460

The 2010 Lexus GX 460 is visionary, and the new GX 460 arrives with a design you might simply call finesse.

There are sport utility vehicles and their are luxury utility vehicles, no question the GX 460 is the latter in this case. Lexus engineers took their design to a new level, sophistication and elegance took turns here.

The stance of the GX 460 is wider than before, it looks and feels stable but has only a modest appetite for offroad. The capability for offroad is there when you need it, but ride quality isn’t sacrificed to provide it.

The interior is suitable for the kids, they’ll be all the way in the back row if you let them. Leather steering wheel, wood dash, are all part of the traditional Lexus luxury tone.

Plenty of power to 60mph in 8 secs. Its a 4.6L V8, with a reasonable 15mpg city / 20mpg hwy vs. the previous 4.7L in the 2009 model, netting about a 13% increase in fuel economy.

Lexus made several improvements to the GX 460, it’ll perform gallantly through snow and ice conditions. Every GX model is standard with the advanced Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, you’ll feel the difference.

Notice the controls near the shifter, you can adjust the ride height and select sport or comfort mode. A drive in the GX 460 is as smooth and rhythmic as the optional audio system from Mark Levinson.
