Million Lexus SUV! Off-road performance sets the benchmark This new car is coming soon!
Recently, Lexus officially released a new generation of Lexus GX trailer map, and said that the car will make its world premiere in Austin, Texas, on June 9, Beijing time.
It was previously revealed that the new generation of Lexus GX may be introduced into China through official channels in the future, and this "hardcover" overbearing may return to people's attention. For reference, the guidance price of the 2015 Lexus GX that has been discontinued in China is 848,000 yuan, and it is expected that the new generation of Lexus GX will still be at a million-level price.
Judging from the teaser image and the previous hypothetical picture, the design of the new generation Lexus GX may be more radical. The large, trapezoidal air intakes resembling the large-mouth style could replace Lexus' signature spindle front grille.
Compared to the current second-generation GX model, the new generation model seems to reflect a more hardcore style. It adopts a number of horizontal straight elements on the body, including headlights, body rib lines, through-the-line taillight group shape adjusted from vertical to horizontal layout, overall blackened mesh front grille, mirrors and other body details.
Designs such as gloss black roof racks, black roof shark fin antennas, exposed rear wipers, and individually open rear glass will also appear on the new car. Combined with bright chrome trim and boxy and powerful body contours, the Lexus GX model will always have a sense of power and high-grade high-grade sensibility will also be more comprehensive.
The Lexus GX is a hardcore SUV that focuses on off-road ability, and its replacement will further enrich Lexus' diversified product lineup.
In terms of interior, there is no official or other sources of news about the new car, but the new car may converge with the new generation LX600 in terms of design style, and will adopt a new Lexus family design, and excellent interior texture has always been Lexus' advantage.

The new model will most likely be equipped with a large-size dual-screen central control, and the detailed design of the steering wheel, gear lever and button layout may be updated to the latest Lexus family design. It is expected that its luxury will not be inferior to the old model.
In terms of power, according to previous news, the new Lexus GX will be developed based on the GA-F platform under the Toyota TNGA architecture, but its power system has not been officially announced. It is expected that the overall change in performance may not be large, but it is likely to be equipped with a mild hybrid system composed of a low-capacity battery and motor. This meets increasingly stringent environmental emission requirements.
For reference, Toyota has equipped the next-generation Sequoia model sold in the North American market with an i-Force Max 3.5T V6 hybrid system and a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Although the current generation of Lexus GX series on sale is on the same platform as Toyota Prado, due to the positioning of the Lexus luxury brand, it will be different from Prado on the basis of hardware such as process materials. Therefore, the GX series is also regarded as a "luxury version" Prado by many consumers.
At present, after the production of Lexus GX in previous years in China, the official has not announced plans to introduce it into China, and the new generation of Lexus GX may attract many emotional consumers.
If the new model can be sold in China, compared with BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 and other models of the same level, the advantages of Lexus GX may be in stronger performance and off-road ability, if you don't want to be too high-profile, Lexus GX is also a good choice.
