2015 INFINITI QX60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 INFINITI QX60 is a light update rather than a redesign. Its main change is revised programming for the continuously variable automatic transmission, or CVT, which adds simulated shifts for a more traditional feel during acceleration.
About the 2015 INFINITI QX60
1st generation, third model year overall and second year under the QX60 name; pre-refresh year before the broader 2016 styling, cabin, and chassis update.
The QX60 is INFINITI’s family-focused three-row luxury crossover. Infiniti markets it around easy access to the third row, flexible seating that still works with a child seat installed, and a premium cabin with true room for seven people. Its personality is more about comfort, quietness, and everyday family usability than sporty handling, and in 2015 it offered both a traditional V6 model and a higher-efficiency Hybrid without changing the core roomy layout.
The 2015 QX60 is a premium three-row crossover with seating for seven, standard leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a second row designed to ease third-row access with a child seat in place. The 3.5 model uses a V6, while the Hybrid combines a supercharged 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor for 250 net horsepower. Both versions retain family-friendly features such as tri-zone climate control, a power moonroof, and a power liftgate.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The V6 and hybrid hardware carry over, but both receive revised CVT programming with D-step logic. It simulates distinct gear changes during acceleration instead of holding the engine at one steady speed.

Frequently asked questions
What changed on the 2015 INFINITI QX60 compared with the 2014 model?
The main change for 2015 is revised CVT programming with D-step logic. It creates simulated gear changes during acceleration, making the transmission feel more like a traditional automatic; the rest of the vehicle changed very little.
Was the 2015 INFINITI QX60 redesigned?
No, the 2015 QX60 was not redesigned. Its styling, cabin, body structure, and chassis largely carried over, with the broader refresh arriving for 2016.
Did the 2015 INFINITI QX60 get a new engine?
No, the 2015 QX60 kept its existing powertrains. The 3.5 model retained its 3.5-liter V6, and the Hybrid retained its supercharged 2.5-liter engine and electric motor; the change was to transmission programming rather than engine hardware.
Is the 2015 INFINITI QX60 substantially different from the 2014 model?
No, the 2015 QX60 is very similar to the 2014 model. Its clearest advantage is the revised transmission programming, so the difference mainly comes down to how acceleration feels rather than major changes to styling, cabin features, safety equipment, or structure.
