Lexus U.S.A launches the 2026 GX SUV

The 2026 Lexus GX carries over from the prior model year and is offered in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, Overtrail, and Overtrail+.

It shares the GA-F platform introduced on the current-generation LX, which increases body rigidity and improves on-road handling. The platform is optimally engineered to withstand twisting off-road forces, maximise suspension performance, create stable wheel articulation, and offer consistent tyre contact, all while maintaining in-cabin stability.

The 2026 GX comes with a double-wishbone front suspension paired with a multi-link rear suspension for high level off-road driving performance and on-road prowess

Under its hood, a 3.4-litre V6 engine blurts out an output of 344bhp and 649Nm of torque. The SUV also comes with Full-Time 4WD as standard.

The 2026 GX has a square-body profile with a horizontal design motif. At the front, standard Triple-Beam LED headlamps and the grille opening have been strategically placed to help avoid potential road impact, with LED fog and cornering lamps available for increased visibility.

The 2026 GX's standard Torsen limited-slip locking centre differential provides exceptional control in low grip situations and prevents excess wheel spin

The 2026 GX will be offered in a number of exterior colour options depending on grade. This includes Eminent White Pearl, Nebula Gray Pearl, Atomic Silver, Incognito, Caviar, Nori Green Pearl, and Nightfall Mica. The Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades will offer exclusive bi-tone exterior colour combinations including Atomic Silver/Black Roof, Incognito/Black Roof, Nori Green Pearl/Black Roof, and Earth/Black Roof.

Inside the 2026 GX's driver-focussed cockpit, a low, horizontal instrument panel design carries into the dash. This connects the available Head-Up Display (HUD) to the centre, where the standard 14-inch Multimedia Touchscreen Display with Lexus Interface technology can be found.

Inside, the 2026 GX is available in both a semi-aniline leather and NuLuxe trimmed interior in Black, Dapple Gray, or Saddle Tan with a black or dark brown grained trim

The second row is available in two configurations: Captain's chairs or a 60:40 split-folding bench (Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+). A one-motion tumble system is featured for convenient access to the third row/luggage space. Heated and ventilated outboard seats are standard in the driver and front passenger seats, with available heated second-row seats.

Lexus has said that the 2026 GX will be assembled at its Tahara plant in Japan.
