Comparison Overview

The 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV ignites the segment with its commitment to hydrogen power, offering a novel refueling experience, though its 174 hp powertrain focuses purely on efficiency. Conversely, the 2025 INFINITI QX60 explodes off the line, boasting a robust 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, positioning it as the powerful choice. The CR-V e:FCEV is notably shorter at 187.6 inches, making it more maneuverable, while the QX60 offers superior gasoline-based range derived from its 22/28 MPG rating. The $50,000 MSRP gap is negligible against the substantial 94 hp performance difference, meaning buyers must choose between cutting-edge, low-emission tech and traditional, brute force acceleration.
