As someone who's been driving a new '24 Corolla LE for the past three weeks, I think, "Nah, I think I'm good."

[@Jay-me7gw]

I had a 24 Corolla as a rental for this last week and its was super meh. Navigating in carplay was a constant issue, it would lose my location and I would have to unplug my phone to get the phone to relocate me. This shouldnt happen in 2024 when Carplay has been available in other brands for going on 10 years. Got home and got in my 2018 Chevy Bolt and was way happier.

[@racebannon2332]

I have recently driven both and the LX is certainly more luxurious and rides more smoothly. That’s not to say the GX is not comfortable but the interior of the LX is superior. The power train the GX was surprisingly more responsive in every drive mode. I prefer the exterior of the GX and in particular the Overtrail Plus. If you’re going off road the GX is better because of the optional locking rear differential. I will wait a year or two for Toyota to work out any issues with the GX You can’t go wrong with either

[@Jay-me7gw]

Did the LX you drove have AHC and AVS? I think that's key in making the LX600 feel more premium. They are no longer standard on the LX600, but they were on the LX570. I have an LX570 and the AHC/AVS suspension is fantastic and does so many things so well. Comfort mode makes it float down the road and then you can throw it in Sport+ and it locks it down and eliminates almost all body roll. Then I can go hook up a 5000 lb trailer and it auto levels and stiffens the suspension and tows amazing. The GX doesnt offer the same.

Drove the GX yesterday, which I’m glad I did. In my market there are no vehicles to test drive, so your only option is to place your deposit, and purchase. Did not like the ride at all. Much prefer the LX.

I am experiencing the same problem. I have to make a deposit with intent to buy just to test drive because the vehicle isn’t available otherwise

After test driving them all we went with a 2023 GX 460. Still has the V8 and was new. Dam that thing is a beast. Drives like a truck and fits the whole family no problem.

[@genxtechguy]

The 600 looks like the designers put zero thought into styling … Goal: just make it big. I like the 550 though.

[@normanli7085]

Yet, its only big on the outside. The TX is called "midsized", yet there is more space throughout inside than the LX.

[@Ryan2022]

[@Couchfarmer]

We just got a luxury trim GX and it’s going back in for a bunch of different electrical glitches. The “luxury” trim is not that luxurious. If you are in the market, save your money and go for the overland trim or premium. Better value. We are coming from a 7 yr old F sport RX. I honestly expected more for the 25k delta in price.

[@abrahamroberts2040]

The lx is built better than gx. The frames control arms etc are different as well. Paint is thicker on lx. Interior of lx is higher quality. Glad to see the first real comparison between the 2. Wait for lx600 refresh and hybrid version. Lx infotainment is horrible and needs to be redone. The lx has safety 2.5 versus 3.0 on gx.

[@JokerG16]

So essentially, Lexus plans on killing off the LX smh. Why spend the extra money when you can get a basically better vehicle in the GX for a lower price? Same space, same engine, better infotainment...RIP LX. Dumb move by Lexus for sure

[@wj2791]

I will wait for the GX Hybrid or LX Hybrid. Color in sport plus is too bold for my taste.

[@rajsteint6487]

When doing these reviews you should take other trims into consideration and let people know what you get and don't get with trim levels of the GX and LX.

[@user-iz3gv5vo6b]

I haven't been interested in Lexus since they started with the hideous Predator mouth grill. The new GX550 is starting to go away from that look with the grill area looking more like an X than a spindle. If they stop with the incredible price inflation, I'd consider the 550. If more room is needed, I'd suggest saving a $40,000 and going for the Sequoia instead!

[@tahran5782]

Lexus GX the Lexus LX is just way too high price literally

[@chezzyperson3339]

And in terms of features it under delivers compared to all of its competitors

[@theholt2ic219]

Yes I really do not think the LX is worth the price tag considering how much features the GX has. I think they need to make the LX longer to make buyers want it. More cargo space can attract many luxury car buyers to want it vs the GX or the competition.

[@Agi1207]

[@TheJoker-qn6vw]

I hope people realize that the new landcruiser 300/lx600 and the prado & gx550 have the same or very similar wheelbases and they share the same platform. The question is: "would you fork out an additional $20K+ just for some extra "luxury features"?...personally I'd prefer the competitors at that lx600 price like the BMW X7.

