The frame Lexus GX of the now outgoing second generation has been in service since 2009, its appearance was last changed in 2019, and two years later the interior was redone. At the end of 2022, sales of the all-terrain vehicle in the United States (this is the main market for SUVs) dipped, and yet the model feels quite confident: 29,945 units were sold (-8%). By the way, the non-premium brother of the GX – Toyota Land Cruiser Prado – is no longer sold in the USA, although now there are rumors about a possible return. Be that as it may, the third-generation Lexus all-terrain vehicle that has now debuted has every chance to improve its position.
