I had an xc90 as a loaner and the all touchscreen hvac control buried in the infotainment is awful and kills an otherwise great vehicle.
I’d take the qx60 over the Volvo in a heartbeat simply due to that reason.
in regard to leasing, not many good deals around on ICE vehicles, but this looks solid.
if purchasing a $65k vehicle, the qx60 would be far down my list. however, with this lease program, it would be near the top if comparing leases against it’s competitors.
Correct these inputs where they need to be corrected. Includes loyalty—do you qualify?
Paying the same full tax as a purchase every 2-3 years would not be something I would do but can’t speak for everyone else.
Volvo XC90 leases are great in the other states with low tax due and Volvo loyalty. Without loyalty I wouldn’t pay what they’re asking for an older platform.
My order of 3 row luxury SUVs has been XC90, X7 and now QX60 (can you tell leasing has gotten rough?). I can affirmatively say the Infiniti is the worst at least from a driving dynamics perspective. The transmission is sluggish and poorly mapped, the ride is a weird mix of floaty and harsh with larger bumps sending jitters through the body, it is under powered, the brakes are spongy and the stop/start is atrocious—I’ve literally felt like the car stalled at stop lights on occasion when it turns to green and there is a lag before reignition. So surprise—for 30k less msrp it can’t quite replicate a BMW experience…
In terms of value though, it does pack some good features for the price range including comfortable front seats, good heating/ventilation of those, heated middle row, easy access buttons for kids to clamber into the third row and generally good use of space and storage considering it isn’t the biggest three rower out there.
OP your deal looks much like mine in August (also TX) and there may have been more meat on the bone but I just needed something in short order. I’d encourage an extended test drive before you sign the papers though.
