Lexus has unveiled the 2023 GX 460 SUV. According to Toyota’s luxury division, the 2023 GX 460 will come with several enhancements that will further give the modern sport-utility vehicle the balance of sophistication and impressive capability making it ready for practically any occasion.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What are the minor changes featured in the 2023 GX 460?

    According to Lexus, the 2023 GX 460 comes with a new color and a better sound system (on the Luxury grade).
  • How many units of the Black Line Special Edition will be made?

    Lexus said that the GX 460 Black Line Special Edition will only have a limited run of 3,000 units.
  • These changes include new colors added to the GX 460 palette (Eminent White Pearl replaces Starfire Pearl and Claret Mica is removed for 2023 models) and the addition of a resonating sound system (Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound Audio standard on Luxury grade).

    Nevertheless, Lexus’ luxury SUV still comes with familiar features such as standard four-wheel drive capability, Torsen torque-sensing limited-slip center differential, and a two-speed transfer case with low range.

    Also featured are driver-assist amenities like Downhill Assist Control (DAC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), and the optionally-available Crawl Control.

    Ride quality is sustained thanks to the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) which enhances handling and ride comfort by helping to keep the vehicle level in both on and off-road conditions.

    Power will come from a 301-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 that produces 446Nm of peak torque. Combine that with up to 6,500-lb. towing capacity, and you’ve got an ideal camper or boat hauler. Towing is aided with Trailer Sway Control, a function of the VSC that enhances straight-line tracking.

    The Lexus GX 460 also comes equipped with the Lexus Safety System+ which features Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Intelligent High Beams, High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Intuitive Parking Assist.

    Design-wise, the GX 460 reflects styling cues typical of muscular yet sophisticated Lexus SUVs. Notable exterior appointments include the Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps and the available 19-inch wheels.

    Inside, the Lexus GX 460 offers a highly connected and intuitive in-cabin experience, thanks to its 10.3-inch multimedia touchscreen that features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa with the latest smartphone vehicle integrations and their respective virtual assistants.

    Lexus also gives the GX 460 the Black Line treatment. A Black Line Special Edition variant will be made available for the 2023 model which will come standard with Premium grade features as well as a Panoramic View Monitor.

    A new Eminent White Pearl exterior paint is added to the color options that also include Obsidian and the Black Line-exclusive Nori Green Pearl. A darker finish can be found on the skid plate, fog lamp and grille, and clear taillamps with black inserts (also found on the sport design package). Black Line SE also includes unique 18-inch glossy black wheels. For the finishing touch, the roof spoiler and shark fin are now painted black.

    Its interior, on the other hand, boasts new Boulder Gray NuLuxe-trimmed seats with a black headliner, complemented by Gray stitching and Black Matte Ash Wood ornamentation that can be found on the steering wheel.

    The GX 460 Black Line Special Edition will only have a limited run of 3,000 units.

    The Lexus GX 460, as well as the limited-edition Black Line model, is expected to hit the US market in the final quarter of 2022.
