2025 Infiniti QX60 Review: Drive, Performance & Specs Tested

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 is stepping into the spotlight with some big changes under the hood, marking a new chapter for this model, which has become a favorite in the U.S. market. You see, it’s Infiniti’s top seller, and in 2023, sales actually doubled compared to 2022! This second-generation SUV, which seats three rows of passengers in luxury, is getting a pretty notable update this year, but don’t expect a complete redesign or even a mid-cycle refresh. The biggest news is that the Infiniti has swapped out the old 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 for a peppy 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder VC-Turbo engine. This shift is in line with what’s happening across the industry—smaller, turbocharged engines are becoming the norm as everyone tries to keep up with those ever-tightening fuel economy standards.

Now, where does the QX60 fit in the crowded luxury three-row SUV scene? Well, it’s not quite on the same level as the BMW X5 or the Genesis GV80, but it does offer more luxury touches than your typical mainstream three-row crossovers. You’ve got some stiff competition, like the Acura MDX, which is known for its fun driving experience, and the new Lexus TX, which has a bit more room inside but comes with a heftier price tag. Don’t forget about the Buick Enclave and Mazda CX-90 either, but the QX60 definitely skews more towards luxury than those other near-premium options.

It’s worth mentioning that the QX60 shares its bones with the Nissan Pathfinder, but it takes things up a notch with fancier materials, better sound insulation, and more advanced tech features. This connection lets Infiniti keep the QX60 priced lower than its European rivals while still giving buyers a premium feel. If you’re in the market for a luxury three-row SUV but don’t want to break the bank on something German, the QX60 looks like a pretty sweet deal.

The 2025 model is geared up to pull families into Infiniti dealerships with its mix of practicality, comfort, and those nice premium features. Ever since the second generation rolled out for the 2022 model year, folks have been raving about its eye-catching design. Sure, the QX60 might not be the absolute best in any one area compared to its rivals, but it does offer a nice balance of luxury and everyday practicality.

Oh, and here’s something new for 2025: Infiniti has added a Black Edition package for the Luxe trim. This gives the QX60 some cool styling upgrades, like a blacked-out grille, 20-inch black wheels, and black roof rails. It’s a great way for buyers to make their QX60 stand out without having to shell out for the pricier Sensory or Autograph trims.

Even with the big change in powertrain, Infiniti has kept the QX60’s strong points intact. You still get that quiet, comfy cabin, room for up to seven passengers, and a whole bunch of standard features. So, the real question for potential buyers is—can that new turbocharged four-cylinder engine really deliver a driving experience that rivals the old V6? And do the other perks of the QX60 make it worthy of consideration in this increasingly competitive luxury SUV game?

So, if you’re looking at the 2025 Infiniti QX60, the biggest news is the engine swap. Gone is that old 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6. Instead, you’ve got a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that boasts Infiniti’s fancy Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) tech. This new engine cranks out 268 horsepower at 5600 RPM and 286 lb-ft of torque from 1600 to 4400 RPM. Sure, that’s a drop of 27 horsepower compared to the V6, but hey, you’re also getting an extra 16 lb-ft of torque. And it’s still paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which is a carryover from last year, instead of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) found in the QX50.

Now, the VC-Turbo is pretty cool. It can change its compression ratio depending on how you’re driving—like, if you’re just cruising, it goes high for better fuel economy. But if you need a kick, it drops to a lower ratio to give you that power boost. This engine first showed up in the QX50 and Nissan Altima, but the QX60 is the first to use it with a traditional automatic rather than a CVT.

When it comes to performance, testing shows that this new turbo engine gets you from 0-60 mph in roughly 7.5 seconds. That’s about a second slower than the old V6. You can definitely feel the difference in acceleration, especially from a stop—there’s a bit of turbo lag before it really kicks in. However, once the turbo gets going, the mid-range torque feels stronger than the V6 did, which is nice when you’re trying to pass on the highway. The way this engine delivers power has shifted from the smooth, steady push of the V6 to a more sudden surge as the turbo ramps up.

As for the 9-speed automatic, it generally shifts smoothly during everyday driving. However, it can be a little slow to downshift when you want a quick boost. In Sport mode, it holds onto gears longer and responds better to your foot on the gas, although it still leans more towards comfort than a sporty feel. You’ve got paddle shifters on the steering wheel for manual gear changes, but just be aware there’s a tiny delay from when you pull the paddle to when it actually shifts. This transmission comes with a variety of drive modes—Eco, Auto, Sport, Personal, and Snow—to tweak how it responds to your driving style.

Even with the drop in horsepower, the QX60 still boasts a solid towing capacity of 6,000 pounds for all-wheel-drive models (front-wheel-drive ones are capped at 3,500 pounds). That’s competitive and great for families who need to haul boats or trailers. Plus, switching to this turbo engine has led to a slight bump in fuel efficiency, now rated at 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway for all-wheel-drive models. That’s a 2 mpg improvement over the old V6 setup.

