2025 INFINITI QX50 vs. 2025 Lexus NX: Complete Comparison

If you're shopping for a compact luxury SUV in 2025, chances are the INFINITI QX50 and Lexus NX are already on your radar — and rightly so. Both are stylish, feature-packed, and tailored for modern drivers who want more than just a ride from point A to B. But while they share the spotlight, their approach to power, comfort, and tech has some exciting differences. Let’s take a closer look at how these two SUVs stack up — side by side.

Build & Price your own 2025 INFINITI QX50

Designed to Perform and Engineered to Impress

The QX50 delivers solid power with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that puts out 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, offering strong response and confident highway merging. On the other hand, the NX starts with a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated engine producing 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, which offers smooth handling but less punch unless you move up to higher trims or hybrid variants. Both SUVs offer all-wheel drive options, but the QX50 includes Intelligent AWD across all trims, making it well-suited for Canadian winters.

Crafted Interiors That Feel First-Class

Step into the QX50 and you're welcomed by a refined space wrapped in premium materials, including available semi-aniline leather seating and a dual-display infotainment setup that blends function with style. Over in the NX, the cabin feels equally upscale with sleek surfaces, a large centre touchscreen, and optional features like a panoramic moonroof. While both provide a 5-passenger layout, the QX50 edges ahead with slightly more rear-seat legroom and cargo space, giving it a more flexible cabin for everyday errands or weekend getaways.

Tech That Connects, Protects, and Delivers

When it comes to connectivity, both models tick the boxes — you’ll find Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, wireless charging, and customizable drive modes. The QX50 features a dual touchscreen interface, while the NX sports a more consolidated single-screen setup, which some may find simpler to use. On the audio front, both offer premium sound systems, including available BOSE® in the QX50 and Mark Levinson® in the NX, catering to those who want their playlists crisp and immersive.

Safety Built Right Into the Drive

Safety isn’t optional in this class — it’s expected. The QX50 comes standard with Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and ProPILOT Assist, a semi-autonomous driving feature that’s perfect for stop-and-go traffic. The NX counters with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which includes features like Lane Departure Alert, Pre-Collision System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Both bring intelligent systems designed to keep drivers protected — the difference lies in how each tech package supports your daily driving rhythm.
