2020 XT5… Refresh?? 🤷‍♂️ ______________________________________ [6/21/19] Cadillac seems to be in kahoots with the 3 people on the Lexus GX team and have decided to “update” their XT5 crossover with changes so mild I doubt anyone would notice. So far this updated XT5 is only in China but should make its ways overseas soon. There is a new mesh style grille, slightly revised air intakes and fake side intakes and outback is a revised spoiler. 🔥 @Allcarnews Spec Sheet: China gets a Turbo 2.0L four cylinder that makes 258 lb-ft of torque and an unnamed amount of HP. Currently the XT5 in the US gets 310HP n/a V6 with optional AWD and FWD as standard. 🔥 Inside has the updated CUE touchscreen system that now can be used by the new dial in the center console and there is a new Bose audio system. Cadillac also has said there are 14 new safety systems as well but other than that, you aren’t getting much more. The XT5 is in for a total redesign in a few years so this refresh should hold off its few buyers. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: At least this isn’t on a 10+ year old platform as the GX 😂 ________________________________________ - - #Lexus #SUV #Japan #GX #LX #RX #GX460 #Toyota #LandCruiser #4Runner #truck ||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #supercharged #advanced #SupercarsRevamped #Supercar #HyperCar #ItsWhiteNoise #CarLifeStyle #MadWhips #CupGang #Carstagram #BlackList #AmazingCars247 An #allcarnews post https://www.instagram.com/p/By-0YPfh1O1/?igshid=p7god9a5je4h

2023 Lexus GX Preview: No Changes Expected

2023 Lexus GX Preview: No Changes Expected

Some things are like wine. Even though it’s been around for nearly 13 years, the current generation of this mid-size SUV is still a very desirable vehicle. Moreover, sales numbers were amazing last year, with a 14% improvement compared to 2020. Considering that growth, it’s quite obvious that Toyota engineers won’t rush with the redesign. Most likely, the current generation will remain in…

2020 Lexus GX 460 Review: Anachronism or Legend?

It’s so easy to lose track of time. One week melts into the next until February becomes July and you look back and think, “What the heck happened?” I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Lexus definitely does, too.

Case in point: the 2020 Lexus GX 460. In automotive terms, it isn’t just old, it’s positively ancient—11 model years ancient, to be exact. Most sedans get redesigned every five years; SUVs and trucks get redone every six or seven laps around the sun. So it’s safe to say the GX is pretty well behind the curve.

But that doesn’t mean old things are inherently bad, so we took a look at this automotive artifact to see if it’s still relevant in 2020.

When you walk up to it, you probably wouldn’t be able to guess that this car has been in production since President Obama’s first year in office. Whereas most self-proclaimed SUVs now ride on modified car or minivan platforms, the GX remains one of the few rock-crawlers with old-school body-on-frame roots.

For 2020 the GX got a thorough, more handsome styling makeover, bringing it in line with the rest of the Lexus lineup in terms of design. Other detail changes amount to some new standard safety equipment, an optional off-road package (which our test vehicle had), a new transmission cooler, and two USB ports in the back. Exciting stuff, I know.

Step inside, however, and the GX’s old bones immediately become apparent. The Lexus infotainment system is from a completely different era. There’s no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility, and the center stack is clad in some pretty chintzy plastic. There’s a bit of exposed wood here and there, and the front seats are exceptionally comfortable, but beyond that the interior of this beast is in dire need of a complete overhaul to make it feel modern.

I say beast because it is. The GX is a monster of an SUV—and it’s not even the biggest one Lexus makes. The last time we weighed one, it came in at a hefty 5,211 pounds. It’s also 16 feet long and nearly as wide as a school bus. Yet third-row legroom is cramped at best. Combine that girth with its old 301-hp 4.6-liter V-8, and the Lexus’ mpg suffers. According to the EPA, the GX 460 gets 15/19/16 mpg city/highway/combined.

Put all these things together, and the big Lexus becomes one heck of a conundrum. Why would anyone pay $54,000-$73,000 for something this old, inefficient, and seemingly so out of touch with what modern-day SUV buyers want? I was really starting to doubt the validity of the GX 460 and wondered why Lexus hadn’t retired the old dog entirely.

