I'm not familiar with Tommy from TFL so I'll want to take a look. I don't even drive a car; not for the last 10 years since I moved from the US to South America I don't require one.

Sofyan is clearly a pro. Doing a review like this with so many distractions, without notes and keeping it focused is amazing. Props to the cameraman as well. Great job getting the angles and working around so many people in and outside the vehicle!
For real - this fellow has his presentation skills down to a T. I love watching people like him when they are in their element and all cylinders are firing. I cannot imagine the amount of potential disruptions that were happening around him while they were capturing this but he executed flawlessly.
@@timsouttahere I mean, I don’t think they’re rude. They have as much right as redline to be looking and browsing while filming. It would be entitled to be thinking no one else is allowed to check the car out while a stranger is filming. Just….that Asian guy was weird though 😂
@@Natethegreat200c I cant kill my 2012 GX460 with 350k miles. Only had to replace shocks. I'm sure the Toyota engineers did their homework on this new GX. Every Toyota and Lexus Ive owned I bought new and they make it to 10 years 250k miles with ease
Mercedes/BMW OEM car parts are imported from Germany,sent to New Jersey n then shipped out meaning expensive parts n labor therefore cost of ownership after warranty expires is insane 😂
Absolutely agree with you, sir. In my eyes luxury is leather, wood, stitching, and overall great fit and finish. But nowadays luxury is 30” display and a ton of random electronic gimmicks.
Kudos to you sir for maintaining consummate professionalism amid hovering hood hawks who couldn’t grace you with a mere ten minutes while enjoying the show. Another spectacular video!
😂😅 the guy in the beginning walking back in forth behind you had me laughing I didn’t expect to see him again and then boom you lower the third row and he’s sitting up front passenger side acting like he’s startled making hilarious faces ! I can’t EVEN 😅😂🤣🥹
Sadly I agree with the statement "Sadly the V8 is gone"!! Just ended a cross country cruise in my V8 GX460, what an amazing vehicle, got an average of 21,9 MPG ( a lot of 80 plus MPH). Last year I did a similar trip in my 2022 Tundra 1794 with twin turbo V6, it never cracked the 17 MPG. Still love the power, but don't fool yourself and believe you'll get great MPG with the twin turbo.
I’m the millioned subscriber! Great video guys, I thought I had you already subscribed but didn’t so here it is. And congrats on the million subscribers!
Media should be considerate of media. I can see general attendees being in the way but if your a peer then be patient and let Sofyan do his thing! Great review.
Luxury+ fully loaded, captains chairs riding in 18s with AT tires is a perfect balance of lux and off road. Rear locker only sacrifice but not deal breaker since it can be simulated by this trim.
yeah especially when the new TX is bigger in every dimension compared to the LX besides height, that's why its considered midsized on the outside, but it has a full size interior
I love the new GX, especially in overtail trim. I think it looks awesome, I’m ok with the interior not having wood, I wish it did but I know the quality would be awesome, I hope you can get the massaging seats on the overtrail+ trim
I'll keep my GX 460 with the V8 and no turbochargers or hybrid thanks. Who needs the complexity and maintenance problems of all that stuff for a very slight improvement in mpg? Certainly not those in the boondocks or deserts of the world.
Its a Prado from the Land Cruiser family, dont insult it by saying its like a G wagon. G Wagon could only dream of the goodwill and loyalty these vehicles have across the entire planet.
Unlike most Toyota dealerships who have been adding ridiculous markups for most of their new inventory within the last three years, most Lexus dealerships have been charging just MSRP for almost all of their models within the same time frame. My three local Lexus dealerships will be charging MSRP for the GX550.
YEEEEEES! There's my panoramic roof I love the frosting feature especially being here in Florida. This is definitely my number 1 choice to replace my 2008 FJ Crusier, what a worthy upgrade to my beloved Cruiser. Can't wait to see this thing in person.
Even as a GX 460 owner I do make the comparison and parallel to the G-class but I would never go as far as to say it isn't built to last. After all the G-wagon hasn't changed much since 1977 which I would say makes it extremely forward thinking by comparison with the Land cruiser which has changed many times since 1977. Infact the Prado didn't even exist. I always respect the Mercedes. It's a different breed in the same class
It must be challenging to record a video while everyone is trying to view the car. Public first impression videos must be a pain in the ass😂 I imagine early in the TH-cam car review industry, TH-cam content creators were probably viewed as a nuisance in the car world. 😂 Much respect for making the content.
It is 20% more efficient, however, nobody talks about premium fuel costing 20% more. Saving for consumers is zero dollars at the end, and more prone to break
wow love the in-depth video great job my brother! i currently own a 2021 gx and hate my barn door also the space when third row is up there is virtually no space this new gx has much more space with the third row up an it can fit my stroller lol cant wait to trade my in only negative is the v8 we lost
That price I expect better front grill with all glossy black night package all around. Inside the dash needs to be more leather than plastic materials. Also need a glossy black rims. Get a night package with this and I am sold.
I just said the same thing before reading down. I also mentioned that this is auto show entry, and I hope Lexus has more variety on their options list.
With the EPA getting stricter, Congress, whatever federal regulations gettin more strict as years go by, new laws, etc., a V8 is likely too troublesome for Toyota in the US Lookin around, I think the gov wants vehicles to have 161 g CO2/mi by 2026, so as the years go by, and likely beyond 2026, it could get more strict 🤷♂️ so ppl gotta get used to them v6s and 4 cylinders, or electric on new vehicles, or keep their v8 vehicles they have A souped up vehicle like a SRT hellcat with the supercharged v8 as an example, i think the owners can meet emissions, but may gotta pay compliance fines in strict smog states, not sure and dodge AFAIK I think will discontinued their supercharged v8 engines in dec 2023 due to strict fed emissions and regs, them v8s are phasing out for most manufacturers, so for srt hellcats as an example, either v6s or most likely electric i would imagine, or they could just keep rollin with v8s for 1 more year and pass the gas guzzler tax onto the consumer, not sure 🤔 the manufacturer could get fined, sued i would imagine, or in some years if they kept the V8s, and gas guzzler tax for hardcore engines is like $2.1k, so Toyota definitely ain’t doing that in the US 😂 they Japanese 🇯🇵 🇯🇵
Well, it all depends, do you want a V8 (2023) or twin-turbo V6 (2024)? Otherwise, wait for the hybrid, which should have at least three electric motors. LOL

