Is the new Lexus GX550 better than the GX460?

In this video, I compare the new 2024 Lexus GX550 Luxury+ to the older 2023 Lexus GX460 of the previous generation. The new model gets a bump in technology, power, upgraded towing capacity, and more.

I'm all in for the GX 460. Practical and none assuming and gorgeous. The 460 is a V8 engine tested over the years and is not made for people looking for n0 fluff. This is a doer and not a shower although it does excellent as a shower. GX 460, what a beauty especially with the sport package!!

[@jde845]

I have a 460 and love it for all the reasons thst many do not. The 550 is interesting but might be trying too hard. Sorta comic book like, especially OT version . Plus, $84k. Wow. It’s more powerful but also 600-700 lbs heavier. Am sure the 10 speed is smoother but a V6 TT….no thanks, especially at just 1 MPG better than 460.

I recently chose to purchase the final edition 2023 Gx460 with the last V8 of Lexus and Toyota. I traded my perfectly maintained and operating 2019 GX that was the best vehicle I ever owned for it. I made the choice to forgo the brand new model Gx550 because the 23 is the most proven perfected over engineered modernized reliable vehicle Lexus has ever produced rather than gamble on the new 24 turbo v6 modernized version that has not yet proven itself in build quality reliability and longevity. I am in love with my 2023 and extremely confident in everything about it starting every time I drive it and confident that I will always arrive at my destination. I hope the new 550 works out for its new owners and that the inevitable bugs that arise with new models are few. I plan on enjoying my GX460 for multiple 100s of thousands miles with only regular scheduled maintenance.

[@edmundcharles5278]

Spot-On! The exact same reasons why I too purchased the 2023 GX460 over the 2024 GX 550. The new 550 also has a very long deposit wait list and the new 550 is several thousand dollars more than the 460- a premium that is not worth it and the trade-offs that come with a new, unproved vehicle. The interior of the 550 looks cheap too and I prefer hard-button controls vice having a larger glass control screen.

[@boblerch7666]

My 23 Black Line I believe will hold its value, if I ever sell it.

[@JavierCR25]

New one looks better and it’s evident that it’s more off road focused, but the fact that the 460 has all those “sport” plastic things don’t help the case. Get a 460 without so much plastic crap, lift it and it becomes a whole different beast.

[@MaxMae-xh8ke]

Got the chance to check out the white luxury trim at the LA auto show and the interior of the 550 looked bland and felt like a Toyota. Don’t get me wrong, I have been driving Toyota all my life and I love them but in this case, since it’s a Lexus, I feel like it’s not up to par. The 460 with its wood accents scattered through out make it stand out. And the physical buttons you can touch vs almost all on a screen is a no for me. Also, the NA V8, I don’t even need to expound on that. As someone who owns a 78’ Datsun Z, the lesser the tech the better and less headache. Less is more.

[@BelchevKalin]

About the hood/bonnet: GX460 has somewhat flat hood but it's brother Land Cruiser Prado J150 in it's latest facelift has similar thing the GX 550 has. It's scooped in the middle for off-road purposes. Well more of a notch basically.

We bought a 23 gx460 last year for a couple reasons, 1. Price. A similarly equiped 550 would cost about 15-20k more, that sealed the deal. 2. I don't think it has as much luxury appointments as the 460, just feels a bit bland. A prefected drive train and reliability made the choice for us.

Liking a lot about the 550. Trail non + with sunroof delete would be my take. Wish it had buttons under the screen like the upcoming LC. Really wish the floor was flat when rear seats were down. Loved that in my 4R. Also, wish the non third row models had storage instead of more useless cup holders. And those 22’s are a bit much. A little too DUB wheels for my taste. Think it would look classier with 19-20”. That’s just my opinion though. Overall, dig the new design.

The new GX 550 does not have EKDSS standard across all GX models, it is only on the rail edition. IMHO- not enough improvements in the new GX 550 to offset the old school GX 460.

The reliability is known... the engine (V35A-FTS family) has been in production products since 2017 (the Lexus LS500) - so it has been used in general production vehicles for 7 years already without widespread/major issue and is "reliable". In particular, the variant used in the GX550 is significantly detuned from even that of the Tundra... so I would expect that the GX550 will probably have the highest rate of reliability for this family of engines.

