2017 Infiniti QX60

2017 Infiniti QX60 Overview

Is the 2017 Infiniti QX60 a Good Used SUV?

The 2017 Infiniti QX60 is a good SUV if you’re looking for a smooth cruiser with plenty of interior space for your entire family. In addition to being one of the more fuel-efficient models in the luxury midsize SUV class, it also has one of the lowest total cost of ownership ratings. However, these perks aren’t enough to overcome the QX60’s shortcomings. It has vague handling and below-average scores in safety, performance, and predicted reliability compared to rivals. The 2017 Lincoln MKT is a better choice; it has above-average predicted reliability, a higher safety score, a stronger standard V6 engine, and similar estimated ownership costs.

You won’t find a highly ranked new luxury midsize SUV that matches the 2017 QX60’s average price of $38,800. You will need to look at a luxury compact SUV like the 2018 Acura RDX ($36,000) or the 2019 Infiniti QX50 ($36,550) to stay in the same ballpark pricewise. The new models offer equal or better fuel economy, new car warranties, and better features in some instances. However, unlike the QX60, neither model has an available third row, you’ll have less cargo space, and second-row legroom suffers.
