Now in its second generation, the seven-passenger Lexus GX 460 full-size sport utility returns for 2023 with a starting price of $57,575 (plus $1,150 freight) for the base model.
Also in the lineup are the Premium ($58,910); Black Line Special Edition ($62,310), and top-of-the-line Luxury ($67,080), which we tested for this report.

Our Luxury test vehicle came with the Off-Road Package ($1,570), which added such special features as a multi-terrain panoramic-view monitor, a transmission cooler, fuel-tank protector, Crawl Control, and multi-terrain drive-mode selector.

The test vehicle came in the Atomic Silver exterior color with Rioja Red semi-aniline leather interior and Gray Sapele wood with Aluminum interior trim.
Standard interior features of the Luxury model include the Lexus Memory System;…
