2015 Lexus GX 460

The newest addition to the Lexus truck lineup is the 2015 Lexus GX 460 vehicle. It is a car that can go where others cannot, it can literary overpass any kind of terrain and go over it like it is nothing. But it is not at all a gritty vehicle that its performance makes it to be, this is a Lexus after all. It combines ruggedness with style and finesse and has a very high level of luxury to add to the entire mix.

It will come with a full off-road package with an enhanced cabin for family trips and even a four wheel drive system for those who are valiant enough to go on some off-roading during the weekend. But it actually offers a crossover experience as it large fuel consumption might make it a hard sell in the US. Even with the gas prices in America at a stable rate it could be really hard to make this product something that might pay off, but its versatility might do the trick this time.

The design might be a good one and the performance is certainly a selling point here. Someone who has already driven a hard truck like this one will not have any problems in getting accustomed to the tourqy quality of the car. The inside cabin is very quiet and adds to the entire atmosphere and the driving performance on different kinds of terrain is as good as ever. Study the review for more updates on the car and see the release date and price info.

2015 Lexus GX 460 exterior

As the Lexus GX 460 enters in its sixth generation of production, we are not getting any particular updates to the exterior of the car. The design which was initially introduced back in 2010 has mainly been kept as it did not require that much updating even this year. But the small things that were added are the new Lexus spindle grille and the addition of LED day time running lights and headlamps. Let’s not forget the new wheels that the Lexus is rolling on as well.

The SUV proportions for the update of the GX 460’s exterior were bowered a bit form Toyota’s trucks like the Tundra pickup, which may have been borrowed but are in fact a very nice addition to the overall look. It is not too extroverted nor flashy and it possesses the right amount of down to earth characteristics that are needed. But generally speaking the qualities that make it seem like a regular truck are its carved out fenders and its tall but very imposing beltline that makes it look quite trucky actually.

 

Interior

The inside holds a typical truck like atmosphere that you can see in any type of a truck, so there are actually no surprises inside the GX 460. But the Lexus falls short in adding equipment and various additions to the inside that was previously expected to be done. Yet there are enough things stored inside it to make it a competent vehicle non-the-less. The convenience has been enhanced with the addition of the most common comfort features, while the very rich infotainment system does not hurt as well.

Inside the Lexus GS 460 you will find a very useful Intuitive Park Assist, to help you with the parking of this large vehicle. Entertainment has been enhanced with the newest 330-watt Mark Levinson surround-sound system and a rear-seat entertainment system, which is added extra. There is a pretty good safety package that will bolster the security when driving and includes driver attention monitor, intelligent high-beam assist, dynamic cruise control, lane-departure alert, crawl control a wide-view front-and-side monitor. Added are the navigation system and an Enform suite of services with a Destination Assist service additionally included.

 

Engine

A powerful vehicle like the Lexus GS 460 needs to be powered with a powerful engine, so for the year of 2015 a 301-horsepower V-8 engine was chosen to be fitted under the hood. The car now packs quite a punch and It even has some pretty good acceleration numbers, being able to reach 0 to 60 in 7.8 seconds.  With the added six-speed automatic transmission system it even has some very smooth shifting abilities as well. Keep in mind that this time it will also have a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System added to its powertrain setup. The gas mileage stats say that the estimated EPA is 15 mpg city, 20 highway making this vehicle not a good bargain when it comes to spending money on gas.

 

Release date and price

The 2015 Lexus GX 460 will get its release date published pretty soon and it might happen that during you are reading this review it might get announced, so stay tuned about this info. On the other hand the price is already set at a whapping 49,485 USD base MSRP.
