Your review of both cars is spot on. We went to the dealership with the intention of buying the Pathfinder, but ended up getting the QX60. We test drove the Pathfinder first and did not like the handling that much. But then the sales guy said that we should give the QX60 a try since they just had one delivered (only one on the lot), and our decision was made after that. The Pathfinder felt very much like a big SUV with so-so handling, whereas the QX60 felt like we were driving a much smaller, nimbler and more comfortable car, even though they are the same size. To us, the driving experience and quality of the QX60 was worth the difference in price.

I decided to get the Pathfinder Platinum after doing a test drive. It was bit wallowy (has some noticeable body role) however it stayed planted on corners and sharp turns. I thought it will lean further on turns but surprisingly it remained planted. It has a 20-30% truckish feel, I know it's not a body on frame but still has truck DNA. Anyways, I could not get a good lease deal in my area and most dealers already sold the Platinum and had good deals for SL trim only. With that said, it was easier for me to get a deal on the Infintit Qx60 Luxe with vision package (same options/features as Pathfinder Platinum). I ended leasing the QX60 for almost the same price as the Pathfinder platinum which was in high demand while the QX 60 was available everywhere. QX60 ride is definitely better and more luxurious and controlled with less body role. When you go to Infiniti dealership you are treated differently, its a luxury brand, dealerships are similar to Lexus and it has 3 years maintenance & service included from Infinity.

I drove both the pathfinder platinum and the qx60 luxury, for me the pathfinder is the clear choice as I can not justify spending 15k extra for the infiniti badge. The pathfinder handles and drives just as good as the infiniti in my opinion. The infiniti is smoother and looks a little more luxurious. I prefer the rugged look of the pathfinder and it looks to be more capable in harsh conditions. The pathfinder is the best car for the money on the road right now and the platinum is literally the perfect car for anyone in the market for a midsized 3 row suv.

thanks so much for watching.... great in put from someone who has driven both vehicles!

If you put premium fuel in the Pathfinder the HP of the engine goes up to match the Infinity. The reason is the engine's management system allows for more advanced timing advance for the engine ignition operation, and thus the greater power output. Put premium in the Pathfinder and you will see the difference when accelerating. I had a 2016 Murano with the 3.5 and CVT. I was running it on premium fuel from the time I bought it. The difference in performance showed right away. I kept it till Sept 2021 when I bought the Pathfinder Platinum. I prefer how the Pathfinder drives with its 9 speed transmission. The Murano was more of a sporty handling. I am not an aggressive driver. The Pathfinder worked out more perfect for my way of driving and lifestyle. The base platform of both types of vehicles are very much the same. The Pathfinder suspension is beefed up a bit more, and raised a bit more for off road driving. My impression with the Infinity is you are paying a bit more for the more elaborate trims and a few extra features such as seat message and a slightly larger main screen. I have not compared the sound systems myself, but I know they are both Bose systems, and use the same type of amplifier and speaker technology. I am wondering if the Infinity sound system seems to sound better because of the interior design differences changing the acoustics of the vehicle.

@brussell328

Жыл бұрын

This makes no sense, as the 3.5 in the Murano is not tuned for, nor will benefit from, midgrade or premium fuel. There are absolutely no benefits to running premium in that car whatsoever. No added HP, no knock reduction (it doesn't knock on 87 at all), nothing. I've owned a 2015 Murano for 8 years now.

I totally disagree, they screen is much bigger in the Infiniti and very high resolution. The pathfinder screen is very small and low res. 360 Cameras and other images are pixilated. Also it feels like a truck, the QX60 has a totally different suspension. When you go to dealership, its totally different experience than Nissan.

As far as looks, I like the Infinity is better. But is it worth the increase cost? I haven't driven either, but would assume that the Infinity has a more polished ride. Something I would like to know is what is the resale value after 5 or 10 years? What are dealerships selling both models for? Are the selling for MSRP or more than MSRP? Right now. I am just trying to get as much infrormation on models the I am interested in. And waiting for the market and supply of vehicles to get better.

The drive with the extra power and the suspension is much better, the handling is so much better. For me it drives like a big sports car. Someone said the same thing before I got the QX60.

Your right but thats only if you remove the center console

My opinions are probably uncommon, but I’ll say a few things. First, I liked sun/moonroofs when they were only above the front seats. Now most of them are “panoramic.” I’d rather not have more than half of my roof made of glass. Interesting that every QX60 trim has a panoramic roof. Second, speedometers should always be centered with the steering wheel. That way I can check my speed with a split second glance straight down, without having to look slightly left or right. I wish the digital speedometer in all of these vehicles could be centered. It is in the Pathfinder sub-Platinum trims. The premium fuel requirement of the QX60 is a non-starter for me. I won’t buy a vehicle with that requirement. Pathfinder is still on my list though.

I got infinity QX60 Luxe with Vision Package, it have every single option as the top trim for $62K

In rough math (I stink at math) that turns out to be about $10 a day on a 72 month term. The upgrade from the Pathfinder to the QX60 is definitely worth $10 a day when we have to spend so much time in our vehicles nowadays. I deliver (not a sales person) new Infiniti’s to customers and on a long delivery that can be sometimes 700 miles I would 100% rather be in a QX60. I would choose the QX60 over the Acura and the Lexus too. The interior on the Autograph trim is a super plush place to spend time.

@@carsunlocked Great points, issues I have myself. In order counteract the premium fuel issue I put it in eco and kind of sort of but not really granny it and I can return around 35mpg on the interstate. If you truly granny it you can get way better. For servicing the vehicle just take it to Nissan, the hourly is cheaper and it’s the same parts, mostly. There is a Nissan dealership next to my Infiniti store and the Nissan store will walk next door to Infiniti and get the part and put it on cheaper. The resell value of the QX60 will be much better over the Pathfinder, while it costs a lot to play at first the overall at the end of ownership won’t be that bad considering how much better the QX60 is in day to day use. I find the QX60 a very tranquil place to be especially the Autograph trim. The Pathfinder is just another vehicle. I will concede that $10 a day is a lot of money over 72 month term but if I had the option to instantly upgrade my Pathfinder to a QX60 when I leave the house in the morning I’m paying $10 a day. Hell just quit smoking or going to Starbucks and it’s covered.

I drove them both back to back, and the Infiniti was a significant difference in ride and quality. I picked up the Sensory model, one step down from the Autograph and got it for $4k under MSRP . So, at $59k (with the $4k off), it was not much different from the $55k Pathfinder. For a difference of $4k between the 2, no contest win, and our QX60 is happily parked in our garage.

The QX would've been the nicer pick for the price if it offered more than just one engine to further separate it from the Pathfinder. And I'm pretty sure the Pathfinder outperforms the QX even with the shared engine and transmission. But for goodness sake Nissan, please use LEDs for your interior dome lights especially for Infiniti! The Palisade makes a stronger luxury proposition than the QX even as it competes with the Pathfinder. And for 2023 offers heated 3rd row seats! The QX disappointingly doesn't even have ventilated 2nd row seats. Doing just enough is no longer good enough if Infiniti wants to continue their turnaround.
