Comparison Overview

Deciding between a luxurious go-anywhere attitude and mainstream family comfort often boils down to budget versus capability when comparing the 2025 Land Rover Discovery and the 2026 INFINITI QX60. The QX60 immediately grabs attention with its $51,590 MSRP, saving you $8,610 compared to the Discovery's starting price of $60,200. However, the Land Rover packs more punch, boasting 296 hp against the QX60’s 268 hp, although its efficiency suffers, netting only 21 combined MPG versus the QX60's 24 combined MPG.
