Rent Infiniti QX60 2021 in Dubai

Pay on delivery, your way: when we hand over an Infiniti QX60 2021 in Dubai, you can settle by card, cash, or wallet at the door, no awkward dance at a desk first. That flexibility matters more than it sounds when you're landing with a family and want the keys without friction. This is the previous-generation QX60, and that's the whole point of renting it. You get a genuine three-row luxury SUV, soft leather, a quiet cabin, and seven seats, at a softer rate than the latest model commands. The question this page answers is simple: is the older QX60 enough car for your week, or should you spend up.

What you're actually renting

The 2021 QX60 is the last of the first-generation cars, and it ages well. The 3.5-litre V6 makes 295 horsepower through a CVT, with all-wheel drive on tap. On Sheikh Zayed Road it cruises without drama and has plenty in reserve for an overtake at 120. The CVT is smooth rather than sharp, which suits a family hauler better than it would a sports saloon. Around town it's calm and the steering is light, so the size never feels like a chore once you're moving.

What you give up versus the 2023 redesign is mostly newer cabin tech. What you keep is the part that decides a family rental: a quiet, comfortable cabin with proper second-row space and air that reaches the back.

We list only the figures we can stand behind. The source page shows colour availability as blue, so treat the exact colour as subject to fleet stock rather than a promise.

Will my family and luggage fit

For a family of five or six, the QX60 is comfortable. Two adults up front, two or three across the middle row, and the kids have room to spread out on a long airport run. The third row is the honest part. It's fine for children or for two adults on a short hop across town, but nobody over about twelve wants it for the full hour out to Hatta. Treat row three as occasional seating, not daily adult space.

The trade-off shows in the boot. With all three rows up, cargo room is tight, enough for a few soft bags and a small case, not a week of hard luggage for seven. Fold the third row and the space opens up properly, easily swallowing several large cases for a family of five. So the realistic split is this: seven people and almost no luggage, or five people and a full boot. If you genuinely need seven seats and a week of suitcases at the same time, a full-size SUV is the better call.

Heat, cooling, and the cabin in summer

This is a big cabin, and in a Dubai July a big cabin takes longer to cool than a hatchback. Parked in the open at 45 degrees, expect the first couple of minutes to feel rough before the front vents start winning. The QX60 helps you here with rear vents that actually feed the second row, so kids in the back aren't left baking while the front cools first. Crack the windows for ten seconds as you pull away to dump the worst of the trapped heat, then let it settle. Once it's down, the climate holds steady even in stop-and-go traffic.

Driving and parking it in Dubai

At around five metres long, the QX60 is a big SUV, and you'll feel that in a Marina tower car park or a tight mall bay. The turning circle is reasonable for the class, but multi-storey ramps and U-turns ask for a bit of patience. The reversing camera earns its keep in narrow bays. Ground clearance is set for tarmac and the odd raised speed bump, not dunes, so take the steeper community speed humps at a crawl and don't mistake this for a dune basher.

On the open road it's in its element. DXB and DWC airport runs with a full load are quiet and unhurried, and the V6 never feels strained merging onto the E11.

A few Dubai facts to keep straight. Salik tolls are billed to you as the renter, and any RTA fines during your rental pass to you as well. Seat belts are required in every seat, and children under four need a proper child seat, worth sorting before you collect the car.

Fuel and how often you'll stop

A 3.5-litre V6 in a heavy AWD SUV is not frugal, and there's no point pretending otherwise. In mixed Dubai driving expect to fill up more often than you would in a four-cylinder crossover. Fuel here is cheap, so the cost stays reasonable even if the pump visits are frequent. The tank is large enough that a week of city errands and a couple of airport runs won't have you refuelling constantly, but factor in one good top-up if you head out of the city and back.

Who should rent it, and who should step up

Rent the 2021 QX60 if you want a comfortable, well-equipped seven-seat luxury SUV for a family week in Dubai and you'd rather put the saving toward the trip than toward the newest dashboard. For school runs, mall trips, and airport pickups with kids, it does everything the latest car does where it counts, for less.

Step up to the 2023 QX60 if you want the newer cabin and the latest tech and the rate gap doesn't bother you. And if your plan is seven adults plus a full week of luggage at once, skip the QX60 in either generation and book a full-size SUV. For most families, though, the older QX60 is the smart-money seven-seater, and we can have it at your door in one to two hours.
