2027 INFINITI QX60 vs 2027 BMW X5

The 2027 INFINITI QX60 and 2027 BMW X5 approach midsize luxury SUV ownership differently. The QX60 starts at an MSRP of $57,290 and provides three rows of seating, while BMW describes the X5 as a two row SUV for up to five adults. BMW publishes 394 horsepower for the 2027 X5 40 xDrive, compared with up to 268 horsepower for the QX60.

QX60 vs BMW X5 Starting Price

Price creates one of the clearest differences between these two luxury SUVs. INFINITI publishes a starting MSRP of $57,290 for the 2027 QX60 LUXE.

BMW currently lists the X5 lineup with a starting MSRP of $68,300. Exact pricing depends on model and configuration.

That places the QX60 at a considerably lower entry point while also giving buyers a standard three row vehicle layout.

2027 INFINITI QX60 Trim Pricing

2027 QX60 Trim	Starting MSRP
LUXE	$57,290
SPORT	$62,390
AUTOGRAPH	$67,585

Those are the starting MSRPs published directly on the official 2027 QX60 page supplied for this comparison. Exact drivetrain configurations, destination charges and vehicle pricing should be reviewed for the individual vehicle.

Three Rows in the QX60, Two Rows in the X5

Passenger layout may settle this comparison immediately for some shoppers.

INFINITI identifies the 2027 QX60 as a three row luxury crossover SUV. That additional row gives families more flexibility when children, relatives, friends or additional passengers need to come along.

BMW states that the X5 accommodates up to five adults and does not have a third row. BMW directs shoppers who specifically need three rows toward the larger X7.

QX60 Seating Options

The QX60 SPORT adds standard second row captain’s chairs. That creates a different cabin arrangement for buyers who prefer easier movement between the second and third rows or separate second row seating.

AUTOGRAPH adds quilted semi aniline leather appointed first and second row seating along with massaging first row seats.

The BMW X5 remains the better fit for buyers who know they only need two rows and would rather devote the vehicle’s design to five passenger comfort and cargo space.

Performance, QX60 vs BMW X5

The BMW has a substantial horsepower advantage.

INFINITI publishes up to 268 horsepower and up to 286 lb ft of torque from the QX60 VC Turbo engine.

BMW publishes 394 horsepower for the 2027 X5 40 xDrive and a manufacturer estimated 0 to 60 mph time of 5.1 seconds.

For drivers who put acceleration and outright output high on their shopping list, the X5 has the stronger manufacturer published numbers.

The QX60 takes a different approach. Its powertrain is paired with the passenger flexibility of a three row crossover and a substantially lower starting MSRP.

All Wheel Drive and Everyday Driving

The 2027 QX60 offers available Intelligent All Wheel Drive. INFINITI also pairs the VC Turbo engine with a nine speed automatic transmission.

BMW states that the 2027 X5 40 xDrive comes standard with its intelligent all wheel drive system.

That difference may matter to shoppers comparing base configurations. QX60 buyers can choose based on configuration, while the referenced X5 40 xDrive includes all wheel drive as part of the model.

BMW X5 Cargo and Towing Capability

BMW publishes substantial utility figures for the 2027 X5 40 xDrive.

The X5 provides 27.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the seats in place and up to 67.7 cubic feet when they are folded.

BMW also publishes a maximum towing capacity of 7,710 pounds for the X5 40 xDrive when properly equipped.

The exact QX60 overview URL supplied for this comparison does not publish equivalent cargo and towing figures. Those categories therefore should not be used to manufacture an advantage for either SUV in this article.

Luxury Features in the 2027 QX60

INFINITI builds meaningful premium equipment into the QX60 lineup rather than reserving the entire luxury experience for the highest trim.

LUXE includes a 16 speaker Klipsch Premium Audio system with Personalized Sound, a 3D Around View Monitor with Fixed Views and Moving Object Detection, climate controlled first row seating and heated second row outboard seats.

SPORT includes the LUXE standard features and adds its TailorFit appointed Dusk Blue interior, second row captain’s chairs, unique 20 inch wheels and exterior design changes.

AUTOGRAPH moves further upscale with a 20 speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System with Individual Audio, quilted semi aniline leather appointed first and second row seating and massaging first row seats.

BMW X5 Technology

BMW’s technology strategy is one of the strongest arguments for considering the X5.

The 2027 X5 introduces BMW Panoramic iDrive along with BMW Panoramic Vision. BMW also lists available technology that includes a BMW Passenger Screen, Bowers and Wilkins surround sound and additional driver assistance packages.

The X5 40 xDrive includes driver assistance features such as Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assistant, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Speed Limit Assistant and BMW 3D Head Up Display according to BMW.

Rather than simply counting features, shoppers should use each system in person. Screen placement, menu organization, camera views, audio quality and assistance technology can feel very different during everyday use.

Which SUV Is Better for You?

The answer depends heavily on why you are shopping for a luxury SUV.

The BMW X5 40 xDrive provides much greater published horsepower, standard xDrive, substantial cargo capacity and strong published towing capability. Buyers who want a two row SUV with a greater emphasis on performance may naturally gravitate toward the BMW.

The QX60 gives buyers three rows, available second row captain’s chairs and a starting MSRP of $57,290. It also provides premium features such as Klipsch audio, climate controlled front seats and an Around View Monitor beginning with LUXE.

If you need three rows or place greater emphasis on luxury value, the QX60 deserves serious consideration. If stronger acceleration and two row performance are more important, the X5 has clear strengths.
