Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2018 Infiniti QX60 is an elegant, and simple, solution for families looking for a luxury crossover.

Pros
Conservative, and classy exterior
Good standard equipment
Spacious second row
Rich and uncluttered interior

Cons
Frustrating optional packages
Advanced safety is an expensive proposition
Aging powertrain
Rear end could use a lift

By: 
thecarconnection.com

For 2018, the QX60 adds Rear Door Alert, a standard feature that can remind drivers of passengers, pets, or objects possibly left behind after switching off the ignition. Sensors can detect if a rear door was opened prior to driving and can issue an alert if a rear door isn't opened at the end of the drive

PROS
Quiet, comfortable cabin makes for a soothing ride
Offers easy access to third-row seats
Smooth transmission operation adds to luxurious feel
Plush ride quality makes long trips enjoyable

CONS
Third-row legroom is tight for adults
Off-road capability isn't part of its formula
Desirable features are all extra and bundled into packages
Not as sporty as some other large luxury SUVs

By:

The 2018 Infiniti QX60 ranked #17 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the Infiniti QX60 has a score of 8.0 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 43 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Spacious, comfy seating for seven
Straightforward infotainment system with lots of USB ports
Above-average fuel economy

Cons
No smartphone integration available
History of below-average reliability

By: 
usnews.com

The MU-X may look and feel a bit more basic than the Everest or Fortuner, but its tough Isuzu truck underpinnings is this SUV’s secret weapon. Isuzu also builds big commercial engines, designed to be reliable and robust, and that DNA is this engine.

Pros
Great new engine
Capable off-roader
Decent third row

Cons
Cabin is starting to age
Boot is smaller than some rivals
No advanced safety equipment

By: 
carsguide.com.au

Like the D-MAX ute on which it's based, the evolution of Isuzu UTE's MU-X seven-seat SUV has remained relatively slow, its latest update headlined by extra torque from its 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel (now 130kW and 430Nm, up from 380Nm) and a new six-speed automatic transmission (previously five).

Pros
Rugged and practical
Very comfy ride
Drop-down rear video unit

Cons
Lacking some new safety tech
Turbo lag from a standing start
Rather basic cab trim
