Lexus RX vs GX - Which is Ideal For You?

Lexus has a reputation for producing high-quality, luxury vehicles to suit all drivers.

The RX and the GX are exceptional models in the Lexus family, but deciding which one suits you best can be quite a challenge. That’s why we have compared the two new Lexus luxury SUVs to help you choose which one is the best match for your needs, driving style and passion.

Comfort

The Lexus RX offers just over a metre of headroom and 1.12 metres of legroom for the driver and front-seat passenger. Similarly, the Lexus GX boasts 96.4cm and 1.06m of headroom and legroom.

Both vehicles are perfect for long journeys, allowing you and your passengers to stretch out, relax and enjoy the beautiful vistas the UAE’s roads have to offer.

Handling

Thanks to its all-time 4-Wheel Drive, the GX has a small turning circle, making it perfect for manoeuvring through tight city roads and town centres. The GX's four-wheel drive also means that it is ideal for off-roading, for those who love to adventure and create their own path.

On the other hand, the RX is designed with urban driving in mind. An All-Wheel Drive system optimised for on-road driving transfers the engine's torque to the ground when turning at speed or when accelerating from a complete stop. If you love cruising through the streets of UAE, then the RX is for you.

Performance

With 301hp and an incredible towing capacity of 2,950kg, the Lexus GX is an absolute beast of a vehicle. When driving this luxury SUV, you can feel the power coursing through the car.

Designed for urban driving, the RX is perfectly crafted for this purpose. The RX boasts 296hp and a towing capacity of 1,587kg, making it a comfortable yet robust drive, capable of handling any journey.

Utility

With seven seats, the Lexus GX is designed with families in mind. The GX can carry more luggage or equipment, making it the perfect companion for going on holidays or transporting assets from one place to another.

The Lexus RX has the traditional five-seat layout, which provides a significant amount of legroom and headroom while leaving plenty of space in the boot for any bags or suitcases.

Conclusion

The Lexus GX and the Lexus RX are absolute beauties on the road, both to look at and to drive. However, the one which is right for you depends a lot on what you are looking for.

For drivers with a larger family or those who like to go on trips with friends, the GX, with its higher seating capacity and 4-Wheel Drive, might be the right choice.

For those who enjoy driving around the city and taking in the sights in luxurious comfort, the RX is perfect for your lifestyle.
