Remember the Toyota conference where large-scale electric vehicles were unveiled, in addition to new cars, Toyota also announced a blockbuster news: Lexus will stop selling fuel vehicles after 2035. This is undoubtedly a "bad news" for Lexus obsessives, ask how many young people have made flags, "When I go through all the changes in life, I will choose a Lexus to accompany me calmly." But I think that for the post-00s may not wait for you to grow old, the fuel Lexus has "died", just like the post-90s can not grasp the classic large displacement, what we can do is to silently watch it sleep in the historical flood of the car market. That being the case, buy and cherish.
A recent set of photos has caught my attention and I believe it will also be a feast for large-displacement crowders.
In the Lexus segment, the Lexus GX plays a medium-sized off-road SUV, which is different from the Lexus RX, and one of the major changes for the 2022 Lexus GX460 is to make it a dual-attribute luxury SUV, which can commute short distances in the city and sail deep into the mountains to share the beauty of nature with family.
In terms of appearance, in fact, the 2020 GX has adopted Lexus's new grille style, from the previous horizontal strip to dot matrix, and the 2022 Lexus GX460 continues to be used.
Compared with the horizontal strip grille, which is similar to the diamond-shaped block-like grille style, the overall appearance of the body is more sporty, and the three-eyed LED headlights are not absent on the GX460, sharp and highly recognizable.
From the side, it has a tough roof line, and at the beginning of the rim, it adopts a bright black livery, and the B-pillar C-pillar is all painted black, creating the effect of a suspended roof.
The rear of the car does not have an overly exaggerated styling design, the boxy rear window, the boxy taillights and the hidden exhaust are all moving closer to simplicity, and it is necessary to say that the eye-catching is the robust skid plate, and the tail trailer hook, of course, this is quite important for off-road vehicles. The body length, width and height are 4880/1885/1885mm, and the wheelbase of the body reaches 2790mm.
In terms of interior, it is the focus of the 2022 Lexus GX change, the previous interior has stayed at the level of a few years ago, and the interior has completely failed to meet the current era.
The new car is clearly designed with a more sporty interior design, and it is clearly moving towards technology and comfort. The 10.3-inch floating central control screen integrates mobile phone interconnection functions such as CarPlay. Due to the upward movement of the screen, the position of the air conditioner outlet is also adjusted to the bottom of the screen, and the operation area of the air conditioning and multimedia system has a certain style adjustment.
The new car's multimedia system offers a touchscreen with a customizable home screen that displays three parts at the same time, a significant improvement in intelligence compared to the previous one. In terms of comfort configuration, the front seats have been replaced with a larger and thicker shape, and are equipped with heating and ventilation functions, and an optional independent seat with armrests is selected, in addition to heating, it can also complete the function adjustment of the backrest tilt, seat sliding forward and backward. In addition, the GX460 adopts a 2+3+2 seat layout, in which the second row of seats can be folded and reclined according to the ratio of 40:20:40, while the third row of seats can be automatically folded and reclined by buttons, which is still very practical.
Interior materials maintain Lexus' consistently high standards, are well-made and solidly crafted, and everywhere highlight the sense of luxury that matches its brand positioning. In terms of active and passive safety, navigation, parking assist and electric folding heated mirrors are all standard equipment for the 2022 Lexus GX460, adding to the list of already powerful driver assistance technologies.
Like all 2022 Lexus cars, the GX460 is equipped with the Lexus Safety Systems Plus suite, which includes pre-crash braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic high beams and high-speed adaptive cruise control to meet the needs of today's full-scenario vehicles, arriving at your destination in style, comfort and safety anywhere on your adventure.
In terms of power, the 2022 Lexus GX460 still uses the classic, 4.6-liter 8-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission power combination from Toyota, with a maximum power of 301 horsepower and a peak torque of about 446 Nm. It also features a full-time four-wheel drive system, KDSS electronically controlled power adjustment suspension and AVS adaptive variable suspension system.
In the past, Lexus GX has always been an unpopular car series, whether in the Standard 4S store or in the parallel import market are like this, the past two years suddenly became popular, mainly because the parallel import version of the Lexus GX460 quotation plummeted by more than 200,000, the starting price dropped from 1.1 million to 870,000 yuan, becoming the lowest priced luxury brand eight-cylinder SUV on the market, there is no accurate news on the price, then look forward to the price and market performance of the 2022 Lexus GX460.
