The allure of sumptuous, massaging seats paired with opulent Lexus-style touches elevates the interior to a realm of luxury, affirming the accolades surrounding this exceptional vehicle. Offering flexibility, the GX550 presents the choice between second-row captain's chairs or a standard bench configuration, while accommodating third-row seating as standard.

With a diverse lineup of six distinct model options ranging from Premium to Overtrail+, the 2024 GX opens doors to personalized luxury experiences, with pricing starting at a competitive $64,250.

As highlighted in a recent Car and Driver assessment, the fresh iteration of the GX550 marks a significant departure from its outdated predecessor, with its rugged aesthetic serving as the sole link to its heritage. Embracing a bold and boxy design reminiscent of the Land Cruiser lineage, the 2024 GX550 exudes a timeless appeal that hints at enduring style-a crucial attribute considering the model's historically protracted lifecycles.

Sharing the robust body-on-frame platform with esteemed siblings like the Toyota Sequoia and Tundra, this latest offering introduces a dynamic twin-turbo V-6 powertrain, available with or without hybrid enhancements, a notable shift from the V-8 engine found in its predecessor.

Positioned within the Lexus SUV range, the GX550 occupies a niche between the opulent LX flagship off-roader and the TX SUV, offering a balance of size and focus on interior space and on-road refinement that distinguishes it within the lineup.

"Live Up to It" Campaign

As per PR Newswire, Cynthia Tenhouse, the vice president of Lexus marketing, conveyed that for over two decades, the GX has illustrated that the balance between sophisticated luxury and undeniable capability is achievable. The mantra of 'Live Up to It' serves as an inspiration for GX drivers to stand firm against compromise, wholeheartedly embrace their passions, and venture into realms of the extraordinary.

The launch of the campaign introduces six fresh broadcast commercials featuring a variety of creative approaches that are broad in scope, diverse, and precisely tailored to showcase distinct interpretations of the "Live Up to It" concept.
