Happy Friday everyone! We’d like to once again thanks Keeps for sponsoring this video, please be sure to head to keeps.com/redline to save up to 50% on your first order. The new Infiniti QX60 is such a massive step in the right direction for such a lost brand, but Infiniti needs to hurry and offer an electrified and turbo powertrain option if they don’t want to fall behind again.
FYI the touch screen can take up the entire display ONLY if you’re in the the Apple car play mode. If you’re just in the standard Infiniti application you can push the arrow that’s on the map screen and audio screen and it will take up the entire infotainment screen.
Well, given the Infiniti brands "receding" sales, I don't see them coming a"head" of the competition coming out of Asia. They are more than a "hairs" length in "receding" growth especially with their "thinly grown" lineup. You may think that's a "bald" statement, but If you want to see "hairy regrowth", you should look at Toyotas growing line of thirsty hybrid SUVs with lengthy MPGs!
I agree. Hopefully they're a lot smarter with their money this time around. I'm loyal to the company, but they've been disgraceful the last 3-4 years. They've literally slapped their loyalists in the face with how stupid they've been with their lineup. I love my 2009 FX35, I'm hoping they get back to their sporty roots.
They already are in the process of doing that just like Nissan. The QX80 got a new interior and infotainment & the Q50 & Q60 will be discontinued soon. The QX50 & QX55 have updates on the way in the next year.
@@mfaKyoko_forever That's a good thing as that is one of their best selling SUVs. Now they've got to figure out their position in the market. Are they trying to go back to their sporty roots? Or are they trying to go towards plush like Lexus? What are they trying to achieve with their new image? Time will tell, it might be wise for them to come out with a vision statement so current owners know what to look forward to. I hope they go back to sporty. But I definitely understand if they start going to the more plush side of the market as it seems to sell better. When they got rid of the original names (G, FX, and the original QX), they seemed to have started losing their sense of self and direction. Add in the fact that it took them so long to redesign anything, it wasn't a good look for the company. Praying for a new FX/QX70. Even a new G to replace the Q name for the sedan. Hopefully they don't mess up their second chance at life. Customers like myself will have to walk away to a more established brand like Lexus if they can't figure their direction out. Love my Infiniti, fantastic power and cornering with reliability that matches my husband's RX350. I wish there was a 3rd generation FX I could jump into! 😭
Couple of things… 1. Infiniti does offer remote start and controls via an app. 2. The gauge screen can show a map, but a nav destination has to be set and in progress. 3. On the center screen, only the map can take up the whole screen… but you have to press the MAP button with the arrows underneath it on the left hand side. 4. The rear center console was designed to fit in the underfloor storage compartment in the cargo area. 5. The 3.0L V6TT is only compatible with RWD platforms. Otherwise I’m sure they would have used it here. 6. No impressions on the ride and handling? 7. The rear of the body of the QX60 is actually narrower than the Pathy, which is why they couldn’t squeeze the extra seat back there. The roofline is actually lower as well. On that note, I think they will offer some kind of upgrade power train at some point, most likely electrified. Also, although I think the interior is stunning and has a decent feature set… I can see where Infiniti has left some room to play above the Autograph model. I look forward to how they build off of this very solid base.

Great video as always! Here are a few helpful addendums: You can expand the map to the full width of the 12" center display. Another neat feature is you can expand your speedo/tach out to the sides (as you showed) and bring up a 3D looking navigation map between them. The reason the camera view was 'stuck' is because you toggled the camera mode. You press the camera button a few more times it cycles through the available views before exiting. That really helps when parking/maneuvering and you want a certain view locked in. Keep in mind while in the 3rd row, the 2nd row seat can slide forward several inches. I had a 6' tall friend sit in the 2nd row while I sat in the 3rd and we both had plenty of room once adjusting that 2nd row seat. We loved test driving the vehicle and have it on the short list for our next purchase.
He usually does, at least he usually says when it’s not a comfortable ride or a lot of road/tire noise etc. I take it when he doesn’t complain or mention it that it’s pretty good.
Seen it in person when I was getting maintenance done at the dealer. Very big improvement! Might not be class leading but it’s a step in the right direction🔥
For me, the trim to get is the sensory AWD, 62k, has everything I want. I wasn't super impressed with the gv80 although I'll probably test drive one. This is the most exciting 3 row in the segment vs the MDX (bad infotainment), Grand Cherokee L (gets super expensive and seems sluggish), RXL (old and not much trunk space) and gv80 (surprisingly expensive).
