5 Things Shoppers Should Know About the 2027 INFINITI QX60 Before Their First Test Drive

A showroom brochure can list every spec on the 2027 QX60, but a test drive is where you find out if those numbers actually fit your family. Tight downtown parking, gravel backroads, and long highway stretches to the Townships all put different demands on a three-row SUV. Here are the five things worth paying close attention to before you sign anything at Spinelli Infiniti.

1. Second-Row Seating and Third-Row Access

LUXE and SPORT grades use a standard second-row bench, seating seven total. AUTOGRAPH swaps in second-row captain’s chairs, dropping capacity to six but adding a wide walk-through aisle to the third row. During your drive, slide into the third row yourself: legroom back there measures 28 inches, tight for adults on long trips but workable for kids.

Try the one-touch release on the second-row seat and time how long it takes to reach row three with a child seat still installed.

2. Cabin Materials and Climate Comfort

LUXE uses TailorFit seating with a silver metallic weave dash trim, while AUTOGRAPH steps up to semi-aniline leather with quilting, contrast stitching, and open pore ash wood with a metal inlay. AUTOGRAPH also adds massaging front seats. All grades run a Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control system with a microfilter, so test the second and third-row vents, not just the front dash controls, since rear passengers get their own headliner-mounted airflow.

3. The Dual-Screen Infotainment Layout

Every grade pairs a 12.3-inch instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch touchscreen running Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto through five USB-C ports. Ask to pair your own phone in the lot; wireless setup should take under a minute. LUXE and SPORT carry a 16-speaker Klipsch system, while AUTOGRAPH moves to a 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere setup with Individual Audio, letting the driver hear navigation prompts without waking passengers listening to their own playlist.

4. Camera Coverage for City Parking

LUXE and higher grades include the 3D Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, plus Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View for spotting curbs and low obstacles. ProPILOT Assist, which pairs adaptive cruise with steering assist, comes standard across the lineup. AUTOGRAPH’s optional Technology Package adds ProPILOT Assist 2.1 and a spin-capable Around View camera.

On your drive, back into a tight space and watch how the camera view updates before assuming you need to rely on mirrors alone.

5. Powertrain Feel in Everyday Driving

Every 2027 QX60 runs the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, rated at 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque, through a 9-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The drive mode selector cycles through Standard, Sport, Eco, Tow, and Snow, so test at least two modes during your drive to feel the difference in throttle response. Towing capacity reaches 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) when properly equipped, worth noting if a trailer or boat is part of your plans.

Deciding Which Grade Fits Your Family

The choice between grades usually comes down to two questions: how many people ride with you regularly, and how much you value cabin materials over raw seat count. A family that fills all seven seats most weekends should sit in the LUXE or SPORT bench before assuming AUTOGRAPH’s captain’s chairs are worth losing a seat.

Bring the gear you actually haul, a stroller, hockey bags, or a child seat, and load it into the cargo area during your visit. The numbers on paper only matter once they match your trunk reality.
