Where Elegance and Versatility Collide
Does the INFINITI QX60 or the Acura MDX offer more exterior color choices?
Both SUVs include a color palette of eight shades, including sophisticated neutrals and bold finishes, but the QX60 stands out with more vibrant hues and available two-tone paint options. For greater personalization, the INFINITI QX60 gives drivers more ways to make a lasting impression.
Elegance in Every Curve
Are you looking to make a bold first impression? Then, the INFINITI QX60 and the Acura MDX have what it takes. The MDX flexes its power with sharp lines and angular contours, evoking a sense of sporty aggression. In contrast, the QX60 glides into view with soft curves and graceful proportions, embodying effortless elegance.
The QX60 takes artistry to another level with eight dazzling options, each available in a two-tone palette. Imagine gazing at Deep Bordeaux—a hypnotic swirl of ruby and rouge—or Moonbow Blue, reminiscent of moonlight piercing through clouds. INFINITI also offers distinctive Deep Emerald, giving drivers yet another sophisticated way to express their personal style. Meanwhile, the MDX misses the chance to add that extra layer of personality.
This level of craftsmanship makes the QX60 a masterpiece. Its refined design details and carefully curated pigments ensure it’s seen and admired. While the MDX impresses with its boldness, the QX60 tells a story of timeless sophistication, proving that true beauty lies in the finer details.
Craftsmanship vs. Boldness
Step inside the INFINITI QX60 and the Acura MDX, and you'll immediately sense their contrasting approaches to design. The MDX's bold color palettes, such as striking red and black with aluminum accents, exude athleticism. The QX60, by contrast, embodies minimalist beauty with its soft hues and premium materials—such as available quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery and optional Black Open Pore Ash wood trim—that exude sophistication. It's a tale of two aesthetics: one commands attention, and the other earns admiration.
The QX60’s interior offers four carefully curated shades, each evoking a distinct mood:
- Stone Gray: Elegant and modern, with a cool, silvery undertone.
- Graphite: A timeless, modern neutral that radiates understated elegance.
- Saddle Brown: Warm and inviting, like the glow of an autumn sunset.
- Dusk Blue (exclusive to the SPORT trim): Sophisticated blue, evoking twilight.
INFINITI’s commitment to quality doesn’t stop at color. Designers spent over two years perfecting materials as pleasing to the touch as they are to behold. Every element of the QX60’s interior was designed with human connection in mind—a level of care unmatched by Acura.
Does the INFINITI QX60 or the Acura MDX offer hands-free driving?
The INFINITI QX60 includes ProPILOT Assist with Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist for hands-on lane-centering support. It also offers available hands-free driving on compatible highways under certain conditions. The Acura MDX does not offer a compatible hands-free highway driving system.
Streamlined and Smart Technology
The INFINITI QX60 and the Acura MDX prioritize advanced technology to make your daily drives more intuitive. Each comes standard with a stunning 12.3-inch touchscreen display, delivering crisp visuals and easy-to-navigate menus. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration are also standard, ensuring seamless smartphone connectivity.
While both vehicles include remote access systems—INFINITI InTouch® Services and AcuraLink® Connected Services—the QX60 takes convenience to the next level with a broader suite of features, including:
- Door-to-Door Navigation for seamless transitions between devices and destinations.
- Vehicle Health Report to keep you informed of your car’s condition.
- Maintenance Alerts that ensure you stay on top of service needs.
With INFINITI InTouch® Services, the QX60 transforms everyday errands into effortless experiences. Whether you’re unlocking your doors remotely or starting the engine with climate control pre-set, this tech suite helps streamline your day. Combined with entertainment features, the QX60 ensures you’re always one step ahead.
Safe Travels Made Smarter
There's nothing quite like the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family is protected. The INFINITI QX60 and the Acura MDX offer advanced safety features designed to help keep you protected, including forward collision warning, emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring. These systems boost your confidence, especially when your kids are buckled in. However, the QX60’s system is predictive rather than reactive, like the one found in the MDX.
Available ProPILOT Assist, a feature exclusive to the INFINITI QX60 provides hands-on, mild-autonomous driving that uses Steering Assist to help you stay centered in your lane, even on winding roads. Meanwhile, available Intelligent Cruise Control adjusts your speed to maintain a safe following distance. With the available Technology Package, this assistance expands to hands-off driving capabilities on compatible highways under certain conditions.
Imagine a long drive where your QX60 quietly handles the stop-and-go of traffic, keeping you steady and secure. With ProPILOT Assist, every drive feels smoother, every mile safer, and every family trip more enjoyable—because safety isn’t just about protection; it’s about confidence in every moment.
Does the INFINITI QX60 or the Acura MDX get better gas mileage?
The INFINITI QX60 earns an EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG, while the Acura MDX achieves an EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway MPG.* With the same 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the QX60 can go farther between fill-ups than the MDX.
Comfort in Every Row
Life rarely slows down, and neither do you. The INFINITI QX60 and the Acura MDX are designed to make every journey smoother, offering thoughtful touches like heated front seats and an available Motion Activated Liftgate that streamlines your daily routine. But when every seat is filled, it’s the details that define true refinement.
That's where the QX60 sets itself apart. With a dedicated rear climate control panel for both the second and third rows, every passenger enjoys an atmosphere of personal comfort and calm, more like a first-class lounge than a carpool lane. The MDX remains capable, but it can’t quite match the QX60’s effortless sense of hospitality.
Room to Roam
Whether it's a family road trip, a solo escape, or a night out with friends, the INFINITI QX60 and the Acura MDX offer flexible cabins designed to adapt to your plans. With spacious interiors and clever configurations, both SUVs accommodate your lifestyle. However, thanks to the QX60's slightly larger passenger volume, those on board may enjoy more wiggle room, making every journey more comfortable.
| INFINITI QX60 | Acura MDX | |
|---|---|---|
| First-Row Headroom | 41 in. | 38.5 in. |
| First-Row Legroom | 42.1 in. | 41.6 in. |
| Max Cargo Capacity | 75.4 cu. ft. | 71.4 cu. ft. |
| Max Towing Capacity | 6,000 lbs. | 5,000 lbs. |
While both vehicles boast an 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the QX60's standard EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG rating lets you travel farther between stops.* The MDX falls short in comparison with its standard EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway MPG rating. Combined with its generous cargo area and higher towing capacity, the QX60 is well prepared for road trips, weekend adventures, and everyday errands alike.
