• Volvo XC90 – Volvo XC90 vs. INFINITI QX60 specs are hardly a real battle for the Volvo SUV. For starters, it has two available engines, while the INFINITI model only has one. Furthermore, the Volvo XC90 makes up to 295 horsepower and earns a maximum EPA-estimated 23/30/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).¹

Safety & Reliability

Alongside a long list of safety features, the Volvo XC90 inspires more confidence with its IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.³ Additionally, the Volvo SUV offers additional driver aids compared to the INFINITI SUV.

• Volvo XC90 – This section of the Volvo XC90 vs. INFINITI QX60 comparison won't take long. The IIHS already confirmed what we believed, rating the Volvo XC90 as a Top Safety Pick+;³ this is based on the 2025 model, as 2026 data is not out at the time of this writing. Standard features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Whiplash Injury Protection seats, Rear Park Assist, and more.
• INFINITI QX60 – Meanwhile, the INFINITI QX60 received a lower Top Safety Pick⁴ rating for the 2025 model year. When it comes to safety systems, the INFINITI QX60 struggles to keep up. While it is standard with a Rear Sonar System, Intelligent Cruise Control is available in higher trims, and Whiplash Injury Protection seats aren't offered at all.

Both the Volvo XC90 and the INFINITI QX60 are three-row SUVs with six or seven seats, depending on the configuration, but the Volvo XC90 offers 10.7 cubic feet of extra maximum cargo room.

• Volvo XC90 – This SUV boasts a considerable amount of maximum cargo room, namely 85.7 cubic feet. Additionally, the new Volvo XC90 for sale offers quilted Nordico and Nappa leather upholstery options, along with available power side bolsters and a power-operated cushion extension for the driver's seat.
• INFINITI QX60 – The INFINITI QX60 SUV falls short for cargo space with just 75.4 cubic feet of total volume. Furthermore, it comes with TailorFit seating as standard, with semi-aniline leather offered in the top trim. It does not have any available extras for the driver's seat like the Volvo SUV.

Interior & Comfort

• INFINITI QX60 – The QX60 tries to keep pace, also offering heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, but it ultimately fails.

Not to mention, a crystal gear selector knob is not offered at all.

Features & Tech
