The JX35 mpg sounds to be accurate enough. The city mpg is 18 and highway is 23. Combined it hits about 20mpg. The QX60 is much more improved with 26mpg combined.
2013 Infiniti JX35 Long-Term Update 2
For anyone interested in learning the reliability of the JX35. This should paint a clearer picture on what to expect from the QX60.
The Infiniti JX35 (soon to be re-named the QX60) has been a popular addition to Nissan's premium brand lineup, and has also garnered its share of fans among our staff. Its room for seven, and smooth-running 3.5-liter V-6 paired to a shiftless CVT makes it a relaxing companion for racking up the miles. Staff photographer Julia LaPalme had the JX in her custody when it came up for its second major maintenance appointment consisting of an oil and filter change and tire rotation. The service schedule on the JX was adjusted from Schedule 1 (severe) to Schedule 2 (normal), doubling the oil change interval from 3750 to 7500 miles.
" Driving up to the Central Coast for a weekend-long camping trip, the JX averaged 19.2 mpg. "
While it was getting serviced, a quirk with the rear liftgate function was addressed as well. It seemed the rear hatch had a tendency to want to self-close when it got to the top of its aperture. A clearance sensor for the liftgate was replaced under warranty, and it appears fingers and foreheads are now safe. In terms of fuel economy, the JX achieved an average of 18.4 to date. LaPalme recorded a 19.2 mpg average on a weekend camping trip up California's central coast.

26MPG combined is not to bad at all, although those are the reported numbers Im still going to wait for real world numbers as they would be more accurate as long as all the details are mentioned.The JX35 mpg sounds to be accurate enough. The city mpg is 18 and highway is 23. Combined it hits about 20mpg. The QX60 is much more improved with 26mpg combined.
26mpg is great, probably have to drive like a granny to get that number but hopefully not. curious what MPG's it'll get in Sport mode with the stepped CVT gears
first time hearing about this issue with the rear hatch sensor, at least the typical issue's i've been seeing all over the forums with the JX and Pathfinder haven't been reported by this reviewer so far. But at the moment it seems first production year JX and Pathfinders are best to stay away from.
