After the UX and RX, the GX is next to receive updates from Lexus USA. The GX can now be had in a Black Line Special Edition guise, which is also available in Starfire Pearl, Black Onyx and Nori Green Pearl color options.
Inside the GX Black Line is a headliner in black, as well as a combination of surfaces covered in bi-tone black Nuluxe with gray-colored bolster inserts and stitching. Matte Black Ash Wood trim on the GX’s steering wheel is standard on all Black Line Special Editions. Meanwhile, Lexus roof rail cross bars are an option.
An enhanced center console, updated 10.3-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa integration, are part of the GX Black Line's connectivity tech. Six USB ports throughout the GX can charge devices.
The premium suite of connected technology offers multiple ways to stay connected, including the three-year Lexus Enform Remote trial, which remotely starts the engine using select smart devices.
Meanwhile, with Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), the GX enhances handling and ride comfort by helping to keep the vehicle level in both on and off-road conditions. When the GX encounters an uneven surface, one compressed cylinder causes fluid to flow to the other cylinder, helping the vehicle to keep all four wheels on the ground. The system works without any action needed by the driver.
Another asset of the GX for on-road smoothness is the available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS). The AVS uses electronically controlled dampers that adjust to road surface conditions. The driver can tailor the ride by selecting from Normal, Sport or Comfort modes.
Torsen torque-sensing limited slip center differential, on the other hand, distributes power 40:60 front to rear under most driving conditions and changes the ratio as needed based on wheel slip. The four-wheel-drive system offers a low range for slow speed off-road driving, and the center differential can be electronically locked.
