The best-selling Infiniti QX60 has been completely redesigned for 2022. It’s wider, longer, and loaded with significantly more technology than the previous model. Infiniti hopes these updates will help its flagship SUV stand out in a crowded luxury family segment.
Redesigning a company’s top-selling vehicle is a major undertaking, and Infiniti spent five years developing the 2022 QX60. Based on what I’ve seen, they addressed styling, comfort, and technology in ways that should appeal to families and luxury buyers alike.
I’ve had positive experiences with Infiniti over the years—simple memories like riding in a friend’s G20 in college helped form my lasting impression of the brand. That familiarity makes it clear how important it is for a marque to get its flagship right, and the new QX60 appears to do just that.
Having spent time around comparable models such as the Lincoln Navigator, Buick Enclave, and BMW X5, I can say the new QX60 strikes a strong balance between elegant styling, passenger comfort, and the practical utility expected from a six-passenger family SUV.
Below are five reasons a family of four should consider the 2022 Infiniti QX60 as their next vehicle.
Updated Technology
Infiniti equipped the QX60 with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a cleaner, less cluttered cabin experience. The updated adaptive cruise control system, called ProPilot, adds stop-and-go functionality to make highway driving and heavy traffic less stressful and safer overall.
A rear camera view integrated into the rearview mirror can take some adjustment, but it delivers a broad, unobstructed field of view without nighttime glare—useful when the cabin is full or cargo blocks a traditional mirror sightline.
The QX60 now includes a 10.8-inch head-up display (HUD) that remains readable from multiple seating positions. The climate controls use a tactile haptic touchscreen that’s intuitive and pleasant to operate, enhancing the premium feel of the interior.
Towing Capacity
Though the QX60 is positioned as a luxury SUV, it keeps practical towing capability in view. The hitch receiver is neatly integrated into the rear bumper, preserving the vehicle’s refined appearance while remaining functional for family tasks like attaching a bike rack or cargo carrier. The maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds makes it suitable for trailers, boats, or recreational UTVs.
Gorgeous Interior
Interior materials are upscale, with real wood trim and quilted leather seating finished in a warm saddle color that stood out on the model I saw. Second-row captain’s chairs improve comfort and make access to the third row easier—especially when the center console is removed. A panoramic sunroof adds light and openness to the cabin.
9-Speed Transmission
The 295-horsepower naturally aspirated V6 returns for 2022, but Infiniti replaces the previous CVT with a 9-speed automatic transmission. That change should deliver stronger acceleration feel, improved torque management, and a more engaging driving experience overall.
Driving Impressions
I have not yet had the opportunity to drive the new QX60, but based on the design refinements, upgraded drivetrain, and enhanced technology, I expect the on-road experience to be refined and comfortable. I plan to update this review after a test drive to share first-hand impressions of handling, ride quality, and overall performance.
Overall, the 2022 Infiniti QX60 blends luxury materials, updated tech, and practical utility into a modern family SUV package. It presents a compelling option for buyers seeking a refined, comfortable three-row vehicle with usable towing capability and thoughtful interior details. I will provide driving impressions after a hands-on test drive to confirm how the updates translate to real-world performance and comfort.