So your assuming this will be as reliable huh?

@@Noypi54494dont kill it. Give it to me lol
They really nailed the exterior styling! Still elegant but the boxy shape gives it a somewhat rugged aesthetic.
Ugly..
A genuine rival to the G class me thinks..plus actual reliability..love the boxy shape..bring back boxy car manufacturers!
The G isn’t reliable? Plenty of older ones on the road.
Mercedes has serious reliability issues
@@mikelang8753 You have the data to prove that or that the G itself is unreliable?

i would choose lexus over Mercedes anyday lexus really outdid themselves with this design
5:34 bro got hit with that jumpscare
2024 GX is built from ground up and only get 1mpg better than the old V8. Might as well keep the proven v8. lol
The hybrid will be very interesting.
What an amazing to the point no nonsense presentation.. hats off to your fluidity..!! Good job!
Mike totally photobombing the intro. lol 🤣
Great seeing you at the show!
The perfect combination of cameraman and anchor, one shot to the end,Awesome！！！！！！！！！！
this is the perfect car for people who wanted a Land Rover but don't want to pay the price tag just to have it in the shop every other week.
Looks WAY better than land rover
Range Rover looks great but the other LRs look mid
2024 GX has better build quality than the LRs too
@@danielmiller9012build quality maybe but the in terms of luxury no.
I guess I am old school I would like to see more wood and higher end finishes

Sure. Me too
That man in the black jacket the background was looking at his next purchase…😂😂😂😂 he’s been in the video from beginning to end
The impossible has happened. A bigger screen that doesn't look like it's tacked on and more integrated into the console. Well done.
How does he just talk so effortlessly w/o any cuts or rehearsals while people are wallking around
Amazing presentation, thanks for showing us the new Lexus GX!
My guy you’re a pro with that pigeon hovering around you like crazy
Sadly I agree with the statement "Sadly the V8 is gone"!!
Just ended a cross country cruise in my V8 GX460, what an amazing vehicle, got an average of 21,9 MPG ( a lot of 80 plus MPH).

