The 2024 Infiniti QX60 AWD’s 22 MPG combined won’t set any fuel efficiency records, but it’s an acceptable figure for buyers of this luxurious three-row SUV. QX60 shoppers prioritize spaciousness, comfort, and a premium feel; fuel efficiency usually isn’t their top priority. They want a refined family vehicle, and this V6-powered Infiniti provides that experience with mileage that’s competitive in its class.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates the 2024 Infiniti QX60 AWD will get 20 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. These numbers reflect typical stop-and-go driving and steady cruising, respectively. The city figure is what to expect during school drop-offs, errands, and normal city traffic. The highway number is more likely on longer trips, but aggressive driving or steep hills will lower it. The 9-speed automatic transmission works well with the 3.5L V6, helping to optimize fuel usage in both situations. The QX60’s V6 needs revs to perform best, so expect lower MPG if you accelerate quickly often.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost for the 2024 Infiniti QX60 AWD at $2,650. This is based on driving 15,000 miles per year, with a 55/45 split between city and highway driving, and using national average fuel prices when calculated. Your actual fuel costs may be higher or lower depending on your driving habits, fuel type, and location, because fuel prices vary. However, $2,650 is a good baseline for comparison.

Real-world expectations

EPA estimates are useful for comparison, but real-world fuel economy varies. Driving style, traffic, weather, and tire pressure all affect MPG. Owners who accelerate smoothly, anticipate traffic, and maintain their vehicles well will likely see numbers closer to the EPA estimates. Aggressive drivers, those who often carry heavy loads, or those who idle a lot in traffic should expect lower numbers. Monitor your fuel economy to identify issues that might be affecting your MPG.

How it compares

The QX60’s fuel economy is in the middle of its class. The Acura MDX SH-AWD, another Japanese luxury SUV, gets 21 MPG combined. The Volvo XC90 B6 AWD, with its turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, gets 22 MPG combined, the same as the QX60. The Lincoln Aviator with its standard twin-turbo V6 offers a lower 19 MPG combined. The BMW X5 xDrive40i gets 23 MPG combined. These differences can add up over years, but the QX60 offers a mix of luxury and performance that some find worth it.

Tips to maximize efficiency

The best way to improve fuel economy in your QX60 is to drive smoothly and gradually. Avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking, because these use more fuel. Anticipate traffic and keep a safe distance to avoid sudden stops.

Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure, which is on the label inside your driver’s side door. Underinflated tires create rolling resistance, which reduces fuel efficiency. Check your tire pressure regularly, especially when the temperature changes.

Reduce weight inside the vehicle. Extra items in the cargo area or back seats add to the QX60’s weight, making the engine work harder and consume more fuel. Remove items that aren’t needed for daily driving or trips.

Consider using the QX60’s drive mode selector to choose “Eco” mode, if available. This adjusts the engine and transmission to prioritize fuel efficiency. Performance may be slightly reduced, but the difference is often small, and the fuel savings can be worthwhile.

Regular maintenance is important for fuel economy. Keep your QX60’s engine tuned and the air filter clean. A dirty air filter restricts airflow, reducing performance and fuel efficiency.
