Buying tip
features & specs
Infiniti’s 2025 QX60 combines a welcoming cabin with upscale features, making a great choice for a luxurious, family-friendly SUV.
What kind of vehicle is the 2025 Infiniti QX60? What does it compare to?
The Infiniti QX60 is a roomy crossover SUV with three luxurious rows of seating. Compare it to the related Nissan Pathfinder, as well as the Acura MDX, Buick Enclave, and Volvo XC90.
Is the 2025 Infiniti QX60 a good SUV?
Yes. It combines three rows of seating, an upscale cabin, and plenty of safety features, adding up to a 7.0 TCC Rating out of a potential 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What's new for the 2025 Infiniti QX60?
Infiniti swaps out the QX60’s V-6 engine in favor of a turbo-4, not for power but for a slight increase to fuel economy ratings. Horsepower takes a slight hit, though torque is improved. The QX60 now comes standard with proximity lock and unlock courtesy of an updated key fob.
A new Black Edition package, available on the mid-grade Luxe model, adds exclusive black styling elements inside and out, as well as accent lighting. Finally, Harbor Gray paint joins the exterior color palette.
The QX60 elevates itself against its cousin, the Nissan Pathfinder, with svelte rather than sturdy lines. Unpainted cladding and fender flares add a touch of ruggedness, though big wheels and plenty of brightwork make clear this Infiniti isn’t intended for, well, pathfinding.
Inside, the QX60 is much more upscale, with elegant design and soothing colors. Some cost-cutting measures are apparent, with knobs and switches lifted from the Pathfinder.
For 2025, the QX60 switches to a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine, though it retains the 9-speed automatic transmission. It’s good for 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, delivered to the front or all four wheels. Infiniti touts a bump in fuel economy ratings for the switch, but those improvements are minor, and the QX60 would still benefit from a hybrid option to keep pace with rivals.
Interior space is this Infiniti’s best asset, with plenty of passenger room in the first and second rows, and even a third row that can seat adults if necessary. The second row can slide forward even with child safety seats installed.
Most competitors have more cargo space behind the third row, though the QX60 opens up to a respectable 41.6 cubic feet with the third row folded down.
The QX60 fared well in its 2024 round of crash testing, and includes plenty of driver-assist technology, such as automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, and blind-spot monitors. The ProPilot Assist system is available on all but the base trim, for limited hands-free driving.
How much does the 2025 Infiniti QX60 cost?
The 2025 QX60 starts at $51,550 for the base Pure trim with front-wheel drive, or $53,550 with power to all four wheels. That includes the $1,350 destination charge. Features include power-adjustable front seats and real leather.
The Luxe starts at $58,150, the Sensory at $60,350, and the Autograph at $67,500. All are available with all-wheel drive, and it’s standard on the Autograph, which also features premium leather and open-pore wood trim.
Where is the 2025 Infiniti QX60 made?
Infiniti builds the QX60 in Tennessee.
2025 INFINITI QX60 Styling
The 2025 Infiniti QX60 combines upscale but conservative styling cues.
Is the Infiniti QX60 a good-looking car?
It’s not groundbreaking in any way, but it’s nice. The 2025 Infiniti QX60 scores an 8, with one point for exterior styling and two points for the interior.
Up front, the QX60 wears a broad grille with a faux underbody skid plate peeking out from underneath, which complements the unpainted trim. However, the 18- and 20-inch wheel designs betray any aspirations at ruggedness. The sides flow to a busy rear, festooned with brightwork along the bumper.
The Luxe trim is available with a new Black Edition package, which incorporates gloss-black 20-inch wheels, gloss-black roof rails and trim elements, and an illuminated grille badge and door sills. Inside, the Luxe Black Edition gets a black headliner.
The top-tier Autograph wears elegant two-tone paint, though the price is worth second-guessing. This version also gets premium leather and pretty open-pore wood trim.
The cabin is gorgeous, even with the base synthetic leather, thanks to a flowing dashboard, a driver-oriented layout, and plenty of physical controls. The 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen is well integrated, and the overall atmosphere is well complemented by a range of available color combinations.
2025 INFINITI QX60 Performance
A smooth ride helps the 2025 Infiniti QX60 shine.
Though it’s not fast, this Infiniti has a refined, comfortable ride, worthy of a point for a 6 on our scale.
Is the Infiniti QX60 4WD?
Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available across the lineup for an additional $2,000, though it comes standard on the top Autograph trim. The system sends most power to the front wheels, though extra traction can be sent to the rear axle to rectify slippage. Keep in mind, though, this is no off-roader.
