$50,200 · Crossover

$60,400 · SUV

Comparison Overview

Picking between a luxury crossover like the 2025 INFINITI QX60 and a full-size SUV like the 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe often comes down to size versus efficiency. If you're trying to balance premium amenities with reasonable running costs, this is a tough choice. The Tahoe offers significantly more muscle, boasting 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, compared to the QX60's 268 hp and 286 lb-ft. However, that power comes at a cost: the Tahoe drinks fuel, delivering a combined 17 MPG using regular unleaded, whereas the QX60 nets 24 MPG, though it requires premium fuel. Crucially, the Tahoe has a $10,200 higher starting MSRP of $60,400 versus the QX60's $50,200. While the Tahoe swallows more gear with 25.5 cu ft of cargo space, the QX60's smaller footprint (198.2 inches long) makes urban driving simpler.