Still love the power, but don't fool yourself and believe you'll get great MPG with the twin turbo.
Exactly. I may be wrong but the TTv6 won’t have the long term reliability of the V8 imho.
I would rather have the v8 all day.
Because turbos have to work an they have instant torque when you light on the pedal which makes you accelerate fast
About time and I love the new GX and it's so nice and luxurious 😍🔥
Let's get Sofyan to a million subscribers already...best review channel on TH-cam by far.
Tell all your friends.
I love this guy, he's the best presenter in the business. And the white looks so so good!

I love 3rd rows on a car with offroad capacity 💯
Keep up the good work. It is HARD to do one long take perfectly like that
Luxury+ fully loaded, captains chairs riding in 18s with AT tires is a perfect balance of lux and off road. Rear locker only sacrifice but not deal breaker since it can be simulated by this trim.
It’s not really looking impressive at a glance but seeing the interior so cute scores more points, it’s simply luxurious.❤
Lol, that guy that was in some of the shots were some of the highlights of this video!! Great job Sofyan!!!
I’ve owned a GX460 and a G63. They could not be further apart in every way.
How
Man I need to get the hybrid version AS SOON as its out!! What a beast!!
This new Lexus GX looks amazing unlike the old Lexus GX which looked really old school.
The old GX was a rebadged Toyota Prado
First time I’ve seen a plus trim filmed. I’m sold on the pano roof and digital rear view mirror.
After doing such a good job on the GX the LX styling takes a more discerning eye to spot why it still sits at the top of the line-up.
yeah especially when the new TX is bigger in every dimension compared to the LX besides height, that's why its considered midsized on the outside, but it has a full size interior
Idk how i feel about that twin turbo v6 compared to the NA v8...
One of the best looking new SUV in my opinion
Wow, it’s got the aerodynamics of a brick wall. To be fair, it does look like an outhouse.
When is it coming out. I checked with a couple of dealerships and got no response and no estimated delivery date
I love the new GX, especially in overtail trim. I think it looks awesome, I’m ok with the interior not having wood, I wish it did but I know the quality would be awesome, I hope you can get the massaging seats on the overtrail+ trim
this thing is so badass...i absolutely love it
Love that interior red leather seats and door trim will pop
I'll keep my GX 460 with the V8 and no turbochargers or hybrid thanks. Who needs the complexity and maintenance problems of all that stuff for a very slight improvement in mpg? Certainly not those in the boondocks or deserts of the world.
Lexus is going to sell a ton of these. My local dealer has 87 people on the waiting list for it.
😲 I'm late to the party!
Its a Prado from the Land Cruiser family, dont insult it by saying its like a G wagon.
G Wagon could only dream of the goodwill and loyalty these vehicles have across the entire planet.
Must be so annoying try to film with all of the nobodies getting in the way
Dealer markups will be beyond crazy for this car.
yep. just gotta find one that'll honor not doing markups, they're out there
My local one doesn’t do dealer markups of any kind
Unlike most Toyota dealerships who have been adding ridiculous markups for most of their new inventory within the last three years, most Lexus dealerships have been charging just MSRP for almost all of their models within the same time frame. My three local Lexus dealerships will be charging MSRP for the GX550.
Why?? Its just a GX... If people pay markup for this they deserve to get screwed 😂😂😂😂
Yup, with the dealer markup and add-on Bs will be 90k to 100k.
*Lexus GX is always the answer... great review* ❤
YEEEEEES! There's my panoramic roof I love the frosting feature especially being here in Florida. This is definitely my number 1 choice to replace my 2008 FJ Crusier, what a worthy upgrade to my beloved Cruiser. Can't wait to see this thing in person.

