You want to get the most bang for your buck when shopping for a luxury SUV. And while both the 2023 Infiniti QX60 and Mercedes-Benz GLE are great vehicles, we think the QX60 gives you more for your money. Furthermore, the QX60 offers a range of features and performance capabilities that you won’t find in the GLE. Keep reading to learn more about why we think the Infiniti QX60 is an overall better value for your money than the Mercedes-Benz GLE.
Standard Powertrains
When it comes to getting more for your money, the Infiniti QX60 is a clear winner. It has improved performance over the GLE, thanks to its 3.5L V6 engine that produces 295 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the standard 2.0-litre turbocharged engine in the GLE produces only 255 horsepower. This improved powertrain in the QX60 provides a much more balanced performance and greater efficiency.
Interior Space and Comfort
The base variant of the Infiniti QX60 also offers more interior space than the Mercedes-Benz GLE. It has 3 rows and can accommodate up to 7 passengers, while the base GLE offers only 5 passenger seating. Additionally, the QX60 provides more cargo space with 1,178 litres of storage behind the second row and 2,135 litres with all seats folded down. The GLE lags behind in both categories, offering only 630 litres with the second row up and 2,055 litres with all seats folded down.
Pricing
The Infiniti QX60 also offers a much better price than the Mercedes-Benz GLE. The base model starts at $56,895 compared to the GLE's starting price of $75,800, so you're getting more for your money with the QX60. The top-of-the-line QX60 AUTOGRAPH that's fitted with everything you need is also priced lower than the base GLE 350, coming in at $69,995.
Overall, it’s clear that you get much more for your money with the Infiniti QX60 than you do with the Mercedes-Benz GLE. Not only is it more powerful and more spacious, but it’s also much less expensive. If you’re in the market for a luxury SUV, the Infiniti QX60 is certainly worth considering.
