Engine and technical details
The 2023 Infiniti QX55 is a spirited utility coupe propelled by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that generates 268 horsepower. Meanwhile, the QX60 is a lavish mid-sized SUV equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 295 horsepower. Both models feature all-wheel drive as a standard and provide refined handling and impressive performance.
Interior comfort and connectivity
While the QX55 delivers a more exhilarating driving experience, the 2023 Infiniti QX60 Ottawa prioritizes luxury and comfort. The QX60 showcases a sophisticated and capacious interior, featuring premium materials and an array of advanced technology and connectivity features.
In contrast, the 2023 Infiniti QX55 Ottawa highlights a more understated interior design with a concentration on performance and driver-centric features.
Exterior design
The QX55 exhibits a sleek and modern exterior design, characterized by a sloping roofline and a coupe-like silhouette. In contrast, the QX60 presents a more conventional SUV shape with a larger overall size and a classic two-box SUV design.
However, while the QX55 remains true to the current design identity of the company’s other vehicles, the QX60 showcases a more futuristic approach to automotive elegance, employing the Japanese principle of Ma to use the empty spaces between features as an important design feature itself. In that sense, the QX60 is more minimalist and reserved.
That said, both models offer distinctive styling and remarkable visual appeal, catering to a range of different tastes and preferences.