How fast is the Infiniti QX60?
For 2025, Infiniti swaps out the old 295-hp V-6 in favor of a 2.0-liter turbo-4, which doesn’t much affect speed but provides a slight boost to fuel economy ratings. Horsepower drops to 268, though torque actually sees a bump, from 270 to 286 lb-ft.
The 9-speed automatic transmission carries over, with generally good responses, especially in city traffic, and quiet refinement.
The QX60 features a softly tuned independent suspension system that works best with the base 18-inch wheels but is still reasonably comfortable on the available 20-inchers. Highway travel is quiet, refined, and stable, particularly with Infiniti’s optional ProPilot Assist hands-off technology.
Towing capacity maxes out at 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.
2025 INFINITI QX60 Comfort & Quality
The 2025 QX60 impresses with a spacious, thoughtfully equipped cabin.
The 2025 Infiniti QX60 racks up points for its spacious first and second rows, generous cargo capacity, and seating for up to 7. It’s a 9 for comfort and quality. The only notable complaint is that the second-row captain’s chairs are exclusive to the top Autograph model.
Leather upholstery comes standard, along with 8-way power-adjustable front seats with lumbar adjustments, memory settings, and heating. Cooled front seats are standard on all beyond the base trim.
The second row is spacious enough for adults, thanks to its wide doors and generous legroom. The rearmost row will be a snug fit for taller passengers, though kids and teens will be fine. The second-row seats can be adjusted to offer third-row access without removing child safety seats.
Though the QX60’s cargo hold measures just 14.5 cubic feet with all seats up, it opens up to 41.6 and 75.4 cubic feet with the third and second rows folded down, respectively.
This Infiniti has an upscale look and feel, though the expensive Sensory trim is the first to feature genuine wood trim. Though some switchgear is borrowed from the Nissan Pathfinder, it’s not too much of a distraction.
2025 INFINITI QX60 Safety
Good crash-test scores and safety tech add to the Infiniti QX60’s appeal.
How safe is the Infiniti QX60?
The 2024 QX60 earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating and a NHTSA five-star overall rating, though the 2025 model hasn’t yet had scores published. Infiniti racks up a point each for those ratings, and another point each for its standard and available crash-avoidance tech. That’s good for a 9.
While the IIHS rating incorporates all top Good crash-test scores, the QX60 scored four stars in both the NHTSA frontal crash and rollover evaluations.
Standard features include automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, and blind-spot monitors. Skip the base trim to get Infiniti’s ProPilot Assist system, which combines adaptive cruise control and active lane control to enable short stints of hands-free driving. Infiniti offers adaptive headlights on mid-grade Luxe and Sensory models, and includes them with the top Autograph.
2025 INFINITI QX60 Features
Infiniti loads the 2025 QX60 with luxury amenities.
The 2025 Infiniti QX60 can get expensive, but the base trim is well equipped and there are plenty of impressive options. It racks up points for standard features, the big touchscreen, and a competitive warranty, for an 8.
The base Pure model starts at $51,550, including a $1,350 destination charge, and all-wheel drive adds $2,000. It features a new proximity key, leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, wired Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and a big sunroof.
Infiniti backs the QX60 with a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty and three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance.
Which Infiniti QX60 should I buy?
Though the base model is a decent value, the $58,150 Luxe is our pick. It adds cooled front seats and eye-catching 20-inch wheels. This trim is available with adaptive headlights and Bose audio as well. For 2025, a new Black Edition package for $1,900 adds puddle lamps and illuminated door sill plates, gloss-black 20-inch wheels, gloss-black exterior trim, and black interior styling elements, including the headliner.
How much is a fully loaded Infiniti QX60?
The Autograph starts at $67,500 and includes all-wheel drive. This is the only version available with second-row captain’s chairs, and it also adds premium leather upholstery and massaging front seats.
2025 INFINITI QX60 Fuel Economy
This Infiniti would benefit from a hybrid option.
Is the Infiniti QX60 good on gas?
No, even though the QX60 is marginally more efficient for 2025. All versions of the Infiniti QX60 are on the thirsty side, and there are no hybrid powertrain options to ease the pain. With front-wheel drive, the QX60 rates at 22 mpg city, 28 highway, and 24 combined. Numbers fall to 22/27/24 mpg with all-wheel drive. That’s a 2.
The 2025 QX60 requires premium fuel.
