2022 Infiniti QX60 Autograph AWD

Infiniti’s midsize, 3-row SUV took a year off in 2021 and has returned, completely redesigned, for 2022. It’s far more stylish, both inside and out, than the previous generation. All QX60s come with a 3.5-liter V6 (295 hp) carried over from 2020; this year, it’s mated to a new 9-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previous CVT. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is optional. On the road, we experienced hesitation and surging from the throttle, and some may find the QX60’s ride too firm for a luxury SUV. Rear visibility is also poor. The QX60’s cabin is nicely appointed; we especially appreciated the top-level Autograph model’s wood-trim dash and comfortable, quilted leather seats. The cabin’s first 2 rows have good headroom and legroom, though getting into the third-row seating is difficult. Cargo space is quite good - 75 cubic feet with the second-row seat backs folded down. The QX60 also has a strong complement of advanced safety features. A notable downside, however, is that the infotainment system is unintuitive and the instrument cluster feels outdated.
