The 2020 Lexus Gx emerges as a striking example of how luxury seamlessly blends with robust capability in the premium SUV segment. For those seeking a vehicle that commands attention on city streets and confidently tackles challenging terrains, the 2020 Lexus GX delivers on all fronts. This updated model year introduces a refreshed aesthetic, enhanced off-road prowess with an available Off-Road Package, and the peace of mind of standard Lexus Safety System+.
The 2020 Lexus GX makes a bold statement with its revised signature spindle grille, a design element that firmly plants it within the modern Lexus family. This assertive front fascia is beautifully complemented by new standard Premium triple-beam LED headlights. These not only provide superior illumination but also contribute to the SUV’s sophisticated and contemporary appearance. For those desiring an even more distinctive look, the available Sport Design Package adds exclusive touches, including a unique lower grille surround, rear valence, side mirrors, a matte black exhaust tip, eye-catching scarlet taillamps, and stylish 19-inch alloy wheels finished in Gunmetal Metallic. This package elevates the 2020 Lexus GX’s visual appeal, ensuring it stands out from the crowd.
Beyond its captivating aesthetics, the 2020 Lexus GX is engineered for versatility. It effortlessly transitions from the daily urban commute to weekend adventures off the beaten path. Powering this luxury SUV is a robust 301-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine, generating 329 lb.-ft. of torque. This potent engine, combined with a substantial 6,500-lb. towing capacity, makes the 2020 Lexus GX an ideal companion for those with active lifestyles, easily accommodating boats, trailers, or recreational equipment. Trailer Sway Control, integrated within the Vehicle Stability Control system, further enhances towing confidence by ensuring stable straight-line tracking.
Inside the 2020 Lexus GX, handcrafted details and meticulously selected materials define the luxurious cabin. An available wood and leather-trimmed heated steering wheel provides a touch of refined elegance and tactile comfort. The available semi-aniline leather upholstery, dyed completely through for lasting beauty, surpasses conventional surface-dyed leathers in quality and richness. New for the Premium and Luxury trims in the 2020 Lexus GX is the sophisticated Gray Sapele wood trim accented with aluminum, adding a modern and upscale feel to the interior. Seating for up to seven passengers ensures ample space for family and friends. Heated and ventilated front seats are available as a standalone option on the base model and come standard on Premium and Luxury models, maximizing comfort in any climate. The Sport Design Package for Premium and Luxury trims also offers second-row captain’s chairs, further enhancing passenger comfort and accessibility.
The 2020 Lexus GX is not just about luxury and power; it’s also about intelligent technology that enhances both driving dynamics and connectivity. The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) is a standout feature, optimizing handling and ride comfort both on and off-road. By automatically adjusting to uneven surfaces, KDSS helps maintain vehicle levelness, ensuring all four wheels remain grounded for optimal traction and stability. For even greater on-road refinement, the available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) employs electronically controlled dampers that respond to road conditions in real-time. Drivers can further personalize their driving experience with selectable Normal, Sport, and Comfort modes within the AVS system.
The full-time automatic four-wheel drive system in the 2020 Lexus GX ensures confident traction in diverse conditions, from paved roads to challenging trails. A TORSEN® torque-sensing limited slip center differential intelligently distributes power, adapting to wheel slip for optimal grip. For serious off-road adventures, the four-wheel drive system includes a low range, and the center differential can be electronically locked. This robust system is further supported by Downhill Assist Control (DAC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), and available Crawl Control, empowering drivers to confidently navigate unpaved roads, trails, and steep inclines.
For those who truly seek to explore beyond the pavement, the available Off-Road Package on the Luxury grade 2020 Lexus GX elevates its off-road capabilities to new heights. This package incorporates advanced technologies like Lexus’ Multi-Terrain Monitor and Panoramic View Monitors with front, rear, and side cameras, providing comprehensive visibility of the surroundings, including under-vehicle terrain. It also includes a transmission cooler, fuel tank protector, Crawl Control, and Multi-Terrain Select. Multi-Terrain Select allows drivers to optimize vehicle settings for various surfaces, including loose rocks, mud, sand, and moguls, by automatically adjusting engine throttle and brakes to regulate wheelspin and maximize traction. Crawl Control, activated with a simple button press, automatically maintains a steady low speed over challenging terrain, allowing the driver to focus solely on steering.
Staying connected is effortless in the 2020 Lexus GX, thanks to the intuitive Lexus multimedia system featuring a touchscreen with a customizable home screen. The available navigation system with 3D maps provides enhanced guidance. Rear passengers will appreciate the addition of two USB ports, bringing the total to four throughout the vehicle. Lexus Enform Safety Connect provides added peace of mind with access to response centers 24/7 for the first 10 years of ownership. Lexus Enform Service Connect keeps drivers informed about vehicle maintenance needs. The Lexus Enform Remote service, included for the first year, allows remote control of door locks, engine start, climate control, and more via smartphone, smartwatch, or devices enabled with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
Safety is paramount in the 2020 Lexus GX, which now comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ across all trims. This comprehensive suite includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Intelligent High Beams, and High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. The Pre-Collision System is designed to detect vehicles or pedestrians in the vehicle’s path and can provide warnings and automatic emergency braking. Lane Departure Alert helps prevent unintentional lane drifts. Intelligent High Beams automatically adjust between high and low beams for optimal visibility without blinding other drivers. High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control maintains a preset speed and following distance, enhancing safety and convenience on the highway.
