When you’re in the market for a midsize luxury SUV with an elegant design and rugged off-road capability, the 2020 Lexus GX is a good contender. With three trim levels, the GX, GX Premium, and GX Luxury, you’re sure to find the perfect Lexus to fit your budget and lifestyle! Here are several of the key features that make the 2020 Lexus GX so appealing.
Lexus Safety System
The Lexus Safety System comes standard with all Lexus vehicles and provides a suite of safety features. Included in the driver-assist features are the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and automatic brake assist that applies the brakes if it detects an imminent collision.
The lane-assist system gives an audible alert when it detects the car drifting into another lane, and paired with the all-speed dynamic radar cruise control, helps the car to remain centered in the correct lane. The road sign-assist sends information to the windshield with the heads-up display showing the speed limit and other important road signs that might get missed.
Powerful Performance
The 2020 Gx comes with a 4.6-liter V-8 engine that delivers 301 horsepower and an impressive 329 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission pairs with the engine, and the full-time four-wheel drive helps with traction on a variety of terrain. The powerhouse combination of the engine and transmission make it easy to tow up to 6,500 pounds.
Off-Road Capability
The 2020 GX drives and handles superbly on paved roads, but excels when taken off-road. The Off-Road Package, which is an available option for the higher trim levels, features Multi-Terrain Select allowing the driver to select different modes for different terrains. The Multi-Terrain Monitor works with the system to help the driver see what they are driving over or around, and even includes underneath the vehicle.
Lexus’s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System comes standard in all GX trim levels and adds an enhanced level of traction and stability for off-road driving. The 8.1-inches of ground clearance allows the driver to clear obstacles such as boulders, logs, and ruts.
Luxurious Interior
The interior of the 2020 GX is plush and roomy. The three-row seats can hold seven passengers, or with the Captain’s chair, there’s seating for six. When all three rows of seats are up, the GX has 11.6 cubic feet of cargo space; with the third-row seats folded down, there are 46.7 cubic feet of cargo space, and with the second and third-row seats folded, you’ll get an impressive 64.7 cubic feet of cargo space.
The infotainment system comes standard with an 8-inch touch screen, Amazon Alexa, Siri Eyes-Free, HD radio, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and a nine-speaker audio system. On the higher trim levels, there’s an option to have a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system as well as a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system.
With its beautiful and elegant design, host of safety features, and powerful off-road capability, the 2020 Lexus GX gives other mid-size SUVs a run for their money. To learn even more about the 2020 Lexus GX, schedule an appointment for a test drive with Fox Lexus of El Paso today!
