If you still mourn the loss of a standard V8 engine in the new Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus LX, the 2023 GX 460 is the next best thing. It has a muscular 4.6-liter V8 on top of a body-on-frame architecture, which means it has the heart and bones of a true-blue SUV. The cumbersome V8 and dated ladder-frame architecture bring handling and fuel economy demerits. Still, the 2023 Lexus GX 460 is a $65,000 luxury SUV, which means those penalties may not matter to the GX?s deep-pocketed clientele.

2023 Lexus GX 460: What?s New"

The new Lexus GX is still riding on the second-gen platform that debuted in 2010, but Lexus has kept it updated over the years to please the needs of modern-day consumers. For 2023, the GX has a new 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa connectivity, four USB ports, and a new Black Line Special Edition package first introduced in 2021. It has several bespoke features like custom 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels, a black roof spoiler, shark fin antenna, clear taillights, and a panoramic view monitor.
The Black Line SE is available on the range-topping Lexus GX Premium trim and is limited to just 3,000 units for North American buyers. The available paint colors include Eminent White Pearl (new for 2023), Obsidian, and Nori Green Pearl (exclusive to Black Line SE). Meanwhile, the Lexus GX Luxury trim has a standard Mark Levinson premium audio system and a new key.