@@babybluepig 3 of my family members all got cars in the same era 2010 M35x, G37xS, and a 2009 Murano LE all were absolute bulletproof. We still have the M
The wife and I also had Nissan's 15 years ago - '03 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE (hers) and '05 G35 sedan (mine - stolen/stripped 4 months after I got it, replaced it with my '05 Acura TL which I still have)... Loved those things. Traded her Altima for a '08 Murano when she got pregnant with our 3rd kid, went through two CVT transmissions before it hit 120k miles, once under warranty! Limped it to the dealership in 2016 when the 2nd trans acted up and traded it for a Lincoln MKX which we still have. Haven't looked at Nissan the same since.
Agreed! The name changes were the single dumbest thing Infiniti did. Built their 20 year heritage with iconic names and threw them in the trash! Who's idea was this? Corporate suicide. Even to this day I can't remember the new naming and confusing strategy. I really hope one day the old names come back.
I LOVE the looks of this thing. I'm juts worried if Infiniti can hold up considering how low their volume of vehicles are. Hope this will signify a new beginning
I think they can, but only for a few years. They need to remake the small lineup they have, like redesign the q50 and qx50 and qx80. And they should add flagships back, like the q70 and make a flagship out of the qx70
They only have about 3,500 new vehicles available across the country. Less than 200 QX60s and over 10,000 were pre-ordered. This will also bring folks in for the QX50 & QX55 to get many residual sales if they don't need so much space.
Loved everything about this review! I’ve owned 3 Infiniti’s and looking to upgrade from a sedan to SUV. We have been eyeing this one for a while as we haven’t liked any other SUVs or any Infiniti has offered in the past. It has been tough to find this car and there’s a major shortage & waitlist for it. This vehicle is absolutely stunning!
If this is what Infiniti has in store, I’m excited to see what’s next. Considering most Infiniti vehicles are built off the same platforms as their sister brand, Nissan, I’m sure Infiniti has an electrified SUV coming considering Nissan has the new Ariya EV.
This and the Genesis GV80 are the 2 best looking. ( THATS MY OPINION ) & if they would put a Variation of the 3.0T V6 from the RedSport hmm. Also the Middle panel in the back that you removed can go in the cargo box in the trunk. Ive seen it on other reviews that people took it out and it fits back in there.
I read elsewhere the reason for the narrow third row was because the qx80 has a more pinched waistline than the pathfinder which ate into rear interior space.
Wow!!!!!! That's One Clean & Beautiful Looking SUV From Infiniti. Also I'm Totally Love The Exterior & The Interior, But I Love The Design As Well, Great Review Sofyan.
Love the styling inside and out .... EXCEPT for the hideous fake chrome exhaust tips. Car could use more power, however ... 400hp twin turbo V6 would be fabulous.
@@YEMX89 wrap the fake exhaust in black and don’t be like Acura which is a separate company. You’re not gonna sell many cars if you copy the competition
Can't really be too picky with this car. Its more of a luxury SUV over a performance SUV. 6.3 seconds 0-60 in a big ass tank is insanely good considering its a NA V6. Infiniti has always done amazing with exterior styling. Glad to see their interior styling is picking up.
I really like it. While Infiniti has been known for their lack of tech, they have always provided a great handling experience and great sounding engines. Hope this vehicle is their foundation from which they stage their comeback. Great vehicle. With all the competition in this segment I think it comes down to quality materials and dealership experience. I also love the new Genesis vehicles but they seem to suffer in both those areas
This was amazing, one of the best looking 7 passenger luxury crossovers offered today hands down, Infiniti Killed it. Sexy, spacious, and efficient. But the only thing killing is that exhaust system.
At one point to I had to pause and check the title to make sure that I click on Nissan Pathfinder 2022. He mentioned Pathfinder so much more than QX60, you would have thought that was the subject being reviewed.
I generally like big cars but I had a prior gen as a loaner many years ago and I hated it. The cvt and the weak engine made the car noisy and ponderous. Road noise was loud and the ride wasn’t particularly great. I was so surprised bc I see so many of these cars in my neighborhood that I had very high expectations. This new gen seems much improved, but based on my prior experience and as a previous owner of a q50, I don’t think I’ll ever get another Infiniti. They’re very cheaply made and not worth the premium. I only got the q50 bc of the incredible lease deal.
