INFINITI QX60 vs Lexus RX

When it comes to premium midsize SUVs, the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX consistently draw attention. Both offer a refined driving experience, elevated design, and a long list of advanced features that appeal to families and professionals alike.

If you’re weighing your options, a closer look at each model's features can help you find the perfect fit. At Priority INFINITI, serving Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, Virginia, we can help with that. Dive into our comparison between the INFINITI QX60 and the Lexus RX, so you can add value to your decision.

Room for Everyone: Seating Capacity

If you have a family in the 757, you’ve probably run into this scenario: two kids, a friend or two, maybe a parent visiting from out of town—and suddenly five seats just don’t cut it. The INFINITI QX60 comes standard with three rows and room for up to seven people. That includes an adult-friendly space in the back, not just a folded seat you pretend counts.

Now look at the Lexus RX. The standard model only seats five. To get a third row, you have to opt for the RX L or RX 500h+, which bumps up the price and still doesn’t offer much room. The third row in those models is tight, and even Lexus admits it’s better suited for kids (or adults you don’t like that much).

Here’s the difference: the QX60 treats that third row like it matters. The seats are usable, the access is easier, and the extra space gives you flexibility—whether you’re picking up neighbors for school drop-off or taking a couple of cousins out to Sandbridge for the day.

Towing Capacity

Plenty of folks near Chesapeake and Virginia Beach tow something—kayaks, pop-up campers, or even a lightweight trailer. If that’s you, the INFINITI QX60 offers something the RX just can’t match: 6,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. That’s enough for a medium-sized boat or a family camper, without needing a pickup.

The Lexus RX? It tops out at 3,500 pounds. That’s a big gap. You could haul a small trailer or a couple of jet skis—but you’d be stretching the limit. And that’s not the position you want to be in when you’re heading toward the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on a windy Saturday morning.

Standard Features That Actually Feel Luxurious

A lot of luxury SUVs make you pay extra for the good stuff. That’s especially true with the panoramic moonroof. It’s a feature that changes the feel of the cabin—more light, more openness, and a better view, whether you’re driving through the Blue Ridge or just waiting in the drive-thru line.

The INFINITI QX60 offers the panoramic moonroof as standard equipment on more trims. That means you don’t have to buy the most expensive model just to enjoy a better cabin. The materials inside—like quilted leather and wood trim—also carry that upscale feel across the lineup.

By contrast, the Lexus RX often reserves features like the moonroof for upper trims or bundles them into premium packages. So while the base price might look similar on paper, the QX60 usually gives you more comfort and convenience features right out of the gate.
