the 2025 lexus gx gets a couple new features and a slight price bump

The 2024 Lexus GX marked a significant step forward for the beefy luxury SUV, as it was the model’s first generational overhaul since 2010. Lexus is making further improvements for 2025, though they come with a slight price bump over the outgoing model.

The 2025 GX 550 Premium starts at $65,285 including a $1,350 destination charge, which is just over $1,000 more than the 2024 model. The midrange Luxury trim starts at $77,750 after destination, while the range-topping Overtrail+ costs $80,395 before options. All models are expected to land on dealers’ lots early in 2025.

That extra cash buys a couple of newly standard features, including a memory system for the steering column and seats for all trims and a one-inch suspension lift for both Overtrail variants, bringing their minimum running ground clearance to 9.84 inches.

All GX trims come with a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6, which makes 349 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. That output reaches all four wheels through a ten-speed automatic transmission. Lexus rates most trims’ towing capacity at 9,063 pounds, but the Overtrail trim can tow three additional pounds.

Standard tech features include a 14-inch high-definition touchscreen with cloud navigation, voice commands, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, remote and cloud app features, a digital key system, and more. Lexus thankfully updated its infotainment interface prior to the new GX’s release, making it far easier to use and more responsive.

So the only changes are (besides higher price) an additional one inch of lift for one trim and memory for the tilt wheel which is pretty standard everywhere else. Was this even justified a press release? Another prime example of modern zero value.

Nay, nay gentlemen. A well-educated old girl will enjoy driving a Lexus that envelopes her in comfort and luxury and then she'll have a sly smile when she thinks about the costs of 10-year ownership.

  It remains to be seen if this iteration is going to be cost effective as the last, so far I'd say not given two important LED screens to fail, a 10 speed transmission and turbozzz powhaaaa. By the by, I saw 15mpg estimate for city driving - is that even an improvement over the previous reliable but thirsty V8?

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
