Comparison Overview

Choosing between the 2025 INFINITI QX60 and the 2025 Lexus GX involves balancing initial cost against rugged capability and power. If your daily drive prioritizes efficiency and lower ownership costs, the QX60 is the immediate frontrunner, boasting a combined 24 MPG compared to the GX's 17 MPG. The QX60 also saves you $14,535 upfront, starting at $50,200 versus the GX's $64,735 MSRP.
