Buying Advice
This is quite an easy choice for you as the QX60 is available as an individual trim. Budget-wise, the QX60 is the best pick amongst its rivals as it comes with a lot of standard luxury features. The $42,100 starting price of this Infiniti SUV is reasonable considering the fact that it gives a tough competition to the German competitors.
The Infiniti QX60 is powered by a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 that produces 265 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the front wheels or all four corners of the SUV through a CVT. This engine feels a lot more powerful and responsive than its output figures. It’s smooth and responsive and a little bit fuzzy but that’s to be expected. According to Nissan’s engineers, this transmission is more reliable than years past and the artificial gear changes are surprisingly natural.
The steering and chassis tuning do a pretty good job of injecting a wee bit of fun into the experience. In tight corners, a relatively tight turning radius makes it one of the easiest mid-sizers to park. The ride, though a bit firmer than most vehicles in this class, works well on surfaces that haven’t been completely ignored.

Due to its high curb weight and low power, the QX60 stays last on the table. The table is dominated by the Acura MDX thanks to its powerful V6 engine. With no further delay, the Audi Q7 picks up the second spot pushing the Buick Enclave to third place. Also, only the Q7 is available in standard AWD and 8-speed automatic transmission.
It is evident to say that the Infiniti QX60 is the most fuel-efficient SUV in this segment. With 21 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg combined, the QX60 offers exceptional fuel economy for its size. Going for the all-wheel-drive setup will lower the fuel estimates in the city and highway by 2 mpg.

The only vehicle close to the QX60 is the Acura MDX with a combined mileage of 22 mpg. The third spot is grabbed by the Buick Enclave whereas the Audi Q7 is the latest fuel-efficient SUV in this segment. It stands on the last place of the table.
On the inside, nearly every material is soft to the touch and high in quality. While the protruding dash doesn’t exactly project an air of openness, the overall effect is decidedly upscale. Upfront, the front seats are easily among the most comfortable in the category. Particularly supportive of the lower and mid back seat comfort is bolstered further by the steering wheel and symmetrical armrest that helps you keep in an ergonomically friendly driving position.
Things get even better out in the back thanks to a second row that slides and reclines. A OneTouch lever on both sides provides access to the third row. The QX60 has a legitimate third row meaning it has good head and legroom for adults. When it comes to general cargo hauling, the QX60 can’t measure up to its rivals, especially in terms of space behind the third row.Â

This category is quite competitive as all the rivals host similar levels of passenger space. Compared to its rivals, the QX60 offers a decent interior room. The Buick Enclave leads the pack with more cargo space while the QX60 and the Acura MDX are closely related to each other. Meanwhile, the Audi Q7 has just 10.9 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Some luxurious comfort features of the QX60 include:
Sadly, a core cockpit component has been almost completely ignored. As a consequence of running an outdated first-generation version of Infiniti’s InTouch infotainment console, the QX60’s multimedia offering lacks the modern hardware and connected technologies of more contemporary rivals. To be clear, it isn’t a bad system or is it difficult to use but when compared to its rivals, there’s room for modernization. A 7-inch touchscreen display is standard but it can be upgraded to an 8-inch screen. Some of the other features include:
Infiniti hasn’t wasted any time or money on the design with the QX60. It is a typical Infiniti but even more so with a bold brash design. The front grille is nicely rounded to the emblem The designers of Infiniti have also thought about the people who sit in the third row of the QX60.
They have created a moonroof as well as two side windows for that particular row allowing a little more hospitality in space, not feeling as claustrophobic as usual in a minivan or SUV. Overall, the design of the QX60 is impressive and it looks like an SUV.

Unlike its rivals, the QX60’s wheelbase is pretty small at 114.2 inches. The tidier dimensions of the Acura MDX helps it to have better driving dynamics. At 201.9 inches, the Buick Enclave is the longest SUV while the Audi Q7’s high ground clearance is useful while off-roading. Some exterior features of the QX60 include:
The new Infiniti QX60 scored well in all the crash tests conducted by both the safety agencies. The QX60 has undergone only three crash tests by IIHS but earned ‘Good’ ratings and also received five out of five stars from NHTSA for its exceptional test performance. The SUV also comes loaded with some top driver-assist systems like
If your budget permits, you can buy a more engaging like the BMW X5, a more refined like the Audi Q7, or more prestigious seven-passenger like Mercedes-Benz M-Class but if it doesn’t, the QX60 earns our recommendation for its enticing upfront costs and resale values that are nearly identical to the class-leading Acura MDX. It’s for these reasons that the Infiniti QX60 keeps on keeping on as a serious contender among seven-passenger luxury crossovers and factoring what you get for those numbers, we can say that this is a smart buy.
