    Just recently bought a 2023 Sensory AWD with the tow package, propilot and heads up. Bench second row. I'm 6'1 and love the head and leg room. Unlike another commenter I had no issues with leg hitting console. Took it on a long road trip and loved it. Didn't feel beat up after the drive. Might add tow package gives you a transmission cooler which is great even if you don't tow. There is a learning curve though learning all the electronic aids. Take ur time and you will learn it. I'm still learning them. Might add BMW will send you to the poor house on maintenance, part and repair cost. Not as bad as land rover but close.

    One of the biggest complaints I have as a previous owner of an X5, I find QX60 2023 to be harsher concerning the suspension. The other issue I have is that when you rest your leg against center consol after a while you will notice discomfort on your knee. Not noticeable on short drives but, after a long drive... Bad ergonomics, especially for someone of 6"2 height. Oh, another issue, even is AWD, traction distribution is biased to the front. If I knew better I would still be driving the X5.

    Just leased this today, haha. Came from the q50 hybrid - I’ve been looking for a full size SUV and Infiniti has been behind for some time on tech until now. Loved it from the first moment I saw it, and was sold when I took it out for a drive. The lane assist is phenomenal, luxury is great, plus both the comfort and polish are all outstanding.

    Why is isn’t the Infinity QX60 ever compared to the new Lexus RX350?
    Anyway, coming from a Lexus, I really like the stiffer suspension (but not too stiff) and the fact that the Infinity still offers a 6 cylinder engine as apposed to a 4 cylinder turbo. For most of us, 295 hp is plenty of power. And as a bonus, it runs perfectly on regular unleaded gasoline. I’m very happy with my Sensory version QX60.

    • @HawkeyeRides

      One big reason is the RX is not a 3 row and the L model is more for cargo. I have a few different reviews here is one of my personal Autograph:

      The lack of a 3rd row seems to be a minor reason for not making a comparison of the two mid-sized SUV’s. I myself had narrowed down my purchase to the Lexus RX350 (2023) and the Infinity QX60 (2023). The 3rd row was simply a bonus for me (not likely to be used often). The deciding factor was a 6 cylinder engine standard on the Infinity as opposed to a 4 cylinder turbo standard with the Lexus. I also like the slightly tighter suspension offered by Infinity.

    Lovely exterior exterior except for the grille. I would make the base of the grille smaller than the top. That would absolutely make it super sweet and hard to pass on.

      Updated colors on the exterior, they might tweet the headlights and front grille (normally Infiniti waits on this for 3/4 years after the refresh), added packaging and increased price. It will not have major updates, carry over engine and transmission. I bought mine a couple months ago (autograph) but if you can wait right before they come out you might get a better deal. Right now Infiniti is offering 4.49 72 months, 2k loyalty and Infiniti is giving 3 year’s maintenance included for 2023 models (on new purchases) 👍

      Because it’s so new, I can see it getting updated but this will be more of a software update. I did hear the same but normally Infiniti doesn’t do any major updates for more than 4 years. Infiniti told me that if customers want added features on the infotainment (like the 2023 Nissan Aryia has the Navigation in the driver cluster but Infiniti doesn’t have this, only a compass) they will update the system.

    I bought an X5 over a QX60 because Infiniti still doesn’t seem to care about their center screen UI design. It is mind blowing to me that they fell so far behind and when they finally upgraded they gave you something you’d expect in something like a Chevy.

So as much as I love the Aviator regardless, watching your review, makes me want to test drive the QX60 in comparison.
