What is the QX60?
The Infiniti QX60 is a three-row midsize luxury SUV with seating for six or seven passengers. Power comes from a 3.5-liter V6 engine, and either the front or all four wheels are driven through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Since it's fresh off a major redesign for 2022, we don't think Infiniti has much in store for its popular SUV for the 2024 model year.
On paper the QX60 looks to be an excellent value. Packed full of features and roomier than most SUVs in its segment, the Infiniti is also nicely turned out, with luxurious interior materials and an understated but distinctive exterior design. As an added bonus, the QX60 can tow up to 6,000 pounds, making it one of the more capable midsize luxury SUVs in that regard. Driving dynamics is where the QX60 falls a bit short. This is a competitive class, so while the Infiniti is by no means sloppy or underpowered, it lacks the crisp engine response and more confident handling you can get from quite a few competitors.
Those competitors include the Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE. The QX60 is most closely matched against the Acura but lacks the speed and poise of the MDX. The Audi and Mercedes offer more modern technology, as well as a more refined driving experience, but they cost considerably more than the QX60 when similarly equipped.
