Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The GX's exterior has not been recently redesigned, and reviewers are generally indifferent toward its design. However, one particular feature that does not sit well with auto writers is the rear door, which opens like a normal car door instead of a hatch.

• "The GX 470 is a tall SUV with very Lexus-like styling (though the rear-end look is faintly reminiscent of the Mitsubishi Montero Sport). Color-keyed wheel arches and side molding help tone down the rugged truck-like exterior, as do the big headlamps and Lexus chrome grille." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "There's no argument that the GX 470 is a pretty SUV. This was a full-sized mama with curves in all the right places. The GX was big without being bulky or obnoxious, like some of the other huge SUVs on the road. Instead, it's softly rounded and delicately accessorized. The GX was way too classy to be dripping in chrome, which only appears on the front grille, door handles and in a single strip under the windows. The rest of the sparkle comes from a gorgeous metallic paint." -- Mother Proof
