 Lexus GX 460 Review

Name: 2021 Lexus GX 460 Review
Brand: Lexus

Price Range: $38,990 - $47,998

Lexus GX 460 Base 4dr SUV Exterior. Premium Package Shown.

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

Verogirl, 03/25/2020

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 …

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

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 …

Still a Real SUV After All These Years

Materialman , 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 …
