The second generation of this SUV debuts with the all-new 2022 Infiniti QX60 following a break for the 2021 model year. Although the car has undergone a complete redesign, the previous version’s 3.5-litre, 295-horsepower V6 is still there. With this engine, the outdated continuously variable transmission has been swapped out for a nine-speed automatic transmission that is far more responsive. The QX60’s new, top-of-the-line Autograph trim significantly improves on the sumptuous experience. The QX60 will face stiff competition from SUVs like the BMW X5, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercedes-Benz GLE class.
Infiniti QX60 Exterior
The exterior’s sleek and beautiful appearance makes the QX60 appear advanced and competitive in the market. Although not extravagant, it appears upscale. Rather than trying to impress people while driving a QX60, the emphasis should be on the occupants’ comfort and satisfaction.
Infiniti QX60 Interior
Stepping inside, the 2023 QX60’s cabin has been significantly redesigned, but it still boasts a three-row interior arrangement with seating for up to seven passengers. The top-spec Autograph variant has second-row captain’s chairs, reducing the number of passengers to six. The glammed-up cabin is convincing, with upmarket materials used throughout and additional sound-deadening techniques to create extra solitude from the outside world.
Infiniti also provides options such as ventilated front seats, a massage feature, and heated back seats. The front seats have eight-way motorized adjustments and heating. Additionally, higher trim levels can be ordered with a three-zone system that includes an air purifier, and dual-zone controlled climate control is standard.
Infotainment and Connectivity features
With the 2023 QX60 redesign, Infiniti gratefully removed its antiquated dual-screen infotainment system in favour of a single 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Optional extras include a 10.8-inch head-up display and a 12.3-inch digital gauge display. In addition, all QX60s will include onboard Wi-Fi, and consumers can opt for a 17-speaker Bose premium sound system.
Infiniti QX60 Cargo space
This Infiniti provides enough cargo room within the class of premium midsize SUVs. When the third row is folded, there are 41.6 cubic feet of space, and when the second and third rows are folded, there are 75.4 cubic feet of space. The space behind the third-row seats measures 14.5 cubic feet.
Engine, Power and Transmission
Under the hood, The 295-hp V-6 engine from the 2020 QX60 returns for the 2022 model, but Infiniti has ditched the CVT in favour of a more traditional nine-speed automatic. The new QX60 will continue to be front-wheel drive only, although all-wheel drive will be available as an option. The QX60 can tow up to 6000 pounds, which is 1000 pounds more than the previous 2020 model.
Safety and driver assistance features
The basic safety features include rear automatic braking, cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, and front emergency braking with pedestrian identification. The addition of a driver attention alert, lane departure warning with haptic feedback, and front sonar in all trims except the base one increases the value of upgrading to the Luxe trim level.
2023 Infiniti QX60 Price
The 2023 Infiniti QX60 starts at $49,200. This is for the base Pure trim with front-wheel drive. The Luxe variant, which is more recommended and popular, starts at $55,250. In most cases, all-wheel drive costs an additional $2,000 per vehicle.
