Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about comparing the 2025 Ford Expedition and 2026 INFINITI QX60.

What is the primary powertrain difference between the 2025 Expedition and the 2026 QX60?

The Ford Expedition dominates in output with 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque managed by a 10-speed automatic. Conversely, the INFINITI QX60 provides a lighter touch with 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque sent through a 9-speed automatic.

How significant is the fuel economy gap between these two luxury SUVs?

The difference is substantial; the QX60 achieves 24 MPG combined, which is 6 MPG better than the Expedition’s 18 MPG combined. This means the QX60 spends less time at the pump, even though both recommend premium fuel.

Is the higher MSRP of the Expedition justified by its performance advantage?

For buyers prioritizing power, yes; the Expedition costs $5,810 more but delivers 132 more horsepower. If acceleration and sheer capability are key, the extra cost aligns with higher performance metrics.

Which vehicle is inherently better suited for hauling large amounts of gear?

While the Expedition is a larger SUV, based solely on the provided specification, the QX60 lists 14.5 cu ft of cargo capacity, suggesting a direct comparison would depend on folded seats or towing features not fully detailed for the Expedition.

Does the difference in drive type affect daily driving comfort?

Yes; the Expedition utilizes Four Wheel Drive for enhanced traction and capability, while the QX60 is Front Wheel Drive, which typically translates to lighter steering feel and potentially quieter highway cruising at lower speeds.

Why is the Expedition's combined MPG only 18 while using premium fuel?

The lower efficiency of 18 MPG combined is largely due to the Expedition’s focus on maximizing power output (400 hp) and towing/hauling capability through its larger mass and robust powertrain, despite using premium unleaded.
