Towing Capacity
The INFINITI QX60 outshines these two competitors with a robust 6,000 lbs. of towing capacity. This is a tremendous feature and makes it the best choice among the three for those who need to tow heavier loads, such as boats, trailers, or RVs.
Performance and Power
The QX60 is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, more than both the Telluride and Palisade. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the engine delivers smooth and responsive acceleration, allowing the QX60 to offer strong performance for daily driving and highway cruising.
The increased horsepower and torque make the driving experience more fun and exciting, especially when accelerating or passing. The 9-speed automatic transmission creates smoother gear shifts, and the additional gear ratio helps optimize engine performance across a wider range of speeds, enhancing both acceleration and fuel economy.
Handling and Driving
Known for its luxury focus, the QX60 offers a refined driving experience with responsive steering and a suspension system tuned for comfort and stability. The available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system enhances traction and handling, particularly in adverse weather conditions or during spirited driving. The QX60’s luxury-oriented tuning, combined with its AWD system, may provide a more agile handle. It also has wider tires than either the Telluride and Palisade, which are better for acceleration and handling.
A Quiet Ride
Luxury vehicles usually drive with less noise and the QX60 is no exception. It was designed with an emphasis on cabin quietness and ride comfort. Noise insulation, suspension tuning, and high-quality materials, both interior and exterior, contribute to a quieter and more refined ride, enhancing the overall driving experience. The QX60 is the winner when it comes to interior quiet and ride smoothness.
Safety and Technology
Equipped with ProPILOT Assist, the QX60 offers advanced driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering technology, and advanced safety features. INFINITI’s commitment to integrating technology seamlessly into its luxury vehicles gives the QX60 a technological edge.
While the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade offer robust safety and driver assistance features, INFINITI’s ProPILOT Assist’s seamless integration and premium features in the QX60 provide a more refined driving experience, particularly in highway driving and stop-and-go traffic.
Interior
As a luxury brand, INFINITI places a strong emphasis on high-quality materials, refined cabin design, and attention to detail. The QX60 features leather upholstery, real wood trim, and other upscale materials that give it a more luxurious feel compared to its competitors.
The INFINITI QX60 stands out in terms of power and performance with its more powerful engine, refined 9-speed transmission, superior towing capacity, and luxury-focused driving dynamics. These features make the QX60 a strong choice for buyers seeking a luxury family SUV with a balance of power, comfort, and the capability to handle a variety of driving situations.
