You’re drawn to sustainability but not at the expense of comfort or convenience. That’s why models like the INFINITI QX60 and the Volvo XC90, with their blend of presence, poise, and practicality, have your attention.

Luxury That Moves With You
DRIVE
School drop-offs, out-of-town soccer tournaments, weekend visits to Grandma’s, and the occasional remote getaway all mix into your weekly routine alongside your daily commute. Whether you’re sticking to familiar streets or detour into unknown territory, the right SUV needs to deliver reliability and should handle whatever you bring along.
More Standard Muscle
TThe INFINITI QX60 and the Volvo XC90 come standard with high-output gasoline engines, but only one delivers elevated performance without requiring a trim-level upgrade. Right out of the gate, the QX60 offers more horsepower, more torque, and a transmission designed for dynamic driving.
| INFINITI QX60 | Volvo XC90 | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Horsepower | 268 HP | 247 HP |
| Standard Torque | 286 lb-ft | 266 lb-ft |
The INFINITI pairs its engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission, offering smoother shifts and Drive Mode Selector to help tailor your experience. By contrast, the Volvo’s mated 8-speed transmission may be less responsive when conditions call for control.
Real-World Capability
Every road trip has its own cargo list and can benefit from the capability to take along a trailer, boat, or other recreational equipment. When properly equipped, the INFINITI QX60 can tow up to 6,000 pounds, which is 1,000 more pounds than the Volvo XC90’s limit. That extra capacity can be the difference between saying, “Let’s bring it” or “Better leave it behind.”
Beyond the freedom to bring more without pushing limits or compromising safety, the INFINITI QX60 may be better suited for traveling to a remote campsite. While both models offer all-wheel drive (AWD), only the QX60 adds the available Smart RearView Mirror and 3D AroundView® Monitor with Fixed and Moving Object Detection . Enjoy unobstructive views of your surroundings, even with a trailer attached. These intuitive features add a 360-degree perspective to maneuver and park with confidence when towing.
DISTINCTION
With your sense of style and confident presence, you know how to make a first impression. And when you spend so much time behind the wheel, often with every seat filled, you crave serenity and deserve a touch of indulgence. These luxury SUVs rise to the occasion, with meticulous craftsmanship and attention paid to every thoughtful detail.
Design That Demands Attention
The INFINITI QX60 turns heads with bold proportions, fluid curves, and its origami-inspired grille. It’s ready to move, even standing still. In comparison, the Volvo XC90 is reserved and upright, better reflecting Scandinavian minimalism.
While the XC90 comes in shades like Mulberry Red and Denim Blue, its palette leans neutral. The QX60, however, stands out with vibrant hues like Deep Emerald, Deep Bordeaux, and Grand Blue, and there are two-tone options available with a Black Obsidian roof.
Both models feature a standard panoramic moonroof that adds light and openness to their already airy interiors, but only the QX60 includes puddle lamps and the available INFINITI Light Path, a subtle ground illumination that elevates every arrival. From every angle, the INFINITI QX60 turns first impressions into double takes.
Feels Like Home
A luxury vehicle is defined by more than its materials; it’s also about the comfort it brings every day. The INFINITI QX60 and the Volvo XC90 offer available amenities like leather-trimmed, massaging front seats and second-row captain’s chairs. However, only the QX60 provides 4-way power lumbar support for front seats, a standard feature across all trims that is offered only with the highest trim level of the XC90.
Of course, features alone don’t create comfort. Spaciousness matters, too, especially for the driver. Here, the QX60 leads with more front headroom and legroom to help you feel at ease, even in stop-and-go traffic.
| INFINITI QX60 | Volvo XC90 | |
|---|---|---|
| Front Headroom | 41 in. | 38.9 in. |
| Front Legroom | 42.1 in. | 40.9 in. |
That advantage extends to cargo space as well. With all seats upright, the QX60 offers 14.5 cubic feet of storage, while the XC90 provides just 10.6 cubic feet, proof that comfort doesn’t stop at the driver’s seat.
DIGITAL
When you’re juggling coffee, carpools, and conference calls, you need in-vehicle technology that’s intuitive, easily accessible, and launched without hesitation. Because you rarely fly solo in your 3-row SUV, you want total reassurance that you and your most precious cargo will arrive safely at your destination.
Seamlessly Connected
If you’re traveling on a sunny day with clear skies, your riders may long for a taste of the great outdoors. Some fresh air and natural light can go a long way when you’re out for hours at a time. Expertly designed vehicles allow you to take full advantage of this, particularly the Acura RDX.
Still, only the INFINITI QX60 includes wireless smartphone integration. Volvo drivers will need to remember to bring a USB cord to connect to their device or skip out on connecting their smartphone altogether.
Another win for the QX60 is the larger, 12.3-inch center display versus the 11.2-inch screen in the Volvo XC90. A 1-inch difference may not seem like a lot on paper, but it makes a huge difference in terms of increasing visibility and decreasing eyestrain while you’re out and about. And if you crave an immersive commute, you may prefer the INFINITI QX60 with its optional 20-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere with Individual Audio system over the 14-speaker setup with the XC90.
Peace of Mind, Built In
The best technologies are the ones that make you feel safe every time you head out. The INFINITI QX60 and the Volvo XC90 feature extensive safety suites that help keep a watchful eye in all directions. While you’ll find predictive capabilities like Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Warning with each SUV, the QX60 offers more assurance with exclusive features like:
- Rear Automatic Braking
- High Beam Assist
- Available Driver Attention Alert
While you’ll find a brand-specific version of Adaptive Cruise Control, only the INFINITI QX60 offers standard Predictive Forward Collision Warning technology, monitoring not just the car ahead but also the one in front of it. To add another layer of protection when the unexpected happens, the QX60 also offers a built-in Dual Camera Drive Recorder, which the Volvo XC90 does not.
Experience Serenity in Motion
In comparing the INFINITI QX60 and the Volvo XC90, both SUVs offer forward-thinking design, premium features, and everyday utility. But only the QX60 brings it all together in a harmonious package, proving itself as a true partner for your travels near Jacksonville, Orange Park, and Green Cove Springs, FL.
With seamless performance, a sanctuary-like interior, and intuitive technology, the QX60 delivers purposeful luxury for discerning drivers. Ready to take the wheel? Contact Atlantic INFINITI to schedule your test drive today.
