TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Acura MDX is one of the best-driving, most technologically advanced three-row luxury crossovers, and a new Sport Hybrid model and active suspension should only add to that reputation.

The 2017 Infiniti QX60 has a rich look and excellent interior space, but it doesn't deliver the driving polish that it should.

TCC Likes

Refined and quiet
Great handling

Elegant styling
Excellent third-row access

TCC Dislikes

Rough-shifting transmission
Too much bright trim
Complex infotainment interface

Less polished on road than it should be
