A comprehensive safety review of the Lexus GX has yet to be published by either the NHTSA or the IIHS. This isn't an entirely unusual scenario for an expensive luxury model. However, a number of standard safety and driver-assistance features work to keep your family safe.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
Every Lexus GX comes equipped with the basics - ABS, EBD, traction and stability control, and an impressive ten airbags: dual front, front knee, front side, rear side, and side curtain. Lexus Safety System+ is standard and comprises pre-collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, lane-departure alert, and adaptive cruise control, along with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. The Premium expands this offering by adding rain-sensing wipers. The top-tier Luxury can also be outfitted with a surround-view camera, as well as a multi-terrain monitor - but these two items are standard on the Black Line SE this year.

Unsurprisingly for a Lexus, the 2023 GX had a very good J.D. Power rating of 83 out of 100. Its specific reliability and quality rating is even better at 86/100. It's also been recall-free so far for the model years 2020 through 2023. The last GX that was recalled was the 2019 model for a fuel pump that could fail. Lexus offers a standard 50,000-mile/four-year basic warranty on new purchases, while the powertrain warranty is valid for a period of 70,000 miles/six years. Complimentary maintenance is available for the first year, or the first 10,000 miles.
