And while the ride is generally comfortable, potholes and frost heaves will be felt, the Autograph’s 20-inch tires (P255/50R20s all around) were not overly forgiving. In terms of ride and handling, the QX60 is what’s sometimes referred to as a “softy.” It doesn’t corner with any great enthusiasm, preferring a milder approach when making a turn.
As for fuel economy, I averaged 9.6 L/100 km during my week with the Infiniti, quite reasonable for its size, with most of the driving taking place on four-lane and secondary highways. No need for futzing, there was beaucoup torque (270 pound-feet) and grip available for the situation. The drive selector, which offers Personal, Sport, Auto (the default), Snow and Eco modes, was left untouched, as were the paddle shifters. It’s a smooth, well-packaged combination that proved more than adequate on Airport Road’s long inclines, never running out of breath, downshifting quickly and efficiently. Nissan passes on turbo power for the crossover, opting for a normally aspirated, 295-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 engine teamed with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Motoring up to Creemore was indeed serene, which is pretty much the QX60’s raison d’être.
