2024 Lexus GX550 vs 2024 Land Rover Defender: Can Lexus Conquer Land Rover?

[@ktpinnacle]

The GX is being built at Lexus's best plant in Japan. It'll receive the best quality control Toyota can muster. So the complaints about Toyota reliability shouldn't apply here. However, the Defender has the same reliability issues that all JLR products are known to have. Love the Defender design inside and out, but I can't enjoy what I can't depend on and reliably drive. Especially as a guy who buys to hold onto for a while. I'll be buying a GX Overtrail+.

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Despite the JLR reliability issues I'd take the Defender for the overall design.i love it😍

The Overtrail+ is a $8K premium over the Overtrail. Not worth that to me.

[@advapp]

​@@BrentLawson I have the overtrail Plus and I would have to agree The roof rack which won't hold any weight at all is a $1,600 option that you can't get out of basically. Also the sound system while nice and adequate maybe even above adequate is nothing like I had in my Wrangler, I don't know who Mark Levinson is but me and him do not agree on sound quality😂

[@mustafamayahi8577]

Land Rover nice design but zero reliability and zero durability , Lexus 10/10 no complaints

[@brucewright3087]

I own a 2021 Defender X 110. My engine is the same as you tested in this video. However, my Defender has a electrically powered super charger that accelerates quite quickly and once the lag of the turbo has been diminished the Super charger turns over the acceleration requirements to the Turbo charger. It is a seamless turn over so the acceleration curve is quite consistent and most impressive. Are you telling me your demo did not have a supercharger?!?!? I find that hard to believe. Seems some your commenters had some problems with their Defender. Our Defender has been completely failure free. I find a bias that is strange. I have owned 4 RRS, 1 Discovery Sport(still have) and the Defender. NO PROBLEMS with any of our vehicles. The RRS's were all Super charged too.. My reliability has been AWESOME, SUPERB, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Over-landing and off-roading in the Defender cannot be beat. It goes everywhere and is quite sophisticated on how it conquers the terrain and obstacles.

[@michelledee1548]

I’m turning in my Defender in a few weeks! Got it brand new. Decided to lease and I’m glad I did because we had to have it towed to the dealership at least five times. Stop driving in the middle of the road for apparently no reason. Multiple times the car wouldn’t start. Worst part is that I continued to pay the lease while driving their rental for weeks on end. As much as I love how beautiful the car is, I would never get another Landrover. It was a nightmare.

[@nat3198]

as a defender owner, i can safely say that it is one of the best cars you could buy. maybe it isn’t going to be the most reliable, but it gives you a sense of safety and capability while also being really enjoyable to drive. the land rover is definitely more well-rounded than the lexus and much more configurable. while i like the lexus, i just believe that the land rover is honestly a better car, plus i’ve had very few issues with the defender

[@Blue-moon12]

Reliability is No.1 for me if I am paying the high costs of vehicles today. As a Brit, I know all about Land Rover/Range Rover. Enjoy the Defender.

[@bigdlife86]

Agree. Have a GX, but way prefer the Defender. No wrong answer.

[@bigdlife86]

There’s literally no comparison in how much more useable & comfortable the Defender is inside, and how much smoother the ride & better the handling is vs the Lexus-even off road. Neither is a bad choice but if Lexus & Toyota had not gone so archaic again, moved to a more spacious all independent platform, etc the GX would be even more popular, spacious, smoother, etc. I’ve driven both extensively now. Love Lexus dealers & vibes, and own 2. But if I had to pick, I’d go Defender too and give up that stereotypical reliability “thing” because it’s just so much nicer to drive. And we have multiple local LR dealers, so no difference in loaners, etc. My current last gen GX has had so many issues itself, no brand is immune. Great review, Ben, as always💯

[@drive-channel1834]

thanks for sharing your very positive experiences and vibes Yup, they're all metals, plastics, rubbers, no vehicle is perfect.

Much difference in road noise and NVH on the highway? I had a Defender, waiting on a GX550.

[@bigdlife86]

@@billybob1511 Defender is quieter without as much wind noise, and rides much steadier, smoother & more settled.

[@alwaysiyi272]

Well Lexus sells the TX, for someone who wants a more comfortable and spacious ride, the GX is solely targeted at the off-raoding scene, which is why the GX remains body-on-frame, it is better off-raod, now will most people use it for its off-road capability?, probably not, but Lexus doesn't have to compromise the GX, when they have the TX, NX and RX

[@VNH05]

1000000% agree, Defender is sooo much smoother to driver + no carpet which is very important for an off road car. In general Defender is much luxurious, interior is sturdy and minimalistic, masculine and feminine at the same time. GX has good potential , but interior quality is not even close to Defender. That’s totally my opinion, and I’m very picky when it comes to details.

[@fooslinger]

GX Overtrail is a better comparison to the Defender

[@acsnake]

Always a lexus toyota fan, but without counting reliability. Since I have driven a Defender, I can tell the Defender overall is a better vehicle.

[@SomewhereInTheSolarSystem]

I've found that the Defender is/has: better on-road, better off-road and way better traction control, more modern and rigid spatial structure, better suspension, better infoscreen software and dash controls, faster, way better interior and more internal space. Lexus / LandCruiser: more "traditional", with those one hundred and fifty years old rigid rear axle and ladder frame chassis.