[@beekaye1496]

If Lexus puts a panoramic roof in the LX600 and change the dash layout to be more simpler, then I would be nice. THE GX seems more for everything. Both are priced out of the it;s leagues and haven’t put quality in the engine department yet.

[@quitoyume100]

Didn't describe overall seat comfort up front at all. Which one has more comfortable seats?

[@GordonHS]

After owning several Lexus automobiles LS400, LS460, SC430, GS350, IS350, Lexus is not what it use to be. They have become way overpriced for what you are getting and most people are not going to take these vehicles off road. The interiors are a joke compared to what they use to be with all the plastic, not as luxurious as past Lexus automobiles. The chassis of these vehicles are shared with the Tundra, 4-Runner, Tacoma so basically it’s a glorified truck. For the money I will buy something else like a X7, X5, Q7, Cayenne which I think are better driving cars dynamically.

[@Naginc]

You might want to actually go see and view one. I have both and there's is very little plastic in the LX. Compared to what?

[@30minforasn]

Lx, gx, sequoia all has the same powertrain and infotainment. Lx has no pano roof, gx has pano roof but doesn’t open, sequoia has pano roof that opens plus rear sliding window. Sequoia is the winner.

[@Jay-me7gw]

Your basing your decision on the pano roof?

[@FU29988]

Didn’t they recall these for engine problems? Can someone clarify?

Interior of the LX needs an update as it looks horrible and the center design looks like a bunch of after thoughts meshed together.

[@lawrencesayoc7459]

Idk about the LX 600 but the GX550 is very disappointing. As a 4Runner owner after test driving the GX it felt like a slightly nicer overpriced 4Runner, nothing else. It’s not even close to the luxury feel of the older GX460.

As someone who has owned 2 GX460s, a GX470, an ISF, GS430s (2001, 2004, and 2006), a RC-F, a 21 LX-570 Sport, and now an LC500, and a LX600, I wholeheartedly believe that the LX600 lacks on luxury, and is overpriced at $114k (F-sport) for what you get. For one i can't stand the tacked on screen which looks just as bad as the screen that i had on my 21 LX570. And then it doesn't have soft close doors, nor a panoramic roof. Big pluses are fuel consumption ( average 20.68 mpg vs 16.7-16.8 on my 21 LX), and the power in Sport+..

Serious question, not being sarcastic or anything, why would anyone buy the LX? Even Lexus themselves has a similar vehicle (better in some aspects) for a lot less money. Is not even the competition, its little brother is arguably better. A big vehicle that looks huge but doesn't have a lot of space, it doesn't make sense for North America. Maybe it's appealing for the middle east market but I doesn't make sense for North America.

[@Seriously140]

I think the only plausible reason to buy an LX is because the interior is nicer. Not necessarily the gauges and infotainment, but the leather on the seats and the aluminum trim. The GX interior is nearly solid black. Is that worth $30,000 more? Not to me.

@@dynamicremakes5592 Interesting! I had a 2024 fullsize RR that I absolutely loved but decided to trade it as I had put over 23k miles on it in less than a year. I still miss the RR as the comfort, ride and ergonomics were top notch on it. I have owned probably 10+ Lexus vehicles in the last few years and they all treated me well and were far cheaper to maintain than the RR, or anything else I have owned from Europe. LX drives nice, and I average 20 mpg (calculated) on every tank which is far better than what my 21 LX570 got. But you are right that it doesn't offer the luxury that most European SUVs of similar price tags do. I just put 5k miles on mine but if I get a fair trade in, I will most likely go back to fullsize RR PHEV. I hear the PHEVs are getting 26-27 mpg. Mine used to get around 24 mpg which is still better than what my LX averages.

[@WongTag]

If the LX carried over more of the true Land Cruiser DNA at the same price it would make more sense. In fact only the GX provides all the off-road mechanicals in an option that should have been standard in the LX. So yeah, to your point in both mechanicals and interior the GX makes more sense. Probably an LX refresh coming in the near future?
