“Q 60 is a great, smooth, powerful, good handling car for who has grown beyond the need for a hard-edged, hot rod with no suspension and a mid-engine compartment next to your ear!”
2018 INFINITI Q60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2018 INFINITI Q60 is a simpler naming scheme built around PURE and LUXE trims, along with renamed option packages. It is otherwise a light-update year, with no major mechanical or structural changes.
About the 2018 INFINITI Q60
2nd generation Q60 (2017-2022), second model year after the redesign.
The Q60 is INFINITI's style-first luxury coupe: a low, sleek two-door built to blend premium comfort with turbocharged performance. INFINITI markets it around dramatic design, a driver-focused cabin, and available advanced handling technology rather than rear-seat or cargo practicality. Its appeal against German rivals is the bold coupe shape, strong V6 choices, upscale interior feel, and the step-up to RED SPORT 400 performance at the top of the range.
The 2018 Q60 ranges from the straightforward 208-hp 2.0t Pure to Luxe models with a moonroof and 13-speaker Bose audio. The 3.0t Sport adds sharper suspension, upgraded brakes, sport seats, and a 300-hp twin-turbo V6, while the Red Sport 400 serves as the 400-hp performance flagship.
