Sacramento, California -- I remember driving a big Infiniti QX4 sport-ute back in 2000; I was particularly impressed with the luxurious look and feel of the vehicle, and the attention to detail within reach of the driver's seat.
All that remains in the tested 2023 Infiniti QX60 Sensory AWD sport-utility vehicle ... only about three times better.
The QX60 just drips with luxury, and it starts before you even step into the vehicle. Auto reviewers have praised the elegant lines and smoothly sculpted front of the QX60, and rightly so. This SUV will turn heads in the fanciest country club driveway.
Inside, it's a five-star hotel suite. Perfectly placed leather, wood and chrome touches make you feel at home.
Helpful comfort and convenience features can be found bumper to bumper. The long list of standard perks on the tester included a power panoramic moonroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, power/folding/heated/auto-dimming exterior mirrors, a motion-activated rear liftgate, power/heated/ventilated/massaging front seats and rear door sunshades.
Shouldn't I be paying 80-grand for this vehicle? And yet the bottom line on the tester's sticker was a mere $64,785.
The tested QX60 was silky smooth and quiet on the open road, with the 3.5-liter V-6 engine (295 horsepower) handling the chores with effortless ease. The QX60 was surprisingly robust off the line, which helped me negotiate inner city traffic with confidence.
There is some slight body roll on sharp corners taken at high speed, but nothing out of line for a vehicle of this size. Fuel mileage is OK at 20 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
Overall, luxury lovers should be pleased to step behind the wheel of the QX60, with the bonus of knowing that similarly equipped vehicles are priced at thousands of dollars more.
