Toyota Motor Co.’s upscale brand Lexus, has been teasing the auto industry for over a year with the redesign of their GX. That time has finally come and worth a wait is an understatement.
In Grasso’s Garage, the 2024 Lexus GX550 Premium+ wrapped in Nightfall Mica, a pristine deep blue with metallic flake that certainly shines as its exterior appearance is flawless. Riding on 20-inch, six-twin spoke alloy wheels, the black and bright machined finish wheels fit nicely under the bolstered quarter panels. The boxy-like exterior is what everyone has been waiting for and Lexus kicked it out of the park. Keeping up with the GX historic success, this new release for 2024 is going to be a really good one for Lexus.
Sight lines, infotainment system, interior options and power, top the focus in Grasso’s Garage for the GX550 Premium+. Powered by an all-new 3.4L V6 Twin-Turbo engine producing 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, the GX550 is a torque monster and one that can tow up to 8,000 pounds. Also, our GX550 is four-wheel drive. Interior wise, this one shows out similar to other Lexus models in the fleet with their large infotainment setup and center console layout. With the addition of ultra plush seats that massage and the addition of Lexus-like luxury finishes, all of the recent hype is true; this is one amazing SUV. 2nd row captains seats are an option on the GX while a bench second row is standard and third row seating is also standard. The 2024 GX boasts 6 different model options, from Premium to Overtrail+ with base price starting at $64,250.
Toyota Motor Co. and luxury brand Lexus have consistently produced very reliable vehicles to the end consumer. There are many ES, RX, NX and LS owners that I know today who have had their Lexus for many years and absolutely love it. The design of a Lexus also never goes out of style and success rides with consumer loyalty. Well, I am here to tell you that SUV consumers and Lexus are going to become more familiar with each other, because the 2024 GX is here and I can only imagine the orders that are already flying at dealerships. Great work Lexus, it was worth the wait! The Midsize Luxury Category deserves a chart-topper in Grasso’s Garage, and this is easily it! Angela, have you ordered yours yet?
