Lexus GX 470 2007

The GX 470 is Lexus’ third luxury SUV that joined the lineup for 2003. The GX 470 fits between the car-based RX 330 and the premium-luxury LX 470 in terms of size, price, and capability. The GX 470 is a full-capability SUV and offers available seating for up to eight passengers.

After minor interior updates for 2006, the 2007 Lexus GX 470 adds new enhancements including an upgraded optional Lexus Navigation System that features voice activation and enhanced display, standard input jack for iPOD and other digital music players and a larger nine-inch wide-format screen on the rear-seat entertainment system.

The GX is based on the Toyota 4Runner and combines comfort, luxury, and off-road capability. It is a bit smaller than the LX but also offers a third seat. The ride is comfortable and quiet, but it becomes unsettled. Cornering isn't very agile, but is ultimately secure.

The GX470 luxury SUV shares its body-on-frame platform with the Toyota 4Runner. It has three rows of seats, but the third row is tiny. Power comes from the same drivetrain found in the Lexus LX470, as do many of its luxury appointments. The refined 4.7-liter V8 provides smooth, responsive performance. The ride is comfortable and quiet but gets unsettled on uneven pavement. Cornering is less than agile, though ultimately secure. An optional active suspension dramatically reduces lean in corners. Interior fit and finish is impressive. Typical options push the price to the low-$50,000 range. The GX is very competent in off-road conditions.

City, highway or off-road, the 2007 GX 470 showcases its refined manners in any environment. Driven by a powerful 263 hp VVT-i V8 engine, the GX delivers smooth, quiet acceleration, exceptional towing capacity, and remarkable performance.

Elegant interiors noted for comfort and convenience, coupled with adaptive suspension, ensure a luxurious ride and responsive handling making the 2007 GX a standalone among premium SUVs.
