Look at the first official photos of the all-new 2010 Lexus GX460 designed for U.S. market. The GX470 based on the 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser sold in Europe and other markets.

The cosmetic differences over the Toyota-badged model include the Lexus grille, reworked headlights and tail lamps, re-profiled bumpers and the chrome trimming on the side windows and lower door moldings.

The interior has been upgraded with a more luxurious trim while the instrument panel and center console design are unique to the Lexus model.

The Toyota has not disclosed any information on the new GX460, but the 2010 Lexus GX will be most likely be powered by Toyota’s new 4.6-liter V8 unit that makes 310-hp in the Tundra pickup. The current generation GX470 features a 4.7-liter V8 with 263HP.

The redesigned Lexus GX460 is due in U.S. showrooms in early 2010 year.

The new Lexus GX SUV will be launched this autumn. The next-generation GX will receive the 310-hp 4.6-liter V8 engine from the 2010 Tundra, giving it a useful boost over the larger 263-hp 4.7-liter in the current model. The new GX SUV will also benefit from a new interior (including a next-generation navigation system). Additionally, it will sport revised sheetmetal (different sheetmetal than 2009 model pictured above) and body panels including a different rear door assembly.

“The largest SUVs have been hit the hardest, but there’s still a segment of the population that wants those vehicles,” he tells during a media preview for the Lexus HS 250h sedan.