This will do well for Lexus
Don't love that it doesn't have an actual functional moon roof.
best car reviewer in the business
I literally told my wife the title when they announced the car haha; "It's a reliable G-Wagon, so you should get it in a couple years"
why that asian fool keep lurking in the background? let the man film his video for the people.
Great review! A lot of interior plastic for luxury +... Great looking exterior!
“ finally got rid of that thirsty v8” and now 1mpg better , ok !!!
This wants to be a Defender so bad! All the way down to the built in cooler. It’s not bad looking though. Best looking Lexus SUV on sale
Love your reviews.
WOAH! I wish I could trade my ‘18 gx460 for that! Also the Tx is nice!
A reliable G-Wagon? Sign me up!
I will be planning on getting one of these. Seems like a very good choice. I like the 4 cylinder engine for MPG. Great review as well.
Ok bro.
Man...wished they would have shortened the front overhang about 4-6 inches more. Would be perfect.
I get some lr3 / lr4 vibes from this and I like it
The engine is going to be big caveat on longevity.... at least it doesn't have hybrid.
Lexus....did it right.👋👍
It is 20% more efficient, however, nobody talks about premium fuel costing 20% more. Saving for consumers is zero dollars at the end, and more prone to break
With the v8 you can get away with using 87 octane. But with v6 TT you MUST use premium
@10:04 this guy has no chill but bravo for continuing unbothered
It’s ridiculous that Lexus doesn’t offer the rearview camera mirror in the Overland +
Great review!
Gorgeous
How do you access the third row if you have multiple car seats installed?
Great review, wow! What a nice car, this will sell!!!!
This truck is Amazing!❤
I really hope the hybrid makes the MPG much more reasonable because otherwise no matter how great it is 17 MPG is terrible enough to steer clear.
I got to see this in person a month or so ago at my Lexus dealer. Not sure I want to trade my 22 GX for one of these.
wow love the in-depth video great job my brother! i currently own a 2021 gx and hate my barn door also the space when third row is up there is virtually no space this new gx has much more space with the third row up an it can fit my stroller lol cant wait to trade my in only negative is the v8 we lost
So having a non opening moonroof is the new luxury lol
That price I expect better front grill with all glossy black night package all around. Inside the dash needs to be more leather than plastic materials. Also need a glossy black rims. Get a night package with this and I am sold.
The interior doesn't look luxurious, to be honest. The Palisade Calligraphy looks more luxurious for me. 😊
I just said the same thing before reading down. I also mentioned that this is auto show entry, and I hope Lexus has more variety on their options list.
Crazy that the sunroof isn’t functional
If it was functional, the headroom would not be good in the second row like the tundra's pano roof
Yes, they needed to keep the V8 for tow capacity
0.5% are
Towing
With the EPA getting stricter, Congress, whatever federal regulations gettin more strict as years go by, new laws, etc., a V8 is likely too troublesome for Toyota in the US
Lookin around, I think the gov wants vehicles to have 161 g CO2/mi by 2026, so as the years go by, and likely beyond 2026, it could get more strict 🤷♂️ so ppl gotta get used to them v6s and 4 cylinders, or electric on new vehicles, or keep their v8 vehicles they have

I cant wait to see one of these with a slight lift and off road spec wheels)
Well, it all depends, do you want a V8 (2023) or twin-turbo V6 (2024)? Otherwise, wait for the hybrid, which should have at least three electric motors. LOL
The data regarding the outgoing GX infotainment system being the same for the past 10 years is not accurate… they did update it in 2022.
They nailed it with this one.
Never liked the previous gen GX .
Do you know that bolt pattern for the new gx 550?
Its a nice Suv Sad That the V8 is Gone
I like that nice I was sold until u said the sunroof doesn’t open why put a sunroof on car that doesn’t open
Great job sir- very composed detailed and professional - you didn’t let the ppl around you bother or stop you from such a great review. !
That guy in the background is creepy af. 😂
That one guy in the back 😂
