About the Infiniti QX60

The Infiniti QX60 is a midsize luxury crossover SUV. It was initially called the Infiniti JX35 upon its introduction in 2012, until a year later when the marketing department at Infiniti decided that the letter “Q” was cooler than the letter “J.” The first generation lasted through the 2020 model year. There was no 2021 QX60, holding off until the second generation arrived for 2022.

What are the advantages of the Infiniti QX60?

• Good power from a 3.5-liter V6
• A comfortable, relatively spacious cabin
• Good cargo volume

What is the best Infiniti QX60 model year?

The QX60 saw a major upgrade when it was reintroduced as a 2022 model. It’s much more squared off than its predecessor and looks more elegant. Post-2022 model year QX60s improved an already nice cabin, and the new nine-speed ZF 9HP automatic transmission is a vast improvement over the notoriously awful CVT in the first generation.

What are the disadvantages of the Infiniti QX60?

In the first generation, the biggest disadvantage was the continuously variable transmission (CVT). These vehicles are worth avoiding, as they're getting up there in mileage and nobody wants the heartache of having to replace a CVT. The 2022 to present model year have a much better nine-speed, but you might consider steering clear of the trims with 20-inch wheels, which provide a harsh ride.

Comparison: Is the Infiniti QX60 better than the Acura MDX?

This completely depends on the generation. If it’s the first generation QX60, the Acura is most certainly the better option. The second generation gets a little more challenging. The current generation QX60 has doors that open wide in the rear making access to the third row easier. The exterior design of the QX60 is arguably more chic and modern than the Acura, and inside, the QX60 wins clearly.

Is the Infiniti QX60 a reliable car?

As of this writing, the current generation of QX60 has been the subject of four recalls, mostly for seat fasteners and adaptive headlamps that can incorrectly adjust the headlamps at high speeds. The earlier generation was the subject of 10 recalls.

Is the Infiniti QX60 worth the cost?

The QX60 starts at $49,650, but nobody wants the base model in 2WD. The top of the line Autograph trim with all-wheel drive will set you back $66,100. That’s competitive with other vehicles in the class, but it’s still expensive. On the used market, prices range from $10,000 for a high mileage 2017 QX60 with AWD to more than $55,000 for a 2023 QX60 Sensory AWD (the middle trim level) with just 7,000 miles.
