Models like the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX come with high expectations for how they look and feel. While the QX60 offers three rows with seating for up to seven (or six with available second-row captain's chairs) and the RX seats just five across two rows, both make a refined impression with premium materials and unmistakable appeal.
From first looks to lasting impressions, both the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX project a strong sense of luxury on the road, although they interpret modern design differently. The QX60 features a low, wide stance with flowing curves based on the brand's "Artistry in Motion" design philosophy, and an origami-inspired grille with a bamboo-like visual texture, while the RX takes on a more sharply angular, sculpted profile for an athletic appearance.
The QX60 also expands expression through a broader palette, offering nearly twice as many available options, including Deep Emerald and Grand Blue, along with available two-tone combinations not offered on the RX. Both models feature LED headlights, signature daytime running lights, and LED taillamps for a contemporary lighting signature. However, only the INFINITI QX60 enhances the arrival experience with the available INFINITI Light Path, which gently illuminates the ground as you approach, adding an additional layer of welcome.
Inside the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX, premium materials and upscale amenities create a welcoming atmosphere. Both luxury SUVs offer:
Still, the INFINITI QX60 adds several advantages. Its panoramic moonroof comes standard, while the Lexus RX reserves it for select trims. The QX60 also offers an available Smart Rearview Mirror, allowing for a clearer view behind the vehicle, even when passengers or cargo block the rear window.
Comfort extends beyond luxury finishes and furnishings to the space surrounding every passenger. Even when comparing only the first and second rows, the INFINITI QX60 provides more room in nearly every key measurement, including passenger space and cargo capacity.

| Lexus RX | 39.5/38.6 in. | 41.1/37.4 in. | 46.2/29.6 cu. ft. |
The result is a more accommodating environment for passengers and cargo alike, especially for drivers who value flexibility along with comfort.
Another expectation of a luxury vehicle is technology that feels intuitive in everyday driving. With advanced infotainment and driver-assist features, the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX help keep you connected, informed, and protected on the road. Still, one model includes more of these premium features as standard equipment.
When it comes to infotainment, the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX begin on similar footing. Both SUVs offer 12.3-inch touchscreens, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, premium audio systems, and available Wi-Fi connectivity.
While both include voice-command capability for added convenience behind the wheel, the QX60 raises the experience with standard Voice Recognition with Natural Language Understanding. This system supports more conversational interaction, making it easier to adjust settings, place calls, or find destinations without relying on rigid voice prompts.
The INFINITI QX60 also includes several premium features as standard equipment that either require an upgrade or unavailable in the Lexus RX:
Additionally, the QX60 includes standard Personalized Sound, which tailors audio settings to your individual hearing profile for a more customized listening experience.
Safety remains a top priority for both INFINITI and Lexus, which is why the QX60 and the RX come equipped with advanced suites of driver-assistance technologies. Both models include features such as Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, available Intelligent Cruise Control, and more for added confidence on the road.
However, only the INFINITI QX60 includes standard Predictive Forward Collision Warning, which monitors up to two vehicles ahead instead of focusing solely on the vehicle directly in front of you. This added awareness can provide earlier alerts in changing traffic conditions.
The QX60 also introduces advanced parking technologies designed to simplify maneuvering in tight spaces:
While these features come standard on three of the QX60's four trims, none are offered on the Lexus RX.
Of course, another central expectation is how reliably your vehicle performs on the road. Drivers want the confidence that their SUV feels both responsive and efficient in everyday travel. Once again, the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX share several similarities, making their distinctions even more meaningful. After all, true luxury is often found in the finer details.
The INFINITI QX60's 2.0L VC-Turbo engine and the Lexus RX's 2.4L turbocharged engine each produce more than 265 horsepower and come standard with front-wheel drive, with available all-wheel drive for added assurance. However, the QX60 pairs its engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission and five drive modes, compared to the RX and its 8-speed transmission with four selectable drive modes.
Capability extends beyond acceleration to the versatility your SUV brings to everyday travel. Here, the INFINITI QX60 has a noticeable advantage.
That additional 2,500 pounds of towing capability is supported by standard Trailer Sway Control and an available Tow Mode, features not offered on the Lexus RX.
When it comes to efficiency, the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX post nearly identical standard EPA-estimated fuel ratings: 22 city/28 highway MPG for the QX60 and 22 city/29 highway MPG for the RX.* The INFINITI QX60 complements those figures with a larger fuel tank than the Lexus RX, allowing for longer driving range between stops and fewer interruptions along the way.
Both models are designed with aerodynamics in mind to help reduce drag and maintain efficiency at highway speeds. That said, only the INFINITI QX60 features active front grille shutter technology, which automatically adjusts airflow to optimize efficiency when full cooling performance is not required.
While the Lexus RX has a sport-leaning character, the INFINITI QX60 rises above to exceed expectations with greater capability, advanced standard features, and a more versatile luxury experience.
