2022 INFINITI Q60 RED SPORT 400
2022 INFINITI Q60 Review
- Red Sport 400's powerful engine
- Plenty of value for a luxury coupe
- All-wheel drive available for all trims
- Cabin is showing its age
- Trunk is small, even for a luxury coupe
- Not as engaging to drive as most rivals
- Wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity now standard
- Part of the second Q60 generation introduced for 2017
The second-generation Q60 is showing its age against European rivals, but the Infiniti is still one of the sharpest-looking models in the luxury coupe segment. It's also one of the most affordable. The Q60 is the coupe version of the Q50 sedan and has one of the lowest starting prices in the brand's lineup, just above the QX50 SUV.
If the Q60 drove as well as it looks, it'd be a riot to drive. But it doesn't. The majority of owners will be pleased with how it rides and responds to driver input, but those wanting a sharp-handling back road carver should look elsewhere. The Q60's base engine offers plenty of grunt, and the optional Red Sport 400's power is impressive. Those in colder climates will appreciate the premium coupe's optional all-wheel-drive system offered on all trims.
The Q60 has some stiff competition — rivals include the Audi A5, BMW 4 Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe. The Europeans cost more, but they also have more to offer. Still, the high value proposition means the Q60 shouldn't be overlooked.

INFINITI Q60 vs. the competition
2022 INFINITI Q60
2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
INFINITI Q60 vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The impressive C-Class coupe tops the Q60 in most ways, with the exception of a significantly higher starting price and a less powerful base engine. If you want the more powerful engine option (Red Sport 400 vs. AMG C 43), base pricing grows very similar, but the Mercedes can quickly get expensive. Outside, the C-Class is very stylish like the Q60, and it has an undeniable advantage when it comes to interior design.
INFINITI Q60 vs. Audi A5
The A5's looks might not turn as many heads as the Q60's, but the Audi makes up for it in user-friendly tech and interior styling and quality. Also, the Q60 and A5 aren't far apart in pricing. The Audi's base engine is more fuel-efficient though not as powerful as the Infiniti's. If two doors aren't enough and you still want a sporty coupe look, the A5 has you covered with a four-door hatchback body style called the Sportback.
INFINITI Q60 vs. BMW 4 Series
The redesigned 4 Series is now one of the best models in the luxury coupe segment. It's priced not much higher than the Infiniti, so it would be hard to justify the Q60 over the 4 Series — unless of course you despise the BMW's new grille. When it comes to handling prowess, the 4 Series easily has the advantage yet still offers a supple ride.
