![]() Instead, its chassis largely mirrors that of the Pathfinder (except that Infiniti doesn't bother with an off-road setup, a la the Pathfinder Rock Creek). The QX60 lacks adaptive dampers or air springs, hardware that's common among premium-brand SUVs in this segment. In our 75-mph real-world fuel-economy test, the QX60 returned 24 mpg, which bests the MDX and the Cadillac XT6 (both 22 mpg) but was 4 mpg below the Pathfinder's result. EPA estimates for the new QX60 are 21/26 mpg with front-wheel drive and 20/25 mpg with AWD, both 1 mpg better in the city and 1 mpg lower on the highway than before. We might have expected a decline in fuel economy with the departure of the continuously variable transmission, but ditching the CVT has resulted in no real penalty. Those times nose past the Acura MDX (6.4 seconds to 60, a 15.1-second quarter-mile) and also the Pathfinder (which hits 60 mph in 6.6 seconds and pushes through the quarter-mile in 15.2). This combo hustled the QX60 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, a significant improvement over the previous-gen's 7.1 seconds it also dispatched the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds. As before, front-wheel drive is standard, though our test example had all-wheel drive. The ZF-sourced gearbox snaps off crisp downshifts (more eagerly in Sport mode) and eliminates the droning and slurred response of the previous QX60. (The off-road-focused Pathfinder Rock Creek also produces 295 horses on premium.) Despite unchanged output, this engine is reinvigorated now that it's no longer shackled to a continuously variable transmission but is instead paired with a nine-speed automatic. The 3.5-liter V-6 again delivers 295 horsepower on its diet of premium fuel-versus 284 horses in the Nissan Pathfinder, which drinks regular. Under the skin, the Infiniti's sole engine is unchanged. ![]() A Look Back at Infiniti's First 30 Years.QX60 SENSORY models equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive can opt for a Tow Package that adds a tow receiver, wiring, and uprated transmission oil cooler that delivers a 6,000-pound braked towing capacity, a 2,500-pound increase over the standard 3,500-pound capacity, which costs $900 MSRP.
