Luxury vs Mainstream: Infiniti QX60 vs Toyota Highlander
More than just a Payment: What Real Luxury Gets You
Shopping for a 7-passenger SUV and debating between a Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum and an Infiniti QX60 Black Edition?
The Highlander may wear a lower price tag, but it doesn't tell the whole story. With significantly lower interest rates, included maintenance, and luxury-tier amenities, the QX60 often makes better financial sense - not just emotional sense.

The Real Story: It's not just about MSRP
At first glance, the Highlander's sticker price looks lower. But over the course of 60 months, you'll likely pay thousands more in interest - and that's not including the cost of maintenance, which is included with the QX60.
Choosing Infiniti means:
- A more refined ride
- Concierge-style perks like valet service
- And, surprisingly, less money out of your pocket long-term
Total Ownership Value - Built In
Infiniti QX60 includes:
- Complimentary basic maintenance for 4 years or 80,000 km
- Valet pick-up & drop-off for service
- Access to rates as low as 0% with "Loyalty for All" and our MSD program
- More generous warranty coverage
Toyota? You'll pay extra for oil changes. Extra for tire rotations. And, a lot extra in interest.
