2013 Lexus GX Review Pictures
The 2013
GX is a 4-door, up to 8-passenger luxury sport-utility, available
in one trim only, the Sport Utility. Its closest competitors include
the Acura MDX, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Volvo XC90. The Lexus
GX 470 is positioned in the luxury-utility vehicle market segment,
with a single model strategy augmented by major options and option
packages. Most luxury SUVs nowadays are based on cars. They are essentially
high-riding, all-wheel-drive alternatives to luxury station wagons
and are usually built on front-wheel-drive unit-body sedan platforms.
The GX 470, on the other hand, is based on traditional truck engineering
concepts. It uses body-on-frame construction, a rear-wheel-drive chassis
layout, a rugged four-wheel-drive system, and a live rear axle. Upon
introduction, it is equipped with a standard 4.7-liter, V8, 235-horsepower
engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 18-mpg on the highway.
A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. It is
a carryover from 2004.
2013 Lexus GX rides smoothly and coddles its occupants in Lexus luxury.
Yet it also offers incredibly good offroad capability that rivals.
It benefits from a powerful 4.7-liter V8 and a five-speed automatic
that are responsive, smooth and quiet. It's equipped with the latest
in offroad technology, including a suspension and drivetrain that
gives it the ability to go virtually anywhere. But it's also prepared
very well for on-road driving, where most of us spend most of our
time. Its brakes are excellent and it's equipped with Vehicle Skid
Control, a sophisticated system designed to help the driver maintain
control in slippery corners. Inside, it is roomy and quiet, swathed
in leather and birdseye maple. It is a Lexus, so everything is where
it's supposed to be; the switchgear and other controls are a study
in ergonomic excellence.
