2027 Infiniti QX60 vs. 2026 Mazda CX-70

CarGurus rates the 2026 INFINITI QX60 5.3/10, saying, based on the Nissan Pathfinder, it is neither compelling nor competitive, meeting the barest of expectations in the midsize luxury SUV segment and looking and feeling entirely disconnected from Infiniti's history of building stylish, enjoyable-to-drive vehicles, recommending it only in Pure or Luxe trim if the lease payment undercuts the competition, and otherwise suggesting a loaded Nissan Pathfinder or one of its rivals instead. TrueCar says the Mazda CX-70's $44,280 MSRP undercuts the INFINITI QX60's $53,465 by $9,185, and the CX-70 also wins on fuel economy at 23 city/28 highway mpg versus the QX60's 22 city/28 highway.
