2024 Lexus GX price and specs – UPDATE

The Lexus GX off-roader will start from $116,000 before on-road costs when it arrives in Australia.

Lexus Australia has confirmed the luxury take on the Toyota Prado will be on sale next week, hitting Australian showrooms on May 21.

UPDATE, 15/05/2024 9:30am – Lexus has confirmed when the GX will arrive Down Under. We’ve updated our introduction accordingly.

When it arrives, the GX will be the 10th model on offer in Lexus showrooms. That gives the brand its biggest range since its debut in 1990, from the Yaris Cross-based LBX SUV to the LandCruiser-based LX.

Even in top-spec GX 550 Sports Luxury guise, it’s more affordable than the entry-level version of the LandCruiser 300 Series-based LX.
