Reviews of Lexus GX 460 Are In After L.A. Auto Show

January 14, 2010 Featured No Comments

In the world of the Lexus SUV, the new GX 460 is the brute. Think of it as the strong, elder brother of the class—a vehicle that manages to emanate both power and finesse. And, like any Lexus, this one is loaded with all the luxury fineries and gadgets that make top-shelf automobiles worth the extra money.

Chicago Lexus GX dealers got their first intricate view of the 2010 version of this car at the L.A. Auto Show last month, and the reviews have come back pretty positive. It’s a near silent car, with interior noise reduced to almost nothing—no engine, no exhaust, no nothing. If only there a way for GX drivers with children to keep the backseat that quiet, Lexus would have the best-selling vehicle in the world.

Beyond the relative quiet, however, is the smooth drive. It steers like a dream, we’re told, and the wheel system allows for bumps and potholes in the road to glide unnoticeably underneath the girth of the vehicle. Off-road it works just well. That fine-tuned suspension allows for the GX 460 to cruise over even the nastiest of off-road conditions. It may look pretty, but like we said—it’s also go the brute strength necessary to operate in conditions beyond what the average driver needs.

It will be offered in two grades: a base model that comes in at just under $52,000 and a premium grade expected to go for $56,765. There’s plenty of value in both, as the base model still comes with a rear-view camera, ten airbags, XM and iPod accessibility, and heated seats. There’s a power-fold third row seat as well, and a decent sized LCD display in the dash and a sunroof to boot. The upgrades for the premium version include leather interior, heated wood steering wheel, heated second row seats, adaptive variable suspension, and color keyed body side molding. Those looking for a great Lexus, Geneva dealers are about to have the perfect SUV.

In Chicago, used Lexus dealerships are going to get a break as buyers rush to jump on the new GX 460. It does so much so well, that it’s hard to blame them.

    We bought our first Lexus, our 9th new car, in September, 2003. We had the best car buying experience in our 37 years of purchasing a new model with the color and options we wanted.

    Woodfield Lexus was very straightfoward, courteous, helpful, respectful, and professional. This was by far the best experience my wife and I have had when buying a 'new to us' certified pre-owned vehicle. Sales staff, finance dept, and sales delivery associate are top notch. Thank you for a very pleasant buying experience. […]
