Lexus has released another teaser image of the third generation of the GX, and they have also confirmed that the debut will take place on June 8 at 8pm EST. In this latest photo, we get a glimpse of the rear end of the luxury off-roader, which follows the boxy styling of the front, which gave us some Range Rover vibes. (Updated 5/25).
The current GX model has seen minimal changes since 2009, despite two facelifts and various updates throughout its lifecycle making it high time for a complete overhaul and a fresh, clean-sheet design. Luckily, the teaser shots of the 2024 Lexus GX showcase a significant departure from its predecessor, particularly in the lighting department.

The 2024 Lexus GX features angular LED headlights that are sleeker and more simplified compared to its previous design. These headlights are seamlessly connected to the bumper intakes, surrounding a black spindle grille that ditches the traditional chrome accents – at least in the trim edition we’re looking at here. Notably, the bonnet boasts a distinct bulge, reminiscent of previous generations of the Range Rover, albeit with a modern twist.
The other two teaser images highlight the rear end which features a Prius-style full-width LED bar positioned on the upright tailgate. We also get a glimpse of the boxy wheel arches situated below the prominent fenders, emphasizing the GX’s robust and commanding presence. Finally, unlike the flat character line on the profile, there is a step on the side windows, highlighting the pronounced rear shoulders.
Although specific technical details of the 2024 Lexus GX have not been disclosed by the Japanese automaker, the SUV will likely utilize a shortened version of the body-on frame TNGA-F platform that underpins a variety of models from the latest international market Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and Sequoia to the Lexus LX600 By keeping a body-on-frame construction, the new GX will ensure its off-road capabilities while bringing enhancements in on-road performance and ride comfort. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the interior of the GX will feature Lexus’ latest advancements in terms of infotainment, comfort, and safety technologies.
