The 2025 Lexus GX is set to arrive at dealerships in early 2025, bringing modest but meaningful updates to the rugged midsize SUV. With a starting price of $65,285 (including destination), the new GX sees a price increase of $1,035 compared to the 2024 version.
Expanded Features Across Trims
The 2025 lineup offers six trims: GX 550 Premium, GX 550 Premium+, GX 550 Luxury, GX 550 Luxury+, GX 550 Overtrail, and GX 550 Overtrail+. For 2025, Lexus has introduced several upgrades:
- Standard Power Tilt-and-Telescopic Steering Column
- Lexus Memory System for driver seat, outer mirrors, and steering column.
The off-road-focused Overtrail trims come with a one-inch suspension lift kit, increasing ground clearance to an impressive 9.84 inches. These models also include comprehensive off-road tools like a crawl mode, Multi-Terrain Select, and a Multi-Terrain Monitor to navigate challenging terrains.
