Comparing the 2023 INFINITI QX60 and the Audi Q7

When choosing a luxury SUV, discerning buyers often look at specifications, features, and the overall driving experience. Here, we're comparing two popular models in the luxury SUV segment: the 2023 INFINITI QX60 and the Audi Q7. The first difference we notice about the QX60 and the Q7 is pricing. The INFINITI QX60 is significantly more affordable than the Q7 and you get quite a bit more features in the INFINITI. 

Engine & Performance

The INFINITI QX60 boasts a higher horsepower than the Audi Q7, promising a potentially more responsive and spirited drive. The standard engine in the 2023 QX60 is a proven 3.5-litre V6 that offers proven performance and reliability while also allowing for 6,000 pounds of towing capacity. With 295 horsepower, the QX60 gives you better performance than the base engine in the 2023 Audi Q7. The Audi three-row SUV features a standard 2.0-litre turbo with 261 horsepower and just 273 pound-feet of torque. This engine may offer good performance, but it can’t match the base engine in the QX60 for horsepower, torque or overall towing capacity.

Safety & Driver Assistance Technologies

We mentioned earlier that the 2023 INFINITI QX60 was more affordable than the Q7. That’s certainly one element to consider, but the other is just how impressive these two models are when it comes to standard features in terms of safety, specifically. Here we see that the QX60 gives you quite a bit more standard driver assistance features.

Comfort & Convenience

The same can be said for the available comfort features in the 2023 Infiniti QX60. Here we compare the features you get in the QX60 for less than the Q7.

The QX60 boasts a richer set of standard convenience and comfort features. While both vehicles offer a luxurious experience, the INFINITI QX60 seems to offer more standard features that enhance the overall ride and experience for the driver and passengers. This is true as well when it comes to available audio options as we can see below.

For audiophiles, the INFINITI QX60 comes with a standard 17-speaker Bose system, potentially delivering a richer audio experience compared to the base Audi Q7.

Dimensions

Last but certainly not least, the 2023 QX60 gives you more space in key areas than the 2023 Audi Q7. This is especially true when we look at overall cargo capacity.

The INFINITI QX60 offers more cargo space both in terms of capacity and dimensions, providing added utility for those requiring more storage or transport space.

While both the INFINITI QX60 and Audi Q7 are formidable contenders in the luxury SUV segment, the QX60 seems to offer a more comprehensive package of standard features, especially in the realms of safety, comfort, and convenience. However, individual preferences, brand loyalties, and specific needs play a significant role in the final decision-making process. It's always advisable for prospective buyers to take a test drive and delve deeper into each model's offerings before making a choice.
