Lexus GX 470 Performance Overview
Positioned as a body-on-frame luxury SUV, the Lexus GX 470 was sold from 2003 to 2007, with performance data here drawn from 3 verified tests covering 2003 to 2007. All recorded examples fall within the J120 generation, powered by Toyota’s naturally aspirated 2UZ-FE V8 as output rose from 235 to 263 hp. Early testing placed the 2003 SUV at 7.7 seconds to 60 mph, with another 2003 run reaching 7.98 seconds, establishing the model’s initial acceleration baseline alongside quarter-mile results in the mid-15-second range.
By 2007, the same J120 formula had reached its quickest measured form. The 2007 SUV recorded the model’s best 0-60 time of 7.2 seconds and the fastest quarter-mile at 15.7 seconds at 88 mph, bringing the overall average to 7.63 seconds to 60 mph and 15.92 seconds at 85.9 mph through the quarter. Across the GX 470’s tested lifespan, performance remained consistent rather than transformational: one gasoline powertrain, one generation in the dataset, and a narrow spread between the slowest and fastest results. In that context, the final recorded 2007 figure of 7.2 seconds remains the benchmark for the model today.
