Le Lexus GX 2024 taquiné avec un look trapu et robuste

Nœud source: 2644045

Tout comme le Toyota 4Runner existe depuis des lustres sans aucun changement, donc le Lexus GX. Mais il semble que enfin je vais en recevoir un nouveau génération . 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 le nouveau LX, mais un peu plus agressif.

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.

Nous prévoyons que le GX continuera d'être étroitement lié au Land Cruiser Prado, tout comme le LX est un jumeau du Land Cruiser ordinaire. Cela signifierait qu'il continuerait à s'agir d'une conception de carrosserie sur châssis avec un système à quatre roues motrices plus conventionnel avec une boîte de transfert à deux vitesses. Il y a de fortes chances qu'un nouveau Prado soit au coin de la rue, ainsi qu'un nouveau 4Runner, puisque le 4Runner est basé sur la plate-forme Prado, mais avec un peu plus de modifications dans la conception globale.

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.
