#REDIRECT [[Lexus GX]]
The '''Lexus GX 470''' is a mid-size [[SUV]] built in Tahara plant in Japan and sold only on the North American markets by [[Toyota]]'s luxury division, [[Lexus]]. It was introduced in November 2002 as a 2003 model as Lexus's true answer to the [[BMW X5]], [[Acura MDX]], [[Land Rover LR3]] and [[Porsche Cayenne]], and is visually almost identical to the current models of the [[Toyota Land Cruiser]] sold on the European markets.  It was released at the same time as the [[Infiniti FX45]], its competitor.
 
The 2005 GX 470s are powered by a 4.7 L, 32-valve, four-cam [[V8]] engine with 270 hp (201 kW) at 5,400 rpm and 330 ft·lbf (447 N·m) of torque at 3,400 rpm. This is also the largest engine that has ever been put into a Lexus.
 
The GX 470 has a welded steel body, an electronically controlled 5-speed [[automatic transmission]], a [[4 wheel drive]] system, and its interior offers a place for up to eight passengers.
 
This vehicle is a competent contender for serious off-roading while civilized enough for everyday driving.  The MSRP is averaged at about US $50,000. It has won various awards including 4-Wheeler of the Year from 4X4 Magazine. 
 
In the Lexus lineup, it is situated between the premium [[Lexus LX 470|LX 470]] and the entry-level luxury [[Lexus RX 330|RX 330]].
