3 Reasons Why the 2025 Lexus GX Masters Canadian Winter Driving

Canadian winters demand more from our vehicles than any other season. The 2025 Lexus GX has proven itself exceptionally well-suited for tackling Ontario's harshest winter conditions, from snow-covered highways to icy urban streets.

• Confidence-Inspiring Winter Performance  

At the heart of the 2025 GX's winter prowess lies its newly developed 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 engine. Delivering 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, this powerplant provides steady, predictable acceleration that's crucial for winter driving. The twin-turbo design ensures immediate response at lower speeds, particularly beneficial when navigating slippery conditions.

The GX's full-time four-wheel-drive system, paired with a Torsen limited-slip locking centre differential, delivers optimal traction in varying winter conditions. The new GA-F platform increases body rigidity and improves handling, creating a stable foundation that's particularly valuable when roads are less than ideal.

• Advanced Safety Systems for Winter Driving  

Winter driving safety starts with visibility and control. The 2025 GX comes equipped with auto-levelling triple-beam LED headlamps featuring integrated washers, ensuring clear visibility during heavy snow. The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 includes features particularly valuable for winter driving, such as Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and All-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.

The new multi-link rear suspension system works in concert with the double-wishbone front suspension to maintain consistent road contact, while the electronic power steering system provides precise feedback - crucial for detecting changes in road conditions. The Blind Spot Monitor system with Rear Cross Traffic Alert proves invaluable when visibility is compromised by snow or sleet.

• Premium Winter Comfort Features

The GX's winter-ready interior ensures comfort during the coldest days. Standard heated front seats and steering wheel quickly warm up during cold starts, while available heated second-row seats extend this comfort to rear passengers. The three-zone independent automatic climate control system maintains ideal cabin temperatures, with thoughtful touches like heated side mirrors and a rear window defroster ensuring all-around visibility.

The new horizontal instrument panel design enhances forward visibility, particularly beneficial when navigating through snow. The cabin's increased storage space proves practical for winter gear, while the power rear lift door with hands-free operation makes loading easier when your hands are full of winter equipment.
