2023 Lexus GX460 Review: Old Dog with Newer Tech

- čas přidán 1. 07. 2024
- The 2023 Lexus GX460 pulled up to my house and it was virtually identical to the previous 2020 that I had reviewed. The 2023 model was even in the same Atomic Silver as the other one. It’s unfortunate that the GX460 doesn’t have more lively color except for the Nori Green Pearl that’s exclusive to the Black Line Special Edition. The Sport Design Package added front and rear spoilers so be sure to take those into consideration during approach of off-roading obstacles.
Getting in the GX460, the red leather seats make their presence known. It is a shame that if you want the red interior option, you’ll have to settle for white, black, or silvers for exterior colors. Then seats themselves are extremely comfortable with heated and vented options. The adjustability makes it easy to tailor to your preference for those long drives to adventure. The biggest change that this 2023 had compared to the 2020 is the infotainment system. We finally get Apple CarPlay although it is still a wired version. If the cameras haven’t been upgraded, the screen was definitely hindering their quality because they now look incredibly clear as you climb any obstacle.
Under the hood, the 4.6L V8 engine was outputting 301 horsepower through the 6-speed auto, and then to the full-time four wheel drive. Although the power numbers seem low to today’s standards, the low end delivery of it makes it seem like a lot more. From a stop, the GX460 will get moving and keep going in the mid and upper power band. The full-time four wheel drive, along with safety systems, and tires, kept me going in the right direction when I hit a patch of ice on an overpass. The crawl control was also great in assisting me to get up my inclined street that was iced over.
After revisiting the Lexus GX460, I am ready to pull out my check book. I may hold off and see what engine goes into the next generation model since the MPG values can be a little on the low side and I’m liking the wireless Apple CarPlay systems that some of the lower Lexus models have. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Got same color in and out but with bench and premium package last week, what a great vehicle! just wish it has wireless apple carplay.
Congrats! The GX was a fun ride for that week. I totally agree on the wireless CarPlay thing. You may want to look into those dongles that are available. You basically connect it to your USB port and then you wirelessly connect from your phone to the dongle and it projects the Apple CarPlay.
If you can't buy gas, you definitely will not want to buy a turbo for one of these V6 twin turbo engines. Time tells all. At this point time has tested the natural V8 in the GX.
and the GX got all straights A's
The new 2024 GX twin turbo V6 only gets one mile more per gallon over the 2023 GX, so the new GX Turbo is not a gas winner!
Wow. Just paid 700$ and booked a gx in Dubai.. exact same color interior and exterior as this. Delivery in 3 to 6 months is a bummer, anyway waiting excitedly. Excellent review..
Thanks for watching. You’re going to love it and it’s going to be worth the wait!
Love the silver/red combination. Fantastic review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I don’t mind the silver but the Nori green is incredible. I feel like the GX can pull off TRD Pro style colors and hope they had more options.
The Nebula Grey Pearl sports package with the Rioja red interior got me. I dam near ran to the dealership.
Honest review is good
Just got mine this passed Monday. Took a day or so to get comfortable with it coming from a Honda CRV. I use to have previously a 2012 Honda pilot which is slightly smaller than the GX 460. I have to say there is no comparison to the GX 460. It is a great truck and growing to love it more day by day. Will not miss quarterly visits to the dealer for one problem or another, looking foward for a care free relationship!
Congrats! It is so nice to drive and definitely an upgrade from your Pilot! What trim/options did you go with?
Wanted Atomic Silver. They only had one out of eight with the Premium Package. My only regret is it didn’t come with the Mark Levitson Audio system, but the regular one is not that bad at all. Will learn to love it.
Just turn the volume knob a little bit more lol. Get ready for 300k+ miles and a crazy good resale value! Definitely recommend joining GX Facebook groups to join a great community of owners.
You’ll soon enjoy your quarterly weekly visits to the gas station though lol enjoy her. Love mine as well.
@@AlxDv It could have been that way, but being retired and not driving as much I’m averaging every 3 weeks to my gas station.
I always love this vehicle even though the tail lights kinda droopy.
Lexus should’ve went with a dark red matte with the rear lights on this car.
You can change the keyless entry unlock setting to work on all the doors
I knew there had to be a setting. Thanks for watching.
this thing has the American Dad jaw
Well now I can’t unsee it lol
This is the luxury correct ?
Edit; just saw yup
That is correct.
Hey are you in Texas? You said you didn’t like those tail lights. You want to swap? I just got a 2023 GX last week
I don’t own the GX. This was a press car loaner I had for a week to review.
@@Revmatchmedia ah man ok! Great review though!
This is a tank which retain value 20 years from now.
Yup! I was looking at getting a used one and they were practically the price of a new one lol.
..9:00….
Gx owners don’t care about mpg tbh
We do😅 but this extra cost is our extra enjoyment of f driving it
