The 2023 Infiniti QX60 is the Better Luxury SUV than a BMW

[@asiffarooqui6789]

I bought a 2022 Autograph and my friend bought and X5 at the same time. I got way more features for way less money than she paid. I love my QX60

Just recently bought a 2023 Sensory AWD with the tow package, propilot and heads up. Bench second row. I'm 6'1 and love the head and leg room. Unlike another commenter I had no issues with leg hitting console. Took it on a long road trip and loved it. Didn't feel beat up after the drive. Might add tow package gives you a transmission cooler which is great even if you don't tow. There is a learning curve though learning all the electronic aids. Take ur time and you will learn it. I'm still learning them. Might add BMW will send you to the poor house on maintenance, part and repair cost. Not as bad as land rover but close.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Congratulations, I also own the QX60, I’m on my second one which now has over 155k on it. Both we bought new and service as stated by the box. Thanks for your insight 👍

Just leased this today, haha. Came from the q50 hybrid - I’ve been looking for a full size SUV and Infiniti has been behind for some time on tech until now. Loved it from the first moment I saw it, and was sold when I took it out for a drive. The lane assist is phenomenal, luxury is great, plus both the comfort and polish are all outstanding.

Congrats and I agree they are awesome 👍

I have a 2022 Autograph model.. I wish it had fog lights in the front... that would add so much look to it.

[@HawkeyeRides]

That is true, great SUVs 👍

[@JaBrandonSpoons]

I bought an X5 over a QX60 because Infiniti still doesn’t seem to care about their center screen UI design. It is mind blowing to me that they fell so far behind and when they finally upgraded they gave you something you’d expect in something like a Chevy. I love Infiniti but it seems like I’ll have to wait another decade to buy one.

[@HawkeyeRides]

The x5 is awesome congratulations 👍

[@DBLG65]

I don't think any luxury car should have any plastic on the outside. Never liked the black trim around the wheel wells.

[@HawkeyeRides]

I’m not a big fan of plastic but all vehicle have it through the vehicle and I agree that black trim would be better to be the same as the body of the vehicle.

[@killsapm8883]

One of the biggest complaints I have as a previous owner of an X5, I find QX60 2023 to be harsher concerning the suspension. The other issue I have is that when you rest your leg against center consol after a while you will notice discomfort on your knee. Not noticeable on short drives but, after a long drive... Bad ergonomics, especially for someone of 6"2 height. Oh, another issue, even is AWD, traction distribution is biased to the front. If I knew better I would still be driving the X5.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thank you for your insight, I am a 2013 and 2014 owner, bought both new. The refresh is tighter inside then the first generation. I agree with you on the drive side, also much tighter in the 3rd row and closer 2nd row as I stated in the review 👍

[@colestony]

I found it to be noisy and the transmission was clunky when I downshifted with paddles

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

I cannot remember what it was, I saw or heard that has me thinking you are in the market for a new ride. 9 speed transmission no gloss black. I was sold.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Maybe the touch screen for the climate control, the QX60 is awesome and a 9 speed is always a favorite over a cvt when it comes to performance. It’s a great value and if it was up to my wife, it would be in my gauge 😁.

[@mdlamborn]

3 Things drives me crazy about this car are mostly petty but... When you put it in park it leave a fingerprint that looks like your shifter was dusted for fingerprints, My phone slides around and makes it impossible to charge while driving in town, Apple CarPlay randomally makes loud pops and cracking sounds,

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thank you for the insight 👍

[@s.patterson5698]

Lovely exterior exterior except for the grille. I would make the base of the grille smaller than the top. That would absolutely make it super sweet and hard to pass on. Exterior more luxurious than the MDX, but I ended up buying the MDX because it connected with me more once I was behind the wheel.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Congratulations with the MDX both are awesome vehicles 👍

[@Curious_Cat123]

Why is isn’t the Infinity QX60 ever compared to the new Lexus RX350? Anyway, coming from a Lexus, I really like the stiffer suspension (but not too stiff) and the fact that the Infinity still offers a 6 cylinder engine as apposed to a 4 cylinder turbo. For most of us, 295 hp is plenty of power. And as a bonus, it runs perfectly on regular unleaded gasoline. I’m very happy with my Sensory version QX60.

[@HawkeyeRides]

One big reason is the RX is not a 3 row and the L model is more for cargo. I have a few different reviews here is one of my personal Autograph: 2023 Infiniti QX60 Autograph is it too Good to be True :All Specs & Test Drive kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnSki3iEpt-jmKc

[@Curious_Cat123]

@@HawkeyeRides The lack of a 3rd row seems to be a minor reason for not making a comparison of the two mid-sized SUV’s. I myself had narrowed down my purchase to the Lexus RX350 (2023) and the Infinity QX60 (2023). The 3rd row was simply a bonus for me (not likely to be used often). The deciding factor was a 6 cylinder engine standard on the Infinity as opposed to a 4 cylinder turbo standard with the Lexus. I also like the slightly tighter suspension offered by Infinity.

[@HawkeyeRides]

[@TheRedskinsnews1]

Will they announce the 2024 version. I know there won’t be MAJOR changes. But i want to see before we pull the trigger.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Updated colors on the exterior, they might tweet the headlights and front grille (normally Infiniti waits on this for 3/4 years after the refresh), added packaging and increased price. It will not have major updates, carry over engine and transmission. I bought mine a couple months ago (autograph) but if you can wait right before they come out you might get a better deal. Right now Infiniti is offering 4.49 72 months, 2k loyalty and Infiniti is giving 3 year’s maintenance included for 2023 models (on new purchases) 👍

[@TheRedskinsnews1]

@@HawkeyeRides Yes i was typically thinking those things as well. Saw some rumors regarding infotainment update. But wasn’t sure on that.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Because it’s so new, I can see it getting updated but this will be more of a software update. I did hear the same but normally Infiniti doesn’t do any major updates for more than 4 years. Infiniti told me that if customers want added features on the infotainment (like the 2023 Nissan Aryia has the Navigation in the driver cluster but Infiniti doesn’t have this, only a compass) they will update the system.

My QX60 2023 has a poor quality car seat leather. It stretches and wrinkles remarkably after just 3,000 miles. My dealership replaced it with a new leather but they could not make it flat. The new leather still has big waves and wrinkles on the surface. They refused to repair it further. What should I do?

[@HawkeyeRides]

Call Infiniti / Nissan North America, let them know that the dealership fixed it but it still has problems. Keep a good relationship with your dealership so the process will move forward. They will contact the dealer and see what is going on and since it’s still very new they should work with you to resolve any problems.

@@HawkeyeRides Great review! I test drove the Aviator Reserve a few weeks ago, but after doing a ton of research afterwards, I have seen a lot of bad/mediocre reviews. Some goods ones mixed in as well. Some instances, I have seen reported "buy backs" on some Aviators due to different issues/complaints buy owners. So as much as I love the Aviator regardless, watching your review, makes me want to test drive the QX60 in comparison. So in your opinion, if money was not an issue and you had to pick one, which one would you pick? Aviator or QX60?

My QX60 2023 (Autograph) looks very nice, but has a lot of problems....hope someone can help me... 1- The outside rearview mirrors vibrate or shake slightly while driving, mostly on the driver's side. 2- The problem on the climate control panel persists, at 7:00 pm when the auto dim system is engaged automatically (light sensor), it's impossible to see any in the Climate control , I need to set the dim Instrument Brightness Control to the maximum position to see what's going on! 3- When Shift to parking, sometimes, the unlock doors function doesn't work. When you set it on ÏGINITION OFF" it works fine.
