Overview

The 2016 Lexus GX460 is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Volvo XC90, the Acura MDX, and the Infiniti QX60. Spread across 2 trims, the Lexus GX460 starts off at a base price of MSRP $50,780 and carries on to $62,155. Its 4.6L V8 engine and 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 GX460 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.
