The new 2014 Lexus GX 460 may come with no big transformation since the last year model has been through an overhaul. But it is still highly recommended for you who genuinely seek modern and luxurious SUV that has all the power and function as passenger-focused car. Though it will not come in different profile, we could still get many updates made by the company for the SUV’s 2014 model year. It is included new gadgets and more luxury. Don’t forget about that Lexus’ typical “spindle grille” that always been boasted by the company for all the line ups.
Exterior
2014 Lexus GX 460 is just given minor updates in some its elements with no significance change in profile. Therefore, we still can find that miss-matched hourglass fangs to Lexus’ two-box outline bruise and simple painting with less graft than other SUVs in the market, the classy profile that could always support its ability to crawl the rock.
Interior
In the cabin, some updates are given to bring you to the highest level of prestige. You will get Bluetooth and new navigation system, new technology features included 180 degree camera to see each way at a blind intersection to support the power-assist of the middle-row seats. If you still want more than Lexus GX’s standard options in your cabin, you could order for extra options included rear seat entertainment system, radar-adaptive cruise control, and 19speaker Mark Levinson audio system. Starting from this year’s model, you could control your Facebook and your Pandora mobile phone through its audio system. Moreover, African Bubinga wood trim, custom wheels and heated and ventilated seats are also available. 2014 Lexus GX 460 claims to be able to bring seven passengers at once, while some people agree that it feels little cramped when more than four adults are sitting in the cabin. it has nice but quite too high front seats, while the second row could give you amazing space for your leg and cargo if it is flipped. Too bad, the third seats could not be removed. If you want more cargo space—bigger space actually could be acquired if it could be removed—it should be flipped up and rotated to the side.
Engine
2014 GX 460’s engine is as strong as all SUVs should have. It shares the same powertrain as Toyota Land Cruiser, a 5.7 L V8 engine that propels 383 hp and matched with six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel-drive system. 2014 Lexus GX 460 is more like the off-road car than a family SUV. The maneuver is considered hard, the size and weight are considered not friendly for winding roads and city driving though it has no problem while driven in the highways or straight lines. But unfortunately this car is slower than 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA 45 AMG.
