The new generation of the Lexus GX will be unveiled for the 2024 model year, and Lexus on Tuesday released its third teaser image and confirmed its June 8 debut. The first two teaser photos were released earlier this month.
June 8 is also when Lexus will reveal the TX, a new model line that twins the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander that was just revealed. Like the Grand Highlander, the TX will be a mid-size SUV with a third row of seats, and very focused on staying on the road.
Lexus hasn’t released any details about the new GX but it’s supposed to be a mid-size SUV with a third row of seats, just like the current generation. However, to differentiate it from the TX, the GX is likely to offer genuine off-road capabilities, thanks to it being developed alongside the new generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado for markets outside the US. This is similar to how the US got its hands on Lexus. LX, while other markets accept related Toyota Land Cruiser.
The intended platform for the new GX is the Toyota TNGA-F body-on-frame platform shared with the Land Cruiser and LX twins, as well as the Toyota Tundra pickup and related Sequoia SUV. The platform is also featured in the recently revealed 2024 Toyota Tacoma pickup, and will likely end up in the associated 4Runner SUV at some point.
Recent teaser photos reveal a checkered design for the GX and prominent fender flares for a confident attitude. The teaser also shows a light strip that spans the width of the tailgate and connects to a relatively small taillight cluster.
The powertrain for the US-spec GX is likely a detuned version of the 409 hp turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 found in the LX. A hybrid option may also become available at some point. The current GX 460 uses an ancient 4.6-liter V-8 that puts out 301 hp like the V-6.
Lexus has another new model line debuting on June 5, though this one likely won’t make it to the US. The new model line is called the LBX, and is rumored to be a subcompact crossover developed especially for the European market.
