2024 Lexus GX Gas Mileage

[supersix]

The old Lexus GX V-8 model was a gas guzzler at 15/19 MPG city/highway. The new 2024 GX will offer an estimated 17 mpg combined. I'm guessing 16 city - 20 highway. I was hoping for a little better, but it's certainly not a deal killer. Anyone else disappointed?

I was surprised by the combined mileage as well. Our P400 Defender is currently averaging over 20 mpg and has had great fuel mileage for a boxy SUV.

What is the source of the above estimated MPG? The non-hybrid Tundra is rated at 17/22/19, City/Highway/Combined. Will the 2024 GX meet or exceed this? One would think it would come in appreciably lighter than the Tundra at a tad under 5000 lbs, and better economy? Wishful thinking? Of course, presumably premium fuel will be recommended.

I can't seem to find anything on the Lexus website or in the press release, however Car and Driver mentioned: "Lexus claims a combined fuel-economy rating of 17 mpg, a slight bump over the old V-8 GX460's 16 mpg combined." I sure hope it's over 20mpg on the highway.

Launching as the GX550 with a twin-turbo V-6, it aims to back up its tough shape with off-road cred—especially the Overtrail.
