INFINITI Q60

The Q60 lineup starts with the Base Model group: 2.0t, 2.0t Pure, 3.0t Pure, Journey, PURE, and base. These deliver the coupe’s dramatic shape and core luxury features without the richer extras found above them. The Mid-Level group includes 2.0t Luxe, 2.0t Premium, 3.0t Luxe, 3.0t Premium, and LUXE; it is the comfort-and-tech branch, known especially for a moonroof and Bose audio. The Sport Styling group covers 3.0t Sport, Q60S, and Q60S Limited. These versions put more emphasis on handling, brakes, supportive seats, and driver involvement. The High Performance group includes IPL and RED SPORT 400, the performance flagships of their respective eras, with stronger engine tuning and more serious suspension and brake hardware.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the Q60 PURE and LUXE?

In recent years, both use the same 300-hp twin-turbo V6. LUXE adds upscale daily-use features such as richer leather, heated front seats and steering wheel, Bose audio, a moonroof, an around-view camera, and adaptive cruise control.

What's the difference between the Q60 LUXE and RED SPORT 400?

On later Q60s, LUXE is the comfort-focused 300-hp trim, while RED SPORT 400 is the 400-hp performance model. RED SPORT also adds adaptive suspension, larger sport brakes, paddle shifters, navigation, and sportier cabin trim.

How does the Q60 3.0t Sport compare with the RED SPORT 400?

The 3.0t Sport has much of the serious handling hardware but keeps the 300-hp V6 tune. Both feature adaptive suspension, upgraded brakes, sport seats, and paddle shifters, while RED SPORT 400 adds the stronger 400-hp engine tune.

What's the difference between the Q60 2.0t Pure and 2.0t Luxe?

Both use the 208-hp turbo four-cylinder and seven-speed automatic. In the 2018-era lineup, 2.0t Luxe adds a power moonroof, 13-speaker Bose audio, a garage-door opener, and an auto-dimming mirror over the simpler 2.0t Pure.

What's the difference between the Q60 2.0t Premium and 3.0t Premium?

The engine is the main difference. Early in the redesigned Q60's run, 2.0t Premium used a 208-hp turbo four-cylinder, while 3.0t Premium had a 300-hp twin-turbo V6. Both focused on comfort with a moonroof and Bose audio.

Which Q60 trim should I pick if I mainly want the styling and V6?

On 2019-2022 cars, PURE is the straightforward pick. It has the same 300-hp twin-turbo V6 and dramatic coupe shape as LUXE, but leaves out many of the added comfort, camera, audio, and driver-assistance features.

Which Q60 trim is the better everyday luxury choice?

In the later three-trim lineup, LUXE is the well-rounded daily-use choice. It keeps the 300-hp V6 and adds heated features, richer leather, Bose audio, a moonroof, an around-view camera, and adaptive cruise control.

Which Q60 trim should I look for if acceleration matters most?

RED SPORT 400 is the one to look for. In the redesigned lineup, it uses the highest-output 400-hp twin-turbo V6 and pairs it with adaptive suspension, larger brakes, paddle shifters, and performance-focused cabin details.

What is the Q60 3.0t Sport trim?

The 3.0t Sport is a driver-focused 300-hp trim from the earlier part of the redesigned Q60's run. It adds adaptive suspension, larger brakes, supportive sport seats, paddle shifters, carbon-fiber trim, and driver memory.

Are Q60 Premium and LUXE the same trim?

They fill a similar comfort-focused role, but the names depend on the model year. INFINITI used Premium early in the redesigned Q60's run, then adopted PURE and LUXE naming for 2018. Always compare equipment on the exact car.

What's the difference between the older Q60S and Q60S Limited?

Q60S is the older driver's trim with firmer suspension, larger brakes, sport seats, and a six-speed manual in coupe form. Q60S Limited builds on that formula with black exterior accents, a sport exhaust, added cabin technology, and manual or automatic versions.

Is IPL just the old name for RED SPORT 400?

No. IPL was the performance version of the older retractable-hardtop Q60 Convertible, using a 343-hp 3.7-liter V6. RED SPORT 400 belongs to the redesigned coupe era and uses a 400-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.

Do I need a higher Q60 trim to get Apple CarPlay?

Not on the latest cars. Wireless Apple CarPlay is standard on every 2022 Q60 trim, including PURE. Earlier cars differ: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became standard across the lineup for 2020, initially through a wired connection.
