Lexus has attracted attention since it unveiled the 2025 GX and began selling it in the US. The off-road-specific trim Over Trail is equipped with an improved suspension. The Lexus GX is a 7-seater off-roader with a body-on-frame design that has returned with a third-generation redesigned version. In terms of exterior design, it follows the boxy style of an authentic SUV, and the side fender volume stands out. The sharply designed headlamps, daytime running lights, and tail lamps connected on the left and right add to the style.

In terms of body size, it boasts a large size of 5,004 mm (197.0 inches) in length, 2,117 mm (83.3 inches) in width, 1,915~1935 mm (75.4~76.2 inches) in height, and 2,850 mm (112.2 inches) in wheelbase. In terms of interior, depending on the trim, it consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 14-inch display, semi-aniline leather seats, electrically adjustable third-row seats, and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system.

Premium SUV Priced Around $65,000

The new Lexus GX’s powertrain is a 3.4-liter 6-cylinder gasoline twin turbo and a 10-speed automatic transmission. It produces a maximum output of 349 horsepower and a maximum torque of 66.2 kg.m. The price has increased by about $690 to $65,285.

For the off-road-specific trim Overtrail, the lift-up suspension has been added, raising the minimum ground clearance by 25 mm (1.0 inches). The approach angle has been changed to 26 degrees, and the departure angle to 24 degrees. In addition, the GX is a 6-seater with 7 seats and 2nd-row independent seats. Up to 12 cup holders, up to 6 charging ports, and a 120V inverter that supplies power to auxiliary equipment have enhanced convenience.

Reviving Lexus Popularity
Building Momentum with the GX

With the debut of its new GX, Lexus is boldly moving to recapture attention in the global automotive market. Japanese automakers, which faced a slump in sales due to a boycott of Japanese products, are seeing renewed interest. This comeback is primarily attributed to their impressive price-to-performance ratios and their dominance in hybrid technology, which has become a hot trend in the industry.

Following the popularity of hybrids, Japanese vehicle sales also skyrocket

Japanese vehicle sales are recovering due to the recent popularity of hybrids. Since Japanese automakers are strong in hybrids, they continue to benefit from this. In fact, from January to November this year, 119,905 hybrid vehicles were sold, up 50.8% from the same period last year. Hybrids were the only ones to show growth, with a market share of 56.8% in the imported vehicle market.

Lexus sold 12,730 hybrid vehicles (including plug-in hybrids) during this period, accounting for 99% of total sales. Toyota sold 8,218 cars, accounting for 95.4% of total sales, all hybrid vehicles. Honda also sold more than half of its cars, 65.9%, as hybrids.
