2020 Lexus RC vs. 2020 Infiniti Q60

The 20202 Lexus RC comes with a stylish sports look that makes it stand out in any parking lot. Despite the compact look, the RC has a roomy cabin and the occupants can be assured of enough legroom and headspace. The car is also crammed with the latest in technology meaning that driving this sports car is nothing other than sheer pleasure.

The Infiniti Q60 is also an outstanding sports car that comes with a stylish look and an even better interior. The Infiniti offers a host of modern tech and a plush comfortable interior. Let us compare the two sports cars.

Design & Style

When it comes to the Lexus RC, you get bold smooth lines across the body that give it an aggressive sporty look. It has the distinctive Lexus front grille and its large wheels complete the sporty look. The interior is comfortable and well designed. So too is the instrument panel which is ergonomically designed and easy to use. The infotainment system which includes a Mark Levinson audio system ensures that your ride is as comfortable as possible.

The 2020 Infinity Q60 is also just as stylish on the outside and its sporty looks extend from the front to the beautifully sloped rear. Just like the RC, the large sporty wheels complete the aggressive look that makes it stand out. The interior is somewhat cramped when compared to cars in the same segment and there is little in terms of trunk space. The instrument panel also is difficult to use, especially when on the road.

Technology & Safety

The Lexus RC comes with a host of features such as 7-inch infotainment and unlike the Q60, the navigation system is uncluttered and easy to use. Owners of the Lexus RC get 4G internet connectivity as well as Apple CarPlay integration. The 2020 Lexus RC also comes with Amazon Alexa integration.

The Infiniti Q60 also features an equally impressive array of tech such as Apple CarPlay among others. The infotainment system, however, needs some time to understand and is not very user friendly. Unlike the Lexus RC, 4G connectivity is not standard. The audio system in the base model is also not very good and buyers are advised to take optional upgrades to the audio system.

Performance

The Lexus RC comes with a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that puts out 255 horsepower. This gives the car ample power and flooring the pedal sends the car from zero to 60 in a speedy 5.7 seconds. Handling is smooth and silky with no lags in acceleration. The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

When it comes to the 2020 Infiniti Q60, you get a twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine that is controlled by a seven-speed automatic transmission. Like the RC, the engine is powerful enough to give the full sport experience. Cornering is not as flawless as in the RC and owners will have to contend with some lag especially when accelerating.

The Bottom Line

While the two cars have a rich sporty heritage, the Lexus RC beats the Infiniti Q60 in several important categories. The interior of the RC offers greater room making it far more comfortable for long rides. The Lexus RC also has a far better infotainment system than the Infiniti Q60. For these reasons, the RC is a far better vehicle than the Q60.
