2023 INFINITI QX60

INFINITI has made the QX60 range easy to navigate. There’s a single engine and transmission choice, with four trim levels all available in either front or all-wheel drive – the latter a $2,000 premium on every trim. These start with Pure, costing $50,395 including destination, and conclude with Autograph, which is available from $63,795.

Every INFINITI QX60 is powered by the same 3.5-liter V6 gas engine, generating 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. This is fed to either the front or all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy across the FWD range stands at an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 combined. Specifying AWD knocks one MPG off each of those figures.

Cargo capacity for the six or seven-seater (depending on model) QX60 stands at 14.5 cu ft with the rear seats in place, 41.6 cubes with the third-row seats lowered, and 75.4 cu ft once the second row is also dropped.

Ventilated discs on all wheels and brake assistance underpin every QX60, with electronic driver aids ranging from traction control to high beam assist. The cabin features six airbags, while accident avoidance extends to forward-collision warnings and automatic braking both forwards and backward, lane departure warnings via a haptic steering wheel, and blind spot warnings. Pure models miss out on a more advanced blind spot intervention system, and they’re also the only QX60s sold without lane departure prevention, around view monitoring, or traffic sign recognition as standard.

It’s great to see a mixture of USB-A and USB-C data and charging ports throughout the QX60’s cabin – other manufacturers could learn from this. Wireless device charging is now standard across the range, with infotainment handled through a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Audio encompasses satellite and HD radio through a nine-speaker stereo, and there’s smartphone integration as standard. However, Pure models miss out on navigation, and you’ll need Luxe trim or above to receive live traffic information. You can also add an 18-speaker Bose stereo on Luxe, while it’s standard on Sensory and above.

You don’t feel like you’re making do with the base model if you buy a QX60 Pure. LED exterior lighting (including automatic headlights) and a power rear liftgate come as standard, alongside rear privacy glass and power-folding heated outside mirrors. Open the doors, and sequential welcome lighting reveals a cabin with three-zone climate, illuminated by a panoramic powered moonroof and sporting a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and ventilated front seats.

There are no packages on this trim.

Riding on 20-inch alloy wheels, Luxe is the first QX60 you can start remotely and the first with intelligent cruise control. Other safety upgrades include an around-view monitor, traffic sign recognition, and front-facing sonar, while navigation and a 12.3-inch TFT dynamic instrument panel are also standard. Intelligent key memory can also restore the last-used seating, audio, climate, and navigation settings.

A 17-speaker Bose sound system is a $900 option on Luxe models, while the $1,500 Vision pack combines a head-up display and smart rear-view mirror with adaptive front headlights.

Sensory models up the opulence ante with standard features like a motion-activated liftgate, illuminated kickplates, rear step lamps, and advanced air filtration in the cabin. The front seats offer massage functionality with four-way power lumbar for the passenger seat, while heating elements are fitted to the outboard second-row seats. The third row has a powered seat back, and every occupant benefits from an 18-speaker Bose sound system.

The Vision package remains available for $1,500.

Black roof rails and central panels distinguish Autograph models externally, but the big news is the introduction of second-row captain’s chairs with pivoting armrests, draped in quilted semi-aniline leather. This is the first QX60 to come as standard with a head-up display and smart rear-view mirror, too.
