Height ranges from 73.8 inches in the Luxury trim, to 74.2 inches on the base model. Built with a shorter wheelbase than most rivals, the 109.8 inches between wheels is partly responsible for the sub-par ride comfort.

The GX's excellent off-road capabilities are by virtue of a 21-degree approach angle, a 23-degree departure angle and a break-over angle of 21 degrees.
