Infiniti QX60 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior design closely follows the bold look established by the Infiniti Monograph concept vehicle. The resulting QX60 features a more substantial and commanding presence than its predecessor, characterized by a prominent grille, sharper lighting signatures, and a generally more muscular stance. Measuring 5033 mm in length and 1981 mm in width (excluding mirrors), the SUV maintains a large footprint that translates directly to interior volume, while the updated styling language brings it in line with the brand's modern aesthetic.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the QX60 features standard three-row seating for seven. The front row incorporates 'Zero Gravity' seats designed to reduce fatigue on longer journeys, while the second and third rows have been optimized for better passenger comfort. The dashboard layout is centered around an updated Infiniti InTouch infotainment system featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen, even on base models. Higher trims replace traditional analog gauges with a fully digital instrument cluster, and a 10.8-inch head-up display is also available as an option to keep critical information in the driver's line of sight.
Performance
Power comes from a familiar naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine (VQ35DD), producing 295 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 366 Nm of torque at 4800 rpm. The most notable mechanical change is the introduction of a classic 9-speed automatic transmission, replacing the older CVT. The available all-wheel-drive system has been re-engineered; utilizing an array of sensors, it can preemptively route up to 50% of engine torque to the rear axle to prevent front-wheel slip before it occurs. This generation also introduces an electronic limited-slip differential function for the rear wheels.
Practicality
As a large midsize crossover, the QX60 is heavily focused on family hauling and everyday utility. The 2900 mm wheelbase provides the foundation for a spacious cabin with three usable rows. Behind the third row, the vehicle offers 411 liters of cargo capacity, which can be significantly expanded by folding the rear seats. The updated seating mechanisms and improved cabin materials aim to make the vehicle highly functional for road trips and daily errands alike.
Safety and tech
The QX60 comes equipped with a modernized suite of active safety technologies. The available ProPILOT Assist system now includes lane-centering capabilities to help ease highway driving. Additional safety features include adaptive headlights, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, and an automatic reverse braking system designed to prevent low-speed parking impacts.
Buyer notes
Buyers looking at the second-generation QX60 will want to compare the standard 12.3-inch screen setup against the optional digital gauge cluster and head-up display found on higher grades. The shift to a 9-speed automatic transmission makes this generation notably different to drive than older models. Keep in mind that exact feature availability, such as specific ProPILOT functions and the digital displays, will vary depending on the chosen trim level and local market offerings.