@@Wasabi9111 Interesting that you found it noisy. I test drove a couple of qx60's and MDX's back to back and found the MDX noisier, less comfortable, and unusable 3rd row. Mdx definitely had better acceleration and handling.
@@Wasabi9111 Yea bro youre talking about the prior gen so what would it have to do with this brand new vehicle? Just because they share a badge? Apples and oranges my friend
I must say I’m very impressed, well done Infiniti👏🏻 Oh and by the way, you can enlarge the embedded map by touching the map button with the two outward facing arrows on the left of the screen. Great review as always, Sofyana!
Yeah, for the ride, handling and interior room there's no comparison with the MDX. Plus the MDX can rise up to 9" with the air suspension which is a big deal as I live in ski country.
I still prefer real exhaust and real climate control buttons on the MDX over fake exhause and fake buttons in the QX60. If a button breaks in the MDX, the other buttons will remain fine and you only fix that one button. But if the capacitive panel in the QX60 breaks, then it's the whole panel that cannot be used until it gets fixed. IMO, the best recent Infiniti interior is the 2022 QX80 refresh
Which competitor offers "better 3rd row seating'?. have you tried using the X5/Q7/GV80/MDX/RX450 rear seats?? They are practically unusable.. the only decent 3rd row is Palisade/Telluride.
I sat in all 3 rows in the Palisade I bought, to see if the reviews were correct. That is one reason why I got it. Plus no Tellurides to buy, since they were sold out, before hitting the dealer lots. Palisade is its sister, just more modern looking, with a few more buttons. So I got the Palisade.
Your comments about the vehicle was very honest and I'm thinking of buying one it looks good I know it's good it's not perfect but it's good thank you so much
Infiniti is back baby!! This is really impressive.... This is sort of the non sporty MDX, which is a awesome thing! But it's look... Is better than the MDX... Inside an out... And the screen is touch screen! Massaging seats, everything I would want! And the price.. Mmm very good
Not really reasonably priced considering 90% of this thing is the same as the Pathfinder. The engine is anything but luxurious. Super underpowered for the price. Interior is decent, but still just a Pathfinder in disguise.
It’s actually not more spacious than the MDX, this has 14.5 cubic feet with the third row up and the MDX has 18 cubic feet of space with the third row up. With the third row folded down, the MDX is at 95 cubic feet while the QX60 is at 75.4 cubic feet.
@@AFCompany I agree. This and the Cadillac XT6 are fighting for the bottom, although I might give the XT6 the nod for last place overall. The Genesis or Lincoln Aviator would be my top choices in this segment (sub-$60k 3-row luxury), Infiniti wouldn't even be on the radar.
@@AFCompany The curves and style will sell themselves The MDX is truly ugly and pedestrian looking The curves on this put it on par with the Aviator and GV80...not the hideous MDX Curves sell...why do you think Maserati is still in business?
@@joecool9739 if you think the QX60 has good curves and the MDX looks hideous than idk what to tell you. One of them actually looks like a luxury car and the other looks identical to a pathfinder. There is a reason the MDX more than doubles the number of sales of the QX60 and always has. If you like it though than that’s fine. However it is factually not the same level of quality or appeal as the MDX.
@@AFCompany The MDX outsells alot of things...including Rolls Royce, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Lincoln, Porsche and Bentley I guess the MDX is better than those too? And the new Pathfinder is already luxurious and pretty...so the QX60 being based off of it is a good starting point Nobody looks at the MDX as a "luxury" car either...its just a premium Honda
2nd row captains chairs in these SUV's with, basically, unusable 3rd rows always baffle me. It's like the manufacturers are saying, "Lets minimize 2nd rows, that can possibly be comfortable for 3 people, because I'm sure someone wants to sit in the uncomfortable 3 row with their knees in their chins."
@@MerknilashWell, kids don't stay small forever nor are they the only ones you may haul in your vehicle. Also, people are keeping vehicles a lot longer and kids are always growing. So, if I had 3 kids (teens), I would much rather have a three person 2nd row bench and keep the 3rd row folded for extra storage...
Definitely a step in the right direction. I hope they didn't screw up their reputation by using that CVT for a couple years. No Infiniti should feature that crappy transmission. Now I'm hopeful that I can stick with the brand. Once they redesign everything else, they should really bring back the G, FX, and EX names. Also, imagine if they went back to a rear wheel drive layout? If they really want to get back to their routes, they should go back to their sporty times. Infiniti was the BMW competitor, I hope they can figure out their market calling.