Then, as if by sheer bad timing alone, an opportunity presented itself. In April and early May, California’s Antelope Valley is awash with what’s colloquially known as the “super bloom.” The annual California poppy explosion emerges across hundreds of acres of land, and families flock to the poppy reserve to witness what is a truly incredible sight. According to Instagram, this year’s bloom was incredible, and I thought, as a last hoorah before I gave the Lexus back, I’d take a trip there to see the poppies for myself.

I wrangled a few friends who accompanied me in a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road—more on that in a moment—and we set off to see what might be left of the bloom. In short, we were too late. All the poppies had already died off, and I was left to think about how I was going to spend the day if I couldn’t frolic in the fields. Well, as luck would have it, there are a plethora of places to go off-roading all over Antelope Valley. Any of them would give the GX 460 a shot at redemption. What could this barge do when taken off the beaten track? I was about to find out.

First, to the trails. The Lexus and its full-time four-wheel-drive system mowed through the dirt and sand with ease, even if I did feel chagrined about possibly scratching its Atomic Silver paint with some desert pinstriping. After a short drive we arrived at some hills that overlook the would-be poppy fields. Most folks would have to make their way up these inclines on foot because boulders present an obstacle to anything that isn’t tall or well suited to the climb. But the GX skipped up the hill like a 5,200-pound mountain goat with leather seats.

Not once during the entire day did the Lexus get stuck in sand, protest steep climbs, slide down somewhat treacherous descents, or even seem to mind the massive potholes that littered the dirt roads. My off-roading abilities are closer to those of an average consumer than Ironman Stewart, but the GX and I scampered through it all with ease. What’s more, I didn’t even need to use the low-range gearbox or the crawl controls the off-road package supplies.

Back to that Tacoma. You might think the midsize pickup (specifically, in off-road guise) would be able to go places the Lexus couldn’t during our little adventure. However, everything the Tacoma did, the GX did too, but with an added degree of comfort I’m certain was missing in the pickup’s cabin. The optional cooled seats, for example, were a blessing on that scorching afternoon. The Mark Levinson sound system blasted Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” into my eardrums as I fueled my inner hair-metal rebel.

The GX made it all too easy, on trails and paths that 90 percent of Lexus owners would encounter and say, “No, thanks.” The ride off-road was a touch bouncy at times, but on the whole I found the Lexus controlled its considerable mass well. Grip was ever-present, too. Even on normal, all-season tires, the GX never wanted for traction. After three hours of continuous off-roading, I was starting to see the light.

During my day out in the dirt, the old GX made good. All the compromises that make it difficult to live with during everyday transport on tarmac and asphalt—like its firm ride and extremely heavy steering—finally made sense to me. Even if I didn’t push the Lexus near its limits that day, I realized the GX 460 is a supremely capable luxury-oriented SUV.

That said, there are certainly more current, capable, and luxurious SUVs out there (a decade is forever in car-development R&D), and many of them will happily take you off pavement, too. If your pockets aren’t deep enough for the Lexus, you can opt for its cheaper, platform mate, the Toyota 4Runner—but you suffer a smaller engine and narrower cabin, and lose all the luxe trim.

That leaves us back where we started. Does this SUV from the naughts have a place in 2020? Yes, it’s an imperfect yet worthy companion. But if you buy one of these and never take it off-road, you’re missing the point entirely.

The 2020 Lexus GX has a new off-road package nobody will use Lexus is not redesigning the GX luxury SUV for 2020, but instead introducing some minor updates (on a vehicle which has remained essentially unchanged since 2010).Yes, the 2020 Lexus GX receives a new grille, which, dare we say, improves the look over the 2019 model? Inside the vehicle are much more significant changes, with real wood and aluminum trim panels adorning the dash to make it feel more luxurious.Opting for the Sport package will add a unique lower grille surround; 19-inch gunmetal grey rims; and accents on the side mirrors and exhaust tips.The crown jewel of the update is a new off-road package that has a bunch of features that would actually be great if any owner of the vehicle would actually take it off-road; after all, underneath the Lexus GX is a pretty capable Land Cruiser Prado.The package adds a driving mode selector for Snow, Mud and Sand, and even Loose Rocks; there are also cameras that can show you whats happening in front, on the sides and underneath your vehicle. Theres even a crawl feature, which will probably also never get used.On top of those physical upgrades, Lexus has also updated the safety systems with a suite of new technology, such as intelligent LED headlights that default to high beam when turned on, but turn to regular beam when other vehicles are detected. Collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and blind-spot warning are all now standard across