Now, let’s talk about the engine’s sound. With the switch to the four-cylinder engine, you lose that smooth, refined tone of the V6 for a more typical four-cylinder noise. Infiniti has done a decent job keeping cabin noise down during regular driving, but when you really push it, that rougher sound of the four-cylinder becomes noticeable. Most regular drivers probably won’t mind this change, but for those who loved the character of the V6, it might feel a bit disappointing.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 is packed with a robust braking system that’s built to manage its hefty weight of around 4,671 pounds when you opt for all-wheel drive. Up front, you’ve got 13.8-inch ventilated disc brakes, and in the rear, there are 13.0-inch ventilated discs. This arrangement ensures that you get reliable stopping power no matter the driving conditions. Plus, the ventilated design does a great job of cooling things down during those times when you’re hitting the brakes hard, like when you’re coming down long mountain roads.

When put to the test, bringing the QX60 from 70 mph to a complete stop takes about 171 feet. That’s actually quite decent for a vehicle in its category. The feel of the brakes is just right for a luxury SUV—not too hard, not too soft. You know that nice, progressive feel makes it super easy to manage smooth stops in your day-to-day driving. This kind of performance really helps to deliver the refined experience you expect from a luxury ride, letting drivers ease to a stop without that annoying head-bobbing that happens with overly touchy brakes.

Now, every QX60 model comes with an electronic parking brake that has this nifty auto-hold feature. This is fantastic, especially in stop-and-go traffic. When you hit that feature, it keeps the vehicle still once you’ve come to a full stop, even if you take your foot off the brake. It’s pretty cool because it automatically releases when you press the gas, making it a breeze to navigate through congested areas.

Safety is a big deal in the QX60, and it packs plenty of brake-related features across all its trims. For starters, there’s brake assist, which kicks in extra braking pressure in emergencies if it senses you’re not pressing hard enough on the pedal. Then there’s the Electronic Brake-force Distribution, which smartly adjusts braking force between the front and rear wheels depending on how loaded the vehicle is and the driving conditions. It’s all about keeping things optimal. And let’s not forget the hill start assist function—it keeps you from rolling back when you’re starting on a slope.

If you find yourself driving in bad weather, you’ll be glad to know the QX60 has an anti-lock braking system (ABS). This nifty system stops the wheels from locking up during hard braking so you can steer your way through tricky situations. It works hand-in-hand with the traction and stability control systems, giving you extra confidence when conditions are less than ideal. Plus, it’s even got a connection to the ProPILOT Assist system for automatic emergency braking—both for preventing forward collisions and when backing up. All in all, it’s clear that the QX60 is serious about safety.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 features an electric power-assisted steering system that focuses on comfort and ease rather than trying to be sporty. You can actually tweak the steering feel using the drive mode selector, which gives you different levels of resistance based on what you choose. So, when you’re in Sport mode, for instance, the steering gets noticeably heavier, giving you a bit more weight and a connection to the road. On the flip side, if you’re in Comfort or Eco modes, the steering lightens up a lot, making it super easy to maneuver in tight spots like parking lots or busy city streets. But here’s the thing: no matter what mode you pick, the steering doesn’t really give you much feedback from the road. That fits the QX60’s luxury vibe, but it might leave some drivers wanting a little more engagement.

Now, about the steering ratio—it’s designed to strike a nice balance between being easy to maneuver at low speeds and stable at higher speeds. When you’re parking, you won’t have to crank the wheel too much to fit into tight spaces. And on the highway it offers a decent feel that keeps you straight without needing constant adjustments. The turning radius is pretty reasonable for a vehicle this size, so making three-point turns and parking isn’t as tricky as you might think for a three-row SUV that’s almost 200 inches long.

Looking at the suspension, the QX60 has an independent strut setup in the front and a multi-link configuration in the rear, plus stabilizer bars on both ends to keep body roll in check. This setup leans more towards comfort rather than sporty handling, although it’s not as luxurious as you might expect from a luxury brand. The tuning strikes a good balance—absorbing bumps in the road while also preventing that floaty or wallowy feeling you sometimes get on uneven surfaces.

For the most part, road impacts are handled pretty well. Smaller bumps and cracks usually get filtered out before you feel them in the cabin. But larger potholes and sharp edges can jolt you a bit more than you’d want in a luxury vehicle, especially on models with those bigger 20-inch wheels, which are standard on all but the base Pure trim. If you go with the Pure trim’s 18-inch wheels, you get a noticeably smoother ride over rough patches, though you lose some of that premium look from the larger wheels.

When it comes to body control in corners, it’s okay for a family-friendly luxury SUV, but you will notice some lean if you’re pushing it through turns at higher speeds. The QX60 leans more towards stability and predictability rather than agility, which gives it a secure feel, even when the roads get a bit twisty. This design really suits its role as a comfy family hauler rather than a performance-oriented ride. If you’re after sharper handling in this category, the Acura MDX might be more up your alley, but you’ll trade off some ride comfort for that. In the end, the QX60’s suspension tuning shows that Infiniti really understands their buyers—those who care more about comfort, refinement, and an easy driving experience over sporty credentials.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 has different tire setups based on the trim level you choose. If you go for the entry-level Pure trim, you’ll get 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels that come with all-season tires. These tires have taller sidewalls, which means a more comfortable ride overall. Now, if you opt for the Luxe, Sensory, or Autograph trims, you’ll find 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels that are wrapped in 255/50R20 all-season tires. On our test vehicle, we had the Hankook Dynapro HP2 tires, which are crafted to strike a balance between comfort, all-weather performance, and decent handling.

