Choose the 2020 INFINITI QX60

The 2020 INFINITI QX60 has inevitably drawn comparison to a number of other SUVs in its class, including the 2020 Acura MDX. Yet despite the similarities, critics continue to agree that you simply get more from the QX60 — especially when you take into account its lower price tag. If you're interested in a luxury SUV to get around Fort Myers and beyond, it's time to review the facts.

A Stronger Powertrain

In terms of power, the QX60 against the MDX may look neck-and-neck. But while both have DOHC V6 engines, you get more horsepower, torque, and towing capacity with the QX60. The MDX can only tow up to 3,500 pounds without all-wheel drive, but the QX60 can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. So if you wanted to take your boat out to Bunche Beach for the weekend, you won't have to worry about whether your INFINITI can handle the load.

Irresistible Safety Features

The safety of Acura's MDX can't hold a candle to the QX60. With moving object detection, you get real-time alerts and the heads-up you need to react. Blindspot warnings ensure you don't have to take your eyes off the car in front of you just to double-check there isn't one creeping up on the side.

Rear-door alert ensures that none of your younger passengers will open their door into oncoming traffic (be it from a car, bike, or pedestrian). And speaking of the kids in your life, the sliding second row of the QX60 is equipped with Child Restraint Seat Mode, so everyone stays secure in even the most turbulent of scenarios.

Drivers will also have the benefit of predictive collision warning, which will track the motion of the road and provide the forward emergency braking technology a few extra seconds to stop in time. With the MDX, these features are either available only on premium versions or not available at all.

A Little More Comfort

The QX60 offers just a few extras for owners that the MDX doesn't, including a 2nd- and 3rd-row moonroof w/ power rear shade, USB-C ports, and a motion-activated liftgate. Enjoy the breeze, sun, and stars from above without baking your car in harmful UV rays.

Plug in your devices, so your tech is always charged and ready for action. And use the liftgate whenever you have your arms just a little too full of groceries or shopping bags. The Plasmacluster air purifier of the is really just icing on the cake. It's an excellent choice for those with anything from allergies to asthma (or for anyone who just enjoys breathing in clear air).

The 2020 INFINITI QX60 is an escape from the everyday pressure of life in Fort Myers, giving you the chance to enjoy a little peace and luxury in an SUV that can take at least some of the burden off your shoulders. The MDX, try as it might, just can't quite match it.
