How it scores for you10 scores
Rugged Land Cruiser bones, 9,000-lb towing and modern tech make it the rare luxury SUV built for real adventure - fuel economy stays its weak point.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 4 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +8 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $4,750 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — among the most expensive cars we track to run.
10.3 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the SUVs we track.
Boxy and roomy up front; the third row remains occasional-use.
Vastly more composed than the old GX and strong off-road; still a heavy, trucky machine on pavement.
Large touchscreen and modern driver aids finally bring the GX current.
Big improvement in ride and quietness, though off-road-biased tires and the truck platform show through.
Luxury brands like Lexus tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 9,096 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
