Excellent question hope we find an answerDoes the GX have acoustic glass windows and windshields? All trims?
Ty for that infoI asked my S.A. point blank this question today during a test drive and he said yes front and sides are acoustic glass.
My spec sheet provided says acoustic glass and wasn’t trim specific.
Seemed pretty quiet inside.
I saw an article that only the luxury and overtrain trims have both acoustic glass on windshields and side. Others only has the acoustic glass on the windshields ?I asked my S.A. point blank this question today during a test drive and he said yes front and sides are acoustic glass.

My front passenger window cracked on my premium plus and there were not different part numbers for that and luxury. Seems like they all use the same glass.Bumping an old thread: can anybody confirm which models (if any) have ‘acoustic glass’ vs regular glass & the difference between the two.
Makes sense to me. Some rando on FB claimed the OT+ had it while the OT did not. Couldn’t find anything online about itMy front passenger window cracked on my premium plus and there were not different part numbers for that and luxury. Seems like they all use the same glass.
Was wondering if that was the case. Thinking USDM spec is all the sameMy early dealer spec sheet from when I ordered 2 years ago has all trims having acoustic windshield glass
OT+ has acoustic front side glass and OT did not
Premium, luxury, executive trims had it but signature ( base ) trims did not.
These are the Canadian trims btw
Whether that made it to final production who knows.
The front windows are laminated glass the back are tempered. Not sure that has anything to do with acoustic, but it explains why you see layers on the front windows.It appears that on my lux+ the front windows have acoustic glass. But not the rear windows. You can see the multiple layers on the front and just a single layer on the back. What do you guys see?

Lexus has a foot note “if equipped”. the OT does not have the laminated glass on the front windows.Owners manual says all GX 550 have laminated (aka acoustic glass). Page 508. If you look up same in the LC owners manual you will see the LC only has laminated in the windshield.
Not true. Laminated glass is designed for safety and keeps the glass intact when shattered. Acoustic glass is specially designed for sound reduction.Owners manual says all GX 550 have laminated (aka acoustic glass). Page 508.

True, but although not true “Acoustic” glass, Lexus uses that term in its marketing of laminated glass as the laminated dual pane has better sound attenuation than a single pane of tempered glass.Not true. Laminated glass is designed for safety and keeps the glass intact when shattered. Acoustic glass is specially designed for sound reduction.
