Lexus, the luxury vehicle division of Japanese Automaker Toyota, looks solid. The company released a new teaser image of its off-road SUV 'Lexus GX' confirming that it will be launched on June 8 in Austin, Texas. Earlier this month, Lexus teased two images of the vehicle flaunting the first look of the vehicle. Preview? The recent preview provides us with a clear view of the GX's rear end and side profile, which exhibits certain similarities to the angular design of the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series. Nevertheless, there are noticeable distinctions, including the slightly smaller taillights that are linked together by an illuminated light bar and the side mirrors sporting a more square-shaped design. [gallery bgs_gallery_type="slider" ids="176848,176850"] Lexus hasn't revealed the details following the current generation, but we can expect it to be a mid-sized SUV with third-row seats, using the GA-F version of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA). Therefore, unlike TX, the GX may get perfect off-road capability. Powertrain? Underneath the bonnet, the U.S-spec GX may be equipped with a modified version of the 409-hp turbocharged 3.5 litre V6 powertrain offered in the LX. However, the Hybrid version can also be another option. The GX's development aligns with the simultaneous creation of a new iteration of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado intended for non-U.S. markets. This arrangement mirrors the distribution strategy where the U.S. market receives the Lexus LX while other regions are offered the Toyota Land Cruiser, which shares similarities with the GX. Furthermore, the GX lies between RX and LX. Mind you, GX is not the only vehicle Lexus is unveiling on June 8, all-new TX three is also another machine debuting on a similar date. Lexus will also launch the LBX as a luxurious variant of the Toyota Yaris Cross. What do you expect in the new Lexus GX? Tell us in the comments section.

Today we're back with a comparison review between the Toyota LC300 and Lexus LX600. These are Toyota's toughest and most luxurious flagship SUVs, providing the ultimate off-road experience and top-notch luxury. In this video, we will review these cars side by side, compare their features, discuss their history, and find out which one is superior. History The Land Cruiser debuted in 1951, initially being a pure off-road focused and purpose-built machine; it has now evolved into a very stylish and luxurious SUV on its 70th anniversary. The Lexus LX joined the Land Cruiser in 1995 with the LX450, followed by the LX470, LX570, and now the LX600. Previously both these cars were almost identical in design; however, with recent iterations, the LX is aimed to target people who want the toughness of a Land Cruiser but with some extra luxury. Drivetrain And Platform Both the LC and LX have ladder-frame chassis and share Toyota's TNGA-F platform. Despite looking very bulky compared to the previous generation, both cars are actually 200 kilograms lighter. This new platform makes these cars more off-road capable and enhances efficiency due to weight reduction. As for the engine, V8 has been discontinued; these cars now come with a 3.5 liter twin-turbo V6 producing around 409 hp and 650 nm of torque. This engine is configured with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivering power to all four wheels. Exterior The front end is boxy and aggressive, starting with LC's exterior. The huge horizontal grill covers most of the bumper with sharp rectangular headlamps. The structure gives off a very rugged look, continuing the theme of Land cruisers over the years. The sides have edgy contours with smoked 20-inch alloys and an upright rear end giving it a distinctive look. On the other hand, opposing the rugged and sharp looks of the LC, the LX's design is more elegant and flowy. The front spindle grille is the highlight of the front end, with Trick Blade-scan headlamps sleekly integrated. The sides are impressive, with a huge fender arch giving it a wide stance, beautiful 22-inch alloys, soft closing doors, and smooth character lines. The rear end features all-new run-through LED tail lamps, giving it a premium look. Interior Both cars now feature a floating infotainment system, but the interior layout differs. Starting with the Land Cruiser, the sharp cuts from the exterior extend to the interior too. The center panel is the main control spot with a 12.3-inch screen and several buttons. The instrument cluster still has analogue dials along with a MID and shows a list of vehicle information. Materials used are very hefty and premium, with perforated leather seats, aluminum-finished buttons and knobs, wooden trims, and a dual-tone