The QX60 is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine with an aluminum-alloy block and heads, delivering 265 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. Power and efficiency are realized through dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), 4-valves per cylinder with micro finished camshaft, and Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System. EPA fuel economy is estimated at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
The other engine of choice was the 2.5L supercharged I-4 with Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid, which adds a lithium-ion battery and a 15 kW electric motor into the power equation. This engine is also equipped with electric-active controlled liquid-filled engine mount.
The Infiniti Intelligent Key lets you unlock the doors and start the engine without taking the key out of your pocket or purse. The seat, steering wheel, and mirrors are returned to where you set them. Climate control, radio, and nav settings are also automatically recalled when equipped with Enhanced Intelligent Key memory.
Door handle lights illuminate the ground below. Soft lighting welcomes you to the interior. The interior lights glow warmly to help everyone settle in.
The test vehicle had the optional climate-controlled front seats, which circulate cool or warm air through the seat bottoms as needed. Second row seats are heated too, helping to make everyone comfortable.
The three rows of seating are leather-appointed, making them so comfortable and elegant. The tri-zone automatic temperature control has a micro filter that helps keep pollutants out. Even folks in the back seats have a say in their comfort as they can adjust the temperature controls in the back of the center console.
The moonroof spanning over the two back rows elevates occupant view and allows natural light to flow through the cabin. Another moonroof extends above the driver and front seat passenger as well. The second row occupants enjoy 41.7 inches of legroom.
