Lexus has a pivotal position in the hearts of the Chinese people, whether it is a market share or word of mouth is the leader in the field of second-tier luxury, becoming one of the few high-end representatives of Japanese models. Recently, in order to further expand sales channels, the 2022 Lexus GX 460 was exposed in the domestic real car, triggering heated discussions among many parties. According to the official information of the brand, the new car will be built from the same door as the Prado division, built by the same architecture, and there is no need to worry about quality control. Of course, as a flagship model, the price of the new GX 460 will not be close to the ground, and the expected starting price will be around 1.5 million yuan, and friends who have the idea of buying a car need to hurry up and save money.
In fact, in recent times, the luxury car camp has been full of twists and turns, and Lexus is facing huge competitive pressure. Previously, it only needed to compete with opponents such as Cadillac, but now Hongqi and Lincoln have shown a strong upward trend, and their influence among consumers has gradually expanded, affecting the brand's progress. In particular, the new red flag is rising in terms of market share, coupled with the aura of "domestic goods", many of its new cars have ranked among the ranks of star models, which cannot be ignored for many young consumers. In addition, in order to seize more shares, the top three BBA companies are also slowly exploring the price point, squeezing the living space of car companies such as Lexus with brand advantages, making it difficult to find a way out.
Overall, the new GX 460 is worthy of flagship positioning in many ways, and is the culmination of the brand's car-making skills. First of all, the appearance, which is based on the new concept of the family, also integrates the current trend elements for a certain degree of adjustment, can keep up with the changes in the aesthetic trend of customers in time, so as to gain more favor. The classic "spindle" on the front part of the face is eye-catching outside the mesh, the size is quite outstanding, and the inside is also filled with scaled chrome plating, which is a powerful aura that is unforgettable. Its headlight group shape is exaggerated and tough, and its aggression is more obvious than that of many opponents. The built-in LED light source supports a variety of modes of dynamic effects, and the night look and feel is very good. The air intakes on both sides are very deep and the recognition is improved.
Coming to the side, maybe the new GX 460 will give you an illusion. It is basically consistent with the Prado in the main contour, and it is all in the style of a tough guy. The car is outlined in chrome around the window, which is very ornamental. The silver luggage rack on the roof part is very eye-catching, which can expand the storage space at some times to meet the needs of a variety of cars. The pedal under the door is more suitable for the height of the ground, which is convenient for passengers to get on and off. The wide wheel eyebrows are obviously raised outwards, which can improve the vehicle's traffic capacity. The large-size aluminum alloy wheels are more eye-catching, and the industrial texture can be felt under the dynamic observation. In terms of tail, the new GX 460 split taillight group is full of personality, and it can be found far away when lit. There are two stout trim strips at the license plate, and the three-dimensional sense is enhanced. Although the value of the face has not been the advantage of Lexus, but in order to meet the latest needs of the market, the new GX 460 still handed over a qualified report card in this regard.
Walking into the car, you may be disappointed more than surprised. The overall layout is almost the same as prado, and the novelty is very general. Of course, the interior materials of the car are still highlighted, and a large number of leather materials and piano paint elements are cleverly matched, giving people a strong visual impact. However, if you dare to sell at a price of 1.5 million yuan, the car is still quite general in terms of scientific and technological attributes. The size of the suspension central control screen is very mediocre, and some functional buttons are retained around the periphery, as if playing with the retro style, which is incompatible with the current touch screen trend. Its vehicle and machine system can not have too high expectations, can only be said to meet the basic car needs. Fortunately, the dashboard interface design is quite brilliant, which can clearly monitor the multiple situations of the vehicle.
In terms of size, the new GX 460 is 4880mm long, which is not ideal for positioning. However, the car is still worthy of praise in the utilization of internal space, especially when the legs of the front driver's seat are more comfortable, and the head is not obviously depressed. The central handrail box is impressively deep and can hold many small items for daily use. The luggage compartment can expand a large space, and some large-sized objects are not a problem.
The new GX 460 is definitely worth a look in terms of power. Some models are equipped with a 4.6L V8 naturally aspirated engine, which cannot be reduced in performance. The new car will be able to get a strong boost of 301 horsepower, in addition to a peak torque of 446 Nm. The 6-speed automatic transmission is well handled and complements the chicken leg shift lever to give you a pleasant driving experience. Of course, the four-wheel drive system cannot be absent, and it will not feel powerless in the face of complex road conditions such as rough mountain roads and muddy roads. In fact, the new GX 460 is still a powerful car, showing strong competitiveness in many aspects, and is not behind in the face of many opponents. However, its pricing is still debatable, after all, everyone is very rational when buying a car now, and they will not blindly start. The new car is more general in terms of cost performance, and it is best to choose to make a profit on the market.
