My perfect car Lexus gx 2017.

It is the luxury oriented, very nice car. No problems, the car is really comfortable. Great performance. Really reliability. I drive this car every day to work. I drive this car every day to drop in the children to school, or when I go for grocery shopping.

It has tons of safety features. Driver side and passenger side mirror indicators for traffic

It drives and rides very smooth. The perfect mid size suv. Very Reliable manufacturer. Customer service is excellent

Amanda N

Great luxury family car with helpful and easy to use features.

It is comfortable and nice to drive. It has great air conditioning, cooling seats, blind spot monitoring, parking assist, and large navigation display screen. It has plenty of room for driver and passengers with climate control for both. The only cons would be small trunk space when the third row is up and it does not have remote start.

My feedback on my Lexus gx.

What I love about Lexus is its technological features. Strong engine, reliable, high safety spec. Spacious, modern and fits my style. Economical with gas, fun to drive, appealing visually. Developed technically by all standards. And good value for money. The dealership where I bought my car from is highly professional and delivering quality of services.

Love my Lexus gx just needs a dash button for the fan speed.

I have t had any problems, the only thing that is annoying is not having a knob or button on the dash to easily turn down the air conditioning speed without having to access the screen. It is like it was forgotten. 3 places to change the radio but only one for fan speed. So weird. Otherwise I love it, great vehicle.

The Lexus IS very safe, gives a smooth ride. It is a luxury car and very spacious

I like my Lexus - it gives a smooth ride and has plenty of room

Finally found the perfect vehicle to handle chores and family.

This is a very underrated vehicle, it has the towing capability and off road prowess to tackle tough chores, but also has room for the whole family to ride very comfortably. I have yet to find a task that it does but handle well. The full time all wheel drive gives confidence on wet roads, and the v8 gives plenty of power when towing trailers. Lexus reliability is a big plus. Love this gx 460, will hand it down to my daughter one day.

Great reliable car for long road trips.

Great car with great mileage and great safety records. It is a perfect fit for a family with young kids. It has great entertainment features and perfect for long road trips. It has lane change and back camera that makes it easy for me to drive it. Great navigation system to help you.

A mid size SUV that needs a little tuning.

Overall the car handles well in all types of weather. It is full time four wheel drive which is great in performance and a disaster on fuel mileage. The fuel mileage is a huge downfall as I had an expedition prior to this that surpasses the fuel mileage. It does not give any trunk room if the third row seat is up. For being a mid size SUV another 6 inches would do the model good. The voice command stinks but the rest of the touch screen is fine.

Good car great features awesome drive

Car is good it gets the job done comfortable to drive and in great condition and good appliances and cool features to improve my driving experience every day. I recommend this car for anyone who wants to drive in style and comfort. This is a great car to invest in

Great quality car overall!!

My car is undeniably reliable and maintainable. My car is also really comfortable which I love. The features on my car are typical/ standard for the year. The performance on my car is amazing. It is a nice, quality car overall with a clean sleek look that I enjoy.

Great car, good drive, poor interior.

Very reliable and drives beautifully. Captain chairs in the second row is very comfortable. Storage in the back is plentiful if you put down the third row. Outdated control center. Looks like a car from early 2000s. No carplay, so useless navigation system. I always have issues connecting to the Bluetooth.

Lexus review: good performance but lacking good design.

The performance is excellent. However, the electronic controls are non-intuitive and difficult to use. I also find the interior to be cramped and not all that well designed. I am also not wild about the associated application that controls the vehicle (e.G. Turns it on) remotely.

Pros from Owners

Amanda N.

The pros of the Lexus gx 460 are the large navigation screen with easy to use apps, parking assist, blind spot monitoring, plenty of room for driver and passengers, great air conditioning system, and keyless entry and locking. It is also very comfortable and easy to drive.

Nishtha P.

It is smooth, great built and look and convenient drive. I like the blind spot monitors & the parking assist. The reverse/ back mirror is convenient & helpful. Stylish modern & great for any type of roads.

Cons from Owners

Amanda N.

A con of the Lexus gx 460 is the small amount of trunk space when the third row is up. It also does not have remote start or USB ports in the back two rows for passengers. It does not have an automatic door for the trunk.

Nishtha P.

Not great mileage, no enriching cargo space, 2nd row seats have little less space or little inconvenient for tall adults. Maintenance are costly for oil changes & regular check ups. Bulky so may need more space.
