2006 Lexus GX SUV

Lexus' newest SUV is based on the 4Runner platform, yet offers a more sophisticated suspension, a useful voice-activated navigation system and a wealth of Lexus luxury. Though capable of seating eight, we think this SUV is best suited to those who need seating for four with plentiful cargo space behind the second-row. The GX 470 is a step above the smaller RX 330, yet it offers the off-road ability of the big LX 470 without the big price tag. If you're looking for a Lexus to tackle serious deep snow, mud and off-road obstacles, this is the one to buy.
