It's based on the latest midsize Toyota Land Cruiser, but with an upscale cabin typical of a Lexus, unique styling, and a far more powerful powertrain; whereas the Toyota uses a hybridized turbo-four, all GXs come with a 349-hp twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6. Unlike most rivals, the GX is off-road ready, with standard 4WD and a dual-range transfer case. Overtrail trims add adaptive suspension, a locking rear diff, and Multi-Terrain Control.2026 Lexus GX Overtrail in IncognitoLexusWhat's New for 2027The 2027 GX is not expected to change much at all, except for a small price increase, but there have been rumors of a hybrid joining the lineup. We don't know if this will happen for MY2027, but it might.2026 Lexus GX Overtrail in Atomic SilverLView the 2 images of this gallery on the original articleExteriorThe GX's boxy, upright design is unmistakably that of the Land Cruiser it's based on, but the big Lexus spindle grille distinguishes it, alongside distinctive arrow-like DRLs and unique taillights with a full-width light bar. Pronounced fender flares and an elevated ride height communicate the off-road intent, with Overtrail trims adding two-color paint finishes with a black roof, as well as 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. Other trims wear either 20- or 22-inch wheels.2026 Lexus GX Overtrail in IncognitoLexusView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe design hard points and general layout of the dashboard are clearly the same as the Land Cruiser, but the GX cabin features unique styling and upscale materials. Three seating rows for seven people are standard, with dual 2nd-row captain's chairs reducing capacity to six, but the Overtrails are 2-row, 5-passenger trims. The third row will accommodate adults over shorter distances.

The 10-speed automatic is smooth and predictable. It's not made to carve corners, but is composed enough, despite noticeable body roll. It does a great job off-road, especially with the Overtrail trims featuring E-KDSS suspension and Multi-Terrain Select.2026 Lexus GX OvertrailLexusFuel Economy (MPG)ConfigurationCityHighwayCombinedGX 550 (all trims)15 mpg21 mpg17 mpgTowing and PayloadSpecificationCapacityMaximum Towing (Premium/Overtrail)9,063 - 9,096 lbsMaximum Towing (Luxury/Luxury+)7,601 - 8,020 lbsMaximum Payload1,210 - 1,490 lbs4WD System OverviewAll GXs come with full-time 4WD with a 2-speed transfer case, low range, and a Torsen center LS diff, so torque is distributed evenly to the axles that need it.

Performance is good, up to three seating rows are available, and the expected Lexus dependability is baked in. Fuel economy lags rivals, but the expected hybrid should fix that once it arrives. The GX is still the ideal adventure-focused midsize choice for those who want to venture beyond the beaten path.2026 Lexus GX Premium in Nebula Gray PearlLexusCompetitorsLand Rover Defender 110Jeep Grand CherokeeLexus TXLand Rover DiscoveryAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 4, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