I really dig this car and want one but the prices are just too damn high The two tone color is only available in the top of the line trim which is going to cost you around 70k by the time you walk out the door because of all the sealer addons etc
Nice job Infinity! For ‘23 refresh you should update infotainment to full screen and add ventilated rear seats. You should be right on the money with the competition! 👍🏼
@@ItsChrisWorld Not a refresh but an interior update Lots of cars do this Look at the 2022 Infiniti QX80...this years model has an updated interior with a completely different infotainment setup They dont need to do much actually...all the QX60 is missing is: -22 inch rims -Turbocharged or hybrid engine for more power -More leather on the interior -Ambient lighting -Rear entertainment setup -Soft close doors -3D 360° Camera -Alcantera headliner -Autonomous drive They can literally do this by adding a new top trim and charging 10-15k more The exterior needs nothing...its absolutely gorgeous as it is
@@joecool9739 gotcha… well hell it was time for Infiniti to do something with the QX80 infotainment area. It was the same design for years. They really just need to redesign the entire thing.
Acura and INFINITI. No reason the Palisade and Telluride have ventilated rears for 51 grand, while a 75 grand MDX doesn't (Type S). Hell Cadillac for 115 grand doesn't. 2022 Navigator for the Reserve and Black Label suppose to.
Jeesh, finally got that CVT removed, and the infotainment finally looks up-to-date! I personally think the CVT performs pretty well, but it’s way too loud.
just wanted to add that you can get a full map screen. There is a button on the left side of the main map screen to expand the map screen to full width.
Had GMC and Cadillac for 20+ years. Recently burned by GM Warranty so badly. So for first time - looking imports. I sat inside QX60, QX80 and the smaller one (50?55?)....and holy shit -- it was like sitting in the lobby of a Four Seasons Hotel. I figured it'll be just like I'm used to with GMC and Cadillac ....but wow -- it was - serene. Luxurious. Seriously I wanted to have my lunch delivered right to the car, and I just wanted to eat there. I never knew what I'm missing. I done with GM - --but never thought I'd go import. Infiniti is high on my list right now.
Vast improvement for INFINITI, and I do really like the interior. However, refinement and ride quality wise it is still at the bottom of the segment with the XT6. The X5, MDX, GLE, XC90 and GV80 are still the dominators of the segment.
The XT6 honestly doesn’t compare with this. I’ve sat in them side by side and quality of the Cadillac leaves a lot to be desired and doesn’t feel like premium vehicle. The MDX is comparable to this but doesn’t feel as comfortable or luxurious in the upper trim, the XC90 is getting old and power train is not refined enough for a vehicle in this category in my opinion.
Yeah, but you aren't paying as much money for it as you are for a GLE or an X5. Price is one thing to keep in mind, especially in the days of the pandemic.
Nice review Sofyan !!! Loving ❤ the new style of the Qx60 ,but they better keep up with the new dogs in town Genesis !!! Otherwise they gonna be left in the dust. Infiniti has a lot of catch up to do.
Looks way better than the Acura MDX Interior is very similar to the Aviator and GV80...which means theyre on the right track Needed 22 inch rims though and a more powerful engine for the top trims...hopefully thats on the way
I would rather spend 30-35K and buy a fully loaded 3 row 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV. Use the remaining 30K for Grubhub/Doordash orders so I get delish food delivered to me!
@@braetonwilson4296 Bro...nobody shopping in the luxury segment is gonna settle for a re-skinned Nissan Rogue The Outlander is an *AMAZING* value for its price But I think people looking at luxury cars dont have a budget of 35k max
What is the point of digital rear mirrors? It's just extra cost and your brain can pick up on very slight differences in frame rate that just makes it more tiring and less trustworthy than a regular mirror
So, the new QX60 is better than the new MDX and RX, but it's behind the Genesis GV80. Who would have thought that GV80 would become such a great 3-row luxury crossover. Only issue I have with Genesis - is the price. It's priced quite high..
Beautiful interior but the fact that they only allow you to use half of the screen for Apple CarPlay it’s just so sad being at 90% of people use Apple CarPlay. No maps on the digital dash is sad too.
We can't have dynamic turn signals here in the US because of federal law. If one is installed, there has to be a solid bar signal along with it and it's why manufacturers don't bother with it in the American market. Those chrome enhancements in the rear are a bit much, they could have gone with brushed silver and would have sufficed.

