With so many great options available in the luxury midsize SUV segment, it takes a lot for something to stand out these days. The 2024 Infiniti QX60 isn’t exactly what I would call a “standout,” but it’s an under-the-radar option that might just surprise you. KSL Cars recently got to take the Infiniti QX60 Autograph out for a weeklong test drive. Here’s what we think you should know before you decide to park this thing in your garage for the long haul.

(Note: All prices are for front-wheel-drive models. Adding all-wheel drive costs an additional $2,000 for all trims except Autograph, which costs $2,900.)

Our QX60 Autograph tester had a base MSRP of $66,100. Added options included the Lighting package, a grille emblem and premium paint, which boosted the price to $69,445. At this level, you’re spending quite a bit of cash on a midsize SUV. 

Given the fact that you get the same 3.5-liter V6 engine in all models, it’s worth considering a lower trim to save some money if you’re on a budget. Personally, as nice as it is, I wouldn’t shell out nearly $70,000 for this particular midsize SUV.

Not Much Excitement Behind the Wheel — But That’s Okay 

If you’re after something that’s going to get your heart pounding when you step on the gas, this is not the crossover for you. The Infiniti QX60 has a decently punchy 295-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, but there’s no question that other options in the segment are faster and more powerful. (The BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are better luxury midsize SUVs if high performance is your priority.)

The QX60 is kind of like the kid in grade school who shows up to class on time, has perfect penmanship, turns in every assignment and doesn’t draw a lot of attention to themselves. You know — the kind of student that just makes the teacher’s life easier. That’s what the QX60, especially in the top-level Autograph trim, does for drivers. It’s there to help you accomplish your daily tasks without much fanfare. 

The QX60’s Biggest Selling Points

The QX60 does a lot of things right. Here’s what we liked most:

Beautiful Inside and Out

When you’re driving a midsize luxury SUV, you expect a certain level of refinement, and the QX60 certainly delivers. It’s a pretty picture to look at, whether you’re judging its curb appeal or its interior lavishness. My Autograph tester came with a gorgeous quilted leather interior that was just as easy on the eyes as it was on the thighs. I especially liked the quilted look on the lower half of the dashboard, just under the infotainment screen. Little design touches like these can really set a luxury vehicle apart from non-luxury rides.

A Comfortable Place to Be

The QX60 doesn’t just look nice; it’s pretty spacious and comfortable, too. I have what I call a “first sit” test, where I gauge how comfortable a car feels the first time I sit in the driver’s seat. The QX60 passed with flying colors. On more than one occasion, I found myself lingering in the car long after I’d killed the engine, just so I could enjoy a few more moments of being cushioned in that seat. It should speak to the seat’s comfort levels that I never felt the need to use the massaging function that came with my tester. 

The second-row captain’s chairs on our QX60 Autograph were also comfortably and amply spacious, especially for our two kids. As with many midsize SUVs that offer a third row, this one was tight, but at least it was easy to access. I’m always grateful for that feature when it comes time to pick up the kids in my carpool.

Plenty of Space for Your Stuff

In terms of cargo space, the QX60 is more generous than many of its luxury midsize SUV rivals. You get 14.5 cubic feet of storage behind that tiny third row, 41.6 cubic feet when you fold the third row down and 75.4 cubic feet of total storage space when all rear seats are folded. My tester had the hands-free power liftgate, which was good because locating the button for the hatch proved to be a little tricky. (It was a little button under the logo, in case you were wondering.)

Lots of Features for the Price

Infiniti is proud of the fact that the QX60 offers a handful of standard features you won’t find on competing models. For instance, you get a higher level of standard horsepower than the Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Lexus TX. These models also don’t come standard with a heated steering wheel — but the QX60 does! What’s more, you get extra legroom and Predictive Forward Collision Warning, which can alert drivers when a vehicle two cars ahead of you in the same lane suddenly brakes. More safety, more comfort, more power — the Qx60 just offers, well, more.

Would I Recommend the Infiniti QX60 to Friends and Family? 

For the right buyer, the 2024 Infiniti QX60 is a great choice. If you want a midsize luxury SUV that packs in a lot of value for its price, there are few faults to find with the QX60. That said, I’d be more inclined to recommend a lower trim instead of the top-tier Autograph level, because you’ll still have loads of features for a much lower cost. For example, the Luxe trim, which is just above the entry-level Pure model, gives you navigation, heated and ventilated front seats and a surround-view camera system for nearly $10,000 cheaper than the top-level Autograph. As much as I love the quilted leather upholstery, I would sacrifice that to save quite a bit of cash.
