Lexus, renowned for its luxury vehicles, has teamed up with Malbon Golf to create a unique offering for golf aficionados: the 2024 Lexus GX 550 Malbon Edition. This special project vehicle reimagines the perfect day on the golf course, catering specifically to the needs of a foursome of golf enthusiasts who appreciate both luxury and adventure.
Nicole Peterson, manager of Lexus marketing, highlighted the collaborative spirit behind this model: “Through our collaboration with Malbon, we’ve built a GX that will deliver a golf outing to remember.” The Lexus GX 550 Malbon Edition is not just about getting to the golf course; it’s about enhancing the entire experience. From its distinctive custom fairway wrap to a cleverly designed pull-out storage box for golf equipment, and exclusive Malbon touches throughout, this GX redefines luxury and adventure specifically for the golf lover.
Stephen Malbon, co-founder of Malbon, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing community and fresh perspectives: “At Malbon, we’re focused on building a community that shares a collective vision while keeping things fresh and unexpected. We’re thrilled to introduce the Lexus GX 550 Malbon Edition—a vehicle that elevates the golfer’s experience by providing a dedicated home for both passengers and their equipment throughout the entire journey.”
This Lexus GX 550 Malbon Edition project vehicle stands out with its custom green fairway topographic body wrap, complemented by a clean white roof. Designed to comfortably seat up to four adults, the second row is configured with captain’s chairs, ensuring passenger comfort. Significantly, the third row has been replaced with a bespoke pull-out storage box. This dedicated space is engineered to house up to four golf bags, along with essentials like irons, golf balls, tees, shoes, and towels, keeping everything organized and accessible.
The collaboration’s branding is subtly yet distinctly applied. Malbon Golf logos are featured on the grille, front headrests, doorsill, and center console, creating a cohesive design language. Adding a playful touch, custom Malbon Buckets logo covers adorn the 22-inch alloy wheels, reinforcing the special edition’s unique identity.
For golfers carrying a full set, including longer clubs, the vehicle incorporates a Pelican™ BX140R Cargo Case mounted securely on a Prinsu® Roof Rack. To enhance the pre-game experience at any location, a Yakima® SlimShady Roof Mounted Awning is included, offering protection from both sun and rain before hitting the first tee.
The 2024 Lexus GX 550 Malbon Edition is scheduled to tour throughout 2024, making appearances at prestigious events including the Oregon Buckets Club Golf Tournament, IMSA Petit Le Mans, Buckets Club Tournament, and the Lexus Malbon Invitational.
Vehicle is a special project vehicle modified with non-Lexus parts that may void warranty, negatively impact safety, and not be street legal.