@NC Music Man I believe you press map to bring it up on the screen, and then press map one more time to expand full width if I remember correctly.
Wow, FINALLY Infiniti has something compelling and competitive. Good overall package.
With luxury cars and especially SUV’s you should focus a lot more on cabin noise and ride quality/comfort.. maybe get a decibel measuring device?
He usually does, at least he usually says when it’s not a comfortable ride or a lot of road/tire noise etc. I take it when he doesn’t complain or mention it that it’s pretty good.
It’s called a sound level meter :-) calling it a dB measuring device would be like calling a ruler an inch measuring device :-) dB are the units.

From exterior to interior this SUV is 😍😍😍
🎉NO CVT🎉 that alone for me is a selling point for both the Nissan and Infiniti and this is a really nice suv home run for Infiniti

I think they can, but only for a few years. They need to remake the small lineup they have, like redesign the q50 and qx50 and qx80. And they should add flagships back, like the q70 and make a flagship out of the qx70
They need to make a full EV, bring back and old name plate or something to get attention to the brand again
Well these are selling out everywhere but that’s more due to shortages

Love the styling inside and out .... EXCEPT for the hideous fake chrome exhaust tips. Car could use more power, however ... 400hp twin turbo V6 would be fabulous.
And more money, get the fake exhaust wrapped black
Drop the Red Sport engine in. Delete the fake chrome add real quads ala Acura MDX Type S and BAM! I'm sold!!!!!!!
@@YEMX89 wrap the fake exhaust in black and don’t be like Acura which is a separate company. You’re not gonna sell many cars if you copy the competition
@@XX-166 yes wrap in black or plasti dip mat black will work too
@@arabinsanity2438 absolutely, you can wrap that area to make it look like exhaust tips.
Can't really be too picky with this car. Its more of a luxury SUV over a performance SUV. 6.3 seconds 0-60 in a big ass tank is insanely good considering its a NA V6. Infiniti has always done amazing with exterior styling. Glad to see their interior styling is picking up.
It would be nice to see a q50 and q60 with the o speed auto, better steering and a redesigned interior.
They killed the q50/q60, you will never see a new interior.
@@rizocars6115 they're being discontinued?
@@Okenpo yes

I really like it. While Infiniti has been known for their lack of tech, they have always provided a great handling experience and great sounding engines. Hope this vehicle is their foundation from which they stage their comeback. Great vehicle. With all the competition in this segment I think it comes down to quality materials and dealership experience.
I also love the new Genesis vehicles but they seem to suffer in both those areas
This was amazing, one of the best looking 7 passenger luxury crossovers offered today hands down, Infiniti Killed it. Sexy, spacious, and efficient. But the only thing killing is that exhaust system.
At one point to I had to pause and check the title to make sure that I click on Nissan Pathfinder 2022. He mentioned Pathfinder so much more than QX60, you would have thought that was the subject being reviewed.
if you would’ve pressed the map extend button you could have the map full screen. your finger was literally right next to it.. 13:17
Also, the map will appear on the gauge cluster when a destination is set on the factory navigation
Although it’s a major upgrade from the previous generation i still wouldn’t pick it over the competitor’s
I generally like big cars but I had a prior gen as a loaner many years ago and I hated it. The cvt and the weak engine made the car noisy and ponderous. Road noise was loud and the ride wasn’t particularly great. I was so surprised bc I see so many of these cars in my neighborhood that I had very high expectations. This new gen seems much improved, but based on my prior experience and as a previous owner of a q50, I don’t think I’ll ever get another Infiniti. They’re very cheaply made and not worth the premium. I only got the q50 bc of the incredible lease deal.
Agreed. To much competition in the three row segment... Genesis, Lincoln, etc.
@@Wasabi9111 Interesting that you found it noisy. I test drove a couple of qx60's and MDX's back to back and found the MDX noisier, less comfortable, and unusable 3rd row. Mdx definitely had better acceleration and handling.
@@Wasabi9111 currently own a 2018 infiniti and will never buy another infiniti again. cant wait to get rid of it
@@Wasabi9111
Yea bro youre talking about the prior gen so what would it have to do with this brand new vehicle?
Just because they share a badge?
Apples and oranges my friend
We own this vehicle and it is absolutely fabulous. No complaints over here.
