Although the Infiniti QX60 has been invisible in recent years, it is of paramount strategic importance. After all, this represents 35% of the total sales of the Japanese manufacturer. Therefore, updating it is fraught with considerable difficulties, and it is extremely important not to make mistakes. Infiniti has announced that 1.5 million hours have been dedicated to this update.
The first mission fell to the design team to modernize the whole thing. From this point of view, the car is successful, its lines are in harmony with the rest of the model range, and the headlights and taillights are more in line with their time. But the most noticeable changes are in the interior. It should be noted that the dashboard of the previous model tried its best to hide its age, whether in terms of design or quality of materials. With a new, more elegant three-spoke steering wheel, a redesigned center console with a smaller gear lever and a less massive dashboard, the QX60 takes a big step towards modernity. Not forgetting the central screen, which is clearly enlarged (12.3 inches diagonally), but above all, with a much more user-friendly interface.
The new QX60 is available in four different versions. The basic Pure model has features popular with consumers, including all-wheel drive, electric and heated seats (with memory for the driver), heated steering wheel, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, panoramic sunroof and leather upholstery.
To take advantage of more advanced driving assistance systems (Nissan ProPilot), a 12.3-inch dashboard facing the driver, and 20-inch wheels, you need to purchase the QX60 Luxe. It is worth noting that these entry-level models have a towing capacity of only 1,500 kilograms.
To take maximum advantage, you will have to spend more and choose a sensor model. Outside, front seats with massage and ventilation, 20-inch wheels, a more advanced audio system with 17 speakers, wireless mobile phone charging, a projection display, a central rear-view mirror with an integrated camera and heated seats in the cabin have been added.
Despite the new steering and redesigned all-wheel drive, the QX60 remains a bit clunky. The front axle lacks traction in tight turns.
On the engine side, a 3.5-liter V6 is offered, developing 295 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque. It is no longer connected to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), but to a conventional 9-speed automatic transmission. A reliable choice for towing and durability. Apart from a few jerks between first and second gear when the engine is cold, the transmission does its job well.
Driving a car, you can swear that it has less horsepower and torque than advertised. Consumption is 9.4 liters /100 km, on the road at a speed of 80 km/h. Considering that Infiniti advertises an average of 9.5 liters/100 km in these conditions, this time it proves the realism of the advertising campaign.
