2023 Infiniti Qx60
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Infiniti QX60 is a three-row luxury midsize SUV aimed squarely at families who want premium refinement without stepping into full-size territory. Competing against the Acura MDX and Lexus RX 350L, it targets buyers who prioritize a polished cabin experience and practical seating for up to seven passengers. The QX60 has been a consistent presence in the upscale family hauler segment since its debut, and safety has become an increasingly important part of its story.
The 2023 Infiniti Qx60 earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 88 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 3 recalls on record, reflected in the score.
- new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally regard the QX60 as one of the more refined and livable options in the three-row luxury SUV segment, praising its upscale interior and smooth ride. Most acknowledge it as a competitive family choice while noting that some rivals edge it out on driving dynamics. Safety-feature availability, particularly on higher trims, tends to draw positive mention.
