IT’S MORE THAN A VEHICLE.

IT’S A SOLUTION.

THE 2012

GX

Information Provided by:

Among seven-passenger utility vehicles, there are those designed primarily for
on-road and those for off-road. Seldom is there one engineered specifically to
excel on both—until now. The current-generation GX is more powerful, versatile
and capable than ever before. Consider the paradox solved.

THAT’S DESIGNED TO BE

UTILIZED.

A utility vehicle shouldn’t solely be
measured by how much it can carry,
but rather how easy it is to use. For
instance, the GX features a rear
window that flips open for convenient
loading of smaller items. As well as
third-row seats that can easily fold flat
by pressing a button located in the
cargo area or adjacent to the second­row seat. And, with a passenger-side
second-row seat that tilts and slides
forward, accessing the third row and

TAKE YOUR GREAT ROOM

WITH YOU.

Remarkably spacious, with a host of accommodations, you’ll be hard-pressed
to find a finer home away from home. Among its comforts: exquisite auburn
bubinga wood accents, ergonomic seating trimmed in premium double-stitched
leather and available heated second-row outboard seating.

A FRESH TAKE ON

Information Provided by:

FRESH AIR.

One dual-zone climate-control
system in the front and another
available climate-control system
in the rear. To most automobile
manufacturers, these systems
would be more than enough. But
in here, they’re just the beginning.
The GX is the first V8 in its class
to come standard with heated
and ventilated front seats. And,
because not all air is good air,
the GX also offers an available
system that can help detect smog
and certain pollutants outside of
the vehicle. If it determines the
outside air to be contaminated,
the system automatically
recirculates the cleaner air inside
the cabin.

At last, something both siblings can agree on. The
available dual-screen Rear-Seat Entertainment System5
in the GX enables two video sources to be viewed at the
same time. Using a single remote control, one can be
used, for instance, as a DVD player and the other as a
game console or audio player. Wireless headphones
are also graciously included, leaving the driver free to
enjoy something entirely different: silence.

PERFORMANCE

AT ITS BEST WHEN THINGS

ARE AT THEIR WORST.

Whether it’s a bouldery incline or a parallel-parking space that’s tighter than
you’d prefer, every day is filled with obstacles. Fortunately, the GX 460 is filled
with answers. To name a few: a suspension system that helps enhance your
capability on- and off-road, among the tightest turning circles in its class, and an
engine that delivers extraordinary power and remarkable fuel efficiency.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

On-road. Off-road. Suspension systems are typically designed for one or
the other. The notable exception: the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System
on the GX. On-road, the system can automatically hold the front and rear
stabilizer bars in place, helping to minimize body lean while cornering. And
off-road, it reacts to uneven surfaces by automatically adjusting the bars,
increasing wheel articulation. This helps the GX keep its wheels in contact
with the ground for improved traction and control.
