A Battle of Cutting-edge Technology and Sleek Design

When you think of luxury, what comes to mind? Maybe something commanding and elegant, yet sophisticated and confidence-inspiring. But here's the kicker - what if luxury could also be familiar and accommodating yet still thrilling and engaging? Introducing the 2023 Infiniti QX60 luxury crossover SUV - a remarkable feat of design and engineering that exudes opulence from every angle and provides unparalleled luxury for every passenger.

Designed to seamlessly integrate into your busy lifestyle, the latest-generation QX60 offers a refined driving experience that caters to modern-day adventurers, with a powerful V6 engine and a luxurious interior that's perfect for families and long road trips.

But can the new QX60 SUV hold its ground when it goes head-to-head with the competition? It's a tough call, as the 2023 Audi Q5 also brings its A-game to the table with sleek designs, advanced technology, and impressive performance.

Distinctive Design and Expressive Styling

INFINITI have crafted the QX60 to perfection, with every detail carefully considered to deliver a vehicle that's functional and visually striking. The result is a compact SUV that exudes beauty and sophistication without compromising on performance and functionality. As the first INFINITI model to feature two-tone styling, the QX60 offers an all-black roof option that contrasts brilliantly with the main body hue, adding a touch of sophistication to an already impressive vehicle.

The QX60 exudes an air of sophistication with its clean lines and well-defined contours. The muscular front bumper, with its singular underguard style accent, speaks to the vehicle's SUV prowess and capability.

Inside, the QX60 feels like a personal luxury lounge on wheels! Whether you're up front, lounging in the second row, or taking in the view from the back, this SUV is designed to make you feel like a total boss.

With a three-row interior layout that can fit up to seven passengers, the vehicle's luxed-up cabin boasts premium materials to ensure a comfortable and refined ride. Both front seats feature eight-way power adjustments and heating capabilities, while higher trim levels offer additional amenities such as ventilated front seats, a massage feature, and heated rear seats. Plus, you can keep the whole crew comfortable with dual-zone automatic climate control or upgrade to the three-zone system with an air purifier for the ultimate fresh-air luxury.

The 2023 Audi Q5 also boasts premium, expressive styling, and thoughtful design elements such as bi-color finish, black roof rails, sporty accents, a premium cabin, and available OLED taillights, making for an elevated driving experience. Unlike the INFINITI QX60, the Audi Q5 only makes room for up to five adults and comes a bit behind in terms of cargo space.

Sophisticated Technology On Wheels

The 2023 INFINITI QX60 is the perfect blend of style and functionality, boasting a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration - so you can stay connected and rock out while on the move! And with the optional 12.3-inch digital gauge display and 10.8-inch head-up display, you'll have all the important information for a smooth and safe drive right at your fingertips.

The QX60 also boasts a standard, awe-inspiring panoramic roof and Wi-Fi hotspot, so you'll never have to deal with dead zones or a lack of connectivity again! But that's not all - upgrade to the 17-speaker Bose premium stereo system, and you'll feel like you're at the front row of your favorite concert every time you hit the road.

By comparison, the 2023 Audi Q5 offers a 12.3-inch digital gauge display and a smaller 10.1-inch infotainment dashtop screen across all trims, with all the expected infotainment features - including Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ - at your fingertips.

A Fuel-efficient Powerhouse

The INFINITI QX60 offers a unique combination of raw power and refined performance, combining the robust build of a mid-size vehicle with the sleekness and agility of a sports car. With a peppy 3.5-liter V6 engine that pairs with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, it delivers an impressive 295 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft of torque, zipping you through the city or down a highway ramp in a smooth and mellifluous ride.

Don't worry about rough terrain - the QX60 offers optional all-wheel drive for extra traction, or go for the standard front-wheel drive option. But that's not all - the QX60 is a beast when it comes to towing capacity, with a whopping 6000 pounds at your fingertips.

What’s more, the 2023 QX60 is a fuel-efficient marvel that'll make you forget about those pesky gas station visits. With an EPA rating of 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway for front-wheel-drive models, you'll be cruising with confidence and without breaking the bank.

On the other hand, the 2023 Audi Q5 turns out 201 horsepower on its base model, with the higher Q5 45 model cranking out 261 horses and 273 lb-ft of torque on an all-wheel drive and 7-speed automatic transmission, which may be good but not enough to match the QX60’s.

Extensive Safety Features

The 2023 INFINITI QX60 comes equipped with a range of standard driver-assistance features, complemented by optional high-tech upgrades. One such upgrade is the adaptive cruise control system that leverages the navigation data provided by the available ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link navigation data to proactively adjust speed ahead of upcoming curves, allowing you to handle each turn with precision and style.

With an available digital Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, now better than ever, you can stay aware of your immediate surroundings and get the confidence you need to park like a pro and back up with ease.

The latest-generation Audi Q5's standard driver-assistance technology includes automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and forward-collision warning, making you feel like a superhero with spidey sense.
