The GX is for those who want luxury wrapped in rugged adventure.
Genuine off-road capability · Luxurious interior finish
Third row is kids-only territory · Fuel economy is a letdown
The 2026 Lexus GX is a breath of fresh air for SUV enthusiasts who crave both luxury and a genuine off-road experience. With a 3.4L V6 twin-turbo engine churning out 349 horsepower, it has the muscle to tackle rugged terrains while cocooning you in a plush, high-quality cabin. We were pleasantly surprised by its ability to transition from a muddy trail to a sophisticated night out in the city with ease. However, the third row is more of a token gesture than a practical feature, and the fuel economy is, frankly, disappointing. If you're the sort who often finds themselves on unpaved roads and cherishes a touch of elegance, the GX should be on your shortlist.
Our pick: GX 550 Overtrail ($73,230)
vs. 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser: While the Land Cruiser undercuts the GX in price, the Lexus offers a more luxurious interior and better creature comforts.
