Both luxury vehicles provide a good amount of interior space and both offer a number of solid options when it comes to engines. In addition, both offer a high level of performance and a wealth of luxury features. Overall, the Acura MDX pulls into the lead on a number of key points so here's a comparison of these two attractive SUVs and why the Acura MDX is worth buying at our Columbus, GA dealership.
A comparison of interior space
The new Acura MDX gives Auburn and Opelika owners 38.5 inches of second-row legroom compared with only 37.7 inches of legroom in the second row for the Infiniti QX60. The Acura MDX also provides more legroom in the third row at 29.1 inches compared with only 28.0 inches of third-row legroom in the Infiniti QX60. In addition, the Acura MDX gives you 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row compared with only 14.5 cubic feet of cargo space in the Infiniti QX60. So in multiple areas, the Acura MDX wins round #1 when it comes to interior space.
A comparison of seating capacity
Both the new Acura MDX and the Infiniti QX60 provide enough seating capacity for a family of up to seven. Both vehicles also give you optional second-row captain's chairs which reduces overall seating capacity to six. The Acura MDX allows you to configure the second row with a removable center seat, creating captain's chairs and giving you easier access to the third row. So while both vehicles have the same seating capacity, the MDX wins round #2 by giving you an extra level of flexibility.
A comparison of engines and performance
The new Acura MDX comes with a standard 3.0-turbocharged V6 engine with 355 horsepower. The Infiniti QX60 also has a V6 engine but it produces only 295 horsepower, 60 less than the MDX. What's more, the MDX V6 engine gives you 354 pound-feet of torque compared with only 270 pound-feet in the Infiniti QX60, so the MDX provides 84 more pound-feet. Both luxury SUVs give Phenix City buyers a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. When it comes to transmissions, the MDX comes with a standard 10-speed automatic compared with only a nine-speed automatic on the QX60. In general, more transmission speeds give you smoother shifting.
The Acura MDX outperforms the Infiniti QX60 when it comes to pure speed. The MDX can reach 60 mph in 6.2 seconds while the QX60 requires 7.3 seconds. The MDX can hit the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds vs. 15.7 seconds for the Infiniti QX60. The top speed in the quarter-mile is 96.2 mph for the MDX compared with only 87.9 mph in the QX60. So when it comes to horsepower, torque and speed, the MDX wins round #3.
A comparison of luxury and convenience features
Both the Acura MDX and the Infiniti QX60 have upscale interiors with available leather upholstery. The MDX gives you 16-way power adjustability in the front seats while the Infiniti QX60 only gives you eight-way power adjustability. When the windows are left open on the MDX the driver can close all of them using the outside door handle. So on a hot day, the owner can lower the windows with the outside door handle or from a distance with the keyless remote. The driver of the QX60 can only close the windows inside the vehicle with the ignition turned on. So in the area of luxury and convenience, the Acura MDX wins round #4.
