It's often said that there's no shortage of choice in one category or another throughout the automotive industry. In this case, there's no shortage of quality choices. In fact, the seven-seat mid-size luxury SUV category is full of interesting products.
The new 2022 Infiniti QX60 is one of them, as well as a brave warrior, the Audi Q7.
Which one is the most interesting? Let's see why it's the Infiniti QX60 by taking a closer look at the forces at work.
The price
Let's start with something that's always important: the price. With the Q7, we get a full range, sure, but also prices that go in all directions. However, even if you compare similarly equipped models with the QX60, the German representative is not in the running. And not by a long shot. Do the exercise and you'll realize that you'll be putting between $10,000 and $20,000 in your pocket by opting for a 2022 QX60.
And all for a model that offers you the same kind of experience. It's a smart move.
Interior space
With a mid-size SUV, especially one that seats seven, it's important to have decent clearance. While that's respectable in the Q7, whether it's rear passenger space or cargo space, it's more breathable in the QX60.
And the total cargo volume behind the first row makes us see the difference; 1990 liters for the Q7, 2135 liters for the QX60.
Reliability
Audi has made progress in terms of reliability, but it's far from perfect, that's well known. Another well-known fact is the exorbitant maintenance costs; Audi is pushing the pencil hard.
With a QX60, your peace of mind is twofold. First, you get a model with excellent reliability (the 3.5-litre V6 engine is a benchmark), but also a customer experience that's not about making you as much money as possible, but about giving you maximum satisfaction.
Compare the experiences with these two models, both in the dealership and behind the wheel, and you'll discover a very attractive difference.
