The 2024 Lexus GX 550 for the Canadian market represents a complete redesign, evolving into a more ruggedly styled, yet still luxurious, body-on-frame SUV. It is positioned as a "Sophisticated Utility Vehicle" that blends genuine off-road capability with premium comfort and cutting-edge technology. The new generation features a bold, squared-off exterior design that clearly emphasizes its robust underpinnings and adventurous spirit, while the cabin maintains the signature Lexus refinement.
It is built on the GA-F platform (shared with the Lexus LX 600), which enhances body rigidity and improves both on-road handling and off-road performance. The GX 550 is offered in multiple grades, including the new Overtrail and Overtrail+ variants, which are specifically tailored for off-road enthusiasts with unique features like 33-inch All-Terrain tires and advanced suspension technology. It offers seating for up to seven passengers in some trims and provides a significant boost in performance and towing capacity over the previous generation.
