About the 2018 INFINITI QX60

1st-generation QX60/JX family, after the 2016 refresh and after the 2017 engine/tech update; late-cycle year.

The QX60 is INFINITI’s family-focused three-row SUV. The brand markets it around seven-passenger usefulness, easy access to the third row, and a welcoming cabin that feels more premium than mainstream family crossovers. Compared with sportier luxury SUVs, its main appeal is a smooth ride, flexible seating, and everyday comfort for school runs, carpools, and road trips. It is aimed at shoppers who want luxury touches and family practicality in the same vehicle.

For 2018, INFINITI positions the QX60 3.5 as a comfortable family luxury SUV with seating for seven and easy access to the third row. Its standout features include a 295-hp V6, leather-appointed first- and second-row seats, heated front seats, a power moonroof and a power liftgate.

“I love this vehicle it's just missing GPS and some of the advanced features that Infiniti usually has on the dashboard”

“Great Vehicle. Good styling, reliable, spacious and well equipped interior. Lousy Navigation system.”

JMJames M.
2018 INFINITI QX60 FWD

“In addition for style, quality and technology, free maintenance for several years, in addition to a really good warranty is a major consideration for the Infiniti or any brand. This brand disappointed me in that I was not told free maintenance was not included after I leased the car. It was an after market option. Other brands include this service for 2 to 3 years.”
