Finally, a word from the editorial team

The new GX is a model with many appealing features, including a larger body size, powerful design, and a wide engine lineup. Its large dimensions of 4,950mm in length, 1980mm in width, and 1870mm in height provide stable driving performance and a spacious interior. The adoption of the GA-F platform also improves off-road performance. However, there are drawbacks when driving and parking in urban areas. Therefore, users who primarily use the vehicle in urban areas or who are concerned about limited parking spaces should understand the GX’s size and maneuverability before making their decision. Based on the Land Cruiser 250, the new GX inherits the history and reliability of the Land Cruiser series while meeting modern needs. Its appeal is sure to continue to attract attention.
