INFINITI QX60 vs Nissan Pathfinder | Dayton, OH

---

As many Montgomery County, OH residents know, INFINITI is Nissan's luxury brand. Decades ago, when Nissan wanted to break into the upscale vehicle market, the company created INFINITI to lend their luxury vehicles their own branding. Ever since, INFINITI has been creating quality, luxurious vehicles for Americans in Ohio and beyond.

This article is going to take an in-depth look at the all-new 2022 INFINITI QX60 and the Nissan Pathfinder. The latter is the SUV on which the QX60 is based. The goal is to help Dayton, OH area drivers figure out which vehicle better meets their needs, and those of their loved ones.

The 2022 Makeover

Both the QX60 and the Pathfinder received a makeover for the 2022 model year. The QX60's interior cabin was dramatically redesigned, with the inclusion of high-quality materials, including the leather found in all of the QX60's different trims. Kettering, OH area drivers will also enjoy the heated front seats that come in the new 2022 QX60.

INFINITI's redesign efforts were not limited to the interior of the vehicle: the exterior has been refined, for a more sleek look. Whether you're taking the family out of Dayton for a long trip or cruising around Springboro on your errands, heads will turn when you drive around in the luxurious QX60.

The Pathfinder's redesign was also far-ranging. Like the QX60 that is based upon it, the Pathfinder remains a three-row SUV, but Ohio residents can now opt for a pair of captain's chairs over the second-row bench seating. The interior overall feels more upscale than older Pathfinder models, but it is not as comfortable as the luxury QX60's cabin. Many of the features that are standard on the QX60 - like the heated seats - are just options on the Nissan Pathfinder.

Dependability and Utility

While INFINITI is known for making luxury vehicles, the company does not sacrifice utility or durability in its design philosophy The QX60 enjoys a powerful V6 engine and a towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds! This means that Dayton, OH area residents can easily take their families on a long trip while towing a camper or a boat. Even the kids will enjoy the ride because of the vehicle's available Wi-Fi hotspot and easy-to-use music connectivity features.

The Nissan Pathfinder uses the same engine and chassis design as the QX60, so it enjoys the same towing capacity. While the vehicle can fit as many people as the QX60, the level of comfort once inside is not the same. This is because the Pathfinder offers fewer features than the QX60.

While the Pathfinder and QX60 both enjoy modern safety features, including collision warning, automated emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring, the QX60 has even more safety measures in place. The top three trims (of four) enjoy an Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, traffic sign recognition, and lane departure prevention.

Conclusion

Both the Nissan Pathfinder and the QX60 are three-row SUVs with significant towing capacities. That means that they're both suitable for taking the family out of the Dayton, OH area - with the boat in tow - or for running errands around town.

The QX60, however, lets Montgomery County area drivers do all of this in comfort and luxury. Features like heated leather seats will ensure that you enjoy the time spent driving in your all-new 2022 QX60.
