Lexus teases rugged-looking 2024 GX, to debut June 8

Article content

Lexus late May confirmed its next-generation 2024 GX will bow on June 8, debuting an overhaul that will mark the first time the SUV has seen a major redesign since 2010. The automaker also released a third teaser image to accompany the two it shared on May 11, which show off a boxy, angular aesthetic some have aptly called “brutalist,” with the styling language somewhat reminiscent of both the company’s GX and Toyota’s new Sequoia.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the new GX is expected to share the TNGA-F body-on-frame platform of that latter vehicle, which also underpins the Tundra pickup. That means those trucks’ twin-turbo V6, likely with i-Force Max hybridization, is probably a safe bet when it comes to the new SUV’s powertrain, which means bye-bye for the current gen’s V8.

The GX on sale now is more specifically badged “GX 460,” and trademark filings suggest the new version may be dubbed the “GX 550.” (Because the numbers always have to get bigger, right?)

We expect the GX will offer a three-row variant, even though the Japanese luxury automaker also teased another new three-row SUV, the totally new TX nameplate, on May 9. Not coincidentally, the TX will also get its reveal on June 8. What will set the two apart? Expect GX to rock more of an off-road angle, while TX will be meant to keep to the pavement.

Watch this space for the expected flurry of teasers we expect will show up between now and that debut date.
