Fancy, sleek, but not worth the dollars

2016 INFINITI QX60 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
6 of 14 people found this review helpful

I drove one around for a week as a replacement for repairs. I put about 1000 miles on it, it was new. Some things really stood out. First, it is a beautiful SUV, seats are comfortable with leather and plenty of space. Vision is nice with few blind spots. It accelerates nicely and the V6 is really responsive, if a little noise. Cruises at 75 nicely and very smooth. But, for A $50,000 car (I had a base model), it was really not much car for the money. Bluetooth paired with phone for calls, but not for music....kind of amazing in todays world. It did have an Aux jack in the storage, but that was not real useful. Amazingly, it had RCA jacks too, not sure if Infinity thought I was going to hook up a cassette deck or something. Back up camera was nice, especially with a 7 inch screen, but the infotainment system was useless so it was a waste of a screen, climate controls were confusing and not easy to use. Really much prefer my Outback, though not quite as comfortable, it does have many more features for much less money. If it isabout looking good in a car, this is it, otherwise, I will pass.

$46K+ vehicle with zero accident avoidance tech,no compass,raw unfinished looking front wheel wells.Insturments and radio/climate screens lack any style or variety.Great looking car in and out.I like unique and will unlikely see another and have had complements,too bad I feel compelled to point out minor shortcomings.Wish I had stayed with my first and best choice of Highlander for same pymt.Oh well,only 38 mo.to go

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

People looking to buy infiniti QX60 beware there is a major issue with the coupler which costs over $3 k to repair/replace. I had this same issue on my vehicle but infiniti is refusing to repair this issue as my warranty just expired, however, there was a tsb issued in September of 2018 for this exact same issue but inifiniti failed to notify us about this major issue. If i had known about this service bulletin while my vehicle was under warranty i would have definitely taken it to the infiniti for a repair. My vehicle first started showing the same symptoms last december and i had the powertrain warranty then. The lack of untimely information provided by infiniti has resulted in losing the opportunity to get this issue repaired under warranty. Based on our experience with our vehicle having less than 75 k miles, i would highly recommend avoiding buying a QX60. We had other issues with this vehicle in the past so there is always some kind of a problem

Love driving this vehicle with all perks. It handles exceptionally well considering the size compared to driving a sedan. Looking forward to my first road trip.

Update - About a year later... The Infiniti has been rock solid reliable for us during the past year. Initial impressions still hold, this is a great cruising vehicle, great for shuffling people around in comfort. We've towed our small camper with it and it towed well, could tell we were pulling the camper, but it was stable and surefooted as always. Thought I'd mention some things I would change (and I know a new version is coming) - Lumbar support and memory positions for the passenger side seat. Ventilation in the middle row seats (not just heat), auto-dimming outside mirrors, and ditch the lane-keeping system or create something better that doesn't use the brakes. Overall more front seat adjustments would be nice as well (side bolsters, thigh support, etc.). The rest of the vehicle - keep it the same, I'd buy another one! It was time for us to replace our family vehicle with something a little smaller now that our nest is nearly empty. But we still needed to be able to tow. Since we were also going to downsize by one vehicle and this would be my primary driver, I wanted something that was reasonably economical and more car-like than our Suburban. We drove several midsize SUVs (or Crossovers) including the Acadia, Enclave, Highlander, Pathfinder, and a few different QX60s. We really wanted a center-row bench, so that did limit our selections, although we were open to captain’s chairs if we felt the overall vehicle was better. I didn’t like the first QX we drove, it was 2015, AWD, with no options added. We also drove a few fully loaded Enclaves (2015, 2017) and Acadia (SLT and Denali versions, 2016, 2017). Then we drove the QX60 FWD with the 20-inch wheels that were fully loaded. It was game over after that. The QX was quieter, smoother, and if nothing else felt more powerful than the other cars, even the Highlander which is basically the same vehicle with different styling. So, we went for the QX60. The one we purchased was the FWD, with Premium, Premium Plus, Technology and Theater packages, so a fully loaded car. It’s gorgeous, with styling that is not too much “in your face” but definitely not a “grocery getter”. Ours is the Hakane (steel) Blue with a graphite interior. The maple veneers complement the color wonderfully, and normally I don’t like wood grain trim. Engine noise is virtually nonexistent. Yes, the CVT feels a little strange, and there is a rubber band effect when you first take off that reminds me very much of a Prius. Passing power is great, and merging into Florida’s busy roads is never a problem. The brakes are fantastic, smooth, and even. Handling is great, its not a Miata but doesn’t feel like a tall 7-passenger wagon either. The view out, while driving, or backing up, is great, and the cameras help a lot. It was the first time I felt so confident backing up a car I had never driven, and that has persisted. Seats are comfortable and link to the key fobs so my wife and I can have our own settings. I do wish the Bluetooth setting would link to our key fob so it would pick the right phone to sync with as changing it through the menus requires quite a few clicks, and you need to remember to do it before the radio comes on, which if you leave it on when you save your settings to the key – well, you will wait for the failure to connect. Speaking of the sound system, it’s played audio from our phones and from USB sticks without issue, and the 15-speaker system with subwoofer is one of the best-sounding OE systems I have ever heard. Having looked at a few new ones during our journey, not much has changed since 2016, the cup holder built into the console is different, but otherwise, nothing seemed significantly different, we didn’t feel a bump in power between the 2016 and 2017 that we drove although there is supposed to be a 30+ hp difference. Cargo capacity with the 3rd row up is small but plentiful with the 3rd row collapsed, and the power fold-up is handy for my wife who is much shorter than I am. The roof rack is easy to use but will block that headroom robbing 2nd moonroof if you have the cover open when you are carrying items on the roof. Also, good to remember that even with AWD, this is not an off-road vehicle, and watch those parking bump-stops (the front camera and collision warnings are great for that!) We are averaging 22 MPG in mainly stop-and-go driving, almost always with the AC on, and reliability (the factory powertrain warranty is still in effect) has been perfect so far. Oil changes are on par (we are using synthetic) with our Suburban. And if I didn’t mention it – this thing is quiet on the road, sometimes it’s a little eerie! So - Another update - The only issue we have had with the vehicle is a repeating warning light for the collision avoidance system, which basically just keeps getting reset, and then comes back on. Only in the daytime. Infiniti did some body work saying one of the sensors was damaged - where they had to paint something to match - but - that has not resolved the issue. The safety systems all still work which makes it more confusing, the warning light is similar to water drop torture at times, and I wish they could fix it. We will continue to work with the dealer to attempt to get the light to go, and stay out.
