The world of mid-size crossovers is so populated, making it too difficult to select which car is best for you. There are just too many handsome, reliable, and luxurious options available at different price ranges. Here, from the many options available, we would place the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus and the 2022 Infiniti QX60 side-by-side to help you choose between the two SUVs, which one of them you should consider leasing in 2022.
The Infiniti QX60 is a stylish three-row mid-size SUV with an alluring exterior, and plush-looking interior garnished with upscale materials and numerous convenience amenities. The QX60 depicts Infiniti’s expertise when it comes to elegant designs, and we must say, we are impressed.
The Lincoln Nautilus is a luxury two-row mid-size crossover SUV with a unique exterior and an elegant cabin. It boasts cutting-edge tech, as well as range-topping luxury and convenience features. No doubts, the Infiniti QX60 and Lincoln Nautilus, are two great choices for those looking to lease a mid-size crossover in 2022.
What’s New
After skipping the 2021 model year, Infiniti’s mid-size ute returns newly-minted and ready to compete for 2022. It features a thorough and more premium exterior and interior design, with additional luxury and convenience features and more modern tech updates than its predecessor. The QX60 also gets an essential powertrain upgrade for the 2022 model year.
Lincoln’s mid-size Nautilus SUV returns with upgraded trim offerings for the 2022 model year. You can now acquire the Reserve model with a luxury package that comes with the automatic power liftgate feature, as well as another feature that allows you to lock and unlock your Nautilus using your smartphone. The luxury automaker now offers a brand-new premium package with a universal garage door control, 18-inch wheels, in-dash navigation, and a power-adjustable steering column.
Engine And Transmission
The 2022 Infiniti QX60 still has the outgoing model’s 3.5Liter naturally aspirated V-6 engine as its only power source. This engine generates 295-hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. But it now conspires with an all-new, much more acceptable nine-speed automatic transmission, which is a massive improvement from the outgoing continuously variable transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but you’d probably want to stick with the optional all-wheel drive.
On the other hand, the all-American Nautilus is powered by a base 2.0Liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 250-hp and 280 lb-ft of torque or an optional 2.7Liter turbocharged V-6 that puts out 335-hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. Both engines’ pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver power to the Nautilus front wheels. All-wheel drive is optional.
Handling And Performance
One of the first things you’d notice when you take the all-new 2022 Infiniti QX60 for a spin is its smooth and responsive transmission. Generally, the QX60 rides and handles well with sufficient steering wheel feedback and brake response, though the ride tends to be a bit stiffer if you opt for the optional 20-inch wheels. It also executes sharp corners seamlessly. In terms of acceleration, the new QX60 runs from 0-60mph in 6.7seconds. It also has an impressive towing capacity of 6000 lbs, 1000 pounds more than its predecessor.
The Lincoln Nautilus delivers a smooth and quiet ride, maintaining passenger’s comfort against potholes owing to its adaptive suspension. Though handling is not as spry as you’d expect from a luxury car brand, the 2022 Nautilus still drives well. Coming to acceleration, the 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder powered Nautilus can accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.8seconds, while the model with the optional V-6 engine does the same in 5.9seconds. If you are more concerned about power, leasing the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is a great idea.
Fuel Economy
The 2022 Infiniti QX60 has an EPA rating of 21-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway for the front-wheel-drive model and 20/25-mpg on the city and highway, respectively, for the all-wheel-drive model.
For the Lincoln Nautilus, models with the base engine rates 20-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. Opting for the turbo V-6 brings the numbers down to 18/25-mpg in the city and highway, respectively.
Interior
Just as we would expect from any luxury car brand, you are treated to a premium cabin garnished with high-tech features the moment you step into the interior of both SUVs.
Inside, the 2022 Infiniti QX60 boasts a practical and exciting interior which turns out to be a huge upgrade from the previous generation. All interior materials are high-quality, and the second-row seats can be configured to sit three or two if you opt for captain’s chairs. There’s a new standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display with Apple Carplay and Android Auto compatibility, 8-way power-adjustable and heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control. Some of the optional features include ventilated and massage front seats, heated rear seats, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, 3-zone climate control with an air purifier, a 10.8-inch head-up display, etc.
The Lincoln Nautilus also features a serene cabin with a stylish design, high-quality leather appointments, and faux suede coverings. Going up the trim levels, the Nautilus is downright luxurious, but at an enormous cost. There’s a large standard 13.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a push-button gear selector. Among the numerous options are 22-way power-adjustable seats, massaging seats, wireless smartphone charging, ventilated seats, etc.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a luxury mid-size SUV that will give you excellent value for your money, the Infiniti QX60 and Lincoln Nautilus are no doubt some of the most outstanding choices.
