Luxury SUVs are expected to provide a refined and comfortable cabin for both drivers and passengers. While the INFINITI QX60 and the Buick Enclave offer shared amenities like tri-zone climate control, heated front seats, and an 8-way driver’s seat, the QX60 includes more comfort-focused features as standard equipment, which require upgrading to higher Enclave trim levels.

Confidence behind the wheel starts with advanced safety technology designed to help protect everyone on board. Both SUVs include a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features. However, the INFINITI QX60 goes further with additional standard and available technologies, as well as enhanced systems like Predictive Forward Collision Warning that can monitor up to two vehicles ahead.

A luxury SUV should deliver more than upscale styling and a comfortable cabin; it should elevate every drive. Both models check the basics when it comes to craftsmanship, but the INFINITI QX60 raises the bar by offering exclusive premium features that aren’t available on the Buick Enclave.

With its streamlined silhouette, more compact exterior dimensions, and smaller overall footprint, the INFINITI QX60 may be easier to park and maneuver in tight spaces than the Buick Enclave. Its reduced size can make maneuvering through busy parking structures, tight urban spaces, and other congested areas more manageable.

First Impressions: First-Class Presence

Aesthetics matter, and with the INFINITI QX60 and the Buick Enclave, you don’t have to sacrifice luxury for practicality. Sculpted contours, purposeful proportions, and signature grilles set the stage for striking curb appeal. Still, only the QX60 greets you with a sense of occasion. As you approach, the available INFINITI Light Path projects an illuminated welcome mat onto the ground, like your personal spotlight, turning every arrival into a grand entrance.

The QX60 and the Enclave offer sleek silhouettes that conceal surprisingly spacious interiors. But only one makes navigating narrow city streets and crowded parking lots feel as effortless as a Sunday drive on open roads.

The QX60’s shorter length and tighter footprint make it more agile while commanding attention on the road.

Loading and unloading groceries, luggage, and sports equipment from the cargo hold is easier with the QX60’s available motion-activated liftgate, even when your hands are full. The Buick Enclave has a similar AutoSense Power Liftgate.

Comfort in Every Row

Your luxury crossover SUV needs to multitask as effortlessly as you do. It’s a family hauler, a mobile office, and—during those rare solo drives—a serene escape from the noise of daily life. With its clean lines, soothing textures, and thoughtfully curated materials, the INFINITI QX60 offers a boutique-luxury vibe rarely found in a 3-row SUV. The Buick Enclave keeps pace with the QX60 with many similar standard and available features, including:

• Heated front- and second-row seats
• 8-way driver’s seat with 4-way power lumbar
• Ventilated front-row seats
• Massaging front-row seats
• Second-row captain’s chairs

That said, only the QX60 comes standard with driver’s seat memory, allowing you to preset your ideal seat, mirror, and steering column positions for a personalized start every time.

Both cabins feel remarkably open, thanks to panoramic moonroofs that span the first two rows, filling the interior with natural light and a sense of calm. However, only the QX60 comes standard with this feature.

The INFINITI QX60 achieves greater fuel efficiency than the Buick Enclave, regardless of drivetrain. The QX60 with front-wheel drive earns an EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG, while the Enclave achieves 20 city/25 highway MPG. * Even with all-wheel drive, the QX60 delivers an EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG, still surpassing the Enclave.^*

Power That Adapts, Performance That Delivers

At the heart of every dependable SUV lies its engine, and the INFINITI QX60’s VC-Turbo powertrain, the result of two decades of innovation, proves it in the way that matters most: real-world performance. Both models produce over 260 horsepower and more than 280 lb-ft of torque, pairing their engines with automatic transmissions. But the QX60’s 9-speed transmission offers smoother, more seamless shifts than the Enclave’s 8-speed, delivering a more refined driving experience.

When it’s time to elevate your adventures, only one of these SUVs truly expands your possibilities. The INFINITI QX60’s 6,000-pound towing capacity surpasses the Buick Enclave’s 5,000-pound limit, making a significant difference if you plan to haul:

 
• Larger dual-axle travel trailers
• Heavier deck boats or midsize pontoons
• 2-horse trailers
• Enclosed cargo trailers loaded with furniture or heavy recreational equipment
 

That extra 1,000 pounds means more freedom to go farther, tow bigger, and embrace new journeys. With the QX60, the promise of infinite possibilities isn’t just a name; it’s the power behind your drive.

Efficiency That Moves with You

When you’re behind the wheel while navigating weekday traffic, heading out of town for a long weekend, or chasing new memories with your family, you want an SUV as resourceful with fuel as it is powerful on the road. While both SUVs deliver commendable fuel economy, the INFINITI QX60 makes the most of every mile and every drop in its tank.

Even with its available AWD system, the QX60 achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG, outpacing the Enclave across the board.^*

The INFINITI’s active grille shutter technology enhances aerodynamics by reducing drag at cruising speeds, helping the QX60 glide more efficiently. The result? Fewer fuel stops, smoother drives, and a luxury SUV that’s always ready to move forward, while others are pausing at the pump.

The INFINITI QX60 provides more comprehensive warranty coverage, including a 4-year/60,000-mile Basic Warranty, 6-year/70,000-mile Powertrain Warranty, and 7-year/unlimited-mileage Corrosion Warranty. The Buick Enclave offers shorter coverage across each category, with a 3-year/36,000-mile Basic Warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Warranty, and 6-year/ 100,000-mile Corrosion Warranty.

Intuitive Integration

The INFINITI QX60 and the Buick Enclave include similar standard infotainment features that keep everyone engaged. Instead of a chorus of "Are we there yet?" your passengers may just ask you to take the long way home. The QX60 and the Enclave offer:

• Wi-Fi® hotspot
• Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™
• Wireless phone charging
• Multiple USB ports across all three rows
• Google compatibility
• Brand-specific mobile apps

Where they differ is in presentation. The Buick Enclave uses a single, sweeping 30-inch display, while the INFINITI QX60 separates functions with dual 12.3-inch screens: one for essential driving data and one for comfort, connectivity, and navigation. This way, you can focus on what matters most behind the wheel, without toggling between unrelated controls or losing sight of the road.

Both models offer premium sound systems, but the QX60 pushes the envelope with a 20-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere system, four more than the Enclave’s Bose® performance audio system. For a truly immersive listening experience, the INFINITI stands out as the audiophile’s SUV.

Proactive by Design

One thing you can never have too much of is peace of mind. With a full suite of standard and available driver-assistance technologies powered by sensors, cameras, and on-board intelligence, the INFINITI QX60 and the Buick Enclave provide confidence behind the wheel and calm throughout the cabin.

They offer brand-specific versions of key safety features, including:

• Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Warning
• Blind Spot Warning
• Steering Assist
• Intelligent Cruise Control
• Head-Up Display

But only the INFINITI QX60 anticipates what’s beyond the immediate. Its standard Predictive Forward Collision Warning not only monitors the vehicle ahead of you, but also the one ahead of that. Combined with Forward Emergency Braking, it helps you respond sooner and plan smarter, because foresight is the ultimate form of protection.
