2027 INFINITI QX65 vs. Lexus RX

The all-new 2027 INFINITI QX65 is the newest player in the luxury compact SUV segment. Its rivals include stalwarts such as the Lexus RX. Though it may be the new kid on the block, its towing and drivetrain, interior space, and infotainment elevate the INFINITI QX65 well above its competition. See how it matches up with its Lexus rival at Southwest INFINITI.

Towing and Drivetrain

Based on its immense curb appeal, you might question whether the 2027 INFINITI QX65 has a powerful side to match—and indeed it does, as shown in its massive tow rating of 6,000 lbs. That’s 71 percent more towing power than the 3,500 lbs offered by the Lexus RX. The INFINITI QX65 also comes with a dedicated Tow Mode drive setting, as well as an optional Technology package with a tow hitch and trailer-sway control.

Our Houston, TX, INFINITI dealers are also happy to report that the INFINITI QX65 comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and several selectable Terrain Modes. Contrarily, the Lexus RX offers standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive optional at an added cost.

Interior Space

Along with exceptional towing ability, the 2027 INFINITI QX65 boasts a spacious cabin for both passengers and cargo. Climb inside this new INFINITI SUV and you’ll find class-leading front-row legroom of 44.2 inches—considerably more than the 41.1 inches in the Lexus RX. The INFINITI QX65 also offers 59.6 inches of second-row shoulder room, compared to 56.5 inches in its Lexus rival. Cargo space tells a similar story: the 2027 INFINITI QX65 maxes out at 67.7 cubic feet, against 46.2 cubic feet in the Lexus RX.

Infotainment

On the infotainment side, there are two telling differences between these two compact luxury SUVs. The first is standard touchscreen size: whereas the 2027 INFINITI QX65 integrates a 12.3-inch touchscreen, the standard display in the Lexus RX measures 9.8 inches. The second difference is that the INFINITI QX65 comes with Google Built-in™, including apps such as Google Maps™ and Google Play™. You can also download native apps like Spotify® and Waze®. This comprehensive platform is not offered on the Lexus RX.
