ON MY WAY TO WAKANDA IN THE 2017 Lexus GX 460 Thursday 25 January, 2018
I am here for another car review, and I want to say this is the best one yet! This time around I test drove the beautiful Lexus GX 460 and I have to rave on it.
When I got this SUV, I was like “Wow this is a big car”. I was actually slightly intimidated. I don’t think I have drove an SUV this big. I have explained several times, that I am not an SUV girl. but my views has changed! I am an SUV now with this Lexus GX 460! I am even more sold because of how I can drive this in different weather climates, as I actually got this car when it snowed in Atlanta! Atlanta is known for being HOT (Hotlanta) not cold, and especially not known for snowing. Well it definitely snowed and stuck to the grown and I had to drive on it once with snow.
I will get into all of the specs with the Lexus GX, but yes this SUV was made to tread in snow. The all wheel drive and tires made it actually drivable and I felt good knowing I was able to drive through the snow and ice safely for the first time. Do not make fun of me up-northers! I get it, this is a normal thing for you all but it is not the norm for the south! I feel like a survivor and I think I wouldn’t have had the confidence to drive through this weather without this Lexus.
SPORT DESIGN PACKAGE
INTERIOR DETAILS
- WOOD AND LEATHER TRIM
- The Linear Espresso or available Mahogany wood trim in every GX is selected by hand for consistency throughout the interior. And the available semi-aniline leather trim is rigorously tested 11 different ways to make sure it is both soft and durable.
- INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
- The multitude of standard features in the GX also includes subscription-free traffic and weather,* a backup camera* and integrated audio via your iPhone®,* iPod®* or other compatible device, as well as Bluetooth®* wireless audio connectivity.
INNOVATIVE CAPABILITY
- TAME YOUR TERRAIN
- Tackle nearly any terrain with the GX. An available Crawl Control* system manages the engine and brakes to optimize traction and help maintain a slow, consistent speed. Downhill Assist Control* works with the Anti-lock Braking System and Active Traction Control to help keep the GX at a slow, constant descent speed. And Hill-start Assist Control* helps increase control during hill climbing, or stopping and starting on slippery hills.
- FULL-TIME 4WD
- Having power directed to all four wheels all of the time helps give the GX better traction in both on-road and off-road* driving situations. The transfer case can run in locked or unlocked mode, as well as in high or low range.
- KINETIC DYNAMIC SUSPENSION SYSTEM
- The ingenious Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System is designed to change with the terrain. By automatically fixing the front and rear stabilizer bars in place when on-road, it helps to minimize body lean while cornering. Off-road,* it allows each wheel to move more independently, so a wheel on uneven ground can react while the other wheels are relatively unaffected.
So you see me standing by the Lexus now, if you notice the snow finally melted. Those two days were somewhat brutal but I can say I made it. I actually drove in snow and nice! Well now that the snow has melted and all, I am literally getting ready to go to Wakanda. Where is Wakanda you asked? Well its the awesome place in the Marvel Studios upcoming movie, Black Panther, and I will be on my way!
Wakanda is a fictional place, and I cant literally roadtrip there (man I would if I could), but Lexus is the official car sponsor of the Black Panther movie. In honor of the upcoming movie and Lexus collaboration with the film I wanted to share their commercial and information!
A Super charged Collaboration
Riding a top the Lexus LC 500, the title character from Marvel Studios Black Panther stars in “Long Live the King,” the launch commercial for the all-new 2018 Lexus LS 500 that will air first during the Big Game. Completely reimagined, the LS 500 is the most technologically advanced vehicle Lexus has ever produced. Making it a great fit for King T’Challa/Black Panther, the monarch for the most technologically advanced society on Earth. With amazing stunts and driving demonstrations, “Long Live The King” shows why the LS 500 is the luxury performance sedan that takes the crown. See Lexus in action in Marvel Studios Black Panther, in theaters February 16th.
Im ready for Wakanda and I enjoyed my wonderful ride in the Lexus GX 460.
