Keen off-road-focussed buyers are flocking to the upcoming Lexus GX 4x4 SUV, according to the brand's local boss. Speaking to CarsGuide at the launch of the LBX small SUV, Lexus Australia Chief Executive, John Pappas said there was a big off-road preference emerging, which is new for the brand.
The all-new Lexus GX will arrive in Australia in June, bringing with it a new focus on rugged off-road capability and a thumping twin-turbo V6 engine. Lexus' answer to the incoming Toyota Prado could actually be first to arrive in Australia – Toyota's version is due sometime around the middle of the year – with the five- or seven-seat SUV to touch down in three trim levels: Luxury, Overtrail and Sports Luxury.