interior. Sitting in the LX, it instantly feels a league above; the interior feels way more luxurious, and the attention to detail is impressive. The main highlight inside is the split screen setup in the center; a 12.3-inch screen at the top is the infotainment system, while the climate control and vehicle information can be accessed from a 7-inch display. The contrast of materials used is leather, smoked chrome, wooden trims, and soft plastic. The instrument cluster here is also fully digital with an 8-inch screen along with paddle shifters on the steering; something is missing in the LC. Features As for off-road and safety features, both the cars have very similar features, which include crawl control, multi-terrain select, differential lock, L4, H4, adaptive suspension, etc. safety consists of 10 airbags, blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, electronic brake distribution, traction control, lane keep assist, a 360-degree camera and much more. The LX, however, has some extra features which add a pinch of luxury. These include soft closing doors, larger alloy wheels, fingerprint authentication on the start/stop button, an optional 25-speaker mark levinson sound system, rear captain chairs in the Ultra Luxury variant, a voice command system, and an underbody camera for off-roading. Price As for the price, the Land Cruiser LC300 costs around PKR 100 to 120 million, while the Lexus LX600 comes in at around PKR 170 to 200 million. These are estimated figures, and the prices depend on the customs duties of Pakistan and the specific variant of the car imported. Watch Video 

Pakistan’s half-beating economic pulse urged the incumbent government to hinder the depleting foreign exchange reserves, resulting being banned LCs. Where the move has shattered the country’s industry, including car sector, the opulent class seems to have nothing to do with the prevailing economic fuss and inflicted curbs. Rich are busy in importing luxury cars – Mercedes, Ferraris, BMWs. Abdullah Saad, owner and CEO of WCCFTech in his tweets, posted the list of these higher-end luxury vehicles imported between May and December 2022. Surprisingly, the restrictions were in place when cars were imported. https://twitter.com/kursed/status/1615821516620566529 Moreover, Saad’s tweets make some amazing revelations narrating that these vehicles have reached the country’s ports. Some have cleared whilst other are in waiting lists. https://twitter.com/kursed/status/1615821886533038080 This long series of tweets also flaunts two Ferraris worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the end. Concerning the source of this information, Saad informed that the Government of Pakistan posted these lists and is available on http://paktradeinfo.com/. https://twitter.com/kursed/status/1615955879907708930 When the inflation-stricken middle and low class is suffering, elites seem exempted from all the scenario. Analysts have expressed utter distress over the imported of these full-throated supercars, especially when the LCs are banned. https://twitter.com/kursed/status/1615958181150355457 43 Luxury Cars & EVs Imported in Dec 22 – Another Episode Interestingly, fat-cat is not the only part of game, the government also join the chorus – imported 43 luxury and electric vehicles including 18 heavy bikes. Currently, the biggest issue the Pakistan auto industry faces is the scarcity of the US dollar. Due to this problem, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is not issuing LCs to car companies to import CKD kits. Resultantly, the auto industry is at a virtual halt as companies face repeated production shutdowns. But on the other hand, the import of luxury cars, electric vehicles (EVs), and even heavy bikes seem to continue. And a recent tweet by the economist, Ali Khizar, proved this indication right. As per Khizar, “23 Land cruisers and Lexus and 20 EVs – mostly e-trons have been imported in December 2002.” Meanwhile, talking about the bike, he wrote 18 heavy bikes, including BMW Motorrad and Harley-Davidson, were also cleared last month. “Last but not least, he concluded that over 300 used cars – including Vitz and Vessel were also imported during this period,” he concluded. Amid this tough patch for the auto industry and for the country overall, clearing such expensive cars for import makes little or no sense. Because on the one hand, the government is telling the local car assemblers there is no dollar for LCs, while on the other hand, the import of such vehicles continues, leading to only one question, how? and the second question, why? What do you think about the import of these high-end luxury vehicles especially when the country’s economic is in shambles? Tell us in the comment section.
