INFINITI QX60 Luxe vs Pure

The INFINITI QX60 is a refined choice in the luxury three-row SUV segment, offering sophisticated styling and advanced technology. If you’re considering buying this premium vehicle, understanding the differences between the PURE and LUXE trim levels is essential for making an informed purchase decision. Both trims accommodate seven passengers comfortably, making them ideal for families seeking luxury transportation. Let our team at INFINITI of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, guide you through the QX60 trim level differences.

Performance Capabilities

Both the QX60 PURE and LUXE trims share fundamental performance capabilities. Each has a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that generates 268 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 286 horsepower at 4,400 rpm. The engine pairs with asmooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission, and both trims feature INFINITI’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system for confident handling in varied driving conditions. The LUXE trim includes ProPILOT Assist, a semi-autonomous driver-assistance system that adds an extra layer of safety and convenience by helping with steering, acceleration, and braking on highways.

Interior Comfort and Design

The QX60’s interior demonstrates attention to detail across both trim levels. The PURE model includes leather-appointed seating in Sand Stone or Graphite shades, front-seat heating features, and dual-zone climate control. The LUXE upgrades to tri-zone climate control with separate temperature settings for front and rear passengers to enhance comfort throughout the cabin. It further underlines the luxury experience with a Silver Metallic Weave interior and trim and adds climate-controlled front seats for additional comfort.

Seating adjustability differs between the two. The PURE includes an eight-way power driver’s seat with memory settings and an eight-way power passenger seat with memory. The LUXE adds a power tilt and telescopic steering column with customizable settings for optimal driver comfort and convenience.

Both QX60 trims have identical cargo capacity specifications: 14.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 41.6 cubic feet behind the second, and 75.4 cubic feet behind the first. A panoramic moonroof with a power sunshade comes standard on both models, adding to the spacious feel of the interior.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The QX60’s technology features incorporate a 12.3-inch INFINITI InTouch touch-screen display, which is standard in both trims. The PURE trim includes a standard audio system and a 7-inch electroluminescent gauge display for essential vehicle information. The LUXE features a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument panel that offers enhanced customization and clearer visualization of vehicle data. It also has an upgraded Bose Performance Series Audio system for enhanced sound quality.

Both trims support wireless smartphone connectivity that incorporates Apple CarPlay integration and Android Auto compatibility; they also include a Wi-Fi hot spot for continuous internet access. The LUXE adds built-in navigation with Navi-link, a feature unavailable in the PURE model. The driver information display also differs between trims, providing different levels of customization and information accessibility.

Exterior Design and Aesthetic Appeal

The QX60’s exterior styling varies between trim levels. The PURE rides on 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, while the LUXE features larger 20-inch wheels with a dark silver finish. The PURE has a rearview monitor, while the LUXE upgrades to an around-view monitor with moving object detection to provide a virtual 360-degree view of the area surrounding the car. Both trims include LED headlamps, a motion-activated tailgate, keyless ignition, and power-folding mirrors with remote-activated lighting.

The QX60 offers an extensive range of exterior color options. The PURE trim comes in Mineral Black, Graphite Shadow, Glacier White, and Grand Blue. The LUXE trim adds three sophisticated choices to the palette: Warm Titanium, which offers a modern metallic finish, Majestic White with pearl effects, and Deep Bordeaux with rich burgundy tones. The LUXE trim also includes silver roof rails, adding to its premium exterior appearance.

Pricing and Value Proposition

The 2025 INFINITI QX60 PURE AWD starts at $52,200, while the LUXE AWD begins at $58,800. Both trims include a destination charge of $1,350. The $6,600 price difference between trims reflects the significant upgrades in the LUXE, including the 20-inch wheels, climate-controlled seats, navigation system, and Bose audio system.
