The age-old saying is true: it’s about the journey; not the destination. The all-new GX was designed to
inspire customers to pursue their urge to travel, take an unpaved path, immerse themselves in nature and
revel in the joy of driving. As part of that journey, GX blazesthe trail as the first vehicle to bring the global
Lexus “Overtrail Project” to life. The 2024 GX builds upon the strong foundation created by the outgoing
generation, and brings the intuitive technology, thoughtful interior touches, and continued off-road
prowess that Lexus guests have come to expect.
Next Chapter Design
Rugged Yet Refined Exterior:
The all-new GX presents an unmistakably aggressive exterior design that exudes the tough, rugged
persona that it has earned time and time again. Lexus designers were intent on expressing the off-road
functionality of a true body-on-frame SUV. Their guiding light was envisioning GX customers enjoying
refined outdoor experiences, and, as such, they were determined to design a GX that exemplifies the
juxtaposition of a tough exterior with a calming, lux, and modern interior space.
The 2024 GX will be offered in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, and all-new for Lexus,
Overtrail and Overtrail+.
The 2024 GX introduces a noticeable change from the previous generation with a square-body profile
with a horizontal design motif. From the front, the all-new GX continues the Lexus spindle body concept
with an all-new bold, resolute design that also aids in off-roading functionality. To achieve the grounded,
stable stance, designers created a taut body with a wide track and fender flares, pulling the front pillar base
to the rear. The overall width increases by 3.74 inches (Overtrail by 4.52 inches) compared to the
previous-generation GX. The Premium Triple Beam LED headlamps and grille opening have been raised
to help avoid potential road impact. LED fog and cornering lamps are available for increased visibility. The
front overhang has been decreased by 0.78 inches for improved clearance. The powerful front presence
is led by the seamless grille and headlamp integration.
From the side, the 2024 GX presents a solid, powerful presence featuring a horizontally flowing body
with an increased wheelbase of 2.36 inches. The A-pillar has been pulled back for increased visibility in
addition to the lower belt line and improved ground clearance. The overall length of the 2024 GX is
increased by 2.75 inches. Contributing to the strong presence are the hard-to-miss 33-inch tires with 18-
inch wheels on the Overtrail gradesfor optimal off-road performance. Rear tread is increased by 3.26
inches for Premium and Luxury grades and 4.06 inches for the Overtrail grades.
At the back, the square, aggressive stance is continued with the signature unified L-shaped light bar. The
updated LEXUS logo is a continuation of the Next Chapter design originally introduced on the 2022 NX.
And, based on customer feedback, the all-new GX will feature a standard power rear lift door (GX first)
with a pop-out window and an available kick sensor for hands-free convenience.
The 2024 GX will be offered in 11 exterior color options depending on grade: Eminent White Pearl,
Nebula Gray Pearl, Atomic Silver, GX-first Incognito, Caviar, Nori Green Pearl, Nightfall Mica. The
Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades will offer exclusive bi-tone exterior color combinations including Atomic
Silver/Black Roof, Incognito/Black Roof, Nori Green Pearl/Black Roof, and Lexus-first Earth/Black Roof.
