QX50 vs QX60 Which Is Best For You

How do you know when you have the right SUV? 

You can measure it by how many seats you need. How much cargo capacity is available to you? What kind of towing will you be doing? What tasks do you have in mind – the school run, vacation, using it for work? So many questions to answer. So many choices. 

At INFINITI, we have a lot of customers asking which SUV is best for them. They look at the QX50 and QX60, then consider which will work for them. Let’s take a look at both of our popular SUVs. 

The QX50 is our two-row SUV that offers sporty driving and a versatile cabin. With seating up to five people, they are treated to a comfortable space designed to get them where they need to go. You also have flexible cargo space with up to 31.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, expanding to 65.1 cubic feet with the rear seats down.    

If you’re looking for more seats, the QX60 has three rows of them. You can seat up to seven passengers comfortably. It also offers a range of cargo space, creating the right mix of passengers and their luggage. That starts with 14.5 cubic feet of space with all three rows up, ultimately expanding to 75.4 cubic feet with both the second and third-row seats down. 

The 2.0-liter Variable Compression turbocharged engine powers the QX50 and QX60. This advanced engine physically transforms stroke lengths and compression ratios on the fly. This unique engine offers exceptional everyday efficiency with grin-inducing performance. In both the QX50 and QX60, this engine puts down 268 horsepower. They offer similar but slightly different low-end torque numbers. In the QX50, that means 280 pound-feet of torque, while the QX60 has a bit more with 286 pound-feet.  

They also deliver similar fuel economy figures. The QX50 earns up to 25 MPG combined, while the QX60 can get up to 24 MPG Combined. The EPA rates each based on their testing in both the city and on the highway. As a bonus, the QX60 can tow up to 6,000 pounds.    

When it comes to safety, the QX50 and QX60 offer the best features for the ultimate peace of mind. ProPILOT Assist with Navi-Link is offered on both models, giving you more confidence when you need it. This feature is designed to keep you and your INFINITI SUV safe so you can brake smoother, corner more naturally, and provide a more confident drive overall.  

There’s so much more to say when it comes to deciding between two of our SUVs. It comes down to what you need and want from your next vehicle. Passenger and cargo space, performance, safety and driver assistance features, and technology. No matter which one you choose, these INFINITI SUVs are definitely great choices.
