2024 Lexus GX Priced From $64,250

The delightfully angular new Lexus GX, planned for deliveries early next year, has been given a price tag by the company’s pencil-necked accountants. While a roughly $4,000 walk from the starting cost of last year’s rig, the extra cheddar buys a far better vehicle.


A grand total of $64,250 (plus taxes, natch – but including fees like freight and PDI) gains access to Club GX, buying a Premium trim which comes with the features such as a 10-speaker sound system and snazzy ventilated seats trimmed in NuLuxe (read: fake leather). A jumbo 14-inch infotainment touchscreen is onboard, as are a 12.3-inch screen acting as a set of gauges plus expected gear like wireless CarPlay. Most trims have three rows of seating for seven passengers.


The one in which your author is interested, the two-row Overtrail trim, starts at $69,250 and is equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires and an electronic rear locker. Its electronic kinetic dynamic suspension system purports to offer a shade more capability when the going gets tough while crawl control with turn assist will permit drivers to scoot around tight turns or simply show off to their buddies for no reason other than bragging rights. It’s a steep $8,000 walk to the Overtrail+ trim, so this author will leave it and its power massaging front seats on the showroom floor.  


Remember, for now, every 2024 Lexus GX is equipped with the same engine. A twin-turbo 3.4L V6 that’s good for 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque is paired with a ten-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive. A hybrid powertrain is apparently in the works to be introduced “at a later date” according to Lexus. This is curious since there’s every chance in the world some buyers will defer their purchase until they have a chance to sample that powertrain and learn its price tag.


The 2024 Lexus GX is expected to arrive at dealerships early in the 2024 calendar year.

    This gives an indication on the price of the Prado the US will be getting. $100k in our dollars for a Lexus 4x4 is cheap (from a Toyota perspective).


    I wonder what goodies will come with this over the Prado?


    I think buying a Prado will be better value than this poser wagon.

    Attention, Elon Musk: This is what trucky things are supposed to look like in the 2020s. And it's much better than your Cyber Thingy, and a lot cheaper, too... and didn't take five years or so to design and bring to production.

  • Lorenzo This car would have sold better if there was a kit to put fiberglass toast slices on the roof.
  • Lorenzo The Malibu is close to what the 1955 Bel Air was, but 6 inches shorter in height, and 3 inches shorter in wheelbase, the former making it much more difficult to get into or out of. Grandma has to sit in front (groan) and she'll still have trouble getting in and out.The '55s had long options lists, but didn't include a 91 cubic inch four with a turbo, or a continuously variable transmission. Metal and decent fabric were replaced by cheap plastic too. The 1955 price was $1765 base, or $20,600 adjusted for inflation, but could be optioned up to $3,000 +/-, or $36,000, so in the same ballpark.The fuel economy, handling, and reliability are improved, but that's about it. Other than the fact that it means one fewer sedan available, there's no reason to be sorry it's being discontinued. Put the 1955 body on it and it'll sell like hotcakes, though.
  • Calrson Fan We are already seeing multiple manufacturers steering away from EVs to Hybrids & PHEVs. Suspect the market will follow. Battery tech isn't anywhere close to where it needs to be for EV's to replace ICE's. Neither is the electrical grid or charging infrastructure. PHEV's still have the drawback that if you can't charge at home your not a potential customer. I've heard stories of people with Volts that never charge them but that's a unique kind of stupidity. If you can't or don't want to charge your PHEV then just get a hybrid.
  • AZFelix The last time I missed the Malibu was when one swerved into my lane and I had to brake hard to avoid a collision. 1 out of 5⭐️. Do not recommend.
  • 2ACL I won't miss it; it was decent at launch, but in addition to the bad packaging, GM did little to keep it relevant in the segment. I'd prefer that another domestic automaker doesn't just give up on the mainstream sedan, but unlike some of Ford's swan songs, the Malibu made an indifferent case for why they should live.
