The 2024 GX ranges in price from $64,250 for the base Premium trim to $81,250 for the flagship Luxury+.
After nearly 15 years, Lexus finally decided to give us a new GX, and after over half a year since its unveiling, they’ve finally added the official configurator to their website. The configurator, which can be found here: offers buyers a choice between three different trims — Premium, Luxury, and Overtrail — each with its own upgraded “+” subtrim (Premium+, Luxury+, and Overtrail+).
The cheapest way to get into a new GX 550 is with the Premium trim, which starts at $64,250. This is followed by the Premium+ and Overtrail, which both start $69,250, then the Luxury and Overtrail+, which both start at $77,250. The most expensive GX trim is the Luxury+, which starts at $81,250. All GX 550 trims come equipped with the same twin-turbocharged V6 making 349 hp (354 PS / 260 kW) and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) of torque.

From the Premium trim, Premium+ adds various amenities such as Lexus‘s Panoramic View Monitor, a tailgate kick sensor, LED fog lights, and heated second-row seats. On top of that, the Luxury trim adds 22-inch alloy wheels, semi-aniline leather upholstery, a 10-way-adjustable power driver’s seat, and front massaging seats. Similarly, the Luxury+ takes it a step further, adding a 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, Adaptive Variable Suspension, and a digital rearview mirror.
As for why one might pick the Overtrail or Overtrail+ over its equally priced Premium or Luxury counterpart, the all-new trim offers a handful of features that make the SUV more off-road focused than the rest of the GX 550 lineup.

The base Overtrail gets more rugged looks with new wheels and beefy 33-inch off-road tires, as well as a locking rear differential and the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) from the Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport. Other exclusive features come in the form of Overtrail-specific color options, such as the Earth exterior color, Olive Ultrasuede and Chateau NuLuxe interior upholstery, and the option of two-tone paint finishes for all colors except black and white. Upgrade to the Overtrail+, and you also get additional driver aids, a tailgate kick sensor, and massaging front seats.
With that being said, it’s worth mentioning that all these goodies come at the expense of a third row. As it would turn out, the same off-road features that make it so good on trails also eat into the cargo area, leaving no room for the fold-out seats in the trunk offered on the Premium, Premium+, Luxury, and Luxury+ trims. So unfortunately, you can have either the added off-road capability or a third row of seats, but not both.