Panoramic sunroofs are awful. They have a tendency to leak so if it doesn't open that problem is solved. The worst thing about panoramic sunroofs is they don't have a traditional sliding interior solid sunroof cover, they just have a lame retractable shade. Even when the shade is closed it still allows unpleasant road noise to enter the cabin. The shade also lets through heat from the hot Sun but that isn't as big a problem as the noise.

The rear of the GX460 looks substantially better than the GX550. The hood of the GX460 looks marginally better than the GX550. The side of the GX550 would look great if not for the odd looking built-in fender flares. They should have made them smoothly molded into the fender. I actually prefer the GX460 headlights by themselves, but the GX550 looks better over all due to the smaller grill size. Honestly, if the GX460 had a smaller grill, I think it would be an all-around better-looking vehicle. Lifted with an off-road bumper, I actually think the GX460 looks much better. Lift/tires/bumpers really makes the 460 a much meaner looking vehicle. The interior of the GX550 is disappointing and looks cheap.

I still really like the old model. The new 2022 center stack modernized the interior as far as I'm concerned. The rest of the interior bits are equal in my opinion (and tumble seat entry is likely cheaper than sliding assembly, even if tumble seat provides better access). Need to keep an eye on what features have been plus'd up to the top trim lines, like ventilated seats and rear heated seats, and real-leather itself. Seems like Toyota has taken those type of features and put them Only in the Platinum trim, and I'm sure the same thing is happening on the Lexus side. The outgoing model is going to remain a very classy vehicle, since Lexus doesn't do the BMW or Mercedes thing of making the customer always wish they have the newest model style every 2-3 years. The front end of the new model also is generally lacking the luxury accents, like OEM chrome inserts and wave-guides in the headlamps. I'm sure those will be gradually added in later model years. I can't wait to see what a drag race between the two look like- that's going to be the actual tell-tale indicator for performance increase on the newer engine.

Nothing is wrong with the GX460 interior. It's perfect. All they needed to have a few tweaks, such as removal of the trackpad. Lexus did on a few wrong things in the New GX550. Front, driver and passenger knee width are small, they added soft touch on the driver's side, but honestly it's not great, the gas pedal is way inside. 2nd issue, Lexus should have added independent rear suspense instead of solid axle. This way they can easily make a big room on the back by lowering the floor specially for hybrid battery. For no reason, they added a big giant engine in the small engine bay.

It's interesting how vastly different people's opinions of the two vehicles is. I think the GX550 interior looks horribly cheap and prefer the GX460 by a wide margin. I also don't see a comparison between the 4Runner and GX460 other than the size. Drivetrain and interior are completely different. The 4Runner interior is substantially cheaper feeling than that of the GX460. Honestly, there's nothing cutting edge or revolutionary about the new GX550. It may be "more updated" but it's certainly not ground breaking.

The old grill is horrible

YUGE

The 470 was peak gx until now.

The new GX is great but has a plain-burger interior. More textures and material changes. I dislike the dash of the new GX. Like a big wall. Not sure why they did that.

For visibility mainly and point of reference while off roading.

@mjv1967. New gx interior is not plain at all. Its extremely luxurious and very clean unlike the old gx interior which is nasty cheap and outdated

[@paulbugoni2846]

Yep

[@MyLIFEISLEGENDARY836]

​​@@paulbugoni2846you are faux again

[@Warhorse556]

Yup, it looks cheap to me as well. They'll end up updating it after I few years, I'm sure.

[@Ryan-ub1kh]

Nobody is talking about the price 😂 80k for new gs?? Plus high apr will kill your bank account. Reality check guys

[@TRDJon]

They start at 63

I much prefer the GX 460 being the tried and true old school V8 with many years of refinement and perfecting this legendary. product. I'll take a naturally aspirated V8 over a twin turbo V6 all day long. Factoring in service, simplicity and over all durability I'll take the 460. so much so I purchased two 2023 460s this past year knowing it was the end of an era. I still have a 96 LX 450 I have owned for twenty five years in mint condition and at age 66 I still do all my own basic maintenance specifically oil/filters, differentials, transfer case and brake fluids with pads.

GX460 is an organic apple and GX550 is non organic which is good looking but not taste and smell.

[@TheWinwin4all]

Wow! That is such a proper description.

[@freshdotholla]

Old Skool, Ill get the new one 10 years down the road after they iron out all the kinks.
