Luxury Midsize SUV Crossover

2026 Infiniti QX60 vs. 2026 Lexus TX Comparison

Infiniti and Lexus both specialize in vehicles that are as luxurious as they are practical. This is especially true of their midsize 3-row SUV offerings: the Infiniti QX60 and Lexus TX. They have a lot in common on the surface, but you’ll want to know about their respective highlights to determine which is a better fit for you and your family. Let’s take a closer look.

2026 Infiniti QX60

The attractive and well-equipped Infiniti QX60 is the brand’s midsize SUV option, slotted below the full-size QX80, and it gets a nice refresh for 2026. For families who need a practical 3-row SUV and have the budget for a luxury vehicle, the QX60 is one of the top options.

Infiniti QX60 Highlights

Lower price tag: The Infinit QX60 has a lower starting price than the Lexus TX to the tune of about $4,500. Regardless of whether you’re financing, leasing, or buying outright, the Infiniti is a more accessible luxury SUV to a wider range of buyers.

Zero Gravity seats: Infiniti’s Zero Gravity seats, inspired by NASA’s research on weightlessness, were carefully engineered to minimize fatigue, enhancing the luxurious experience. We’ve found them to be some of the more comfortable seats in this class for long road trips.

Great safety scores: Favorable crash test scores have earned the Infiniti QX60 the coveted Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an award the Lexus TX hasn’t earned. This is a big deal for families who prioritize safety above all else.

2026 Lexus TX

Although Lexus has been offering compelling luxury SUVs for decades now, the TX is a relative newcomer in the midsize 3-row class. It has quickly jumped toward the top of the sales rankings in its competitive class by delivering everything we love about the Lexus brand in the form of a roomy and family-friendly SUV. Here are just a few of its strengths.

Lexus TX Highlights

Bigger interior: For families who will actually use that third row of seats regularly, way-back passengers will appreciate the accommodating space in the Lexus TX. Compared to the Infiniti, the Lexus has an extra 5.5 inches of third-row legroom, plus a whopping 39 percent more cargo room behind the third row.

Hybrid options: The Lexus TX offers multiple hybrid options, whereas the Infiniti QX60 offers none. The TX 500h delivers both pep and efficiency, with 366 horsepower and 27 combined mpg. Meanwhile, an available plug-in hybrid powertrain can travel up to 33 miles on electricity alone and offers even more power.

Better resale value: Lexus is a perennial winner of our Best Resale Value award for a luxury brand. To wit, the TX boasts above-average resale value, while the QX60’s resale value is merely average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.
