I just drove the off-road version the GX 550 Overtrail.

“The starting price for this model is $122,250 plus on-roads, targeting off-road enthusiasts and incorporating specific features such as:”

• 18-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tyres
• unique off-road enhanced front and rear bumpers,
• black wheelarch mouldings and other external bling
• Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS)
• Electronic-Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (eKDSS) for the perfect balance of off-road driveability and on-road handling stability.

Powered by a  a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, The Lexus GX has available 260kW of power and 650Nm of torque. The GX550 also comes with full-time all-wheel drive system with a locking centre differential and low-range gearing. This car is equipped with a DirectShift 10-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

The Overtrail has an integrated tow hitch and a 3500kg capacity.

On e thing I do like is the slightly unusual design. It’s a little different and bold which certainly held appeal from onlookers.

2021 Lexus IS 300 Luxury exterior front quarterWith the increasing demand for SUV s in Australia, cars like the Lexus IS 300 are often overlooked which is a shame as it’s a pretty good car.

Five ‘Lexus firsts’ in Australia become standard on all grades, including:

• intersection turning assist,
• emergency steering assist,
• automated collision notification,
• SOS call and
• Stolen vehicle tracking.

Lexus IS 300 Luxury External

The overall look has a low and wide stance, with sleek styling, almost coupe like, slimmer headlights and a lower, sharper side character line that enhances the sleek profile.

In Lexus own words – Gently sloped rear-quarter pillars, which help form a sleek cabin silhouette that wraps around from the sides, contrast with muscular rear guards to create a fast and aggressive look. New 18 inch alloys are better.

At the rear the most noticeable design feature are the single-blade rear combination lights sporting an “L” motif and a sharper overall contour created by the character line around the boot lid.

Overall it’s actually a good looking sedan
