The large three-row 2022 Infiniti QX60 SUV is a game changer. A new look, fresh interior, updated technology, and better seats highlight the changes to the redesigned 2022 QX60, while a new 9-speed automatic defines the major mechanical updates. Following in the footsteps of the attractive 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, the 2022 Infiniti QX60 adds more brightwork and luxurious appointments to distinguish the two. The tasteful mesh grille framed by chrome bands, faux skid plate, and tall air intakes could have come from the Lincoln or Buick playbook as easily as Nissan’s. In profile, similarities with the Pathfinder appear in the recessed rocker panels, round wheel arches clad in black, ridged hood, and available two-tone black roof options. The QX60’s greenhouse sweeps into the integrated rear roof spoiler, and it has a more cohesive design versus the Pathfinder’s heritage-influenced cues around the rear windows. For now, Infiniti applies the same 3.5-liter V-6 used in the Pathfinder and carried over from the last generation, but swaps out the CVT for a 9-speed automatic transmission. Infiniti tunes the V-6 to make 295 hp and 270 lb-ft, up from 284 hp and 259 lb-ft in the Pathfinder, and it comes standard with front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The powertrain combo helps the QX60 tow up to 6,000 pounds, which is on the higher end for the class. We’ll see if they calibrate the transmission’s higher gears to seek more passing power when called upon, instead of leaning towards efficiency. The Pathfinder with AWD gets an EPA-rated 21 mpg city, 27 highway, 23 combined. The extra equipment in the QX60 might cost it 1 mpg; we’ll know closer to the sale date. Infiniti puts on a fancier face inside than the Pathfinder, with available semi-aniline leather upholstery that extends to the dash, open-pore wood trim, and an uncluttered center stack that keeps the high-gloss black plastic to a minimum. A 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment crowns the dash, but Infiniti keeps the console dial selector so you don’t have to lean in to the screen. Pricing and trim levels will be announced closer to the fall sale date. We expect it to be about $2,000 more than the 2020 QX60 that started at about $45,000.