These Hankook tires grip pretty well, whether it’s dry or wet out. In our testing, they managed to pull about 0.82g on the skidpad, which is actually pretty good for a luxury SUV of this size. They also give you enough feedback as you push them closer to their limits, so you know when to ease off a bit before losing traction. As for road noise? Well, these tires do a solid job—they help keep the QX60’s cabin nice and quiet. At highway speeds, you hear just a little road hum, but on rougher surfaces, you might pick up on some tire sound.

Now, if you’re eyeing the Black Edition package on the Luxe trim, you’ll get some slick 20-inch black-finished aluminum alloy wheels. They keep the same tire dimensions but add a sporty vibe that matches the blacked-out look of the car. The split-spoke design not only looks good but also helps with brake cooling and adds sturdiness. Plus, the black finish doesn’t show brake dust easily, which is great for keeping things looking clean between washes.

Every QX60 model comes with a tire pressure monitoring system, which is pretty handy. It alerts you if any tire pressure dips below what’s recommended. This feature is essential for keeping your tires performing well and helps with fuel efficiency too—plus, it lowers the risk of blowouts from underinflated tires. You can check the current tire pressure for each wheel right on the vehicle information display, making it super easy to stay on top of things.

Here’s something to think about: While those 20-inch wheels do make the QX60 look fantastic, they do come with a couple of downsides when it comes to ride quality. With the shorter sidewalls compared to the 18-inch wheels, there’s less rubber to soak up bumps in the road. So, the ride can feel a bit firmer, especially on rough patches. If comfort is your top priority and you don’t mind sacrificing some of the premium features, the Pure trim with its 18-inch wheels could be worth considering. But for most folks, the 20-inch wheel and tire setup strikes a decent balance between style and comfort, keeping that luxurious feel that you’d expect from a family-friendly luxury SUV.

The inside of the 2025 Infiniti QX60 really gives off a vibe of sophistication—it’s well put together and clearly aimed at luxury lovers. The dashboard has this nice horizontal layout, with a wraparound design that not only feels like a cockpit for the driver but also keeps things feeling open and airy for everyone else. You’ll notice that the upper parts of the cabin are covered in soft-touch materials, and hey, genuine leather comes standard on all trims—that’s a nice touch! As you climb the trim ladder, the quality of materials just gets better and better, especially in the Sensory and Autograph models, which showcase some seriously high-end leathers and finishes.

Let’s break it down, trim by trim. Starting with the Pure trim, you get leather seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and some brushed aluminum accents. Then, if you step up to the Luxe trim, you’re looking at fancier materials and options like the Black Edition package—this brings in a black headliner and some snazzy door sill plates that really amp up the sporty feel of the interior. Now, the Sensory trim takes things up a notch with higher-grade leather and more noticeable contrast stitching throughout the space. And if you want the crème de la crème, the Autograph model features semi-aniline leather, complete with unique quilting on the seats and door panels, giving it a truly premium look that can stand toe-to-toe with pricier European brands.

Now, let’s talk tech. The QX60’s dashboard is home to a dual-screen setup—a 12.3-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The graphics are sharp, but some folks have pointed out that the resolution for the 360-degree camera system could use a little work. And that flat-bottom steering wheel is wrapped in leather across all trims, it adds a sporty flair to what’s otherwise a cozy interior. You’ll find authentic materials like real wood trim (in the Sensory and Autograph trims) and those brushed aluminum accents that really boost the upscale feel.

Navigation comes standard on all but the base Pure trim, offering detailed mapping with 3D building graphics and real-time traffic information. The system can provide weather updates, sports scores, and even fuel prices at nearby stations, keeping drivers connected and informed. Voice recognition capability allows for hands-free control of many system functions, though it’s not as sophisticated as some competitors’ natural language processing systems. The infotainment system can be controlled via touch inputs directly on the screen or through a physical controller knob located on the center console, providing flexibility based on driver preference.

You can really see the attention to detail throughout the cabin. Check out those metal speaker grilles for the Bose sound system, the contrast stitching on the dash and doors, and the smart storage solutions they’ve included. The center console has this bridge-like design that creates extra storage space underneath—perfect for stashing handbags or other bits and bobs you might want to keep handy. Plus, the electronic gear selector takes up minimal space, helping keep the center console looking neat and tidy.

When night falls, the ambient lighting adds to the cabin’s atmosphere, although it’s not as flashy as some of the multi-color options you’d find in certain European competitors. And don’t forget about the panoramic moonroof; it’s standard across all trims and really lets in a ton of natural light during the day, making the whole space feel even bigger. There’s also a power sunshade to block out too much sun or heat when you need it.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 keeps that eye-catching exterior design we first saw in the second-generation model back in 2022. Honestly, it looks way more modern and sophisticated compared to earlier versions. You can see the cleaner lines and bolder proportions. The front is all about that signature double-arch grille from Infiniti, and it’s got this cool origami-inspired mesh pattern that adds some depth and visual interest. Some folks even say the grille kind of looks like a samurai sword with its gentle curve—pretty fitting for a luxury brand from Japan, right?

