2022 Infiniti QX60 Will Battle MDX and XC90 with More Standard Features

• The Infiniti QX60 will start at $47,875.

• Load it up and it can top out at almost 65 grand.

• The new Infiniti competes with the likes of the Volvo XC90 and Acura MDX.

How will the coming Infiniti QX60 do battle with established mid-sized luxury juggernauts like the Acura MDX, Volvo XC90, Lincoln Aviator and the all-conquering Lexus RX? Features.

At least that’s the takeaway from Infiniti’s latest release on the all-new QX60 crossover. QX60 will arrive this fall in four trim levels: Pure, Luxe, Sensory and Autograph. All are available in front- or all-wheel drive, with awd being a $2,000 option on any trim you choose. But even the entry level Pure is well equipped, says Infiniti.

Starting at the beginning, because that’s a good place to start, all 2022 QX60s come with: a 12.3-inch “InTouch™ Interactive Display” that includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and USB-based Android Auto™, leather-wrapped seats in the first and second rows, a ginormous panoramic moonroof, power liftgate, and rear parking sensors. Standard seats on all trims are heated, 8-way power-adjustable “zero gravity” in front with power lumbar adjustment. The driver’s seat features dual-occupant memory functionality linked with the outside mirrors. The second-row bench seat features 60/40-split fold and one-touch release for effortless third-row access, even when child safety seats occupy the second row. The latter is an Infiniti specialty.

The new Q shares mechanicals with the new Pathfinder but the QX60 gets more horsepower and torque, 295 hp vs. the Pathfinder’s 284 and 270 lb ft vs. 259 in torque. The two trucks share their rated 6,000-pound towing capacities.

And that’s all in the base-model Pure.
