While its design is stylish enough to turn heads, it’s still approachable.

It’s a refreshing alternative to the trend of overdone opulence. Where some SUVs in this class lean on flash, the QX60 finds strength in subtlety. It’s luxurious without being loud. You don’t need an abundance of chrome or endless screens to feel spoiled. The appeal of the QX60 is its thoughtful restraint, which is arguably the truest form of luxury.

A Premium Interior

Beautiful leather seats include diamond quilting and subtle contrast stitching that looks handcrafted but not fussy. It reminds you that design matters not because it impresses other people, but because it makes you feel good every time you get behind the wheel.

The seats are soft but structured with support for long drives and materials that are upscale, but not fragile. You can toss in backpacks, sports gear, or the occasional messy toddler and not worry about destroying your car. Infiniti managed to pull off what a lot of luxury brands miss by creating an interior that is indulgent but livable.

Comfort And Technology That Simplify

The QX60 feels like it was designed by people who understand what daily life actually looks like. Everything you touch works the way you expect it to, from seat adjustments to the infotainment system. The massaging front seats are a small luxury that quickly become a necessity. Stuck in traffic after a long day? A few minutes of seat massage and tension disappears. Second-row captain’s chairs give kids their own space while the third row folds flat at the push of a button when the priority is cargo. The QX60 is designed for people who use their cars.

Technology plays a big role in the experience, but it never feels like it’s showing off. There’s a 12.3-inch touchscreen that integrates seamlessly with Google’s built-in navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep cords from cluttering the center console. It’s a straightforward system that lets you focus on driving, not trying to find the right menu.

The 20-speaker Klipsch audio system deserves special mention. Everything from podcasts to music sounds layered and dynamic, giving even a quick trip to the grocery store a touch of theater. Combined with the quiet ride, it turns this SUV into a haven from the world outside. There’s also a motion-activated liftgate to make loading groceries or luggage easier and an around view monitor for parking in tight spots. Another great stress reducer is ProPilot Assist 2.1, which is an easy-to-use driver assistance system perfect for road trips. Its technology designed to improve the drive without becoming intrusive.

A Three-Row That Drives Like A Two

The QX60’s most impressive trick might be how small it feels when you’re driving. Three-row SUVs are often cumbersome, but this one is light on its feet. Steering is smooth and precise with a suspension system that evens out rough surfaces without turning everything to mush.

A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 268 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque, which easily gets the QX60 up to highway speeds. It’s paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive to get you through rough weather with ease. The powertrain gives you what you need when you need it, working quietly in the background.

It’s here where the QX60 sets itself apart from competitors. Other SUVs might edge it out with more horsepower and sportier handling, but it’s more about serenity than speed with the QX60. For drivers who prioritize smoothness, practicality, and a sense of calm behind the wheel, the QX60 is simply a better fit.
