2024 Lexus GX 550 Premium+ Review.. Better Than Ever?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

See my 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HMl2B3arJ_mJY

I have the OT+, this is indeed an awesome vehicle.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Congrats! That's probably the best trim level for this glad you stopped by and love your vehicle. God Bless

Finally the review I was waiting for! Thx Kevin

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@3riyaz no problem my friend

Very fair review, Kevin. Haven’t quite gotten to the end, but this is the type of vehicle one should lease. Personally, I would buy the old school GX 460, and keep it. I still might do that in a few years.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Loved the GX460! So good

[@LafemmebearMusic]

It is odd to me how unmeasured opinions can be when they get very biased towards nostalgia. I’ve riden in this vehicle for a long roadtrip, it was great, I own a 2017 and a 2021 x3 and x5 45e , the materials felt comparable. 😊

I may do this too if I require to move on from my current car, but I don't want to pay the 550's price. I'm also waiting to see how the 550 fairs in terms of cost of ownership and reliability. To my knowledge, nothing mechanical-related has been reported on the Club Lexus forums. Looks like the most reported issue is "hood flex".

Very fair review, Kevin. Haven’t quite gotten to the end, but this is the type of vehicle one should lease. Personally, I would buy the old school GX 460, and keep it. I still might do that in a few years. In fact, I’m going to watch one of your old reviews on the 460.

Been waiting for this❤ passed on this and got new 460 back in June however.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Good choice

[@paulbugoni2846]

No v8, no kdss, engine has good power but it is rough and it has horrible mpg in everyday driving and smaller tank give it crappy range (check the owners forums) plasticky interior and cheap looking screen. Looks good on the outside but that’s it. More Toyota than Lexus.

[@Slothtyper]

That’s it in a nutshell ^^……it’s a Toyota, no longer has Lexus luxury…….

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@paulbugoni2846 all of this covered in great detail in the video btw KDSS is available on Overtrail models

[@paulbugoni2846]

@@MeynMotorGroup was standard on all 460s, more signs of cost cutting….

[@LafemmebearMusic]

I drove in this for a roadtrip, and drive late model a new model BMWs as my vehicles, the materials in this and the engine seem lovely to me. I think this your opinions not fact, to each their own. 😊

[@paulbugoni2846]

@@LafemmebearMusic of course it’s my opinion, and I have had several Lexus models but they are transitioning into something I don’t necessarily like. Sometimes newer isn’t always better.

[@notsodelusional]

Nice! I know it has its critics, but I think the new GX looks good. Video just started. I await your insights!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Really? I just assumed car reviewers were glazing the GX glad to know some are being a bit more critical when needed

[@joshwise6127]

Who’s video in the Tucson press event are you using?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Lexus b-roll

[@mpiny]

Recalling engine and transmission 🎉😂

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Huh, power's kinda lackluster and the fuel economy is still meh. I think the 2025 Infiniti QX80 looks like a better package.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@ssjMaximum22Goku QX80 would compete with LX 600

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

@MeynMotorGroup Ah, ok. I get confused with Lexus' numbering, lol. Thanks for the clarification.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@ssjMaximum22Goku there’s really only 2 competitors to the GX I can think of the LR Defender and new Ineos Grenadier can’t think of any other luxury off roaders

[@paulbugoni2846]

The base QX80 awd is within $4k of the top trim GX550; there is nearly a $10k difference between the entry level QX80 and the LX600. Either way these cars aren’t cheap, and the Toyota LC is up there also.

[@knockout4291]

If it's not a V8 it's not a big change

[@MeynMotorGroup]

engine and many other things discussed in great detail in this review

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Your comment isn’t very sensical in my opinion, can you elaborate?

[@jdrein9511]

Please, don't say "glaseing" in a car review ever again.
