What Lexus GX do most buyers choose?

The Lexus GX years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price and equipment mix. They also sit close enough to the newest redesign to feel modern while still offering more value than the latest model year.

What is the Lexus GX's resale value?

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you are shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer years, while older examples are changing more slowly. That creates a useful spread of value across the lineup for buyers who want to balance price and age.

The 2014, 2018, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
