The 2011 Lexus GX 460 Ultra Premium represents the pinnacle of Lexus's "Sophisticated Utility" philosophy for the Canadian market. Positioned as a true body-on-frame luxury SUV, it strikes a rare balance between genuine off-road capability—inherited from its Land Cruiser Prado roots—and the refined, whisper-quiet cabin experience expected of a Lexus flagship.
The Ultra Premium package was the top-tier trim in Canada, adding sophisticated driver-assist technologies and high-end materials that transformed the rugged GX into a mobile sanctuary.

Distinctive Characteristics
The "Dual-Nature" Suspension: The KDSS system is a highlight of this generation, using hydraulic cylinders to automatically adjust the stabilizer bars. This allows the GX to corner flatly on pavement while remaining flexible enough to traverse deep ruts off-road.
Canadian Cold Weather Readiness: The Ultra Premium trim includes a high-intensity headlamp washer system and heated seats for both the front and second-row outboard passengers, essential for northern climates.
Silent Cabin: Extensive use of acoustic glass and sound-dampening materials makes the 2011 GX 460 one of the quietest vehicles in its class, even when the V8 is under load.
