Overview & Reviews

There are no significant changes to the Lexus SUV, though new SAE engine testing procedures have resulted in a slight drop in the amount of stated power for the V8.

• Luxurious cabin furnishings, plush ride quality, fine road manners, smooth drivetrain, exceptional off-road ability should you need it, costs less than highly regarded European competitors.

• Very tight quarters in optional third-row seat, side-hinged cargo door impedes curbside loading.

  Its a technological marvel - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By DC - April 25 - 12:53 am

  The top reason to buy an SUV is for traction control. Well, the technology in this car is phenomenal. Full, split axle 4-wheel drive for mud and snow slopes that some trucks could not even handle. Computer assisted 4-wheel drive for on road use in snow and ice, along with a brilliant ABS system, though unnerving at times, and you can be sure of a safe fast stop in any weather. I also got a special suspension option (one of the few options offered on a Lexus) and I am amazed at how it handles bumps. Riding in this car is an absolute pleasure. Its computer technology is amazing as is its build. Cost is high, but I can say, its worth every penny.

  Excellent SUV - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By Love it - January 6 - 5:23 pm

  Test drove the MDX, ML500, BMW X5, and also the Tourage. They all drove nicely. But Im glad I bought my GX 470. Its comfortable and everything you can ask for in an SUV.

  Best SUV I Have Ever Owned - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By Kyhoke - October 24 - 2:43 am

  After owing the vehicle for 7 months I am still amazed at how smooth my GX drives. I choose this vehicle for its reliability, size and comfort as I have two large dogs. While searching for a new vehicle I test drove every SUV out there and I do mean every one including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Acura which I was really in love with at first but choose the GX in the end. I commute 100 miles a day for work and on occasion I have to haul things around so a decent amount of room was great. The interior cabin is very spacious and everything is well laid out for ease of use as well. Driving is a breeze as the engine which is quite strong is also very quiet, especially during an idle.

  Great but could be better - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By yellow enzo - October 13 - 11:33 pm

  The only regret i have with this car is ours is without the kenetic dynamic suspension. i would consider this a must have option the fit and finish in our car is not up to lexus standards. The fuel economy is the biggest suprise it can easily get upwards of 24mpg on a road trip and about 17-19 on the twisties

  Disappointing - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By Jim R - February 25 - 2:23 am

  I have been so disappointed with this truck that, in the middle of my lease, I ordered a BMW X5 (Im going back to this better performing, more luxurious SUV). The GX 470 is boring to drive. It lumbers down the highway like a full sized American car. The "premium" sound system is no better than average. The gas mileage is worse than the X5 - I rarely get more than 12 mpg. The interior is average - the leather and wood trim are not nearly as nice as what is offered by BMW or Audi. Overall, I paid 55,000 for this truck and its worth about 35,000. I cant wait to get back into a BMW.

  Love my GX 470 - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By Scoot - October 27 - 5:36 pm

  After looking at many different SUVs - I am extremely happy with my Lexus GX 470. The car has a very smooth and comfortable ride. The build quality is fantastic - this is my first lexus and I can see why they score so well in the customer satisfaction rankings. I would recommend this car for anyone looking for a midsized SUV.

  Love this truck. - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By Sami - October 12 - 1:10 pm

  We just traded in our 05 Escalade for the 06 GX 470. We love it. The truck is truly beautiful inside and out. Rides like a dream. We were very nervous about going smaller in truck size but this truck offers us everything that we need in a nice neat package. We orded this truck fully loaded and are thrilled with everything. As for the 3rd row seat they are tight but the truck is smaller so that is to be expected. They are there just in case.

  Its all that and more! - 2006 Lexus GX 470
  By HM173 - September 15 - 4:56 am

  This is a car that gives you more for your money than any other car Ive owned. The Nav and DVD are a nice, but the safety features are a must (side impact air bags, curtain and dash as well). When comparing this car with others make list of options, fuel economy and price and this car wins hands down.
