Both of these vehicles feature a striking design that will make you stand out on the roads of Santa Fe, but depending on your expectations for performance and interior space, one may be a better choice than the other.

Lexus NX vs. RX: Interior Dimensions

How many people do you want to bring along on trips to Los Lunas? If it’s just you and your dog, or the occasional small group of friends, the two-row interior of the Lexus NX should be plenty sufficient. The Lexus RX also has a two-row interior in its standard build, but there is a three-row option available if you wish to increase the seating capacity to seven. As a larger vehicle, the Lexus RX is also roomier overall, so taller drivers may gravitate towards it for the extra legroom. Compare Lexus NX and RX interior measurements to see for yourself which one is the right fit:

Lexus NX Interior:

• 41.0 inches / 36.1 inches front / rear legroom
• 22.7 cubic feet / 46.9 cubic feet of cargo space (seats up / down)

Lexus RX Interior:

• 44.1 inches / 38 inches front / rear legroom
• 29.6 cubic feet / 46.2 cubic feet of cargo space (seats up / down in the 2-row trim level)
