If you're considering replacing your current car with a luxury crossover SUV from the INFINITI brand, you might want to consider the alluring INFINITI QX55 and INFINITI QX60 models. Both vehicles rate high in driving quality and reliability and pack a powerful performance. They also have visually impressive exteriors and interiors.
INFINITI QX55 vs. INFINITI QX60
Understanding the differences between the INFINITI QX55 and INFINITI QX60 can help you to make your buying decision. The two vehicles differ in the following ways:
Exterior of QX55
The QX55 has an elegant crossover coupe silhouette with aerodynamic lines and angular curves. The car has a sloping coupe-back design, an angled roof, tapered side windows, and a curved, pronounced hood. Along with a sporty spoiler, the vehicle has INFINITI's signature double-arch front grille with an interwoven design inspired by origami. This grille design is unique to the QX55. The car has attention-getting digital piano key taillights, triangular headlights, and high front air vents.
The license plate is on the car bumper, and the INFINITI badge cleverly integrates the power liftgate button into its design. The QX55 has eye-catching 20-inch dark-painted, machine-finished aluminum alloy wheels.
Exterior of QX60
The elegant, well-proportioned exterior design of the QX60, with its eye-catching lines and curves, derives from the Japanese concept of "Ma," or negative space. The vehicle has a pronounced hood with a boxy style, a high waistline, sculpted sides, and an all-black flat roof that contrasts vividly with the two-toned car body. The QX60 is the only INFINITI model with a two-tone style. The car has black accented side windows, and its rear D-pillar comes with a wrap-around glass arrangement that conveys a clean, luxurious simplicity.
For illumination, the QX60 has slanted headlights, a horizontal taillight bar, and digital piano key lighting, which is unique to INFINITI models. The machined aluminum alloy wheels are 18-inch and come with a charcoal metallic finish and 255/60R18 all-season tires.
Interior of QX55
When you get into the INFINITI QX55, you'll notice that the luxurious cabin is asymmetrical, stylish, and designed to be comfortable. It has a Monaco Red and graphite contrasting interior with laser-cut stitching for the seats, the door panels, and the dashboard. You can choose a black natural maple wood or a dark aluminum interior trim. The rear seats slide back to make an extra 6 inches of legroom for rear passengers, and you can fold them down when you want more luggage capacity. The QX55 can fit five passengers and has 54.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
The rear liftgate is motion-activated, so you can get hands-free access by swinging your foot under the bumper. You can also activate it by pressing a button hidden in the INFINITI badge. The QX55's driver-assist technologies include ProPILOT Assist, Direct Adaptive Steering, Acceleration Swell, Blind Spot Warning, and Predictive Forward Collision Warning. There are dual touch screens, with navigation and apps on top and comfort and audio controls below. The head-up display projects key information on the windshield's lower part for your convenience.
Interior of QX60
The spacious interior of the QX60 has three rows of seats arranged in a theater style, with the second row slightly higher than the first row and the third row slightly higher than the second row. Up to seven passengers can fit into the vehicle, and the seating arrangement gives them a clear view of the road ahead. The presence of the standard panoramic moonroof gives the interior a bright, airy ambiance. The front seats are heated, and you can opt for an advanced climate control system. There's also plenty of storage room with 75.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel comes mounted with ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link and media controls. The intuitive positioning of the controls and instrumentation makes them easy to use. There's an easily manageable infotainment system with a 12.3-inch high-definition display, a Bose audio system with 16 speakers, wireless Apple CarPlay, and USB charging ports across the three rows. The innovative Intelligent Key allows easy access to the vehicle and remembers your settings and preferences.
Performance of QX55
The INFINITI QX55 has a 2.0L VC-Turbo I-4 engine that accomplishes 28 mpg and 268 horsepower. It's an advanced internal combustion engine that offers low fuel consumption, high performance, and efficiency. With its ability to move between compression ratios, the VC-Turbo engine can adapt to the driving conditions you experience. It can transform from 8:1 if you require high performance to 14:1 when you need better efficiency. With this engine, you can accelerate well on urban roads, with the QX55 able to attain a top speed of 155 mph.
Performance of QX60
