Gx 460 vs 470: Which SUV Should I Choose?

I think both models have something unique to offer. The 460’s tech features like Apple CarPlay are a step up. But then again, the 470’s seating comfort feels like you’re lounging in a recliner. Tough choice!

Honestly, tech features are essential for me! The smoother interface in the GX 460’s infotainment system makes it easier for family trips. Anyone prefer the navigation in the 470?

Indeed! Plus, the sound system in the 460 is top-notch! Makes long drives much more enjoyable. Anyone else felt the difference?

I actually found the 470’s navigation more intuitive. It’s less flashy but gets the job done without distracting you!

Both models have great interiors, but the 460 has a better layout for rear passengers. There’s more legroom and visibility, which is a big plus for families.

Good point! Families definitely benefit from extra space. Is it just me, or does the 470 feel a bit cramped back there?

Cramped is right! Sometimes, I feel like I’m trying to escape a bear trap when getting out of the 470’s back seat. The 460 really wins there.

Haha! True! But let’s give the 470 some credit for having a tougher build. It may not be as comfy, but it handles rough terrains like a champ.

Definitely, off-road capability is a strong point for the 470. However, for daily driving and comfort, the 460 is my go-to. Anyone else feel stuck choosing between these two?

Wouldn’t that be perfect, @lisa95? The best of both worlds! But I guess that’s what makes our decision so interesting. It comes down to personal needs and preferences.

I’m torn, honestly! The 470 exudes classic luxury, while the 460 feels like it’s designed for the tech-savvy. Can’t we just have both?

I’ve owned both models, and I have to say the GX 470 has slightly better reliability. It’s also easier and cheaper to maintain than the 460 overall.

Interesting! I’ve heard that the GX 460 has more advanced features which might be worth it despite the maintenance costs. Any thoughts on that?

The GX 470 is a workhorse! It can handle tough terrains without much fuss. But it’s worth noting that parts can be harder to find as it’s an older model.

That’s good to know! What about long-term costs? Are they significantly different?

Long-term costs for the GX 460 can be steep due to tech-related repairs. My friend spent a fortune. While the GX 470’s got fewer high-tech components giving it an edge in repairs.

I totally agree! I’ve had nothing but issues with the GX 460’s infotainment system. Just a headache!

When considering reliability, it’s crucial to check service history and regular maintenance. Both models can be reliable with the right upkeep.

That’s solid advice! How about the ride comfort? Is there a noticeable difference?

Oh, for sure! The GX 460 feels a bit more luxurious and has a smoother ride which is great for long trips. The 470 is still comfortable but not as refined.
