The square-shaped headlights integrate the “L” shaped LED daytime running lights.
The Lexus GX 550 Premium standard version is equipped with LED headlights, fixed running boards, a power tailgate, a sunroof, and 20-inch wheels. In terms of interior, this version has a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, interior ambient lighting, and a 10-speaker sound system.

It also features wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera, and an additional pedestrian detection feature in the safety technology system.
The Lexus GX 550 Luxury adds welcome lights and 22-inch wheels. Inside, the car is equipped with semi-aniline leather seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. Moreover, the car also has sunshades for the second-row seats and integrated ambient lighting at the door sills.
The Lexus GX 550 Luxury+ is the most luxurious version, with power-adjustable running boards, a panoramic sunroof, digital rearview mirrors, a refrigerator, and a premium Mark Levinson 21-speaker sound system. In addition, the car also has a smoother operation thanks to the adaptive variable suspension system.
The two Overtrail versions are aimed at customers who enjoy off-road driving. The GX 550 Overtrail has the same equipment as the standard version, but it has a 5-seat interior configuration, NuLuxe upholstered seats, and integrated heating. In addition, the car is also equipped with black roof rails, a windshield wiper fluid defroster, a headlight washer system, and a 10-speaker sound system.
With a focus on off-road performance, the Lexus GX 550 Overtrail is equipped with 18-inch wheels paired with 33-inch off-road tires. Moreover, this version is also equipped with an electronically controlled rear differential lock, an adaptive variable suspension system, an E-KDSS electronic active kinetic dynamic suspension system, and hill start assist and hill descent control.
The GX 550 Overtrail+ has a similar configuration to the Overtrail version but focuses more on luxury. Specifically, the car is equipped with heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a power-folding third-row seat. In addition, this version also features power-assisted steering, a smart wireless phone charger, illuminated door sills, and sunshades for the second-row seats.
