A Look at the Key Features of the Infiniti QX60
The mid-size three-row Infiniti QX60 aims to attract buyers looking for premium SUVs. The QX60’s style indicates a minor deviation from Infiniti’s present design language. Compared to the previous generation, the interior of this SUV has undergone significant changes. Infiniti now offers more luxury and convenience and better exterior styling. You get a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 295 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Here are other features you should know:
Performance and fuel economy
The 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 295 horsepower that propelled the first-generation of Infiniti QX60 is available in the car, however, the CVT has been replaced with a nine-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the standard FWD drivetrain or the optional AWD system. The QX60, according to Infiniti, can now tow up to 6,000 pounds. The EPA has given the SUV ratings of 21 mpg on city roads and 26 mpg on highways for front-wheel-drive models. The all-wheel-drive models earn 1 mpg less than the FWD variants.
Interior and comfort
The cabin has undergone a significant revamp, but it still features a three-row interior arrangement with room for up to seven passengers. The high-end trim Autograph has second-row captain’s chairs, which lowers the number of passengers to six. The Infiniti QX60 also comes with premium materials utilized in the cabin and sound-deadening measures to provide more seclusion from the outside world. Drivers get good visibility as the dashboard does not obstruct the view. Infiniti also offers conveniences like a massage feature, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats as options. Infiniti Zero Gravity seats are perfect for long rides. Both of the front seats are eight-way power adjustable and heated. Additionally, higher trim levels can come with a three-zone system and an air purifier. However, dual-zone automatic climate control is standard for all trims.
Cargo space
The Infiniti QX60’s body is shorter and wider than the previous generation’s, although it shares the same wheelbase as the outgoing model. With the two back rows of seats folded, the car allows for enhanced interior cargo capacity but less space when the seats are upright and behind the third row. So, you get 14.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. With the rear seats folded down, you can expect about 41.6 cubic feet of space. At its maximum, the QX60 can offer 75.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats with both rear rows folded.
Safety
Automatic emergency braking is available for all trim levels. Additionally, traffic sign recognition and adaptive headlights are two active safety technologies you can find in the car. However, adaptive cruise control is an optional feature. You can also get blind spot intervention and around view monitor with moving object detection for enhanced visibility. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has awarded the Infiniti QX60 a rating of “Good” to the car for most crash tests.
Technology and connectivity
The Infiniti QX60 is equipped with high-end standard technology. Some of the advanced features you can expect are a motorized liftgate, LED headlights, power-adjustable front seats with eight positions, and a one-touch second-row folding mechanism. All QX60 cars come with a 12.3-inch high-definition infotainment touchscreen, a capacitive climate control panel with haptic feedback, and a three-zone climate control system with vents for the second and third rows. You also get a wireless charging pad, a 10.8-inch head-up display, and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster display in the SUV. Some other features are a 17-speaker Bose sound system, heated second-row seats, massage-function front-row seats, and up to seven USB ports with optional charging in every row. Further, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are standard features in the SUV.
