Find out why the QX60 should be at the top of your shopping list if you are looking to buy a three-row luxury SUV.
Performance & Handling
When it comes to performance, the Infiniti QX60 impresses with its responsive V6 engine, delivering plenty of power as you press on the accelerator. This engine provides an enjoyable driving experience, and it took our QX60 7.4 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill. The nine-speed automatic transmission in the QX60 is great, it’s smooth and seamlessly shifts gears. In everyday driving situations, the shifts are barely detectable, adding to the comfortable and refined driving experience. In terms of handling, the QX60, like many SUVs of its size, isn’t too great. While it provides a comfortable and stable ride, the steering can feel somewhat unresponsive.
Despite the steering characteristics, the Infiniti QX60 offers a well-rounded driving experience with its good performance and smooth transmission. Its focus on comfort and luxury makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a refined luxury three-row SUV.
Technology & Connectivity
The QX60 is equipped with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, which not only looks visually appealing but also offers a user-friendly interface. The size of the screen allows for clear and nice graphics, enhancing the overall viewing experience. The touchscreen is responsive and intuitive, making it easy for users to navigate through menus and access various functions. Additionally, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard for users who prefer using their phones.
In terms of driving assistance features, the QX60 offers a wide range of advanced technologies to enhance safety and convenience. During testing, the adaptive cruise control system in the QX60 worked great. It effectively maintained a safe following distance from other vehicles on the road without ever being too harsh when it came to accelerating or braking. In addition to adaptive cruise control, the QX60 comes with several other driving assistance features that function well. This included lane departure warning and prevention, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic alert, among others. These systems work together to provide an extra layer of safety and help mitigate potential hazards on the road.
Interior & Comfort
The cabin of the Infiniti QX60 truly feels high-end, showcasing the brand’s commitment to luxury. The attention to detail and quality materials used throughout the cabin contribute to an upscale atmosphere. Infiniti has succeeded in creating a luxurious cabin that aligns with the expectations of a high-end vehicle. There are a few minor downsides, such as the gloss black controls for the temperature system, which can easily smudge and requires regular cleaning if you want the interior to look clean. The front seats in the QX60 are not only visually appealing but also offer a plush and comfortable seating experience. Their stylish design adds to the overall aesthetic of the interior while providing support and comfort for the driver and front passenger. In terms of seating, the second row of the QX60 offers ample legroom, ensuring comfort for passengers. However, the third-row occupants may experience limited legroom due to the vehicle’s size and configuration. This is a common trade-off in three-row SUVs, where the third row tends to be more suitable for children or shorter trips.
The climate control system in the QX60 is great. It’s designed to be simple to use, ensuring easy adjustment of the cabin’s temperature. Additionally, the presence of roof-mounted air vents for the second and third rows enhances ventilation throughout the cabin, ensuring a pleasant climate for all passengers. One standout characteristic of the QX60 is the exceptional level of cabin quietness. The vehicle does a great job of minimizing road and wind noise, even at higher speeds. This contributes to the luxury feeling and allows all occupants to talk or enjoy the audio system without the intrusion of external noise.
Cargo Space & Storage
The Infiniti QX60 offers ample storage space, on par with other SUVs of similar size. In terms of cargo space, the rear cargo area is spacious. It offers a generous amount of room to carry luggage, groceries, or other larger items. The rear seats can be conveniently folded down to expand the cargo space further, allowing for the transportation of bulkier or longer items when needed. This versatility makes the QX60 suitable for everyday errands or larger hauling tasks.
Inside the cabin, the QX60 offers well-thought-out compartments and storage spaces for smaller items such as smartphones, keys, wallets, and beverages. Moreover, the QX60’s interior design optimizes functionality and practicality, making it easier for occupants to store and access their belongings. From center console storage to door pockets and additional storage areas in the front and rear, the QX60 ensures that essential items are within reach while maintaining a clutter-free cabin.
Fuel Economy
The 2022 Infiniti QX60 is rated at 11.9/9.5 L/100km (city/highway).
