Lexus of Glendale is excited to showcase the 2026 Lexus GX, a vehicle that redefines the balance between rugged capability and sophisticated luxury. This iconic SUV is built on a high-strength ladder frame, making it one of the few luxury vehicles that is truly at home on both the streets of Glendale and the remote trails of the Sierra Nevada mountains. As your premier dealership group, Lexus of Glendale is proud to offer an SUV that meets the needs of Southern California drivers who demand uncompromising performance, advanced technology, and a commanding presence on the road.
The 2026 Lexus GX is offered in six trim levels: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, Overtrail, and Overtrail+. Each grade is designed to cater to specific preferences, whether you prioritize maximum luxury or ultimate off-road prowess. The Premium and Luxury grades focus on high-end interior appointments, while the Overtrail trims are specifically engineered for adventure.
The Premium grade serves as a high-standard entry point, featuring a 14-inch touchscreen and heated/ventilated front seats. Moving up to the Luxury+ trim adds premium amenities such as semi-aniline leather, massaging front seats, and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system. For those looking to explore the backroads near Glendale, the Overtrail grades include 33-inch all-terrain tires and an Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) that allows for greater wheel articulation on uneven terrain.
Every 2026 Lexus GX is powered by a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces an impressive 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a Direct Shift-10AT 10-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth power delivery for both highway cruising and low-speed off-road technical maneuvers.

The Lexus GX is widely regarded as one of the most capable off-road luxury SUVs in the world, featuring standard full-time 4WD and a locking center differential. The Overtrail models take this capability further with a standard rear locking differential and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), which optimizes traction for various surfaces like sand, mud, and rock.
Full-Time 4WD: Provides continuous power to all four wheels for superior grip in all conditions.
Crawl Control: Automatically manages the throttle and brakes at low speeds, allowing the driver to focus on steering through difficult obstacles.
E-KDSS: An advanced suspension system that can electronically disconnect the stabilizer bars to maximize wheel travel off-road while maintaining stability on the pavement.
Multi-Terrain Monitor: Uses external cameras to show the driver what is directly underneath and around the vehicle, which is essential for avoiding hidden rocks or debris.
The 2026 Lexus GX offers an available towing capacity of up to 9,096 pounds on the Premium and Overtrail grades. This makes it one of the most capable towing vehicles in the Lexus lineup, easily handling everything from horse trailers and boats to large camping trailers for your family vacations.
Even the Luxury trims, which feature larger wheels, maintain a robust towing capacity of over 7,600 pounds. This versatility ensures that Glendale drivers don't have to choose between a premium daily driver and a vehicle that can support a rugged lifestyle. To assist with towing, the GX includes advanced stability controls and an integrated tow hitch receiver that is engineered directly into the frame for maximum durability.
The interior of the Lexus GX is a sanctuary of technology, centered around a standard 14-inch high-definition touchscreen featuring the Lexus Interface system. This system includes cloud-based navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto integration, ensuring your favorite apps are always within reach.
Passengers will also benefit from a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that can be customized to show off-road data, navigation instructions, or safety alerts. Every GX comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which provides peace of mind with features like All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist.
