Car Profiles - Lexus GX

LEXUS GX

Treated to a spindle grille for a refresh, the upscale twin of the Prado proves to be distant. Premium materials fill the cabin, also a 4.6 V8 that its pedestrian cousin does not have. Perfect for hauling seven people in a manageable size in style.

The Good: Powerful V8 engine

The Bad: Bulky size

Price Range: P5,578,000
