INFINITI QX60 vs Lexus RX | Side-by-Side Comparison
The INFINITI QX60 and Lexus RX both target buyers seeking midsize luxury with three-row seating. The QX60 starts at $51,590 with a 2.0L VC-Turbo I4 producing 268 hp. The Lexus RX 350 starts at $50,525 with a 2.4L turbo I4 delivering 275 hp. They’re closely matched in price, power, and capability – but differ in value proposition and service experience.
Power & Performance
The QX60’s 2.0L VC-Turbo I4 delivers 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque. The Lexus RX 350’s 2.4L turbo I4 produces 275 hp and comparable torque. The difference is marginal – a few horsepower for negligible real-world impact. Both engines are turbocharged, efficient, and provide adequate acceleration for suburban and highway driving. Neither feels quick, but both deliver responsive power when needed.
Three-Row Seating
The QX60 seats 7 passengers across three rows. The Lexus RX 350 seats 5-8 depending on configuration. Both offer optional third-row seating, but the QX60’s three-row design is standard, making it more family-friendly if you need that capacity regularly. The Lexus RX Hybrid variants also available provide better fuel economy if that’s a priority.
Pricing & Value
The QX60 starts at $51,590. The RX 350 starts at $50,525 – essentially the same entry price. For similar money, you get nearly identical power and capability. The real value difference emerges when you consider INFINITI of Boerne’s service commitment: 70+ loaner vehicles, valet service within 100 miles, and complimentary washing. The Lexus dealer in San Antonio won’t match that local advantage.
Interior & Luxury
Both vehicles deliver premium leather, modern design, and thoughtful ergonomics. The Lexus RX feels slightly more refined and spacious in the cabin. The QX60 delivers comparable luxury with a more intimate, Japanese-precision aesthetic. Neither compromises on quality. Choose based on interior style preference rather than quality concerns.
Fuel Economy
The QX60 returns 21 mpg city, 27 highway, 24 combined (FWD). The RX 350 achieves 22 city, 29 highway, 25 combined (FWD). The Lexus edges ahead marginally. If you want optimal efficiency, the RX Hybrid (24-28 combined) is the smart choice, though it costs more.
Reliability & Service
Both brands deliver excellent reliability. INFINITI’s turbocharged engines have proven track records. Lexus’s engines are equally dependable. The advantage: INFINITI of Boerne is a JD Power 2026 Dealer of Excellence – the first in Texas. We offer 70+ loaner vehicles, valet pickup and delivery within 100 miles, and complimentary washing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a real difference between 268 hp and 275 hp?
In real-world driving, no. The 7 hp difference is imperceptible. Both engines deliver adequate acceleration for merging, passing, and highway driving. Neither vehicle feels underpowered. You’ll experience similar performance from both options.
Does the QX60’s three-row seating feel spacious?
The third row is suitable for children and shorter adults on short trips. For regular family use with adults in the third row, space is tight. Both the QX60 and RX offer similar third-row legroom. If you need truly spacious three-row seating, consider the QX80 instead.
Which gets better fuel economy?
The Lexus RX 350 edges the QX60 slightly (25 mpg combined vs. 24 mpg). The difference is negligible over your ownership period. If fuel economy is critical, the RX Hybrid achieves 26-28 mpg combined, but costs more. The QX60’s turbocharged efficiency is competitive.
