The 2025 Lexus GX550 is a mid-size luxury SUV that masterfully combines off-road ruggedness with premium comfort, appealing to adventurers and luxury seekers alike. It’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine, producing 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive. This setup achieves 0-60 mph in approximately 6.5 seconds, with an EPA-rated fuel economy of 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Built on the GA-F body-on-frame platform, the GX550 features a double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) on select trims, delivering a refined ride on pavement and robust capability off-road, enhanced by a locking center differential, low-range gearing, and an optional locking rear differential on Overtrail trims.
The exterior design is bold and boxy, featuring Lexus’ spindle grille, triple-beam LED headlights, and standard 20-inch alloy wheels (up to 22-inch on Luxury trims or 18-inch with 33-inch all-terrain tires on Overtrail models). Its rugged stance is accentuated by flared fenders and a power rear liftgate with a flip-down window, offering both style and utility. Inside, the GX550 boasts a driver-centric cockpit with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 14-inch touchscreen Lexus Interface, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Upholstery options range from NuLuxe synthetic leather to semi-aniline leather, with seating for up to seven (or six with optional second-row captain’s chairs). Cargo space starts at 40.2 cubic feet behind the second row (with the third row up in applicable trims), expanding to 76.9 cubic feet with seats folded, ideal for gear-heavy excursions.