[@Hib19751]

I knew in the first 30 seconds this guy was going to be a Defender superfan. Let’s see what they are worth in five years, and how reliable they are. Not to mention the Lexus superior build quality, fit and finish. The Lexus would leave the poor Defender in the dust off road.

[@Douganchesner]

@@Hib19751the Defender is night and day better off-road out of the box. Look at the clearances between the two lol

[@BrentLawson]

But reliability is the elephant in the room.

[@beyondhometown]

My assessment is based on what I observed at the Auto Show in California. For comparing this SUV, I recommend examining others. To attend, both my wife and I had to pay a $30 fee, and I was particularly eager to personally see the Lexus GX due to the hype surrounding it as a large off-road SUV. Before I outline the positives and negatives, I want to express my anticipation spanning decades for the GX to unveil a new design. However, I am disappointed with what I encountered. Pros: * The shape is commendable, featuring a perfect boxy design akin to competitors such as the Defender, Jeep Cherokee, and GMC. * While the central infotainment system is not groundbreaking, it maintains consistency with other Lexus models, which is acceptable. * Cons: * There are numerous drawbacks. The model I viewed exceeded $77k and lacked the ML sound system. * The absence of a panoramic sunroof, now a standard feature in modern vehicles, detracts from the luxurious experience. * The panoramic sunroof in the Luxury+ model is underwhelming and seems to mimic the idea from the Venza, which has been on the market for over six years. * The quality of leather and interior falls short compared to other SUVs in the same price range. Even the Toyota Highlander boasts superior interior quality. * The exterior feels excessively plastic, particularly upon contact with the bumper, hood, and other body panels. * Leather quality across all trims is subpar. * Fuel economy poses a significant issue in 2024, averaging only 17 mpg. * Many materials exude a cheap feel, failing to deliver a luxurious experience. * If one opts for all available options on the Lexus GX 550, it may be preferable to choose the LX 600, which offers a higher level of luxury and power. * For a better depiction of luxury, consider examining the Infiniti QX80: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH7ddWqkgbafers I've been a longtime enthusiast of this SUV, but now, even surpassing $80k plus tax, it's hardly worth the investment. In 2024, there's a myriad of alternative options I've contemplated, including the Ford F150 Electric, Rivian, Cybertruck, GMC Denali AT4, Sequoia, and the Volkswagen Atlas Off-Road version, among others, boasting advanced technology and commendable qualities. Toyota and Lexus seem to be marketing very basic vehicles under the guise of reliability. Many individuals I conversed with at the auto show shared my sentiment that the GX 550 pales in comparison to the 460 in terms of quality, feeling cheaply constructed. It appears that KZbin influencers may be sponsored by Toyota and Lexus, with many Toyota dealers hyping these vehicles on social media to attract buyers. This SUV no longer epitomizes luxury, not by a long shot. If you disregard reliability and juxtapose it against brands like BMW, Audi, and Land Rover, it's disheartening to witness its decline. Purchasing this vehicle entails enduring it for another six years solely to mitigate depreciation, while numerous other automakers are already introducing superior and more advanced technology. At present, I must explore alternative options, as this SUV is not worth $85k out of the door, if you're fortunate enough. Best wishes with your new purchase. Just bear in mind, many individuals are compensated for endorsing Toyota and Lexus brands, and I've encountered numerous instances of Toyota dealers leveraging social media to generate interest in these vehicles. In conclusion, this is merely my perspective. Enjoy your new purchase

[@c1aytonbigsby]

A unibody vehicle vs a BOF vehicle. The choice is clear which one’s better off-road. And that’s before even getting to the reliability aspect of each one.

[@CarGeek360]

Yeah body-on-frame is definitely nice to have when off-roading

[@graemelow7516]

Just did a back to back test today and really wanted to like the Lexus, but your comments on the handling were spot on. The Lexus is very vague on the steering and asthmatic engine. Constant correction and handling was not confidence inspiring. Defender was so much more engaging on the road - and much faster (this was the diesel in the defender). The defender you can love, the Lexus is an appliance to get you A to B.

[@the_tridoc]

Tell me you have never owned a Land Rover without saying you have never owned a Land Rover. You comment that the screen would be cheaper to replace than the Lexus is completely untrue. Land Rover is more expensive to repair than any of the other 130 vehicles I have owned. I think the defender is a good car and if you change vehicles every year than the LR is great. But for overall reliability the GX wins. I think your review was definitely biased towards the defender.

[@alwaysiyi272]

One thing I really like about the Lexus is that it offers massaging seats, something you can't get on a Defender, the Lexus also tows a lot more, and of course it is body on frame, so while that may not translate to amazing on-road dynamics, for those that will take it off-raod, it is going to be much more capable

[@Douganchesner]

The Lexus tows 700lbs more. Which in the scheme of things is very little improvement t

[@yousef.al-assaf]

​@Douganchesner That's because it's the luxury model. The OT GX has even better off-roading and towing capabilities.

[@brianburry4862]

Now that they’ve made the new Land Rover three, going on four years, you don’t have the quality issues they’ve proven themselves extremely well. We bought a 2023 Land Rover defender model 130 and with 22,000 miles,on road and off-road, it has been bulletproof. It’s very luxurious, very quick and Very enjoyable! This is our fourth, in 30 years, Range Rover product - it is the very best. With its 50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper, zero deductible warranty, you need to try this yourself. It is wonderful on road off-road from sound systems, todrivability.

Lexus is good if you’re keeping a vehicle forever but you can’t say the quality in Lexus is better except for reliability.
