Handling Ranked 2020 INFINITI QX60 worse.
"Steering is tight, the suspension is smooth but not floaty like the QX60. The MDX performs much better overall."
Back Seats Ranked 2020 INFINITI QX60 better.
"More legroom in the QX60, which feels more like a minivan than an SUV."

Front Seats Ranked 2020 BMW 5 Series worse.

Family Car Ranked 2020 BMW 5 Series worse.
"Three row seating with room in the back and storage underneath. Even third row is reasonably comfortable whereas some 3rd row models not so much. "

"MDX Hybrid feels like a sports car. The 4 engines are flawless in their interaction. "
Front Seats Ranked 2020 Lexus RX Hybrid worse.
"Have the Expresso Milano leather that is beautifully textured. The Lexus is very nice and though there is richness everywhere, the MDX just feels laid out better."
