Smooth Transmission & Handling

Driving enthusiasts will appreciate the refined shifting in both SUVs. The INFINITI QX60 comes equipped with a responsive 9.0-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Drive Mode Selector, giving you precise control. On the other side, the Acura MDX ups the ante slightly with a 10-speed automatic transmission, also featuring paddle shifters and an Integrated Dynamics System offering multiple driving modes including snow, comfort, sport, and more.

Efficiency Matters: Fuel Economy Comparison

When cruising around Canadian roads, fuel efficiency counts. The INFINITI QX60 earns a commendable rating of 10.9 L/100 km city and 8.8 L/100 km highway. The Acura MDX shows slightly higher fuel consumption, ranging from 12.6 to 13.8 L/100 km city and 9.4 to 11.2 L/100 km highway depending on engine choice. Both vehicles offer a generous 70-litre fuel tank, ideal for long weekend escapes.

Safety Features: Drive With Confidence

Safety isn't an afterthought in either SUV. Both the QX60 and MDX are loaded with advanced features like standard Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Cross-Traffic Alert. A standout is the QX60’s inclusion of a rear side airbag, a feature missing from the MDX, offering extra peace of mind for your family adventures.

Stay Connected: Tech & Infotainment

Tech-savvy drivers will enjoy seamless connectivity in both SUVs. The INFINITI QX60 offers a well-rounded infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Wireless Charging, and Satellite Radio. The Acura MDX similarly keeps pace with most of these features but notably lacks standard satellite radio access, giving the QX60 an edge for music lovers on the go.

Comfort & Luxury

Luxury comes standard, but each SUV offers a unique spin. The QX60 brings upscale comfort with heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and a convenient hands-free power liftgate. Acura's MDX matches many comfort features, adding standard seat massage functionality for ultimate relaxation—an appealing choice for frequent long-distance drivers.

Interior Dimensions & Cargo

Both SUVs offer ample room, but the INFINITI QX60 provides generous passenger space. Meanwhile, Acura MDX offers slightly less headroom but comparable legroom. For cargo, QX60 offers a spacious 2135 litres behind the first row, whereas MDX stretches further with up to 2690 litres, making it great for families needing extra cargo capacity.
