This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Infiniti QX60 mid-size, three-row luxury SUV. The QX60 is a big seller for Infiniti, which makes this new 7-passenger SUVan important model in their lineup. Gone is the CVT, Infiniti has moved to a 9-speed automatic transmission with improved torque delivery and response, it shifts quickly and smoothly. The 3.5L V6 engine with 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque is carried over from the previous model. Standard AWD in Canada but both FWD and AWD options on all four trims in the US.This Infiniti has improved fuel economy, an upgraded suspension and steering, a quieter cabin, a more comfortable drive, less body roll and standard towing capacity of 3500 pounds. The top two trims can tow 6,000 pounds, which is enough to tow a 22-foot Airstream.The QX60 has a bold front bumper, black grille, unique digital piano key LED headlights and is the first Infiniti to offer two-tone styling with an available all-black roof. The rear features an all-new wrap around glass treatment creating a clean and simplistic design. Our test model is the Sensory trim, one below the top trim. It comes with 20” alloy wheels, LED headlights and taillights, chrome accents, silver roof rails, a motion activated liftgate and a panoramic sunroof. The QX60 offers an inviting and warm cabin with a saddle brown leather interior and a black open pore ash wood trim in our test model. Infiniti says, every detail of the QX60’s interior was well thought out including, the placement of its controls to make it a user-friendly experience. Infiniti embarked on a global two-year study to find the most pleasing materials at touch points and brought those surfaces and textures into this SUV. The zero gravity seats with an available massage feature in the front row are comfortable and plush for long trips and the second row has a standard bench seat, available captain’s chairs. The QX60 offers more passenger space now, the hip to heel room has increased with an extra 1.5” in the second row and almost half an inch in the third for a more natural seating position. Getting into the 3rd row is easy with a one touch second row and you don't have to remove your car seat, the seat pitches and slides forward. There’s 14.5 cubic feet of space behind the 3rd row and you also get 1.91 cubic feet of under floor storage. The QX60 comes with a redesigned infotainment system with a 12.3” touchscreen. The display can also be controlled at the centre console. The base trim offers plenty of standard features if you don’t want to make the stretch to the higher trims including, a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, leather seats, driver seat memory, power driver and passenger seats, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, wireless Apple Carplay and wired Android Auto. One up from the base model is the Luxe my “best value” trim, it gets you the 12.3” digital driver display, ProPilot Assist with Navigation and 20” wheels. In the US, you also get ventilated front seas on this trim. The top two trims come with head up display, motion activated liftgate, heated second row seats, ventilated front seats (Canada), a wireless charger and Bose sound system. The top trim has captain’s chairs with a removable centre console and perforated quilted seats with contrast stitching.
