New Black Line Special Edition package

Pros
Impressive off-road capability in a segment largely without it
High seating position provides a good view of the road
Easy-to-use interior controls

Cons
High floor and side-hinged cargo door can make it hard to load cargo
Uncomfortable seats

A Black Line Special Edition of the Lexus GX joins the lineup this year and comes with a host of blacked-out exterior trim, unique 18-inch wheels, a black interior headliner, and black faux-leather upholstery. The GX receives several new standard features for 2022, including a new, larger 10.3-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also newly standard this year is a parking assistant feature, in-dash navigation, and power-folding heated exterior mirrors. Lexus's desirable Nori Green paint color is now available as an option on the GX for the first time.

Pros
Able to tackle off-road trails,
plenty of standard driver-assistance features,
surprisingly hushed cabin.

Cons
Uncomfortable rear seats,
lacks cargo space with third row in use,
dated design.

Ford has made a few tweaks to its mid-size crossover for 2021, such as making heated seats standard on the XLT, offering a heated steering wheel as an optional feature on that model, and including an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger's seat on the Limited, ST, and Platinum models. A Sport Appearance package is now available on the XLT trim, and it includes 20-inch aluminum wheels that are coated in Carbonized Gray paint.

Pros
Smooth and controlled ride,
cargo friendly interior design,
comfortable front seats.

Cons
Third row space is tight,
plasticky interior bits,
most desirable models are pricey.
