2012 Lexus GX Review
Overview
Among seven-passenger utility vehicles there are those designed primarily for on-road and those for off-road. Seldom is there one engineered specifically to excel on both—until now. The 2012 Lexus GX. The GX460 is filled with answers. To name a few: a suspension system that helps enhance your capability on- and off-road among the tightest turning circles in its class and an engine that’s more powerful and fuel-efficient than ever before with the 301-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine. The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System is the best for both on and off road worlds. Remarkably spacious with a host of accommodations you’ll be hard-pressed to find a finer home away from home. The available dual-screen Rear-Seat Entertainment System in the GX enables two video sources to be viewed at the same time. The GX is loaded with technology to help you see more and react faster to potentially avoid a collision. And if one is unavoidable you can be assured that we’ve planned for that too. The GX is equipped with 10 airbags—more than any vehicle in its class. The 2012 Lexus GX IT’S MORE THAN A VEHICLE. IT’S A SOLUTION.
