The Lexus GX is a versatile SUV that can take on any terrain while providing a comfortable and luxurious ride. Since the debut of the second-generation GX in 2010, Lexus has updated the SUV over the years, with the 2023 model boasting the latest features and advanced capabilities. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable features of the 2023 Lexus GX 460.
1. High-Performance V8 Engine
The 2023 GX 460 is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 engine that delivers 301 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque. The V8 engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drivetrain. It provides ample power and acceleration, which facilitates effortless passing and merging on the freeway. The GX 460’s engine is well-insulated, which helps to reduce noise and vibrations inside the cabin.
2. Advanced Traction Control
The GX 460 features a Torsen limited-slip differential for optimal traction on uneven terrain. Under normal driving conditions, the differential distributes engine power at a ratio of 40:60 between the front and back wheels, while varying the torque feed as needed. In rough terrain, the GX 460 uses chassis technologies like hill assist, stability control, and active traction control to ease navigation.
The SUV uses the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which further improves the vehicle’s off-roading capabilities. This suspension system provides maximum wheel articulation, allowing the vehicle to maintain contact with the ground, even on extremely uneven terrain. It also reduces body roll during on-road driving, providing a more comfortable ride.
3. State-of-the-Art Infotainment System
With the 2023 GX 460, you get an advanced infotainment and connectivity system that provides a range of features to keep you entertained. Base models feature a nine-speaker audio setup that’s compatible with a range of audio sources, including satellite radio, Bluetooth streaming, and USB. Luxury models come with a 17-speaker Mark Levinson music system.
The infotainment system also features a 10-inch touchscreen display equipped with Apple Carplay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa connectivity. The touchscreen display has voice integration, which allows the driver to control various functions, such as the audio system, climate control, and navigation.