On either side of that grille, you’ve got those sleek LED headlights, which not only look great but also come with LED daytime running lights and turn signals. Every QX60 comes standard with full LED lighting, and if you go for the higher trims, you can get adaptive front lighting too. The front bumper has some decorative side vents that, while they don’t actually do anything, really amp up the premium vibe of the vehicle. Plus, the hood has these subtle creases that add a bit of character without looking too aggressive or busy.

If you check out the side profile, you’ll notice the floating roof design. The A, B, and C pillars are blacked out, giving it a sleek and modern aesthetic. The roofline slopes gently toward the back, steering clear of that coupe-like shape that can cramp headroom in other SUVs, but still manages to look elegant. On the standard models, you get chrome trim around the windows, but if you opt for the Black Edition package on the Luxe trim, that gets swapped for a glossy black trim. Speaking of the Black Edition for 2025, it also comes with black-finished 20-inch wheels, black mirror caps, black roof rails, and black badging—it definitely gives it a more aggressive, contemporary look.

A unique touch is the rear quarter window, which has this quirky shape that really sets the QX60 apart from other SUVs in its class. Moving to the back, the LED taillights stretch across the liftgate, connected by either a black or chrome accent piece, depending on the trim. The tailgate itself is pretty clean and uncluttered, with Infiniti badging and model designations placed just right. Lower trims have visible dual exhaust outlets, while the higher trims cleverly integrate these into the rear bumper design.

When it comes to color options for the 2025 QX60, there are some standout choices. Harbor Gray, Pure White, and Deep Bordeaux Red have been getting a lot of love. The Autograph trim even has a special two-tone paint option with a black roof, which really pops—especially with lighter body colors. It definitely gives the vehicle a more premium feel, making it hard to miss in a packed parking lot. Sure, some reviewers have pointed out that things like the unpainted plastic cladding around the wheel arches might take away a bit from that luxury vibe, but overall, the exterior design does a great job of showcasing the QX60’s upscale positioning while keeping that unmistakable Infiniti identity.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 truly shines when it comes to offering a rich array of comfort and convenience features throughout its lineup. Even the base model, the Pure trim, comes packed with a solid set of amenities. You’ll find leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, and tri-zone automatic climate control as standard in all QX60 models. This initial setup gives it an edge over many competitors, who often reserve these perks for higher trims. It really sets the stage for a vehicle that puts passenger comfort front and center.

When it comes to front seat comfort, the QX60 stands out. Both the driver and front passenger seats come with an eight-way power adjustment and two-way power lumbar support right out of the bat. If you go for the higher trims, you’ll get four-way power lumbar support too, allowing for even more fine-tuned comfort. The Sensory and Autograph trims take it up another notch with a massage feature offering three different types of massage and three levels of intensity. Sure, the massage mainly targets the lumbar region rather than the entire back, but let us tell you, it’s a real treat on those long drives. Oh, and ventilated front seats are standard on all trims except the Pure, giving you that refreshing comfort when the weather heats up.

The second-row seating can vary depending on which trim you pick. Most QX60 models come with a bench seat that fits three passengers, but if you opt for the Autograph trim, you’ll get captain’s chairs instead. This does cut the seating capacity from seven to six, but hey, it definitely offers a more luxurious feel for those riding in the back. No matter the setup, the second row has decent space, boasting 37.7 inches of legroom. Plus, the seats can slide and recline, which is super handy for adjusting legroom between the second and third rows—especially when you’ve got adults in all three rows. And if you’re in the Sensory or Autograph trims, you’ll also enjoy heated outer seats, dedicated climate controls, and manual sunshades to keep the sun out.

Now, the third row—it’s a bit snug compared to some rivals, with just 28 inches of legroom. But it’s designed to be more practical than what you often find in three-row luxury SUVs. The seats have enough cushioning to keep everyone comfy for shorter trips. Getting in is a breeze thanks to a one-touch button that tilts and slides the second-row seats forward. And yes, it works even with a child seat still in place (though, of course, not with the little one in it). Families will appreciate features like ceiling-mounted air vents for the third-row passengers (a nice upgrade over competitors like the Acura MDX) and USB ports to keep devices charged on those longer journeys.

There’s no shortage of convenience features in the QX60. All models come with a power liftgate, and if you go for higher trims, you’ll also get hands-free functionality that you can activate with a simple kick under the rear bumper. The Sensory and Autograph trims include an advanced air purification system to keep the cabin air fresh. Storage is also well thought out, with a big center console featuring a wireless charging pad and several USB ports (both Type-A and Type-C). Plus, there are clever spots like the pass-through area beneath the center console, which is just perfect for stashing a purse or small bag. And let’s not forget the little touches like illuminated vanity mirrors and cup holders scattered throughout all three rows, along with handy bottle holders in the door pockets.

