The 2014 Infiniti QX60 most directly takes on the Acura MDX, a model that's far less stylish, and has worse fuel economy and tighter third-row access.
Other than that, the Audi Q7 is larger, heavier, and can be considerably more expensive; though it does offer an optional TDI diesel engine that delivers remarkable fuel efficiency--perhaps better than the QX60 on the highway.
The Buick Enclave, lightly restyled and refreshed for 2013, has continued to gain customers of its own in the large crossover segment, though it's possible Infiniti buyers might not even consider a Buick.
That same issue may apply to the Lincoln MKT, the largest Lincoln crossover, and one that's particularly roomy and comfortable, but one which hasn't gotten much traction in the market.
Finally, the top end of the Toyota Highlander range--the seven-passenger, all-wheel-drive Highlander Hybrid--delivers much better fuel economy, but it's still a Toyota.
