Default 2014 GX460 with Alligator Seats & Ford Tail Lights

Just got back from the dealer, the 2014 GX460 premium is same price as 2013 premium. No Lux models. 63.4K for Premium. Personally I find it ugly. My 08 is so much better. Check out the alligator leather seats and the Ford tail lamps. The GX has always been my favorite vehicle because of the air ride suspension, but the 2014 is just trying to be so many things, it just doesn't work in my opinion.

Thanks for some large real life pics. I actually think the front end on the '14 looks pretty good in a dark color. The back bumper looks great. There is a pic of a white one in another thread and I didn't think it looked that great like I thought it would.

As for the $63.5k price, how did it get that high? It must have a ton of options because it was supposed to be about $4k less since it comes standard with most of the prior year options with the only real difference being the power third row seats. Also, from the looks of the leather, that does not appear to be the semi-aniline leather. The sticker on my premium '12 was $66k so something doesn't sound right.

Thanks for the pics. And your dealer must be confused/uninformed. That price sounds like it should be for the Luxury model, not the Premium. For 2014, the Premium model is about $53k and the Luxury model is about $62k. Yes the Luxury model is available for 2014, and it has air suspension. Check the Lexus website.

The graining difference on the seats is interesting. I wonder if the design/comfort of the seats has changed for 2014...??

I liked the tail lights from the first pics they released, but in that harsh lighting and the high contrast with the black paint in your photos, it doesn't look super-hot.

That doesn't seem like a Luxury model based on the chrome trim on the rear window and the color of the wheels (similar to '12 and '13 wheel color difference on base vs. premium). Plus the Luxury should come with semi-aniline leather which this definitely isn't.

Yes, you are correct. If this was the Luxury model, the wheels would be darker and the chrome trim on the rear window would continue upward around the curve. This is a Premium model for sure.

I like it, they finally gave it the bling it deserved. I know its not popular to say, but the GX is a big bad **** of an SUV and other companies (Infiniti and Mercedes) SUVS really stand out. They accomplished their goal I think.

Correct. That is one of the initial press pics, all of which were of that gray Luxury model.

Your first window sticker is a Luxury model. The Premium doesn't have air suspension or Mark Levinson stereo.

^^ Exactly.

What is strange on the second window sticker is that it has wireless headphones. I didn't think someone would get those without rear seat entertainment.

GXDUDE--thats the sticker is for a Luxury model cause of air suspension!! You Cannot get air suspension on anything but "Luxury" Model.

That black looks terrible with those rear tail lights--I think the White or Silver with black interior is the way Im gonna go.

Im liking all these real life pictures Cant wait till they make it to Alaska, they are always 2-3 weeks behind the states lol