And then there’s the tech—talk about a game changer. All QX60 models come with remote start (on Luxe trim and above), so you can pre-condition the cabin before you even step inside. There’s also an available digital rearview mirror that gives you a clear view behind, which is super useful when the cargo area is loaded or all the seats are occupied. For 2025, Infiniti has rolled out a sleek new key fob design that includes a walkaway auto-lock and unlock feature. It’s pretty neat; the vehicle locks itself when you walk away and unlocks as soon as you come back with the key nearby.

So, let’s talk about the audio systems in the QX60. They change depending on the trim level you go for. If you opt for the base Pure model, you’ll get a nine-speaker setup. But if you step up to the Luxe trim or higher, you’re in for a treat with a 17-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system. This thing really delivers, with crisp highs, a rich midrange, and bass that you can actually feel. Plus, it’s got Centerpoint 2.0 surround technology, which means you’ll get an awesome surround sound experience throughout the cabin. You can listen to music in a bunch of ways, too—there’s AM/FM radio, SiriusXM satellite radio (with a three-month trial, no less), Bluetooth streaming, and USB connectivity for playing your tunes and charging up your devices.

Now, moving on to the driving features, the ProPILOT Assist system is one of the standout technologies in the QX60. If you choose the Luxe trim or above, you’ll find this semi-autonomous driving feature, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance. It’s a real helper on those long highway drives, letting you relax a bit more. And if you go for the Sensory or Autograph trims, it gets even better with the Navi-link functionality. This nifty addition uses navigation data to automatically adjust your speed for things like curves or interchanges. Just to be clear, it’s not fully self-driving, so you still need to pay attention, but it definitely makes highway cruising a lot easier.

Then, there’s the Vision Package available on the Sensory trim. It packs in three pretty cool features. First up, you get a 10.8-inch head-up display that shows you essential info like your speed, navigation directions, and safety alerts right on the windshield—super convenient! Next, there’s adaptive front lighting, which turns the headlights in the direction of your turns, giving you better visibility on those twisty roads. And let’s not forget the digital rearview mirror; you can switch between a regular mirror and a camera display, which is great for getting a clear view behind you, no matter what’s going on in the back seats or trunk.

When it comes to climate control, the QX60 doesn’t skimp either. All trims come with tri-zone automatic temperature control, which means the driver, front passenger, and rear-seat passengers can set their own comfort levels. If you go for the Sensory or Autograph trims, you’ll also enjoy an advanced air purification system that helps keep the air clean by filtering out pesky particles. Plus, every model has heated front seats, and most (except for the base Pure) also have ventilated front seats. The Sensory and Autograph trims even offer heated second-row outboard seats. And get this—the front seats in these higher trims come with a massage function that features three different patterns and intensity levels. So, if you’re on a long drive, you can kick back and relax a bit.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 really stands out when it comes to safety features, and it’s clear that Infiniti has put a lot of thought into keeping passengers safe. All trim levels come with a strong set of standard safety features, which is pretty impressive. The car’s structure is solid enough to earn it a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)—that’s the highest honor they hand out. These ratings show just how well the QX60 performs in crash tests, whether it’s a frontal impact, side collision, or rollover.

Every QX60 is loaded with a complete airbag system. We’re talking about front, side, and side-curtain airbags, which keep everyone safe in all three rows. Plus, there are knee airbags for both the driver and front passenger, giving you extra protection in case of a frontal crash. The front seats also come with active head restraints aimed at lowering the chances of whiplash if you get hit from behind. And for families with little ones, the QX60 has the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system in the second and third rows, making it easier to install child safety seats.

Now, let’s talk about the tech. The QX60 lineup includes a bunch of advanced driver assistance features as standard. You get forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, which can spot both cars and pedestrians. This can help prevent or lessen the impact of frontal crashes. There’s also lane departure warning, which nudges you if you start drifting out of your lane, and blind spot warning that keeps an eye on adjacent lanes and gives you visual and audible alerts when something’s in your blind spot. And when you’re backing out of parking spaces, the rear cross-traffic alert gives you a heads-up about any oncoming vehicles. Oh, and let’s not forget about the rear automatic braking that kicks in if it detects an obstacle behind you while you’re reversing.

If you’re eyeing the higher trims, they come with even fancier safety features. Starting with the Luxe trim, you get a 360-degree camera system that helps you see everything around your vehicle, which is super handy for parking and maneuvering at low speeds. It also includes front and rear parking sensors that alert you to nearby obstacles. The Luxe trim throws in traffic sign recognition too, which displays important road signs right in the instrument cluster—great for keeping an eye on those speed limits.

One of the standout features has got to be ProPILOT Assist, Infiniti’s semi-autonomous driving system, available as standard on the Luxe trim and above. This system blends adaptive cruise control with lane centering assistance, which can really help reduce fatigue on those long highway drives. It automatically keeps a set distance from the car ahead, braking and accelerating when needed, and gives you steering assistance to stay centered in your lane. If you opt for the Sensory or Autograph trims, you get ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, which can even slow down the vehicle in anticipation of curves or exits based on navigation data.

