INTERIOR

QX60:

MDX:

RX 350:

As you can see the QX60 is the only one with truely functional 3rd row seating, the second row tilts forward to allow adult access to the 3rd row. to reach the MDXs third row you have to fold the second row down and climb up over top. Not very graceful for a luxury vehicle. The Lexus goes without a 3rd row..

Keep in mind though, none come standard with the Nav screen pictured, and the Lexus does NOT come standard with leather seats.

These interiors are pretty even. Overall I think I do like the QX60 the best. I like the center control panel the best.

The asymmetrical center console of the Lexus is cool with the shifter balancing it out.

I think from here its a battle with the RX 350. It has a pretty nice interior I have to say Lexus never lets a sub par interior slip out to production. It's a tough call really.

I do favor the steering wheel design of the Acura and Lexus. But apart from that I prefer the Infiniti interior. Maybe it's just a matter of what you are use to.

I'll tell you though I am use to the Acura interior layout but its getting boring real fast. When I sat in the JX I thought it was nice and that is when I started appreciating Infiniti.

in my opinion the Lexus has the nicest looking steering wheel, it's suitable for an SUV but at the same time sporty enough that you'll feel like your behind the wheel of a sports coupe or sedan

The Lexus steering wheel looks nice but my complaint is that its a little bit too thick.

They have the same steering wheel for many of the Lexus cars.

For me the Infiniti and Lexus look nicer than the Acura. I have to give the win to the QX60 though. It uses nicer materials and has a classier design than the other too.

I do like the positioning of the Lexus' shifter though.

The seats of the QX60 also stand out to me as an aspect that is better than the others'.

does anyone know if the wood trim on the QX60 is made from real wood?

 

[BobOB]

We've had this posting on the Infiniti JX forum last year and the verdict is that it is real. I just was at our dealership and they had the center console in the parts department. I asked if it was real wood and the manager said it is a veneered wood.

 

[SameButDifferent]

It wouldn't be very luxurious if it was fake wood. Its nice to know that each car is completely unique because you will never get the same wood grain in more than one car. Do any cars actually use fake wood. I hope not in the luxury market at least. That would be such a cop out.

The MDX second row slides and its seatback tilts forward for access to the third row, like in a two-door car. It's not as hard to get in as that photo suggests, though harder than in the QX60..

 

[foreverJX]

havent played with the new MDX. the QX60 probably has the best 3rd row access in the class.

but imagine how environmentally friendly a hybrid QX60 with fake wood would be!
