5 Ways the 2024 INFINITI QX60 Stands Out from the 2024 Acura MDX

When considering a luxury midsize SUV, the 2024 INFINITI QX60 and the 2024 Acura MDX are strong contenders. Each vehicle offers a blend of performance, features, and comfort. This article aims to shed light on how the 2024 QX60 distinguishes itself from the MDX in key areas.



  • More Horsepower and Towing Capacity


Both SUVs come standard with a V6 engine, but the QX60 has a slight edge in power. Its 3.5-litre V6 engine produces 295 horsepower, 5 hp more than the MDX. Though this may not seem significant on paper, the extra horsepower results in slightly quicker acceleration and more confident passing maneuvers. Furthermore, the QX60 has a higher towing capacity of 6,000 pounds, compared to the MDX's 5,000 pounds.



  • Larger Fuel Tank for Longer Range
