Verdict
The RM50,000 step from the RM780,000 Lexus GX GX550 Overtrail to the RM830,000 Lexus GX GX550 Luxury+ does not buy extra pace: both use a 349 hp/650 Nm 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6, 10-speed automatic and AWD, reaching 100 km/h in 7.0 seconds. It buys seven seats, 22-inch wheels and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson system. Yet the five-seat Overtrail has 1,063 litres of boot space against 171 litres, and weighs 3,110 kg versus 3,175 kg. Choose on passenger capacity and audio, not mechanicals.
Pick the Lexus GX GX550 Overtrail if you need its 1,063-litre boot and can live with five seats and the 10-speaker Pioneer system.
Pick the Lexus GX GX550 Luxury+ if carrying seven people and hearing its 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio matter more than boot volume.
