I drove the Volvo XC90 and Infiniti QX60 for a week — here's the mid-size luxury SUV I recommend
After spending a week each testing out the Volvo XC90 and Infiniti QX60, there's a lot that these mid-size, 3-row luxury SUVs have to offer. Here's what I found.
The Infiniti QX60 and Volvo XC90 are both mid-size luxury SUVs that were tested for a week to determine which one is the better choice. The Infiniti QX60 has an attractive price of $73,750 and offers a sporty attitude with good fuel economy. On the other hand, the Volvo XC90, priced at $89,695, brings its own unique design and a more powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain.
In terms of design, the Infiniti QX60 stands out with its athletic stance, bolder front grille, and sculpted proportions, while the Volvo XC90 embraces classic Scandinavian minimalism, providing a more reserved and elegant appearance.
When it comes to fuel economy, the Volvo XC90 takes the lead with an average of 32.6 mpg, compared to the Infiniti QX60's 26.1 mpg. The Volvo XC90 also performs well in short- and long-distance tests, thanks to its plug-in hybrid powertrain. Additionally, the Volvo XC90 can operate solely on electric power for up to 32 miles, resulting in substantial fuel savings over time.
In terms of driving performance, both SUVs are easy to handle, but they differ in their acceleration. The Infiniti QX60, with its turbocharged engine, handles daily traffic competently but can be noisy under harder acceleration. The Volvo XC90, on the other hand, offers a smoother and quieter driving experience.
