With its redesigned platform, advanced hybrid powertrain, and blend of rugged capability and luxurious comfort, this SUV is more than just a pretty face at the valet stand—it’s built for real life.

Built for the Everyday—and the Extraordinary

The GX 550 Luxury+ isn’t just designed for one type of driver. It’s for the family that goes from back-to-back soccer games to spontaneous weekend getaways. With seating for up to seven, it offers both spaciousness and flexibility. You can opt for second-row captain’s chairs or a bench, depending on whether your priority is passenger room or car seat maneuverability.

Plus, thanks to the fold-flat third row, there’s plenty of room for sports gear, groceries, and even a few duffel bags for that last-minute mountain trip.

Power and Capability for Wherever Life Takes You

Under the hood, the 3.4L twin-turbo V6 in the GX 550 produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, giving it more than enough strength to tow up to 8,000 pounds. That means you can haul a trailer, boat, or camper without hesitation.

And for those Sierra Nevada getaways? The GX 550 Luxury+ includes:

  • Full-time 4WD with a Torsen® limited-slip differential
  • Available E-KDSS (Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System)
  • Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control

These systems aren’t just buzzwords—they let you confidently handle muddy roads, snow-covered passes, and rocky trails with ease.
