Price & Value

Every Trim, One Scale.

Line up both lineups by starting MSRP and the gap is easy to see. Three QX60 configurations start below the XC90’s entry price, and the range-topping QX60 AUTOGRAPH, with semi-aniline leather, massaging front seats, and a 20-speaker Klipsch system, starts $2,760 below an XC90 Ultra.1

All-wheel drive to all-wheel drive, the QX60 LUXE AWD starts $1,660 below an XC90 B5 Core.

And it brings features the XC90 Core doesn’t match. For example, Volvo’s 360° camera arrives with the XC90 Plus, which starts at $65,050.1

Space & Comfort

First-Class Room in the Rows You Use Most.

The QX60’s front row is designed to feel like first class, with more legroom and more shoulder room than the XC90. Second-row passengers get more legroom, too, and SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims come standard with second-row captain’s chairs for easy pass-through access to the third row.

Every row is surrounded by thoughtful comforts, from climate-controlled front seats and heated second-row seats on the LUXE trim to quilted semi-aniline leather and massaging front seats on AUTOGRAPH.

Performance & Capability

More Strength, Right From the Start.

Every QX60 is powered by INFINITI’s 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, which can vary its compression ratio and is tuned for plentiful low- and mid-range torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Compared with the XC90’s base B5 powertrain, the QX60 makes more horsepower and more torque.

When the weekend calls for a boat or camper, the QX60 is rated to tow up to 6,000 lbs when properly equipped, 1,000 lbs more than the XC90.2