2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Review: More Tech, Same Powertrain

The current-generation Toyota 4Runner isn’t new, yet the body-on-frame SUV has sold more units year over year since 2011. The 4Runner has added a few updates since its launch a decade ago, but the factors helping it build the momentum are low gas prices and its good reliability. For the 2020 model year, the 4Runner is getting more updates that could help it maintain that sales push. We drove the TRD Pro on one of Utah’s most challenging trails, Hell’s Revenge near Moab, to try the new features and see how the 4Runner performs off the pavement.

Perhaps the most important update is the new multimedia system with an 8.0-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. This is a big upgrade over the previous 6.1-inch screen, which was small and outdated. The new display is standard across the board—from the SR5 grade to the TRD Pro—and it makes the 4Runner a bit more modern.

A new instrument panel with a 4.2-inch screen is also standard across the model line. The whole cluster has been redesigned; the speedo and tachometer look fresher, and the new screen provides better graphics and cleaner color. The rest of the interior, from the HVAC controls to the shifter and trims, continues with no changes. However, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road Premium, and TRD Pro trims get a push-button start, and all 4Runners now have two USB ports for rear-seat passengers.

Also standard is Toyota Safety Sense P (TTS-P), the suite of safety technologies that Toyota promised to bring to all of its models. On the 2020 4Runner, TTS-P includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, automatic high-beams, and adaptive cruise control. The buttons for lane departure alert and the pre-collision system are oddly located on the steering wheel, as there’s a lack of space to the left of the steering column.

What remains untouched is everything under the sheetmetal. The 4.0-liter V-6 engine produces the same 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque as before, and the five-speed automatic sends all that power to the rear or all four wheels, depending on which transmission you get. Given that last year’s 4Runner TRD Pro got the same Fox shocks as the Tacoma TRD Pro, Toyota didn’t make any changes to the suspension for the 2020 model year. However, all 4Runner TRD Pros come with a new TRD cat back exhaust that sounds a little better than last year’s model.

In terms of driving, the 4Runner TRD Pro behaves pretty much the same as the 2019 model. During our time on Hell’s Revenge, the 4Runner showed good wheel articulation and traction. Other than lowering the tire pressure, our TRD Pro was fully stock. Crawl Control took away some of the stress of driving on a steep downhill: All the driver has to do is control the steering and select one of the five available speeds. The system controls engine speed and braking, making it easier to go over some difficult obstacles.

Multi-Terrain Select system, which carries over from last year, is also helpful for off-roading. It adjusts the wheel slip depending on the mode you select: Mud, Sand, Rock, or Mogul. We spent most of the time driving in Rock mode as it best suited the terrain of Hell’s Revenge.

Although the 4Runner is old, it proved to be plenty capable on the trail. The Fox suspension helps to keep the cabin calm, providing good cushioning on bumps, and the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System gives the 4Runner more suspension travel. I was particularly surprised to see the good articulation that the 4Runner had on the trail; the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro models both got through the same obstacles that other jacked-up Jeeps and Lexus GXs rode through. The V-6 engine has a good growl, but the five-speed transmission makes the 4Runner lurch forward when you shift from park to drive. We also noticed a couple of clumsy shifts when driving on pavement.

For 2020 the 4Runner TRD Pro is getting new colors. Our favorite (just like in the Tacoma) is the TRD Pro exclusive Army Green. The SUV is also getting Super White, Magnetic Gray Metallic, and Midnight Black Metallic.

Those looking to buy a 4Runner should definitely wait for the 2020 model, as these updates really make a difference in the interior and safety. The updated 4Runner will be available in Toyota dealers by the end of the summer. Pricing should be announced closer to the on-sale date, and considering the many updates that it received, we could see a minor bump.
