2011 Lexus GX460 Review - Digitaltrends.com
But the Lexus GX460 is easily one of the best full-size, full-power people movers around, and only has to contend with the Infiniti QX56. We only wish the styling was a little more elegant and the price a little less, on this upscale SUV. The first impression we had when the GX 460 arrived for a week of testing was: Who brought us a Ford Explorer. No ding against the Dearborn automaker, especially since you can pick up a 2012 model for just $28,000, but the Lexus GX 460 is not exactly a stunner. There’s a bit of chunkiness to the exterior without the sleekness we love about the Lexus brand. The QX56 we drove last spring was chunkier than the GX 460, but then that vehicle (which we will test soon in the 2012 version) was a top pick. Engine and handling Under the hood, Lexus has equipped the GX 460 with a powerful 4. 6-liter, 301-horsepower, 32-valve V8 engine that is just begging to plow through snow. Unfortunately, even in mid-December, our testing areas is still blanketed in dead grass, but we did manage to find a dirt road to test out the full-time 4WD, which is designed to avoid slippage on many different kinds of road conditions. Like the Grand Cherokee, the GX. Source: www.digitaltrends.com