If you choose the Vision Package on the Sensory trim, you’re in for even more safety perks. There’s adaptive front lighting that swivels the headlights as you turn so you can see better around corners and a digital rearview mirror that can switch between a traditional mirror and a camera feed, giving you a clear view behind the car, no matter what’s going on in the backseat. Plus, there’s a 10.8-inch head-up display in this package that projects key info—like your speed, navigation directions, and safety alerts—right in your line of sight. This helps keep distractions to a minimum because you won’t have to take your eyes off the road as much.

On the security front, the QX60 doesn’t skimp either. Every model comes with a vehicle immobilizer and an alarm system to keep thieves at bay. You get remote keyless entry with push-button start as standard, and if you go for the Luxe trim or higher, there’s remote engine start too, which is perfect for warming up the cabin before you hop in. Oh, and the new key fob for 2025 has this great walkaway auto-lock feature that locks the doors automatically when you leave with the key, so you can have peace of mind even if you forget to lock up manually.

Getting behind the wheel of the 2025 Infiniti QX60, you can’t help but notice right away just how great the visibility is and, oh, the comfort! The driving position is nice and elevated, giving you a fantastic view of the road ahead. What about those A-pillars? They’re pretty slim, so you won’t struggle with blind spots at intersections. Plus, the seat has a bunch of adjustments to help you find that perfect spot, and let’s not forget the power-adjustable steering column, which is a nice touch for drivers of all shapes and sizes. The flat-bottom steering wheel feels solid in your grip, and all the controls are placed just right, so you don’t have to let go of the wheel for anything too common.

Now, when you hit the gas from a standstill, you’ll notice one of the biggest changes for 2025: the new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. There’s this little lag before the power kicks in, which feels quite different compared to the immediate response you would get from the old V6. But once you’re moving, the engine’s mid-range torque really shines through, making highway passing pretty effortless. The 9-speed automatic transmission is smooth in regular driving, although it can be a bit slow to downshift when you want that quick burst of speed. If you switch to Sport mode, it holds the gears longer and gives you a snappier throttle response, which is nice.

As for noise, road and wind sounds are kept nicely in check in the QX60. It creates a serene atmosphere inside that really fits the luxury vibe. At highway speeds, you can chat comfortably without having to raise your voice, and the audio system doesn’t need cranking to drown out background noise. But when you push it hard, the four-cylinder engine does make a bit of a rougher sound compared to the outgoing V6. Still, Infiniti has done a good job isolating the cabin from the harsher engine noise when you’re just cruising.

When it comes to ride quality, it strikes a pretty good balance between comfort and control—though it leans a bit more towards comfort. The suspension does a nice job of soaking up the little bumps without making you feel every single one of them, keeping that composed luxury feel. But, hit a pothole or an expansion joint, and you might feel it a bit more than in some rivals, especially if you’re rolling on those 20-inch wheels. And yeah, there’s a bit of body roll when you’re taking corners at higher speeds, which is a little reminder that comfort is the priority here, rather than sporty handling.

The steering is light when you’re moving slowly, making it super easy to navigate parking lots, but it adds weight at highway speeds to keep things stable. You won’t get much feedback through the wheel, which fits the luxury character of this vehicle. If you’re hoping for a spirited drive on twisty roads, well, that’s not really its forte. But it stays composed and predictable when you push it, thanks to the stability control system that kicks in smoothly if you’re pushing past its limits. You can play around with the drive mode selector too—Sport mode gives you a sharper throttle and heavier steering, while Eco mode is all about maximizing fuel efficiency with a more laid-back throttle response.

About the ProPILOT Assist system: It’s available on Luxe trims and up and is just a gem for long highway drives. When activated, it helps with steering to keep you in your lane and uses adaptive cruise control to keep a set distance from the car in front. It works great on well-marked highways, taking some strain off the driver without being annoying. On the Sensory and Autograph trims, there’s this cool Navi-link feature that adjusts your speed automatically for upcoming curves or interchanges, using navigation data. It’s not fully autonomous, but it’s definitely a step in that direction, and it’s a great perk for those who rack up miles on long trips.

As for off-road capabilities, well, they’re a bit limited in the QX60. With a ground clearance of about 6.7 inches, this SUV is tuned for on-road comfort. The all-wheel-drive system, which is standard on the Autograph trim and available across the board, is mainly for bad weather rather than serious off-roading. It runs mostly in front-wheel drive to save on fuel, only sending power to the rear wheels when slip is detected. There’s also a Snow mode that tweaks throttle response and transmission settings for better performance on slippery surfaces.

Parking the QX60 is simplified by the available 360-degree camera system, which provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings. The system includes moving object detection to alert the driver of approaching hazards, and the display resolution is adequate, if not class-leading. Front and rear parking sensors provide audible alerts as the vehicle approaches obstacles, though the 360-degree camera largely supersedes the need for these in most situations. The QX60’s turning radius is reasonable for its size, making three-point turns and parking maneuvers less cumbersome than might be expected.