I must say I’m very impressed, well done Infiniti👏🏻 Oh and by the way, you can enlarge the embedded map by touching the map button with the two outward facing arrows on the left of the screen. Great review as always, Sofyana!
Can't go wrong with buying this, but I still would pick the MDX!!!!
1000% the MDX
Hell no
Yeah, for the ride, handling and interior room there's no comparison with the MDX. Plus the MDX can rise up to 9" with the air suspension which is a big deal as I live in ski country.
Infiniti does offer automatic start through the app! I use mine all the time, and I have 2017.
Man I love the interior and the drive quality very smooth
I still prefer real exhaust and real climate control buttons on the MDX over fake exhause and fake buttons in the QX60. If a button breaks in the MDX, the other buttons will remain fine and you only fix that one button. But if the capacitive panel in the QX60 breaks, then it's the whole panel that cannot be used until it gets fixed. IMO, the best recent Infiniti interior is the 2022 QX80 refresh
Back to their true roots!
Strongly considering this..good work infinity
You can expand the GPS map.. There is a button on the lower left of the map screen to expand the map
Looks great. I hope this car is the beginning of a turn for the better for Infiniti.
Which competitor offers "better 3rd row seating'?. have you tried using the X5/Q7/GV80/MDX/RX450 rear seats?? They are practically unusable.. the only decent 3rd row is Palisade/Telluride.
I sat in all 3 rows in the Palisade I bought, to see if the reviews were correct. That is one reason why I got it. Plus no Tellurides to buy, since they were sold out, before hitting the dealer lots. Palisade is its sister, just more modern looking, with a few more buttons. So I got the Palisade.
The decent 3rd row can be find in Subrau accents.
I just got one. It does get noticed, gets compliments and is very roomy for the size. It is thirsty though.
I thought the factory GPS map can be displayed on drivers instrument cluster and the map can be expanded with map button.
it can he just doesn't know about it
Sofyan has to be the only person on Earth who has complained that a bottom door light isn’t LED.
You don't hand to leave the center console in the garage. In the trunk, the storage compartment has a specific space to place it in.
"No fog lights! I'm surprised to see there's no fog lights!"
Is equivalent to:
"No CD-ROM deck, I'm surprised to see there's no place for CD-ROMs!"
You not going to see that in any brand anymore
Copy your CD to the computer. Then download to a USB device. Bingo.
13:20 mark, you can get a full screen by hitting the map button in the center console or expand icon on the screen.
This intro was everything. You ate that Sofiyan!❤️🔥
Your comments about the vehicle was very honest and I'm thinking of buying one it looks good I know it's good it's not perfect but it's good thank you so much
Loved this interior wish the q60 coupe looked as nice inside
It’s gorgeous.
Infiniti is back baby!!
This is really impressive.... This is sort of the non sporty MDX, which is a awesome thing!
But it's look... Is better than the MDX... Inside an out... And the screen is touch screen!
Massaging seats, everything I would want! And the price.. Mmm very good
You are easily impressed. You can get more bang for your buck elsewhere.
Finally you interview the infinity 2X60 thank you so much I'm a big fan of you guys special red line reviews so fan
Really nice! And reasonably priced. Def more spacious than the MDX. It's a Pathfinder in lipstick, but there's nothing really wrong with that.
Looks way better inside and out though
Looks more distinguished than the boring MDX
Not really reasonably priced considering 90% of this thing is the same as the Pathfinder. The engine is anything but luxurious. Super underpowered for the price. Interior is decent, but still just a Pathfinder in disguise.
It may not have the power but the interior blows the MDX out of the water.
@@davis6123 yep. If you need a people mover get this over MDX.
It’s actually not more spacious than the MDX, this has 14.5 cubic feet with the third row up and the MDX has 18 cubic feet of space with the third row up. With the third row folded down, the MDX is at 95 cubic feet while the QX60 is at 75.4 cubic feet.
So glad Infiniti is trying again
I’m glad they got rid of the CVT!!
Just here to see how solid the door closes
Finally First 💪🏾💙 love you videos man!
Looks nice & luxurious
Interior is super impressive. This will be very competitive with the MDX, RX-L, Enclave, Aviator, XT6, and GV80.
No it won’t and it cost way too much. This is at the bottom of the segment with the XT6.
@@AFCompany I agree. This and the Cadillac XT6 are fighting for the bottom, although I might give the XT6 the nod for last place overall. The Genesis or Lincoln Aviator would be my top choices in this segment (sub-$60k 3-row luxury), Infiniti wouldn't even be on the radar.
