2021 INFINITI Q60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2021 INFINITI Q60 is a substantial standard-equipment upgrade for the LUXE trim. This is otherwise a light update rather than a redesign, with the coupe body, twin-turbo V6 engines, and 7-speed automatic carrying over.
About the 2021 INFINITI Q60
1st-generation INFINITI Q60 coupe (2017-2022), late-cycle year with no redesign.
INFINITI positions the Q60 as a bold, driver-focused luxury coupe with standard twin-turbo V6 power and a cabin that feels more upscale than a typical sporty two-door. Its core appeal is combining dramatic styling, strong straight-line performance, and everyday comfort in a coupe that feels special without becoming harsh or stripped-down. Compared with many rivals, the Q60 leans on standout looks, standard V6 output, and a premium cockpit rather than chasing the most hard-edged handling setup.
The PURE is the simpler version, pairing a 300-hp twin-turbo V6 with dual-screen infotainment, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. LUXE is the comfort-focused daily driver, with semi-aniline leather, heated front seats, a Bose 13-speaker audio system, and a broad set of driver aids. RED SPORT 400 is the performance model, combining a 400-hp V6 with upgraded suspension, stronger brakes, paddle shifters, and built-in navigation.