Overall, the driving experience in the 2025 QX60 is characterized by refinement, comfort, and ease of use rather than engaging dynamics or sporty pretensions. The vehicle excels as a luxurious family transport, capable of covering long distances without fatiguing its occupants while providing enough power and handling capability for confident everyday driving. The switch to the turbocharged four-cylinder engine does change the character of the driving experience somewhat compared to the previous V6 model, with different power delivery characteristics that some drivers may take time to adjust to, but the overall package remains compelling for those prioritizing comfort and luxury over driving excitement.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 puts a spotlight on comfort and flexibility, especially when it comes to the second and third-row seating—perfect for families who appreciate a touch of luxury. In the second row, you’ve got a generous 37.7 inches of legroom, which is great for adults, making long trips a lot more bearable. Typically, you’ll find a bench seat that comfortably fits three people, and it features a 60/40 split, so when you need to haul some stuff, you’ve got options. If you opt for the top-tier Autograph trim, it’s a bit different—you get captain’s chairs instead of a bench. Sure, it drops the seating capacity to six, but the experience feels a bit more upscale, plus getting to the third row is a breeze.

Speaking of the second row, all the seats can slide back and forth on rails, which is super useful for adjusting legroom or making space for folks in the third row. They also recline quite a bit—up to 30 degrees—so passengers can really kick back and find that perfect spot. The cushioning here is pretty generous, with solid thigh support and nice bolstering that feels supportive but not too constrictive. And, no matter which trim you choose, the leather upholstery is nice, with the higher trims offering fancier leather and more intricate stitching.

About comfort features—there are dedicated climate controls for the second row, allowing those in the back to set their own temperature separately from those up front. Plus, air vents are placed in the center console and on the B-pillars, ensuring air flows evenly throughout the cabin. If you opt for the Sensory or Autograph trims, the outboard second-row seats are heated, which is a nice touch and not something you see everywhere in this class. You’ll also find manual window sunshades on all trims except the base Pure, helping block out that harsh sunlight and giving some privacy to rear passengers.

Getting to the third row is easy peasy. There’s a one-touch button that tilts and slides the second-row seats forward, making a big opening for getting in and out. A cool feature here is that this system works even if you have a child seat installed—though, of course, without a kid in it. So, no need to fuss with removing and reinstalling seats just to access the back. Plus, the button is conveniently located so that someone sitting in the third row can use it too, making exits a breeze.

Now, the third row isn’t the biggest out there with 28 inches of legroom, but honestly, it’s more functional than what you’ll find in a lot of other three-row luxury SUVs. The seats are set at a decent height, which helps avoid that knees-up situation that can be pretty uncomfortable for adults. You’ll find enough padding for short trips, but let’s be real—longer rides might start to wear on adult passengers. As for headroom, it’s okay for folks up to about 5’10”. Taller passengers might start to notice their heads getting close to the ceiling.

What’s nice about the QX60, though, is that it doesn’t skimp on amenities for those in the third row. You’ve got ceiling-mounted air vents that make sure everyone stays comfortable, which is something some competitors—like the Acura MDX—miss out on with their lack of dedicated third-row ventilation. There are also USB charging ports back there, which is super handy for keeping devices powered during those longer trips. Cupholders on both sides and some small storage bins help with keeping personal items organized. And what about the windows? They’re a decent size, helping to prevent that cramped feeling and potential car sickness.

For families with little ones, the QX60 has got you covered with LATCH anchors in the second row and top tether anchors in the third row. This means you can properly install child safety seats wherever you need them in the cabin. This flexibility is a real lifesaver for larger families or those who often find themselves carting around kids of different ages, letting you position each seat just right based on everyone’s needs.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 really shines when it comes to cargo space, which is a big deal for families who need a luxury SUV that can handle both daily life and weekend getaways. So, behind the third row, you’ve got about 14.5 cubic feet of room—enough for a few grocery bags or some weekend luggage for a short trip. If you fold down that third row, the space jumps to 41.6 cubic feet. And if you really need to haul stuff, folding both the second and third rows gives you a whopping 75.4 cubic feet! Now, it’s not necessarily the best in its class, but it’s definitely enough for most family scenarios.

Getting into the cargo area is a breeze, thanks to a standard power liftgate that you’ll find on all the trim levels. If you spring for higher trims like the Sensory or Autograph, you even get this hands-free feature. Just give a little kick under the rear bumper when you’re close with your key fob in hand—super handy when you’ve got your arms full. Plus, the liftgate opens wide and tall, making it easy to load up those bulky items. And the load floor is at a comfy height, so you don’t have to do any heavy lifting to get things inside.

Now, let’s talk about how the QX60 smartly organizes its cargo space. There’s a nice, hidden storage compartment beneath the main cargo floor that’s perfect for stashing smaller items or emergency supplies. It’s lined with hard plastic too, which means clean-up is a cinch if you need it. You’ll also find tie-down anchors to keep loose stuff secure during your drive, plus grocery bag hooks on the sides to stop bags from tumbling over on the way home.

