2018 Lexus GX Exterior

The Lexus GX is one of those rare SUVs that is still constructed with traditional, truck-based, body-on-frame construction, lending it extra toughness and off-road ability. It comes standard with roof rails to compliment its towing abilities and cargo capacity, which underline its desire to leave the pavement behind.

2018 Lexus GX Interior

The GX can seat up to seven passengers in three rows of seating, although the middle bench seat can be replaced with more spacious captain’s chairs which reduces that number to six. Leather seating is standard, and on higher trim levels the interior comes with three-zone automatic climate control, allowing back-seat passengers to decide on their own temperature.
