The 2025 Lexus GX, also known as the GX 550, blends roomy interior space with top-notch comfort across various seating layouts. If you and your family live in El Monte, California, the chances are that you’ll need an SUV that handles daily driving yet still packs well for weekend trips to the mountains. This review breaks down what you’ll find across all rows, how much you can carry in it, and why the GX’s interior works so well for both families and outdoor enthusiasts.
2025 Lexus GX Interior Space: A Comprehensive Layout Overview
The 2025 GX comes in six trims: the Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, Overtrail, and Overtrail+, with each one tweaking the seating setup differently. The Premium, Premium+, Luxury, and Luxury+ use three rows to fit up to seven people comfortably while giving you 76.9 cubic feet for cargo when the seats are down.
The Overtrail and Overtrail+ models have just two rows to seat five people but nearly double the storage space at 90.5 cubic feet with the seats down. Adventurers love this setup since it trades people space for gear storage, perfect for weekend trips to Joshua Tree National Park with tons of camping gear. If you have a boat or trailer, the Overtrail and Overtrail+ have full-time four-wheel drive (4WD) and can pull up to 9,096 pounds.
Front Row Cabin Space and Comfort Features
Up front, the 2025 Lexus GX cabin space gives drivers 39.4 inches of headroom, 41.2 inches for legs, 59.5 inches across the shoulders, and 56.5 inches at the hips. Base models come with NuLuxe-trimmed seats that adjust eight ways, plus heating and cooling to keep your backside comfy. If you opt for the Luxury trim, you’ll get semi-aniline leather seats that adjust 10 ways.
Higher trims add massage functions that feel amazing after a long day, plus memory settings that recall your perfect position. The dash sports a 14-inch touch screen that works with a 12.3-inch digital gauge display.
The middle console has a large dial for drive modes plus buttons for 4WD, crawl settings, and tow mode. Two cup holders keep your drinks secure on bumpy trails. Your phones stay charged with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus six USB ports (four in Overtrail models) and Wi-Fi hot spot capability.
Second Row Seating Space and Flexibility
The middle row is roomy with 43.2 inches overhead, 36.7 inches for legs, 57.2 inches at the shoulders, and 56.4 inches for hips. For seating, you can choose between captain’s chairs or a 60/40-split bench. Captain’s chairs lower your total to six passengers but create a first-class feel with better third-row access. The bench keeps all seven seats if you need them.
Your second-row riders get heated seats on the outer positions, a fold-down armrest, and pull-up sunshades to block the sun. Some versions offer heated captain’s chairs through packages such as the available Cold Area Package on Premium and Luxury models. The seats recline, and flip-forward access makes getting to the back row a cinch.
Third Row Practicality and Adult Accommodation
The third row of the Lexus GX gives you 35.5 inches of headroom, 37.9 inches of legroom, 57.8 inches across the shoulders, and 45.3 inches at the hips. GX Premium+ models come with power-folding third-row seats that flip down at the touch of a button. The seats stow easily when you need more storage space.
Cargo Space Configurations and Measurements
The 2025 Lexus GX cargo space provides flexible storage options. Three-row models start with 10.3 cubic feet behind the last row — enough for groceries or a couple of overnight bags. Fold row three, and you get 40.2 cubic feet; drop both rear rows for 76.9 cubic feet total. Two-row Overtrail models have 45.6 cubic feet behind row two and 90.5 cubic feet with everything folded.
Loading got easier with the new power liftgate that replaced the old side-swinging door. Most models add a kick sensor so you can open the back when your hands are full. There’s also a separate window that pops open for grabbing small items without opening the whole back. New for 2025, you’ll find an air compressor in the cargo area for filling up tires after off-road fun.
Interior Materials and Space Perception
The GX cabin feels tough but classy, mixing soft surfaces with silver trim and black grained accents. You can choose between semi-aniline leather or NuLuxe (Lexus’s synthetic leather). Color combinations such as Saddle Tan NuLuxe with Brown Grained trim or Black semi-aniline leather with Black Grained trim let you match your style.
The Luxury+ trim comes with a Dynamic Sky panorama glass roof that makes the cabin feel like an open-air lounge. Other models come with a standard moonroof and roof rails that still give you that connection to the outdoors. Mood lighting adds a nice touch after dark, making evening drives more pleasant.