When it comes to the third-row seats, you can fold them down manually using convenient pull straps. Unlike some competitors that have power-folding seats, the QX60 keeps it old-school with manual folding, though it does have a power-return feature to easily raise the seats back up—kind of a neat touch. Those third-row seats fold in a 50/50 split, giving you some flexibility in how you mix passengers and cargo. The second-row bench seat, except for the Autograph trim (which has captain’s chairs), folds in a 60/40 split as well. So, you can carry longer items while still having room for passengers.

With all the seats up, the cargo area might feel a bit shallow from front to back, but it really makes good use of vertical space. The cargo area shape is straightforward and doesn’t have any pesky wheel wells or other obstructions that could make loading larger items a hassle. The cargo floor is nicely carpeted, just like the backs of the folded seats, so when you lower those seats, you get a flat surface that’s super convenient. There’s also a retractable cargo cover available to keep your valuables out of sight, and you can tuck it away under the floor when you don’t need it—no extra space taken up!

If you’re planning to haul stuff on the roof, every QX60 comes with roof rails as standard. On the base models, they’ve got a chrome or silver finish, but if you go for the Black Edition package on the Luxe trim, you get those sporty black-finished rails. You can add crossbars as an accessory too—great for bikes, skis, or any other gear when your interior space is tight or when you just want to keep things outside. The roof itself is built to handle up to 165 pounds of dynamic load while you’re on the move, which is perfect for families who love adventure!

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 is an interesting option if you’re in the market for a luxury three-row SUV. You know, it really stands out with its pricing that’s lower than many European rivals, all while packing in a solid mix of high-end features. You can kick things off with the base Pure trim starting at about $50,200 for front-wheel drive, and if you want everything that the fully-loaded Autograph offers, you’re looking at around $66,500. So, it falls nicely in the middle of that luxury SUV pricing range—it’s pricier than your everyday three-row crossovers but way more wallet-friendly compared to similar models from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi.

About Pure Trim – It’s got a nice array of standard features like leather seats, a panoramic moonroof, tri-zone climate control, and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen that matches up with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Sure, it might not come with all the high-tech bells and whistles seen in the pricier trims, but it still offers a pretty convincing luxury vibe at a price that opens the door for more buyers.

If you bump up to the Luxe trim, which is around $56,800, you get a lot more bang for your buck. We’re talking about a 17-speaker Bose sound system, navigation, remote start, a surround-view camera, and ProPILOT Assist. Don’t forget the new Black Edition package for the Luxe—costing about $1,900—which gives the QX60 a more striking, modern look without needing to jump to a higher trim. For those who care more about style and essential luxury features than the top-end comfort options, the Luxe with the Black Edition package could be the sweet spot.

Then, there’s the Sensory trim, starting at $59,400. It really kicks luxury up a notch with features like massaging front seats, heated second-row seats, an air purification system, and fancier semi-aniline leather. If you want to go further, there’s the Vision Package, adding adaptive lighting, a head-up display, and a digital rearview mirror for another $1,500. With all-wheel drive, you’re looking at about $61,000 for the Sensory trim, which gives you a nearly flagship experience without the high cost of the Autograph. Honestly, it’s a great option for folks wanting a mix of luxury and value.

Now, if you’re ready to go all out, the Autograph trim at $66,500 comes with all the luxury features you could want as standard. It even offers exclusive touches like second-row captain’s chairs, a two-tone exterior with a black roof, and top-tier semi-aniline leather with unique quilting patterns. Yes, it is a bit pricier than the lower trims, but it still manages to beat similarly equipped European luxury SUVs by quite a bit, which is pretty impressive for the premium experience it delivers.

And here’s another thing: the QX60 also shines when it comes to warranty coverage. You get a 4-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, both better than what many competitors offer. Plus, there’s a 3-year/30,000-mile complimentary maintenance program that covers things like oil changes and tire rotations. That definitely helps keep ownership costs down, especially in those first few years, and it’s in line with programs from other luxury brands like BMW and Volvo.

When it comes to fuel economy, the new turbocharged four-cylinder engine is an upgrade over the old V6, boasting EPA ratings of 22 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg combined for front-wheel drive models (it’s 22/27/24 mpg for all-wheel drive). While it may not quite compete with hybrid models from Lexus, it still holds its own within the non-hybrid luxury SUV crowd and can help you save on running costs compared to the older generation.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the QX60 may not hold its resale value as well as some competitors, especially those from Lexus and certain European brands. Reports suggest it might retain about 41.2% of its value after five years. That’s not bad compared to some luxury brands, but it does fall short of the best in the segment. So, if you’re someone who tends to switch cars every few years, this is definitely something to consider in the overall cost of ownership.

Ultimately, the QX60 is a strong contender for buyers who prioritize comfort, tech features, and practicality over driving thrills or brand prestige. With its mix of genuine luxury touches, enough space for up to seven passengers, and reasonable pricing, it kind of strikes a balance between mainstream three-row crossovers and pricier European luxury SUVs. For families stepping up from non-luxury brands or those looking to maximize luxury features per dollar spent, the 2025 QX60—particularly in Sensory or well-equipped Luxe trim—represents an excellent value that doesn’t require significant compromises in quality or features.
