The 2024 Lexus GX 550 is an all-new model with stunning looks, a new platform, and the luxury and performance GX owners demand.

Lexus isn’t quick to enter new generations with its vehicles, but when it does, they hit all the right notes. The new GX 550 is the perfect example of what a new Lexus SUV should be. The GX is renowned for being durable, capable, and ready to tackle off-road trails while remaining a luxurious and comfortable SUV to drive.

Let’s see what the new 2024 model brings to the table.

Every GX 550 has the same powertrain

You won’t need to choose a powertrain when shopping for the trims of this new Lexus SUV. The GX 550 is powered by a 3.4-liter turbocharged V6 engine across the board. This engine produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. 4WD is standard for this Lexus SUV, with power sent to all four wheels through the 10-speed automatic transmission. This new powertrain replaced the venerable V8 engine but should be much more efficient than its predecessor. The max towing capacity is 8,000 pounds, which should be more than enough for most GX owners.
