Mid-size SUVs are the talk of the day. They are particularly loved for their near-perfect sizes, attractive looks, and mid-range pricing. When these mid-sizes are coming from Japanese manufacturers, we know they are well-engineered, reliable, and fuel-efficient. So, which is better, the QX60 or the MDX?

In line with other Infiniti lease deals, the QX60 sports a sleek, attractive exterior design, while the MDX sticks to the stylish, rugged front-end design common among Acura lease deals.

Let’s see how both SUVs stack up against each other.

Interior

The QX60 has an elegant cabin brimming with posh materials and first-grade convenience features. Infiniti has added a range of standard and optional equipment like a head-up display, ambient lighting, front massaging seats, a 17-speaker Bose audio system, etc. The QX60’s third row is slightly more spacious than the MDX’s.

Inside, the MDX has a more complicated design but still looks attractive. High-quality materials are used throughout, and there’s a slew of high-tech comfort, convenience, and luxury features. Acura offers a 25-speaker audio system, heated & ventilated seats, front massage seats, etc. The MDX offers slightly more cargo space behind the third row than the QX60.

Engine & Transmission

The new QX60 is powered by a 3.5Liter V6 which makes 295-hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission.

Under the hood of the 2022 MDX is a similar 3.5Liter V6 that combines with a ten-speed automatic transmission. It generates 290-hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. However, the MDX has an enhanced Type S model motivated by a turbocharged 3.0Liter V6. The Type S boasts 355-hp and 345 lb-ft of torque, and this is perhaps, the most significant difference between the two Japanese Luxury rides.

Fuel Economy

Despite having more power than the regular MDX, the QX60 still gets a slightly higher fuel rating. With Front-wheel drive, the 2022 Infiniti QX60 is rated 21-mpg / 26-mpg in the city and highway, respectively. Opting for All-wheel drive reduces both ratings by 1-mpg.

MDX models with Front-wheel drive and the standard V6 get an EPA rating of 19-mpg / 26-mpg in the city and highway, respectively. Adding All-wheel drive reduces the highway rating to 25-mpg. The MDX Type S has the lowest EPA rating at 17/21-mpg.

Final Thoughts

Both SUVs are similar in many ways; however, the availability of a higher-performance model for the Acura MDX gives it an edge. Also, the QX60 is composed on the road and delivers a smooth ride, but the MDX is a bit more entertaining to drive. To lease any brand-new luxury or entry-luxury vehicle.
