I was in love with the QX60 and was planning on leasing the Autograph when my 2023 Infiniti QX50 lease was up. Now, with them replacing the engine with the same as what I have now, I’m probably not going to do that. Especially since they kept the prices the same as when they had the V6 in it. So I’ll probably stick with my QX50 for now and eventually look into upgrading to the QX80 in the future.
Infinity making bad choices once again. The 2.0 L is too small but displacement for that big vehicle. They should’ve invested money into a hybrid system with the V6. or redo their 2.5 L four-cylinder and convert that to a turbo system. Also, they could easily make a sport version since infinity used to be the sportier option compared to Lexus. Putting the 3 L twin turbo in the QX 60 would’ve been an amazing sport three row SUV. They often forget that they’re competing against Acura and Lexus, and they always make bad decisions and come up short resulting in poor sales.
68 grand for a bland suv with 4 cylinder with questionable reliability … Acura MDX or the Lexus TX all the way. This brand is dying. Far cry from the hayday in the mid 2000s
In the early 2000s, Nissan implemented their Revival plan and part of it was for Infiniti to set their sights on BMW. That is when they came up with the G35/G37. Although not perfect, the G35 did give the BMW 3 Series a good run for their money. It stole quite a few sales away from the German brand, and it did well for about a decade. Somewhere along the way, Infiniti lost their way and their identity got lost. I suspect Nissan’s introduction of their dreaded CVTs into some Infiniti models had something to do with it… Now, who knows how much longer it will last. It’s a shame because Nissan had a good thing going there for a while. I once owned a 2008 G35 sedan. I loved that car!
I had a 2004 G35. I loved that car. It had catlike reflexes. I crashed it and I cried cuz it was totaled. And OMG do I still miss it. I was 23 when I bought it. A kid driving a fancy Infiniti at the time.
The Bose systems in the Nissans have really lost their punch. Too bad. It’s ok looking outside but it’s not very stylish. The interior is beautiful. I wish everyone would just drop the auto stop/start as it doesn’t save enough gas to pay for the extra starters and batteries you’ll have to buy because the stop/start wears them out way quicker…
Nice interior. I Wouldn't be surprised if this turbo engine is heavier on gas than the v6. I would take a fully loaded Mazda CX90 over this. With almost 100 more horses, fuel economy the same or better, and the interior is nearly as luxurious.
The new key looks so good. That excited me more than the car lmao. I’d be shocked if this thing can do 6.5 secs to 60. Nice interior though. Decent family car.
At least this interior looks luxury unlike the TX. The 500h sport is the only acceptable model of that car but the interior looks 30k cheaper than this. Also gotta give props to infiniti for not having two screens glued together But i think the mazda cx90 is better than this and the Lexus
@@SimonGonzalOS I’m glad the tx is such a disappointment 😁. Because I predicted and called it that everyone would be disappointed and I’m glad I was right

Well lets not forget that your government wanted stricter emissions and the fact that not only Infiniti has a Turbo but so does BMW, and MB along with Ford, Lexus .. Lets be honest it was either this or have the current hybrid system thats in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
4 cylinder two liter engine? Now another reason not to buy this SUV. Ridiculous. This is supposed to be a luxury SUV. It's priced accordingly. Should have been a turbo 6 cylinder. I'm getting the impression this is the beginning of the end for Infiniti.
BAD, BAD, BAD for Infiniti to get rid of that beautiful VQ series engine🤬. That VC GARBAGE engine has been plague with nothing but issues along with its horrible sounds when pushing that engine to its limits. The only reasons why I was a fan of Infiniti was because of their V6 engines that were perfectly made and styling of their vehicles. I do believe Infiniti is nailing their coffin shut for future sales of any of their vehicles and have lost me as a customer if their VQ engines are no longer available