This is a beautiful car! I love white cars and this seems awesome. Thanks
For the review.
This car looks absolutely amazing. I love the white colour and the size
Thats a gorgeous SUV! Perfect for all weather! Congratulations
The Lexus GX is a gorgeous SUV. I love the all wheel drive feature.
Gorgeous car!! congrats
I love the look of this SUV. It looks really great in white. I usually don’t like white cars but this one is okay.
My brother and I drove an older model of this car that was my parents, and I really like it. It would be a little too big for me and my every day right now, but it’s definitely a great SUV!
This looks like such an amazing vehicle. I have never really driven in any Lexus vehicle but I love the way they look.
First, I’ll say I love the title of the post and I’m so excited for the Black Panther movie! Also, I’m surprisingly impressed with this Lexus SUV! I think it’s still a bit large for my liking, but it’s nice.
Oh my goodness what a fantastic car this sounds like. I would absolutely love to give it a test drive for myself.
Oh I love how sleek the Lexus looks! Thank you for sharing a bit of the features on what the gx comes with. Must be an amazing ride.

Wow, this car look so nice and it sounds nice as well! I always liked the way a Lexus looked. Thanks for sharing!
This is a beautiful SUV! I love that it is all-terrain. I feel like maybe I could take it camping and such.
nope i havent and i heard better to avoid it! but thank god that many of the cars this days are built for this conditions!
I have driven in the snow and it’s not my favorite. I mean I don’t think anyone is like “yes! I get to drive in snow!!!” I would be especially nervous driving a rental car in the snow. But it looks like you did a great job!
I can see why you flipped the switched on being an SUV girl, but girl it’s a Lexus! How could you NOT fall in love. Lexus is built for luxery.
Wow, this looks like a great vehicle! My Mom has a Lexus and absolutely LOVES it.
I’m not much into cars and couldn’t really tell you much about them apart from the colour and the fact that they have 4 wheels. You’re very brave to drive in the snow, that thought terrifies me! I’m glad you liked the car!
I love SUV’s. They will always be my top picks when it comes to automobiles. This one looks nice!
These a very good looking car! I bet you had a lot of fun with it. Lexus are very stylish.
That car looks nice! I have always liked Lexus.
I love this car, it looks stylish and the white colour is just perfect for this model! I also love the fact that it’s a big car, the interior looks very comfortable!
Oh my goodness! I love this vehicle! I have been needing a good upgrade from my tiny little nissan!
Even though I know nothing a bout cars I’m convinced I would be amazing at driving and also that the perfect vehicle for me would be an SUV! Maybe I came across this post for a very good reason 😉
The Lexus GX 460 is on my wish list! I could imagine how well it drives in the snow, which I could totally use.
I’m loving the look of this! As a mom of two, space is highly likable in a vehicle like this. The best part is that its all terrain! Woo.
Haha! This is too funny, was just chatting to my friend yesterday about the sheer size of cars in America. People don’t drives ones like that here really – looks pretty swish though
I love this automobile. It looks so roomy perfect for a larger family. White is my favorite color great photos.

I love this truck! I have a white Dodge Durango which seems similar to your truck. I love the look and feel of an SUV. It is so practical when you have a family.
I deffo prefer an suv to a car. Much more space and cosy inside. Also, like the look of an suv more. Yours looks fab 🙂 x
Hahahahaha I was scratching my head trying to figure out where on earth Wakanda was. 😛
I drive a Lexus (not this model, though) and I love it! I’m not an SUV kind of gal, but I could definitely deal with all of that extra space. I’m glad you had a good experience. Lexus make good cars. 🙂 x
Oh very nice SUV, I like big cars but I would be to scared to drive one but I think you have made me recharge my mind and think about trying to drive one, especially because I spend a lot of time in the snow.
I looove the kinetic dynamic suspension feature, as well as the overall sleek style of this care. Thanks for sharing this. I’m putting this car on my wish list!
