2027 Infiniti QX60 Expert Review
Reviewed by Bob Hernandez
The 2027 Infiniti QX60 is the brand’s value-minded answer to the luxury three-row SUV, aimed at families who want comfort, tech, and polish without paying top-tier German prices.
Fresh off a major 2026 update, the QX60 carries over with a calmer, more practical personality than many rivals. It isn’t the segment’s flashiest or roomiest choice, but it remains one of its more sensible luxury alternatives.
Competitors include the Lexus TX, Lincoln Aviator, and Volvo XC90.
The 2027 QX60 carries over from the previous model year. For 2026, Infiniti gave the smaller of its three-row SUVs a full update, including refreshed styling, new technology such as ProPilot Assist 2.1 hands-free driving assist, a Google-based infotainment system, headrest-mounted speakers, and even an enhanced engine note.
The 2027 QX60 is still a value-minded luxury three-row SUV that keeps inching closer to the segment’s strongest players. Its upscale cabin, approachable pricing, useful tech, and family-friendly layout give it real appeal, but the QX60 still feels more like a smart alternative than a standout.
Infiniti’s recent updates helped. The added tech, available ProPilot Assist 2.1, Google-based infotainment, headrest-mounted speakers, and revised styling make the QX60 feel fresher than before. It also continues to offer the kind of comfort-focused personality that should resonate with buyers who want refinement without chasing the sportiest badge.
Still, the QX60 has familiar weak spots. Its turbo-four provides adequate power for daily driving, but it doesn’t feel especially eager or refined when pushed. Some shoppers may also notice how much this SUV shares with the Nissan Pathfinder, especially when comparing it against more premium-feeling rivals.
As a whole, the 2027 QX60 is easy to understand: comfortable, well-equipped, and relatively sensible but not quite a class leader. For families who prioritize value, efficiency, and a pleasant cabin over maximum performance or third-row indulgence, Infiniti’s midsize three-row is worth a look.
Top-Ranked Competitors:
Every 2027 QX60 trim uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces up to 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque. In our testing, the Infiniti SUV reached 60 mph in 7.5 seconds—not especially exciting but adequate for the segment.
By comparison, the Lexus TX350 uses a slightly larger 2.4-liter turbo-four rated at 275 hp and 317 lb-ft. Despite that output advantage, the TX350 was slightly slower in our testing, needing 7.7 seconds to reach 60 mph.
MPGs and Range
Fuel economy is similar across QX60 drivetrain configurations, and total driving range is identical. Front-wheel-drive models return 22/28 mpg city/highway, while all-wheel-drive versions are rated at 22/ 27 mpg . Both offer an estimated 444 miles of range.
The TX350 trails slightly, partly because of its larger engine. FWD models are rated at up to 21/27 mpg, while AWD versions return 20/ 26 mpg . As with the QX60, range is the same for both drivetrains at 409 miles.
Safety Ratings and Features
The QX60 earned a 2026 Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS, the organization’s highest designation, as well as a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA. We expect the 2027 model to perform similarly. Every QX60 also comes standard with driver assist safety features, including:
Automatic emergency front and rear braking
Blind-spot monitoring with an intervention feature
Rear cross-traffic alert
Lane departure warning
Cargo Space and Interior Room
Compared with the Lexus TX and Lincoln Aviator, the QX60 is not as spacious. Still, the Infiniti’s cabin has a practical advantage: The third row is relatively easy to access, and the second row can fold forward even with a child seat installed.

For us, the decision on QX60 trim comes down to whether you want a second-row bench seat or captain’s chairs. We’d skip the base Pure trim because it lacks desirable features such as ventilated front seats, adaptive cruise control, and a premium sound system.
Our choice would be the QX60 Sport, the third trim out of four. It adds a distinctive dark blue/black interior, a 16-speaker Klipsch audio system, and black open-pore ash wood trim.
