Quick answer

The Lexus GX 550 Is the Value Pick; the QX80 Hauls the Most

There's no single winner. The right SUV depends on what you're optimizing for. The Lexus GX 550 is the smart-money choice: standard four-wheel drive, the best tow rating of the group, and thousands less than the competition, backed by Lexus resale value. The BMW X7 is the one to drive, with the most polished road manners. The INFINITI QX80 is the statement, with the most horsepower, the biggest cabin, and the most cargo behind the third row. Below, we compare all three spec by spec so you can match one to your family.
