Right-Sized for Every Day

As close siblings, the Nissan Pathfinder and the INFINITI QX60 share similar, family-ready proportions, starting with their nearly identical exterior dimensions.

Even so, the Pathfinder’s slightly more compact footprint and square-shouldered design is beneficial in everyday driving, especially when navigating tight city streets, crowded parking lots, or packed school pick-up lanes.

Those exterior similarities carry over inside, including identical third-row legroom. But as the one behind the wheel, your space matters just as much, and that’s where a key difference appears: the Pathfinder offers 44.3 inches of front legroom compared to the QX60’s 42.1 inches. Those extra inches give you more space to stretch, settle in, and stay comfortable through every commute, carpool, and cross-country drive.

Space That Moves With You

When you’re driving a 3-row SUV, you can count on one thing: your passengers rarely travel light. From grocery runs and science projects to duffel bags packed with cleats and soccer balls, cargo space matters—especially when every seat is filled.

• Nissan Pathfinder Cargo Volume (Behind 3rd Row): 16.6 cu. ft.
• INFINITI Cargo Volume (Behind 3rd Row): 14.5 cu. ft.

When your cargo-to-crew ratio shifts, the Pathfinder adapts. Fold down the rear seats to open 80.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, again exceeding the QX60’s 75.4 cubic feet. The result is greater flexibility and confidence when everyone—and everything—needs to come along.

Strength When It Matters

For confident acceleration and everyday strength, both the Nissan Pathfinder and the INFINITI QX60 equip capable powertrains. Still, meaningful differences emerge:

Both pair their engines with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission. However, the Pathfinder builds on that foundation with its Rock Creek trim, increasing output to 295 horsepower for even more strength on demand.

Each SUV comes standard with front-wheel drive and offers enhanced traction systems. In the Pathfinder, available Intelligent 4x4 works alongside up to seven Drive and Terrain Modes, helping navigate slippery roadways, sand, dirt, and more when reaching campsites or tournament fields. While the INFINITI offers five selectable drive modes, its tuning is geared toward refinement, whereas the Pathfinder emphasizes versatility and control in more real-world conditions.

Built to Go Beyond the Pavement

Ready to answer the call of adventure? Both SUVs tow up to 6,000 pounds, making it easy to bring along a camper, small boat, or a pair of jet skis or ATVs.* Tow Mode and Trailer Sway Control add confidence, no matter where you’re heading so you can pack what you need and proceed with confidence.

But when the pavement fades into rutted trails or uneven ground, clearance counts. The QX60 offers 6.7 inches of ground clearance regardless of trim level, while the Pathfinder delivers 7.1 inches of standard ground clearance and 7.7 inches with the Rock Creek trim. That extra margin provides peace of mind for cresting steep hills or driveways, accessing trailheads, or when your SUV is heavily loaded.

Comfort That Fits Your Family

Both the Nissan Pathfinder and the INFINITI QX60 come well-equipped with thoughtful details to keep everyone on board happy. Similar standard or available features include:

• 8-way adjustable driver seat with power lumbar support
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated second-row seats
• Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
• Panoramic moonroof
• Power liftgate

The INFINITI QX60 emphasizes its luxury identity with elevated materials like available quilted semi-aniline leather and premium finishes. The Nissan Pathfinder takes a more practical approach, pairing comfort with durability through easy-clean, stain-resistant seating surfaces built to handle muddy paws, snack spills, and everyday family life. It comes down to priorities: refined indulgence or resilient comfort designed for how your family actually travels.

Connected and Protected

Today’s drivers rely on in-vehicle technologies to stay connected on the road. Nissan and INFINITI make it easy to check in when running late, navigate to your next destination, or place a take-out order after the game. Similar standard or available infotainment features include:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• Wireless charging
• Google Assistant™
• Connected services with Wi-Fi hotspot

Of course, the most important technologies are those that keep your family safe. Both SUVs have comprehensive driver-assistance suites, monitoring blind spots and other hard-to-see areas and taking proactive measures when needed.

Two features standard on the Pathfinder but optional on the QX60 are Intelligent Driver Alertness, which detects drowsy or distracted driving, and Intelligent Cruise Control with Full Speed Range and Hold, which manages stop-and-go traffic. Together, they give the Pathfinder technology that helps you drive with confidence.
