Overview

The 2013 Lexus GX 460 SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the BMW X5, the Audi Q7, and the Acura MDX. Spread across 2 trims, the 2013 Lexus GX 460 starts off at a base price of MSRP of $53,795 and carries on to $58,590. Its 4.6L V8 and a 6-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 301 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.2 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Lexus GX 460 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 17 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.1 inches.

Buying Advice

While the base trim is equipped well, we recommend upgrading to the premium trim for upgraded features such as adaptive variable suspension (with rear height control), auto-dimming side view mirrors, adaptive xenon headlights, leather upholstery, heated wooden steering wheel, heated second-row seats, and rear air conditioning.