@@AFCompany
The curves and style will sell themselves
The MDX is truly ugly and pedestrian looking
The curves on this put it on par with the Aviator and GV80...not the hideous MDX
Curves sell...why do you think Maserati is still in business?
@@joecool9739 if you think the QX60 has good curves and the MDX looks hideous than idk what to tell you. One of them actually looks like a luxury car and the other looks identical to a pathfinder. There is a reason the MDX more than doubles the number of sales of the QX60 and always has. If you like it though than that’s fine. However it is factually not the same level of quality or appeal as the MDX.
@@AFCompany
The MDX outsells alot of things...including Rolls Royce, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Lincoln, Porsche and Bentley
I guess the MDX is better than those too?
And the new Pathfinder is already luxurious and pretty...so the QX60 being based off of it is a good starting point
Nobody looks at the MDX as a "luxury" car either...its just a premium Honda
Infiniti needs to work on their full size sedan 💯💯
2nd row captains chairs in these SUV's with, basically, unusable 3rd rows always baffle me. It's like the manufacturers are saying, "Lets minimize 2nd rows, that can possibly be comfortable for 3 people, because I'm sure someone wants to sit in the uncomfortable 3 row with their knees in their chins."
It’s for kids or storage
@@MerknilashWell, kids don't stay small forever nor are they the only ones you may haul in your vehicle. Also, people are keeping vehicles a lot longer and kids are always growing. So, if I had 3 kids (teens), I would much rather have a three person 2nd row bench and keep the 3rd row folded for extra storage...
I love the sound of a naturally aspirated v6 engine
Pathfinder is more rugged looking where the Infiniti is more sleek which is fitting for each.
Both my current cars have V6 engines and I prefer that over a turbo, I want my next car to be a V6 hybrid no turbos
Definitely a step in the right direction. I hope they didn't screw up their reputation by using that CVT for a couple years. No Infiniti should feature that crappy transmission. Now I'm hopeful that I can stick with the brand. Once they redesign everything else, they should really bring back the G, FX, and EX names. Also, imagine if they went back to a rear wheel drive layout? If they really want to get back to their routes, they should go back to their sporty times. Infiniti was the BMW competitor, I hope they can figure out their market calling.
You cant forget the m as well qx60 should be jx qx80 qx
I really dig this car and want one but the prices are just too damn high
The two tone color is only available in the top of the line trim which is going to cost you around 70k by the time you walk out the door because of all the sealer addons etc
I mean if you knock them off you can probably get it closer to MSRP
Nice job Infinity! For ‘23 refresh you should update infotainment to full screen and add ventilated rear seats. You should be right on the money with the competition! 👍🏼
A refresh in 2023 won’t happen. That’s too early
@@ItsChrisWorld
Not a refresh but an interior update
Lots of cars do this
Look at the 2022 Infiniti QX80...this years model has an updated interior with a completely different infotainment setup
They dont need to do much actually...all the QX60 is missing is:
-22 inch rims
-Turbocharged or hybrid engine for more power
-More leather on the interior
-Ambient lighting
-Rear entertainment setup
-Soft close doors
-3D 360° Camera
-Alcantera headliner
-Autonomous drive
They can literally do this by adding a new top trim and charging 10-15k more
The exterior needs nothing...its absolutely gorgeous as it is
@@joecool9739 gotcha… well hell it was time for Infiniti to do something with the QX80 infotainment area. It was the same design for years. They really just need to redesign the entire thing.
Acura and INFINITI. No reason the Palisade and Telluride have ventilated rears for 51 grand, while a 75 grand MDX doesn't (Type S). Hell Cadillac for 115 grand doesn't. 2022 Navigator for the Reserve and Black Label suppose to.
@@joecool9739 This QX60 already has ambient lighting & a 360° camera system
Jeesh, finally got that CVT removed, and the infotainment finally looks up-to-date! I personally think the CVT performs pretty well, but it’s way too loud.
People just can't be original to save their lives. Autograph vs Autobiography
I am 5.9 and can sit in all three rows comfortably... That is why the seats slide folks!
What A Great Review Of A New Infiniti QX60!
just wanted to add that you can get a full map screen. There is a button on the left side of the main map screen to expand the map screen to full width.
👍🏽 solid work. I’d like to see a mild hybrid in this ride.
