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.

28-Cars-Later So the company whose BEVs are without proven lifespan and mired in recalls wants to further cheapen materials and mfg costs of the very same thing they already cannot sell? I don't know if Ford is going to still exist in 2030 (assuming the nation still does of course).
Fred We want our manufacturing to pay good wages, provide healthcare, not pollute and provide a safe workplace. Many places around the world don't, so we put a tariff on them to force them. That's the way it should be, but I'm afraid this is just a political move by Biden to take away one of Trump's talking points.
Orange260z Modern Cadillac sedans look and drive great. Yeah, the interior materials aren't quite as good as the competition, but if they undercut them in price it can offset. IMHO, they need to step up in a big way on their warranty, service and customer service. H/K/G shows confidence in the quality of the product by offering long standard B2B warranties and low-cost exclusionary extensions. My Caddy became a money pit after the warranty with only 75K kms; yes, the Germans do that, but they have the established cachet that they get away with it. They need to make sure that their cars still look good after 10 years (i.e. no trim issues, no undercarriage rust issues, etc) - my CTS was all rusty underneath after two years, they told me that was acceptable and not under warranty. Cadillac needs to do more.In Canada, there are few (if any) standalone Cadillac dealerships; they are typically co-located with all the other (remaining) GM brands. However, this doesn't have to be a kiss of death - Lexus successfully built their rep despite co-location, by investing in dedicated Lexus sales areas, sales people, service advisors, technicians, lounge areas with private offices, perks (free coffee/treats, car wash and vacuum with any service, a large complimentary Lexus loaner fleet available for any service visit), etc. By contrast, for Cadillac service I would line up with the 20 other people waiting for one of 5-7 service writers that know nothing about my car because they service 10,000 different GM models, answering a question about maintenance requirements "How am I supposed to know?". During the first 4 years I had access to complimentary Enterprise rental cars as loaners, but I had to spend 20-30 mins going through a car rental process every time. The guy who would do complimentary service washes did so with a big scrub brush he just used to wash a work truck that was covered in mud. They can't sell a premium car with crappy service like that, they have to be better than their competition.If it weren't for these issues I would not have hesitated to buy a new CT5 V-sport (winter DD, want AWD). I bought a G70 instead, we'll see how that goes - but at least I have a long B2B warranty.
Jalop1991 Are tariffs the right answer? Ask China and Japan. They've imposed lots of protectionist tariffs over the years, but somehow our doing so is horrible or something like that.Let's do the Japanese inspection to the Chinese junk imports, and make the Chinese pay for them.BYD--now available at Walmart and Amazon.
Scott This seems very BOEING of FORD....
