$50,200 · Crossover

$59,800 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

The 2025 INFINITI QX60 bursts onto the scene with assertive styling, offering a distinctly American take on luxury utility, starting at a tempting $50,200 MSRP and providing 268 hp. Conversely, the 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country is the definition of elegant, rugged capability, boasting superior grip with its standard All-Wheel Drive and producing a more robust 295 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, although it commands a $9,600 higher entry price. While the QX60 is slightly longer at 198.2 inches, the Volvo offers a lower, more grounded stance at 60.7 inches, hinting at superior dynamics. Fuel economy is nearly neck-and-neck, with the Volvo achieving 25 combined MPG versus the QX60's 24 combined MPG, a minor victory given the Volvo's extra power. Both require premium unleaded, but the QX60's 9-speed transmission aims for smooth efficiency against the Volvo's 8-speed setup.