I love this QX60 Sofyan
Finally Infiniti got this right. Just add a new engine option from the Z would be awesome. Needs 400 hp
Had GMC and Cadillac for 20+ years. Recently burned by GM Warranty so badly. So for first time - looking imports. I sat inside QX60, QX80 and the smaller one (50?55?)....and holy shit -- it was like sitting in the lobby of a Four Seasons Hotel. I figured it'll be just like I'm used to with GMC and Cadillac ....but wow -- it was - serene. Luxurious. Seriously I wanted to have my lunch delivered right to the car, and I just wanted to eat there. I never knew what I'm missing. I done with GM - --but never thought I'd go import. Infiniti is high on my list right now.
Vast improvement for INFINITI, and I do really like the interior. However, refinement and ride quality wise it is still at the bottom of the segment with the XT6. The X5, MDX, GLE, XC90 and GV80 are still the dominators of the segment.
Yeah I just saw a GV80 today in black & Hyundai did a great job that truck looked really nice
The MDX isnt even up there with the X5 or GLE though 😂
The XT6 honestly doesn’t compare with this. I’ve sat in them side by side and quality of the Cadillac leaves a lot to be desired and doesn’t feel like premium vehicle. The MDX is comparable to this but doesn’t feel as comfortable or luxurious in the upper trim, the XC90 is getting old and power train is not refined enough for a vehicle in this category in my opinion.
Yeah, but you aren't paying as much money for it as you are for a GLE or an X5. Price is one thing to keep in mind, especially in the days of the pandemic.
@@colinwillis3392 Very true
Finally they got that wright.looks sick
Infiniti needs to bring a full EV or bring back an old name plate to bring attention to the brand again!
This color is 🔥.
The map will go full-screen, you have to click a certain option. I did it on a test drive.
Nice review Sofyan !!! Loving ❤ the new style of the Qx60 ,but they better keep up with the new dogs in town Genesis !!! Otherwise they gonna be left in the dust. Infiniti has a lot of catch up to do.
I love this design so much I’m thinking about getting one!
About time Infiniti..
I agree they need to allow you to use full screen apple CarPlay. Ridiculous that your forced to that 2/3 screen.
Wow I have a G37s, but I'm liking this. It's a shame they didn't put the 3.7 in it or the 3.0. I seen 3.7 modified up to about 350 whp
Looks way better than the Acura MDX
Interior is very similar to the Aviator and GV80...which means theyre on the right track
Needed 22 inch rims though and a more powerful engine for the top trims...hopefully thats on the way
I would rather spend 30-35K and buy a fully loaded 3 row 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV. Use the remaining 30K for Grubhub/Doordash orders so I get delish food delivered to me!
@@braetonwilson4296
Bro...nobody shopping in the luxury segment is gonna settle for a re-skinned Nissan Rogue
The Outlander is an *AMAZING* value for its price
But I think people looking at luxury cars dont have a budget of 35k max
disagree. MDX interior looks much better. No comparison on the power and interior room either.
19:06 mark, the rear center removable console is designed to be stored in the trunk storage compartment. 7:25 mark
Great job on the review, infiniti should really update the infotainment software so we can get full screen CarPlay.
‘22 MDX for me, anytime anyday! but its nice to have choices😊
Beauitful 💯💯
I can’t wait to get this in 6 years for $20k
Yeppp
What is the point of digital rear mirrors? It's just extra cost and your brain can pick up on very slight differences in frame rate that just makes it more tiring and less trustworthy than a regular mirror
So, the new QX60 is better than the new MDX and RX, but it's behind the Genesis GV80. Who would have thought that GV80 would become such a great 3-row luxury crossover. Only issue I have with Genesis - is the price. It's priced quite high..
No it’s behind the MDX and gv80 but way ahead of the RX
Beautiful interior but the fact that they only allow you to use half of the screen for Apple CarPlay it’s just so sad being at 90% of people use Apple CarPlay. No maps on the digital dash is sad too.
Do you know if they are redesigning the QX80 this year?
GPS map on instrument cluster is a feature you should be able to turn on in settings, I have a Platinum Rogue that does have the feature
Which rides better the 22 Highlander or this ?
Is the horn at least louder than the Pathfinder?
We can't have dynamic turn signals here in the US because of federal law. If one is installed, there has to be a solid bar signal along with it and it's why manufacturers don't bother with it in the American market. Those chrome enhancements in the rear are a bit much, they could have gone with brushed silver and would have sufficed.
