As 2023 marches forward, the anticipation around new car launches is as palpable as ever. The Lexus GX, with its preceding reputation for delivering a blend of luxury and performance, is among the releases being eagerly watched by the UK automotive community. Let’s delve deeper and find out what this new model promises and if it might resonate with the preferences and expectations of the UK driver.
At first glance, the Lexus GX showcases a harmonious blend of sharp edges and flowing curves, highlighting a contemporary design ethos without straying too far from its signature look. The famed Lexus spindle grille returns, this time with a slightly evolved twist that makes it look more integrated with the car’s front profile. While subjective, there’s little denying that this vehicle will turn heads, especially for those who favour a commanding road presence.
Lexus has always boasted of luxury and this iteration of the GX doesn’t skimp on it. Expect plush seating with high-grade materials that should make long journeys an absolute pleasure. From a tech standpoint, indications suggest the integration of a comprehensive infotainment system, hopefully addressing past critiques of some Lexus systems being less intuitive than their competitors. Inclusion of the latest connectivity and driver-assist features will likely be standard fare, positioning the GX well in its segment.
Early test drives abroad hint at a smooth, powerful ride that the GX lineage is known for. We are, however, keen to see how this model adapts to the uniquely challenging road conditions and varied terrains of the UK. As with many luxury SUVs, there’s often a fine balance between off-road capability and city driving refinement – a scale on which the GX’s performance will be keenly judged.
In the era of electric propulsion and environmental consciousness, fuel efficiency and emissions are ever-pertinent issues. While the exact specs for the UK market are yet to be confirmed, it’s reasonable to hope for improvements on this front. Given the automotive industry’s push towards sustainable driving, it’ll be interesting to see if Lexus introduces any hybrid or electric variants of the GX for the British audience.
The Lexus GX promises a blend of sophistication, performance, and luxury. While many of its merits are almost a given considering the brand’s legacy, we’ll be paying close attention to user experiences and practical aspects once it hits the UK roads. As with any car, it’s not just about the spec sheet or the brand emblem, but how it fits into the lives of its drivers. Only time will tell if the new GX manages to strike that sweet spot for the discerning UK motorist.
One of the most pressing questions surrounding the Lexus GX is: “When can we get our hands on it?” Lexus is only launching the model in Eastern Europe first and its most likely to go on sale in 2024.
As for the pricing, Lexus is yet to reveal the official figures. However, industry insiders suggest that the base model will likely start at around £65,000, with higher trims and optional packages pushing the price upward. Stay tuned to Askaprice.com for an in-depth review and test drive once the GX is officially launched in the UK.
