Compare the2022 Land Rover Range Rover SportVS 2022 Infiniti QX60

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Range Rover Sport. But it costs extra on the QX60.

Both the Range Rover Sport and the QX60 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras, available blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Range Rover Sport P360’s standard 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid produces 60 more horsepower (355 vs. 295) and 95 lbs.-ft. more torque (365 vs. 270) than the QX60’s 3.5 DOHC V6. The Range Rover Sport P400’s standard 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid produces 100 more horsepower (395 vs. 295) and 135 lbs.-ft. more torque (405 vs. 270) than the QX60’s 3.5 DOHC V6. The Range Rover Sport’s optional 5.0 supercharged V8 produces 223 more horsepower (518 vs. 295) and 191 lbs.-ft. more torque (461 vs. 270) than the QX60’s 3.5 DOHC V6. The Range Rover Sport SVR’s standard 5.0 supercharged V8 produces 280 more horsepower (575 vs. 295) and 246 lbs.-ft. more torque (516 vs. 270) than the QX60’s 3.5 DOHC V6.

Regenerative brakes improve the Range Rover Sport’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The QX60 doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

For better stopping power the Range Rover Sport’s brake rotors are larger than those on the QX60:

For better traction, the Range Rover Sport’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the QX60 (275/40R22 vs. 255/50R20).

The Range Rover Sport’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the QX60 Luxe/Sensory/Autograph’s 50 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Range Rover Sport has standard 19-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the QX60. The Range Rover Sport’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels on the QX60 Luxe/Sensory/Autograph.

The Range Rover Sport has a standard full size spare (not available on 7-Passenger/P400e) so a flat doesn’t interrupt your trip. A full size spare isn’t available on the QX60; it requires you to depend on a temporary spare, which limits mileage and speed before replacement.

The Range Rover Sport V8 has active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The QX60 doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The front and rear suspension of the Range Rover Sport uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the QX60, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The Range Rover Sport offers an optional driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads or off-road. The QX60’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

The Range Rover Sport has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The Range Rover Sport’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The QX60 doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For greater off-road capability the Range Rover Sport SVR has a 4.1 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the QX60 (10.8 vs. 6.7 inches), allowing the Range Rover Sport to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Range Rover Sport’s minimum ground clearance is 4.2 inches higher than on the QX60 (10.9 vs. 6.7 inches).

The Range Rover Sport is 6.1 inches shorter than the QX60, making the Range Rover Sport easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Range Rover Sport has .1 inches more front shoulder room and 1.6 inches more rear headroom than the QX60.

The Range Rover Sport has a standard third row seat which folds flat into the floor. This completely clears a very large cargo area quickly. The QX60 doesn’t offer seats that fold into the floor.

The engine in the Range Rover Sport is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the QX60. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because there are no rear spark plugs and the accessory belts are in front.

The power windows standard on both the Range Rover Sport and the QX60 have locks to prevent small children from operating them. When the lock on the Range Rover Sport is engaged the driver can still operate all of the windows, for instance to close one opened by a child. The QX60 prevents the driver from operating the other windows just as it does the other passengers.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Range Rover Sport has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The QX60 doesn’t offer headlight washers.

Optional air conditioned the front and second row seats keep the Range Rover Sport’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The QX60 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats for the second row.

The Range Rover Sport’s optional Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The QX60 doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

The Range Rover Sport was selected by Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine as their 2014 4x4 of the Year. The QX60 has never been chosen.

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport outsold the Infiniti QX60 by over two to one during the 2021 model year.
