Aivan kuten Toyota 4Runner on ollut olemassa iät ja monet muutoksen, niin on Lexus GX. Mutta näyttää siltä vihdoin saada uusi sukupolvi. And we’re not being facetious about a redesign. The current generation has been around since the 2010 model year. That’s nearly 15 years without major changes.

The teasers naturally don’t reveal a whole lot. But we do get a solid peak at the front. The hood has fat, chiseled bulges on each side. It wraps over the edges and covers the tops of the fenders. It really gives an air of chunky ruggedness, almost like a tank. The headlights have a more horizontal orientation now, too. It all looks similar to uusi LX, mutta hieman aggressiivisempi.

The rear shot gives away much less. It’s a close-up of the new Lexus word mark atop a full-width taillight, which is a departure from the simple, separate vertical lights on the current model. There’s a little tab on the rear window that suggests it will still be possible to open it separately from the tailgate. It’s unclear whether the tailgate will still open from the side, or if it will adopt a top-hinged hatch. That side-hinged tailgate was a leftover from the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the GX’s twin. That design allowed for mounting a spare tire to the outside, though the GX hasn’t had one in some time.

Lexus GX teaser takana

Odotamme GX:n olevan jatkossakin läheisesti sukua land Cruiser Prado, aivan kuten LX on kaksos tavallisen Land Cruiserin kanssa. Tämä tarkoittaisi, että se olisi jatkossakin rungossa -malli, jossa on perinteisempi nelivetojärjestelmä, jossa on kaksinopeuksinen vaihteisto. Todennäköisesti uusi Prado on kulman takana, samoin kuin uusi 4Runner, koska 4Runner on perustunut Prado-alustalle, vaikkakin yleiseen suunnitteluun on tehty hieman enemmän muutoksia.

The new GX probably won’t be available with a V8, though. While the old 4.6-liter unit wasn’t especially powerful or efficient, it was a smooth and charismatic engine that we’ll be sad to see go. We would expect some kind of V6 instead, likely turbocharged, to take its place. Hybridization is possible, too.

Toyota gave no date for the GX reveal, but we’re sure it will be shown in the next few months. It will probably go on sale near the end of this year or early next year.
