2022 QX60 vs 2022 MDX: Performance & Capability
Elegance and power combine in these luxury SUVs, giving you a driving experience like no other. Progressive equipment under each of their hoods is engineered to impress.
The INFINITI QX60 is powered by the robust 3.5L V6 engine that generates 295 horsepower. This powertrain is paired with an automatic transmission that provides a smooth ride. Additionally, AWD is available for this model for extra traction.
On the other hand, the Acura MDX sports a 3.5L V6 engine that produces slightly less oomph with 290 horsepower. AWD is also available for this model, as well as Acura’s own automatic transmission.
How do their performance designs impact your capability as a driver?
Because of the extra strength found in the INFINITI model, it can tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. The Acura maxes out at 5,000 pounds standardly. This means you can haul a camper or boat with more confidence when you drive an INFINITI QX60 than the 2022 Acura MDX.
INIFINITI QX60 vs MDX: Technology
Such impressive performances should be paired with high-end technologies, giving you the ultimate commute every time you’re behind the wheel. The 2022 INFINITI QX60 achieves this through:
- Full color HD screens
- Available Bose® Performance Series sound system
- Available 10.8-inch Head-Up Display

The available 10.8-inch Head-Up Display projects trip information onto your windshield so that you can keep your eyes on the road.

The Acura MDX also comes standard with HD displays. Its infotainment, however, comes up a little bit short. Its available ELS 3D Premium Audio System only checks in at 16 speakers.
