2020 Lexus GX 460 (full review)
The only rival that can give the GX a run for its considerable money in terms of off-road ability and towing talents is the Land Rover Discovery. Other contenders like the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class are superb on the road, and have more refined ride qualities (as does the Discovery), but to venture into the wilderness with the confidence of being able to get back home is an easier proposition in the GX. Perhaps buyers don’t care about the lack of smartphone integration because there’s no cellphone signal where they’re heading.
2020 Lexus GX Exterior
This new model year brings some changes to the massive grille. Instead of the horizontal lines, there’s more of a 3D effect. On either side of the grille are triple-beam LED headlights (standard). And the side molding has been removed.
2020 Lexus GX Interior
Changes for 2020 include a revised multi-function steering wheel, extra USB ports for rear passengers, plus the addition of Gray Sapele wood trim with aluminum accents.
In regular form, the 2020 GX has 3-row/7-occupant seating. The slide/recline second row splits and folds in 40/20/40 fashion and the third row folds flat. So there are several permutations for people and things. A pair of 2nd-row captain’s chairs is optional, cutting the tush count to six.
2020 Lexus GX Standard Features
Even in its base form, the Lexus GX 460 is well stocked. Features include simulated-leather upholstery, wood trim, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, power moonroof, power-adjustable steering column, 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry/ignition, and illuminated running boards.
Entertainment and phone connectivity are provided by a 9-speaker AM/FM/CD display audio system with 8-inch touch screen and Bluetooth, four USB ports, compatibility with Siri Eyes Free iPhone, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, plus the Enform apps suite.
On the safety side, there are 10 airbags, active headrests to reduce the severity of whiplash, and Lexus’ Safety Connect system with 24/7 emergency services, and now the Lexus Safety System Plus with all the necessary driver aids.
2020 Lexus GX Options
Although there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the base GX 460, we think the Premium trim is a better call. For less than $3,000 more, it comes with tri-zone automatic climate control with an interior air filter, heated/ventilated front seats, heated outboard 2nd-row seats, rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lights, and front/rear parking sensors.
The top Luxury trim has an adaptive suspension with a self-leveling air setup at the rear, real leather upholstery, heated wood/leather steering wheel, power recline/fold 3rd-row seats, heated/self-dimming side mirrors, headlight washers, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Other options include a 17-speaker/330-watt Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound audio system, an Off-road package (underbody protection/camera system, multi-terrain driving modes, panoramic view, crawl control).
2020 Lexus GX Engine
There are no engine or transmission changes to the 2020 GX 460. Propulsion comes from a 4.6-liter V8 making 301 horsepower. This goes to all four wheels through a somewhat outdated yet reliable 6-speed automatic transmission, which also includes a 2-speed transfer case and a locking center differential for serious off-road prowess.
For all its smoothness and dependability, this drivetrain has an alarming appetite for gasoline, averaging around 16 mpg — roughly the same as a 1984 Lincoln Town Car. Most rivals hit the low 20s, while the Land Rover Discovery also offers a diesel option.
4.6-liter V8
301 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm
329 lb-ft of torque @ 3,500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/19 mpg
How Much Does the 2020 Lexus GX Cost?
Access to 2020 Lexus GX 460 ownership starts with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $53,000. Add the $1,025 destination charge and that comes to $54,025.
Premium trim is the mid-level model, priced from $56,815. At the top of the range is the GX 460 Luxury version, at $65,290. Take this latter variant, then approach the options with extravagance and the ultimate amount could easily reach $70,000.
The German and British competition (Audi Q7, BMW X5, Land Rover Discovery) cost around the same, while the Acura MDX is much less expensive. Then again, the GX is well equipped for the money. The GX 460 Premium seems like a reasonable middle ground.
