2027 Lexus GX: Luxury Meets Serious Off-Road Capability

The 2027 Lexus GX returns with the rugged capability, body-on-frame construction and refined luxury that have made the current-generation GX one of the most distinctive SUVs in the Lexus lineup. For 2027, Lexus largely carries the GX over from the previous model year while adding several convenience and comfort upgrades across its six available grades.

The 2027 GX continues to offer a 349-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6, standard full-time four-wheel drive, available serious off-road equipment and towing capacity of up to 9,096 pounds, while adding new standard features for select models.

Drivers in Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Martinez and throughout Contra Costa County can also explore the current Lexus GX at Lexus of Concord while awaiting the arrival of 2027 models.

What’s New on the 2027 Lexus GX?

Rather than completely redesigning the GX, Lexus has focused on improving convenience and passenger comfort for 2027.

Among the key changes:

• SmartAccess entry for all four doors and the tailgate is now standard across every GX grade
• Luxury, Luxury+ and Overtrail+ models now receive ventilated rear outboard seats as standard equipment
• Six GX 550 grades continue for 2027
• The 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 returns with 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque
• Full-time four-wheel drive remains standard
• Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 remains standard
• Starting MSRP is $69,085 including the Delivery, Processing and Handling fee

For customers who already like the current GX formula, Lexus has essentially refined it rather than reinventing it.

2027 Lexus GX Pricing and Grade Lineup

The 2027 Lexus GX is available in six grades, ranging from the GX 550 Premium to the adventure-focused GX 550 Overtrail+.

Model Code	2027 Lexus GX Grade	Starting MSRP Including DPH
9701	GX 550 Premium	$69,085
9702	GX 550 Premium+	$73,400
9703	GX 550 Luxury	$81,600
9704	GX 550 Luxury+	$85,600
9705	GX 550 Overtrail	$76,730
9706	GX 550 Overtrail+	$85,010

Lexus states that these prices include a $1,550 Delivery, Processing and Handling fee, which is subject to change. Dealer pricing, options, taxes, registration and other charges may vary.

349-Horsepower Twin-Turbo V6 Comes Standard

Every 2027 Lexus GX is powered by a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission.

The powertrain produces:

349 horsepower

479 lb-ft of torque

Unlike many luxury SUVs that offer several different powertrains depending on grade, every GX 550 receives the same powerful twin-turbo V6.

That means buyers can choose their GX primarily based on luxury features, passenger configuration and off-road capability rather than having to move up through the lineup simply to obtain the more powerful engine.

How Much Can the 2027 Lexus GX Tow?

The GX remains an especially compelling choice for drivers who need substantial towing capacity.

Depending on grade, maximum towing capacity reaches:

GX 550 Premium: Up to 9,063 lbs.

GX 550 Premium+: Up to 9,063 lbs.

GX 550 Overtrail: Up to 9,096 lbs.

GX 550 Overtrail+: Up to 9,063 lbs.

The GX 550 Overtrail leads the lineup with a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,096 pounds when properly equipped.

That capability makes the GX suitable for customers who may want to tow recreational equipment, trailers or other gear while retaining the comfort of a Lexus luxury SUV.

Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive Is Standard

Every 2027 Lexus GX includes full-time four-wheel drive.

A Torsen® limited-slip locking center differential is also standard across the lineup. Under normal conditions, the system distributes power between the front and rear axles while helping the GX respond to changing traction conditions.

For more demanding off-road driving, the GX includes a low-range four-wheel-drive setting.

This is an important distinction between the GX and many luxury crossovers. The GX uses a body-on-frame GA-F platform designed to handle the stresses associated with serious off-road driving.

2027 Lexus GX Overtrail and Overtrail+

For customers who plan to take their GX well beyond pavement, the Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades add a collection of specialized off-road equipment.

Both Overtrail models receive a one-inch suspension lift, giving them a minimum running ground clearance of approximately 9.84 inches.

They also feature an electronically controlled locking rear differential, which can help send power evenly between the two rear wheels when additional traction is needed.

Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System

The GX Overtrail and Overtrail+ also receive Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, or E-KDSS.

The system can independently lock or unlock the front and rear stabilizer bars depending on the driving situation.

On pavement, the system can help provide greater stability.

During off-road driving, increased suspension articulation can help the wheels maintain contact with uneven terrain.

Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control

The GX also provides technology specifically designed for off-road conditions.

Multi-Terrain Select allows the driver to tailor vehicle operation to different surfaces.

In low-range four-wheel drive, available settings include:

• Auto
• Sand
• Mud
• Rock

In high-range four-wheel drive, the system includes:

• Auto
• Dirt
• Sand
• Mud
• Deep Snow

Crawl Control can manage engine output and braking at one of five driver-selected low-speed settings, allowing the driver to concentrate more heavily on steering through difficult terrain.

See What’s Around—and Under—the GX

When Multi-Terrain Select is active, the GX can use its Multi-Terrain Monitor to give the driver additional visibility around the vehicle.

Four cameras associated with the Panoramic View Monitor can display front, side, rear and underfloor views on the GX’s 14-inch touchscreen.

For trail driving, that can help a driver identify obstacles or terrain that might otherwise be difficult to see from the driver’s seat.

Rugged Exterior Design

The current-generation GX represents a significant visual departure from earlier generations.

