GX460 “Lexus” can safely be called a contender for a leader in terms of passing city lanes and the real off-road. This car was created on the basis of such a well-known model as the Toyota Land Cruiser. But, in principle, observing the long-established traditions of competition, the Lexus stood one step higher than the machine with which it is constantly compared.
About the exterior
So, what can you say first thing about the GX460 Lexus? Firstly, the fact that this is a machine that is finally distinguished by its original design. The developers decided to abandon all the elements that had already become traditional in terms of style. Indeed, previous models were alike - and so for four years in a row. And finally, the GX460 Lexus came out! The updated front and rear parts, modified lights, completely different body lines, aerodynamic look - now it certainly will not be possible to compare it with Toyota.
Salon, interior and ergonomics
Of the innovations that have affected the interior, perhaps only cosmetic ones can be noted. You can see the new modern multimedia system, which is a very nice addition. It meets absolutely all the requirements and standards of 2014 (when this car was released). There is a wide 8-inch color display and additional USB connectors.
By the way, the developers decided to leave the salon practically unchanged - not a minus, but even a plus. It was possible to maintain all the best qualities of the model. And these include excellent sound insulation, comfort and spaciousness. Three main qualities that a potential buyer takes into account when choosing a car. All this is really top notch. Even when the car meets pits, potholes and potholes, all the noise is absorbed. In general, the car is comfortable. This is also facilitated by comfortable seats in which all passengers and, of course, the driver feel great.
About technical specifications
Perhaps this is the main part that relates to the Lexus GX460. The new car pleases potential buyers with its power. This model is equipped with an excellent gasoline 4.6-liter engine, which produces 296 “horses”. This power unit is controlled by a 6-speed automatic transmission. The GX460 Lexus can accelerate to a hundred kilometers in just over eight seconds. With all this, its weight is 2.5 tons!
This car has almost no buildup of the body, due to which handling is significantly improved. There are no banks, or rather, they are, however, due to stabilizers, they are instantly drowned out. But there are also disadvantages here. These include a certain lack of information for the steering wheel. But, however, the GX460 Lexus behaves both on the road and on the track is very predictable.
By the way, it is worth remembering one nuance. The Lexus GX460, whose reviews are mostly positive, is an SUV, and you should not forget about it. It has enough traction to cope with steep climbs, and high-quality foglights provide excellent visibility in rain and fog. The only difficulty that the model does not manage to do well is nimble maneuvers past small-sized objects. Better on the new “Lexus” to go straight on the stone, than trying to go around it.
Modifications
And finally, a few words about the cost. Brand new “Lexus” is offered in five versions. Comfort 5S is sold for almost three million rubles. Executive 5S - 3,146,000 rubles. Executive 7S - 3,283,000 rubles. And also Premium 7S with the Luxury 7S version - 3,430,000 and 3,541,000 rubles, respectively. All modifications differ from each other in configuration, interior design and some improvements. And so, in principle, they are all good in their own way.
