2014 Lexus GX 460 review: Lexus GX's update is only skin-deep - CNET
It's hard to talk about the 2014 Lexus GX 460 without drawing comparisons between it and its stablemate, the LX 570. The large, block-shaped SUVs appear similar in pictures, so its easy to assume that Lexus is overlapping itself. However, the GX 460 Luxury model that I tested feels like a better fit for the road. If you're looking to spend significant time off-road, it may be beneficial to look upmarket to the LX, but for the vast majority of luxury SUV drivers who occasionally need to haul or tow things and only need light, trail off-road capability, the... 6-liter V-8 engine Under the hood is Lexus' 4. 6-liter V-8 engine -- a workhorse, but not necessarily an impressive engine. As a result, the EPA estimated 15 city mpg, 20 highway mpg, and 17 combined mpg isn't much to brag about. I finished my week-long and highway-heavy testing cycle at an average of 16. 8 mpg, so at the very least Lexus' estimates are fairly spot on with what you can expect in the real world. Fuel goes in, power comes out, and the 2014 GX 460 outputs a stated 301 horsepower and 329 pound-feet of torque, which again isn't as impressive as it sounds when you consider that BMW and Acura state similar outputs with.
