I’ve driven both models extensively and found that the GX 470’s engine has significantly more power. The extra torque makes a difference in off-road conditions.

I agree, but the GX 460 is more fuel-efficient, which makes it a better option for daily commuting. Just something to consider!

That’s true! Plus, I found the 460 to be quieter on highways, which was a big plus for my family trips.

What about handling? I’ve noticed the GX 470 feels more stable, especially in turns.

7

Totally! The suspension on the 470 really helps during sharp turns compared to the 460’s softer ride.

8

I’ve driven both models in snow, and while the 470 was great, the 460’s control was surprisingly impressive too.

9

I had a similar experience! But can we talk about how the 470 handles mud? It’s a beast!

10

Well, I once got stuck in the mud with the 460. It wasn’t a pretty sight! So, the 470 definitely has my vote for off-road adventures.

11

Both SUVs have their merits. The 460 is more suited for urban driving, whereas the 470 shines in rugged environments. It really depends on your lifestyle.

12

Exactly! I love how versatile the 470 is; it feels at home in both city streets and wild trails.

13

Has anyone taken both SUVs on long road trips? I’m curious about comfort levels and cargo space for a family.

14

Yes! The 460 was quite comfortable for our family, but I felt the 470 has more room for luggage.

15

I have to admit, the infotainment system in both models is a bit dated. Can we all agree on that?

16

Haha, yes! Perhaps it’s time they visited the tech lab. Might be my only complaint about an otherwise great SUV.

I’ve been researching the GX 460 and GX 470. The 460 seems to have a more modern interior design, while the 470 has classic touches that some might prefer. Comfort-wise, both are great, but the 460 may edge out due to newer materials used.

18

That’s exactly what I noticed too! The infotainment system in the 460 is much more user-friendly compared to the 470’s. It really enhances the overall driving experience.

19

While the GX 460 has newer tech, the GX 470’s comfort is unparalleled. I feel like it’s all about balancing modern features against classic luxury. Which do you value more in your SUV?

20

Absolutely! I would say if you’re looking for advanced tech, the 460 is the winner. But if you want that plush, traditional feel, the 470 is hard to beat.
