Power & Economy

So, what can you expect when you bring these two SUVs to life? With the 2021 GX 460 and its 4.6L V8 powertrain, you’ll be provided with a hefty 301-hp1 and 329 lb.-ft. of torque1, which should be more than enough strength to get you through the day with ease. In fact, despite the fact this brawn can support a 6,500-lb. maximum towing capacity2, you’ll still maintain up to 15/19 MPG city/hwy3. To compare, the 2021 LX 570 is equipped with a standard 5.7L V8 engine that delivers a stellar 383-hp1 and 403 lb.-ft. of torque1 at a fuel economy rating of 12/16 MPG city/hwy3. Plus, thanks to its 7,000-lb. maximum towing capacity2, you’ll be prepared to haul all sorts of loads with ease. 

Cabin Space

Another key difference between the 2021 Lexus GX 460 and the 2021 LX 570 is the size of their interiors. In the case of the former, all three of its trim levels offer three rows and seating for up to seven people in total. Meanwhile, the LX 570 has a two-row model with room for five, in addition to a three-row edition that fits eight guests. Additionally, while the GX 460 provides 64.7 cubic ft. of overall storage space4 when the rear seats are stowed, its larger counterpart supplies 81.3 cubic ft. of total cargo area4 with its back rows folded down. Clearly, no matter which vehicle you choose, you’ll have an easy time packing in the family for a memorable day at Cameron Run Regional Park.

Technology

The last aspect we’d like to review is technology, since many drivers are committed to driving a model with the latest bells and whistles. Fortunately, whether you decide to go with the Lexus GX 460 or LX 570, you’ll have a wide array of amenities to enjoy. For instance, both are available with a Mark Levinson®5 Surround Sound Audio System, with the GX 460 offering 17 speakers in comparison to the 19 speakers equipped within the LX 570’s cabin. And although both include such standard amenities as Traffic and Weather updates via HD Radio™6 and Amazon Alexa7 compatibility, only the LX 570 lets you upgrade to a Rear-Seat Entertainment System8. With this, your kids can watch DVDs on dual headrest-mounted 11.6-inch monitors.
