2012 Lexus GX SUV Review & Ratings

The release of Lexus GX SUV proved that Lexus is true to its commitment of maintaining its tradition of producing luxurious vehicles that are both comfortable and inviting. Known for its impressive 3-row seating, as well as striking interiors, the Lexus GX is the best choice for luxury SUVs. Moreover, the latest model of Lexus GX has a unique capability to travel farther on off-road distances, which is not a common trait on other luxury SUVs.

The 2012 Lexus GX SUV is being released in a time when crossover SUVs are gaining popularity in the automobile industry. Car enthusiasts can't help but notice the truck-based underpinnings of this SUV come in handy during towing or going on an off-road travel. However, such rugged truck features tend to lead to higher weight and lower fuel efficiency. Because of this, the Lexus GX is not a good choice for on-road driving - which most Sports Utility Vehicle owners are often fond of doing. The Lexus GX SUV was discontinued after the year 2009, but it somehow continued to perform strong in the used market, leading Lexus to recently come out with the latest model of this SUV: 2012 Lexus GX 460.

The features of the 2012 Lexus GX 460 have not been changed, except for the chrome inspired body side moldings on the base trimmings, which is new for this type of Sports Utility Vehicle. There are also the glossy wheels in its Premium trim. The vehicle provides a smooth and quiet ride on long road trips, and it has the ability to skillfully navigate on rock and root strewn trails. The GX 460 SUV of Lexus is known for its great performance and works just like a Land Rover - without the dubious consistency. Because of the 2012 Lexus GX 460's body-on-frame feature, it operates just like a truck would, rather than a typical SUV Crossover. The GX 460 would not fail to impress its passengers with its smooth ride, as well as respectable handling. However, those who are not fond of taking corners in a more aggressive way will notice a sufficient roll and intervention on the body of this Sports Utility Vehicle, which is rooted in the SUV's stability control.
