Worth The $83K? 2024 Lexus GX550 Luxury+ Detailed Review

[@devinlwoods]

Appreciate the editing when you cut away seamlessly to show something that youre talking about thats not right in front of you. Im surprised others don't do this as much.

I’m still very happy with the OT+ otherwise.

It'll be a way better buy when you can get them used or CPO 3-4 years from now. Buying new makes zero financial sense. Not to mention it's never the best to buy the first year of a new gen because they usually address all the minor issues with the following model years.

Great review... I feel like the squared off plastic appearance inside looks "Lexus Dated". They always seem to be behind. In fact, they were the last company to offer a cassette deck (2010). Compare the Hyundai Santa Fe looks side by side with this vehicle. Value wise, I would take the Santa Fe over this. At this price point, the BMW X5 blows this vehicle out of the water.

[@jojojo6147]

Thanks TRD JON, nice review. Any idea when the 2025 GX 550 will be out? I am wondering if they will "tweak" a few things on it. I might wait for the 2025.

I know you’re a toyo channel. I have three currently. However, my GMC AT4X has the simplest seat massage. Literally touch the buttons on the side of the seat (driver or pass) and a menu pops up on the screen. Easy toggle settings. Also, does the Platinum Tundra have cooled rear seats? I can’t remember if my 23’ had them?

You can keep the pimp my ride wheels

[@sampropane]

I bought the GX 550 Luxury+ in June. Parked it for 45 days since I just did not think I wanted to keep it. Traded it in August. With 19 miles. It’s heavy and the drive is like a floating boat. Slight left and right turns feel like you are rocking. Mirrors are terrible and hard to see out of. As for Luxury it was lacking significantly. Zero space in the back and the materials inside are cheap and not Luxury. As a die hard Lexus buyer I had to get out. For me I wanted Luxury and a good ride and I should had done more real due diligence. I watched tons of reviews but very few reviews show the reality of the actual drive. Not telling anyone to not buy it. I am telling you to DRIVE the vehicle and don’t rely on videos online. It might be perfect for you but for me in is a work in progress that needs improvements and I am sure Lexus will tweak the Luxury + by 2026 and get back on track. As for the 22 inch wheels maybe that contributed to more problems. It’s possible the other trims are better. If you want one I would drive EXACTLY the trim you want BEFORE you buy it. Might be the perfect for you.

[@JohnDoe-wy2py]

These online reviewers are in Toyota's back pocket. They won't say anything negative because they don't want to be moved down the list of being invited to Toyota events or being furnished vehicles to review. I hear it really pays well.

[@jillnorair1488]

I was planning to get a new one- I have the GX 470 2003- it is great but finally needs to be replaced but not reading good reviews at all so maybe go w bow. I have had Lexus since they came out! had the sport coup and have loved them as it has been a great car. my 450 SL Mercedes has been more problems in 3 yrs than the Lexus. but... wish I could get my 470 again!

[@MizzLadyK001]

After seeing the reviews online I finally thought I found my new car. Range/Land Rover body style with the Lexus reliability. I didn’t even make it to test drive it. I opened the door and felt a 2000 ford focus was more luxury and comparison. Definitely did not look anywhere near a 80k price tag. For that price I will just go with Porsche

I was shopping this vehicle and waited for it for some time to come out and found that the Tundra can be optioned with an opening panoramic sunroof, a v6 with larger twin turbos, nicer leather seats (1794 limited edition) and heated and cooled rear seats and finally the back window rolls down, why not do that in the GX? Why not bring the best of the other vehicles into the GX? And really sad the Overtrail plus at basically $80k doesn’t have back seat air control. They really screwed up. I agree with you regarding in person the feel is better than what the video presents but still, it’s $80k+ it should be nicer. As well. You can get the amenities I mentioned in other brands cars which are much less in price … Toyota/lexus in my opinion are cutting costs at the expense of its customer base. I love the exterior, but can’t pull the trigger on it right now, hopefully they’ll add some of those things I mentioned and a splash of color inside… it’s so damn bland it’s a turnoff. And frankly, a small percentage of buyers will ever take it off-road … I am a Toyota loyalist but I won’t buy that the blandness and lack of amenities is what buyers who off-road want, that’s a small group of people and most of them will buy this vehicle on the secondary market used….sorry for the rant I’m really disappointed,, I expected a better experience in the GX and wanna love it… just can’t right now.

The excitement will wear off I think as the heavy marketing reduces after the launch, we all love the reliability and resale, that's why I buy Toyota products, that won't change. Everyone has their own opinion, I saw it in person, looked at other vehicles in its price range, it absolutely does not stack up, and you can get more amenities in a kia which is $30k less. Seeing your handle, the Volvo xc90 is beautiful inside, real wood, leather, color, seat options. It may not go off road but most people will not take the GX there. As well, Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with a lot more amenities. I'm actually looking at the xc90 now, and bmwx5 also Audi q7 and q8, not off-roaders, but I'd only have gone on the beach by my house with it anyway, and, I would only lease any of those other vehicles for obvious reasons. Please Look into the Toyota tundra and compare the upper trims yourself to the GX, they come in at approximately $10k or so less and you'll see what I mean, it's not acceptable to have a pickup truck by the non-luxury brand of the company packed with more luxury than its upper end luxury brand. They should do a little more for their loyal customers that's all I'm saying.

Land cruiser has a excellent turbo I4 hybrid turbo with Great power performance torque mpg and more. So there is no need for that

[@TRDJon]

I wish it was too

[@rickper]

I think the FE should have had the bigger motor option plus front locker and bigger tank would be awesome especially for resale I think. Just more of an upgrade to the FE

Nội thất chưa được sang trọng lắm

[@jwalk1604]

A lot of complaints around the internet that the interior is cheap feeling. Thoughts?

[@TRDJon]

I don’t think so at all

[@volvoxc9086]

​@@TRDJon People love to complain. It's what keeps them a alive

[@FatalAnimal]

GX550 does not look like luxury and it does not feel like luxury compared to the GX460 with regards to the Lexus standards that have come before this vehicle.. Toyota cheeped out! Its a beautiful design and the power train is interesting but its a down grade in materials and build quality.

[@margaritasmirnova]

It's all nice and fun but it lost lexus feel.

[@KoleOdesanya-x5d]

83k still a lot

[@ArtieMcYardie]

No sir not $80k worthy. Felt no different from my 2023 RX interior. For $80k I should be taken a level up and blown away. Also very square and uncomfortable back seats. And thin cushion. Sticken with my $51k RX.

Smart man... Kia offers nicer interior.. too bland in the new gx.

[@Taras-Nabad]

Tell me you are not comparing a KIA with a Lexus.

[@ArtieMcYardie]

@@Taras-Nabad I’m not.

[@wonchoi8663]

it would be best if you bought the overtail. I think Luxury is the one I would not consider at all. You wouldn't complain this much with other option

[@nickli320]

Look like Toyota more than the Lexus