Its squared-off profile, pronounced fender flares and horizontal body lines emphasize the SUV’s body-on-frame construction and off-road purpose.

Triple-Beam LED headlamps are standard, and the rear features Lexus’ signature unified L-shaped light bar.

The GX also includes a power rear liftgate with a separately opening rear glass window, allowing smaller items to be loaded without opening the entire liftgate.

2027 Lexus GX Exterior Colors

Available exterior colors vary by grade and include:

• Eminent White Pearl
• Nebula Gray Pearl
• Atomic Silver
• Incognito
• Caviar
• Nori Green Pearl
• Nightfall Mica

Overtrail and Overtrail+ models can also be configured with distinctive two-tone combinations featuring a Black roof.

Choices include:

• Atomic Silver / Black Roof
• Incognito / Black Roof
• Nori Green Pearl / Black Roof
• Earth / Black Roof

A Luxury Interior Built for Long Trips

Despite its rugged exterior, the GX remains very much a Lexus inside.

The dashboard is built around a horizontal layout intended to improve outward visibility while placing essential controls within easy reach of the driver.

Every GX includes a 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen along with a 12.3-inch digital Multi-Information Display.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility are also standard.

Importantly, Lexus has retained physical controls for commonly used functions such as audio volume and climate control.

Seating for Up to Seven

Premium, Premium+, Luxury and Luxury+ grades can accommodate up to seven passengers.

Depending on configuration, the second row can feature either a split-folding bench seat or captain’s chairs.

Overtrail models are configured around a five-passenger layout, allowing those grades to concentrate more heavily on cargo space and off-road use.

New Ventilated Rear Seats for 2027

One of the more practical 2027 upgrades is coming to the second row.

The Luxury, Luxury+ and Overtrail+ grades now include ventilated rear outboard seats as standard equipment.

Heated and ventilated front seats are already standard across the GX lineup.

For California drivers, adding ventilation to the rear seats can be a particularly welcome feature during warmer months.

Lexus GX Interior Colors

Depending on grade, GX interiors are available with NuLuxe® or semi-aniline leather upholstery.

Color combinations include:

• Black
• Dapple Gray
• Saddle Tan

Overtrail models offer distinctive combinations that include Black or Chateau NuLuxe upholstery with Olive Ultrasuede® accents.

Technology Throughout the Cabin

The GX provides multiple charging and connectivity options throughout its interior.

Available equipment includes:

• Up to six illuminated charging ports
• Wireless device charging
• Head-Up Display
• Digital Key
• SmartAccess Card Key
• Cool Box
• 120V AC inverter
• Prewired auxiliary switches
• Available 21-speaker Mark Levinson® Surround Sound

A 10-speaker Lexus Premium Sound System is standard.

Lexus Safety System+ 3.0

Every 2027 GX includes Lexus Safety System+ 3.0.

The suite includes technologies such as:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Lane Tracing Assist
• Road Sign Assist
• Automatic High Beams
• Proactive Driving Assist

Available Traffic Jam Assist can provide additional assistance during certain low-speed highway driving conditions when applicable system requirements are met.

Driver-assistance systems are designed to supplement attentive driving and do not replace driver responsibility.

2027 Lexus GX Premium vs. Overtrail: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between the traditional GX grades and the Overtrail models largely depends on how you plan to use the vehicle.

The GX Premium and Premium+ provide three-row capability, strong towing capacity and the same 349-horsepower V6 found throughout the lineup.

The GX Luxury and Luxury+ add higher-end interior appointments and additional comfort and convenience features.

The GX Overtrail and Overtrail+ prioritize outdoor and off-road capability with equipment such as:

• One-inch suspension lift
• 9.84 inches of minimum running ground clearance
• E-KDSS
• Electronic locking rear differential
• Multi-Terrain Select
• Off-road-focused wheel and tire combination
• Five-passenger seating configuration

Someone who primarily wants a luxury three-row SUV may gravitate toward Premium or Luxury grades.

A driver who regularly explores trails, camping destinations or more challenging terrain may find the Overtrail models particularly appealing.

2027 Lexus GX vs. 2026 Lexus GX: What’s Different?

Because Lexus describes the 2027 GX as largely carrying over from the previous model year, current GX shoppers shouldn’t expect a completely redesigned vehicle.

The major 2027 changes center on convenience and comfort.

2027 improvements include:

SmartAccess for all four doors and the tailgate becoming standard across the lineup.

Ventilated rear outboard seats becoming standard on Luxury, Luxury+ and Overtrail+ grades.

Updated model-year pricing.

The core engine, platform, drivetrain and overall design remain familiar from the current-generation GX.

Customers considering a GX now can compare the upcoming model with the current Lexus GX lineup at Lexus of Concord.

Should You Wait for a 2027 GX?

That depends primarily on your timing and which features matter to you.

Current GX models already share the core characteristics that define the 2027 model, including the 349-horsepower twin-turbo V6, full-time four-wheel drive, available Overtrail equipment and the current-generation exterior and interior design.

If you need a vehicle now or find a current GX in the grade, exterior color and configuration you want, you can browse new Lexus inventory at Lexus of Concord.

If one of the new 2027 convenience features is especially important to you, it may make sense to follow availability as the new model year approaches.
