2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury SUV
MSRP: $64,265
MPG: 15 city / 19 highway
Horsepower: 301 hp @ 5,500 rpm
Towing capacity: 6,500 lbs
Engine: 4.6 L V8
Curb weight: 5,198 lbs
Tire size: P265/55R19
How does the new 2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury compare to my 2012 GX 460 Premium with 150,000 miles? I paid $25k for my GX two years ago (May 2018). At the time of filming it's probably worth about $19k, nearly a quarter of what this fully loaded 2020 GX 460 Luxury costs. Let's find out how they both drive.

I can see why they haven't made any major updates in 8-9 years. The 2012 GX premium is perfect in so many ways.

@enriqueamontero4695 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I know. But, I've read that Toyota/Lexus asks their engineering department to design things such as cup holders to hold up to 10-15 years. With that been said, I can see why they're always behind because of the time they take to develop and test something that will last that long. They don't care much about fuel economy but reliability is their goal. I see them as the CAT of gasoline vehicles. Definitely well worth it investment. Nowadays, almost every automaker designs vehicles to last a few years and then, makes more money on the repairs. I own a 2010 LX570 and I'm a mechanic that worked on Toyota and I just love my vehicle (I wish I could have gotten the 2014 or so facelift ). I cannot any happier with my purchase.

But it doesn't hurt to just add Apple carplay or Android Auto, at least keep up the basic modern technology. We all know why Lexus didn't redesign the interior. To add Apple carplay or Android Auto, they would have to replace the infotainment screen with a newer higher resolution screen that accommodates the smartphone. And if they had to do that, the whole dash would have to be redesigned. But the main reason why Lexus didn't redesign the 2020 model is because they didn;t plan to make the GX model any more so why bother spending $ on adding new features, right?

Great review! Recently bought the 2020 (love it) and happened to like that grill. It's more distinctive than the prior grill, which looks the same as a 4-Runner grill. That said, your 2012 is great looking, too and for the mileage it seems to be in great shape and still going strong. I agree on the 2020's tires and that's something I'll address when I get new tires. ML sound system is awesome, but you must upgrade to Luxury package before it's an option and didn't want to spend the extra $8k. May see if I can get it installed at some point.

I had its little brother the 2004 Lexus RX330. The 2nd generation Lexus RX is considered a compact crossover by today's standards. Doesn't sound as good as V8 but, still has a nice sound. Though it has a basic AM/FM, CD Cassette alphanumeric LCD infotainment system, the 215-watt stock pioneer sound system held up amazingly well and still sounds good. The MPG is really good for being a V6 SUV and I average 20.5 city and 26 Hwy If I do get another Lexus, I would get an ES350 F sport with a Mark Levinson sound system since I prefer sedans over SUVs.

How does the new 2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury compare to my 2012 GX 460 Premium with 150,000 miles? I paid $25k for my GX two years ago (May 2018). At the time of filming it's probably worth about $19k, nearly a quarter of what this fully loaded 2020 GX 460 Luxury costs. Let's find out how they both drive.

Brian Lee I don’t know if a 2020 model has it, probably not, but the 2012 doesn’t have an eco mode. Having an eco mode is like giving away one of your testicles. I’m not giving my balls to anyone for a measly 1-2 mpgs. Lol

@@kevintillack1396 We get the fully optioned 4 door Prado with a weird Lexus grille and call it a GX. When the market recovers, a bare-bones 3 door Prado would be an excellent replacement for the ill-fated FJ. My choice would be a 3 door with the 2.7 4 cylinder engine and a manual transmission.
