2026
LEXUS GX 550

The 2026 GX 550 Luxury features a bold, boxy silhouette that pays homage to its off-road heritage while incorporating modern Lexus aesthetics. In the Luxury trim, the focus shifts toward premium road presence and interior opulence. Key identifiers for this grade include massive 22-inch forged alloy wheels and sophisticated exterior lighting.

Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary of Japanese craftsmanship. It features a three-row, 7-passenger configuration as standard (though 6-passenger with captain's chairs is an available option). The Luxury grade distinguishes itself from the base Signature and Premium trims by utilizing Semi-Aniline leather and adding massage functions to the front seats, making it a true cross-country cruiser.
