Why the Lexus GX Stands out as a Compelling Car of the Year Finalist
WHY THE LEXUS GX STANDS OUT AS A COMPELLING COTY FINALIST
Recognition – when it comes – should feel inevitable. The Lexus GX was never designed to chase attention. Instead, it is shaped by a deliberate philosophy of craftsmanship, refinement and authentic capability – a philosophy now affirmed through the GX’s inclusion among the finalists for the 2026 South African Car of the Year (COTY) awards, sponsored by Old Mutual Insure.
The 2026 SA COTY finalists represent a diverse cross-section of the local automotive market, ranging from accessible compact hatchbacks to family-focused lifestyle vehicles and high-performance SUVs. Together, they reflect the breadth of choice available to South African consumers across multiple price points. Within this context, the Lexus GX stands apart as a premium SUV defined not by excess, but by balance – delivering genuine off-road capability, refined luxury and everyday usability in equal measure.
Designed for those who seek to explore extraordinary places, the GX sets a new benchmark in the premium SUV segment. Whether navigating city streets or venturing far beyond them, it is engineered to inspire confidence and elevate every journey. With superior capability, considered design and Lexus’ Experience Amazing philosophy, the GX invites drivers to explore wherever the road may lead.
- The 2026 SA COTY winners will be announced at a gala event in Johannesburg during the first week of May. Until then, the Lexus GX’s place among the finalists stands as a clear endorsement of a vehicle conceived with clarity, engineered with restraint, and validated through experience.
