INFINITI QX80 VS LEXUS LX

Significantly more interior versatility and cargo space

When it comes to interior space, the 2024 INFINITI QX80 is definitely the winner when compared to the 2023 Lexus LX. With more than 100 extra millimetres of second-row legroom, passengers in the QX80 will have significantly more room to stretch out. There’s also more legroom for passengers in both the first and second rows in the QX80, making it a far more comfortable option. Additionally, cargo capacity is much greater in the QX80. In total, there’s nearly 800 litres more cargo space in the 2024 INFINITI QX80 compared to its Lexus counterpart, with nearly 160 litres more when all three rows are in use. If you’re looking for an SUV with plenty of room for passengers and luggage alike, then the INFINITI QX80 is certainly your best bet.

More for less

When it comes to pricing and value, the 2024 INFINITI QX80 offers a clear advantage over the Lexus LX. While the LX starts at $108,900, the QX80 is available for $90,139, a difference of over $20,000. However, this doesn’t mean buyers are sacrificing luxury or features when choosing the more affordable QX80. Both models come with advanced driver assistance features such as intelligent cruise control and lane departure warning with haptic steering wheel feedback for added safety and convenience on the road.

Connectivity technology is also impressive in both models, with the QX80 offering a 12.3-inch centre display with onboard Wi-Fi as standard. In terms of comfort amenities, there’s barely any difference between them: heated and ventilated front seats are standard on both premium SUVs as well as a heated steering wheel feature. However, there is one additional bonus that comes with selecting the INFINITI QX80: its predictive front-collision warning system that can detect two vehicles ahead for added safety.

Superior towing capacity

The 2024 INFINITI QX80 and the 2023 Lexus LX are both powerful, premium SUVs that feature impressive towing capacity. The QX80 offers a standard 5.6-litre V8 engine with 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, providing plenty of power to tow up to 8,500 pounds. The LX comes with a 3.5-litre turbocharged six-cylinder engine, which offers adequate power for towing up to 8,000 pounds. Both engines offer solid performance when it comes to hauling large amounts of weight, but the larger and more powerful V8 in the QX80 gives it an edge over the LX when it comes to towing capacity and overall performance.
