Rent Infiniti QX60 2023 in Dubai

For a Dubai family who want three rows without stepping up to a full-size body-on-frame SUV, the Infiniti QX60 2023 hits a useful spot: a genuinely plush seven-seater that still drives like a car. We deliver it to your door in one to two hours. Our take is that this is the family-week pick when you want the cabin to feel premium and the third row to be usable, not an afterthought. It carries five comfortably, seven when you need to, and swallows a week of family kit on the school-run-and-errands routine that fills most rentals here. Where it asks you to think twice is fuel and footprint, and we'll be straight about both.

Who it suits, and the second row as the sweet spot

The QX60 is a true seven-seater, but the way you'll actually use it matters more than the headline. Two parents plus three kids is the case it nails: three across the middle row, or two adults back there with real legroom once the second row slides back. The second row tilts and slides to open a clear path to the rear, so loading kids into row three isn't a wrestling match. Two kids ride happily in the back for mall trips and school runs. Two adults will manage a short hop but won't thank you on a long run to Hatta. For the common family setup, nobody is negotiating for space, which is the whole point.

Spec at a glance

On the road, and the drivetrain choice

The 3.5-litre V6 makes 295 hp through a nine-speed automatic, with a drive system you can switch between front-wheel and all-wheel drive. On Sheikh Zayed Road a fully loaded car pulls onto the highway and past slower traffic cleanly, with none of the strained drone you get from older SUVs in this class. The AWD setting is worth having on a sandy slip road or a wet ramp after rare rain, but this is a road SUV. For soft desert you'd still want a proper 4x4, so don't book it for the dunes.

Luggage with the family aboard

Here's the honest version. With all seven seats up, the boot takes one large case plus two or three medium bags, no more, which is fine for a day out or a grocery run with the whole crew. The moment you're collecting everyone's luggage from the airport, you fold the third row flat and free up room for three to four suitcases. That means the back two seats and a full set of cases don't really coexist. Plan around it: full family or full boot, rarely both. For a DXB run with five people and their bags, you'll fold one side of the third row and stack smartly.

Fuel and how often you'll fill up

The 72-litre tank is generous for the class. In mixed Dubai driving the V6 returns roughly 9 to 10 litres per 100 km, which works out to something like 720 km on a tank. In practice that's most of a week of school runs and errands between fills, with a comfortable margin for a couple of airport trips. It's a V6, so it drinks more than a four-cylinder crossover, but the range stops you babysitting the gauge.

Heat and parking

Cooling a cabin this size at 45 degrees is real work, and the QX60 is set up for it. The front vents hit hard and there are outlets for the second and third rows, so kids in the back aren't baking while the front stays cold. Give it a couple of minutes after a sun-soaked park and the whole cabin is livable.

At just over five metres long it's a big vehicle to place. The camera system and high seating help in multi-storey bays and on the tighter Marina ramps, but you'll still want to take U-turns and narrow gates with care. The 178 mm of clearance clears speed bumps and mall lips without scraping. One housekeeping note: Salik tolls and any RTA fines during the rental fall to you, and a child seat is required by law for under-fours, which we can fit on request.

Who should rent it

Rent the QX60 2023 if you're a family of five to seven who want a premium three-row SUV that drives like a current car. The roomier cabin, the strong climate system and the smooth nine-speed make it a sensible pick for a Dubai family week, badge included.

Look elsewhere in two cases. If it's only ever two of you and some bags, you're paying to haul empty seats, and a midsize SUV costs less and parks easier. And if your week is built around soft-sand desert driving, this isn't the tool, so book a proper 4x4. For everything a normal family week here throws at it, the QX60 is the comfortable, capable choice.
