Driven: 2022 Lexus GX 460 Is An Old-Schooler You Can Rely On | Carscoops carscoops
at the front is its most prominent feature. It flows backward from that point with hard angles and sharp design details that smooth out as they traverse the length of the body. The rear fenders for instance are much softer than the front end. Still, the back end isn’t totally devoid of rigid shapes. The rear window and tail lights do their best to bring the two ends of this SUV together.
That third row is tight for most adults. It’s even tighter when you also need to use some of that space for cargo. And that’s because with the third row up in the GX 460 there’s almost no room whatsoever behind it. We managed to stuff some bike wheels, a bike repair stand, and a few other miscellaneous tools in that space but nothing else. With all three rows in place, there are only 11.6 cubic feet of storage back there.
To our surprise, the V8 doesn’t feel nearly as old as those statistics might suggest. Around town and on the highway we found it to be very smooth, torque-rich, and rewarding. Punch it hard from a slower speed and it’ll take a healthy moment or two to downshift. Once it’s in the optimal gear it’s pretty fast for being so big. You can shortcut that system by moving the old-school gear lever into ‘Sport’ and downshifting before mashing the go pedal.
On top of that, steering input for an off-roader is met with intuitive responses from the front wheels. The accelerator and brake pedal likewise provide predictable and deft feedback and control. It’s not to say that these systems are perfect, but they provided a much better experience than we initially expected. Compared to similar vehicles in the same segment, the GX gives up very little in terms of its on-road experience and literally drives away from others on off-road trails.System+ suite.
