Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Explorer than in the INFINITI QX60. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Ford Explorer and the INFINITI QX60.

Convenience

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Explorer will have less of an impact on your bank account than the INFINITI QX60.

The Ford Explorer is a little wider than the INFINITI QX60, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Ford Explorer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the INFINITI QX60.

Performance

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Explorer transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the INFINITI QX60.
