Prado Vs Lexus GX470
Last Updated: 18 October 2009

I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the Lexus GX 470.

Warning - you may be seeing double - because both the Prado and GX are based on the same body and platform.  It can be assumed that Toyota designed the basics with both brands in mind.

The main difference between the 2 models is the V8 engine in the Lexus GX.  Lexus has only one version and it comes with almost everything.  Strangely there are options like Mark Levinson entertainment system and the latest Kinetic suspension system.

Minor differences includes some exterior changes however it is limited to the bonnet and the bumpers. The exterior tyre holder is also missing moved to where the Prado has the larger fuel tank.
 

In terms of drive system its basically the same - so it's got all the various traction aids and of cause presumably the same characteristics as the top range Prado Grande.

There are also quite a few new interior equipment upgrades compared to the even the top range Prado. Nice if you can get one!

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories. You should check the official Lexus  website for your country for the most up to date information.
