All-New 2022 Infiniti QX60 review// This or the Pathfinder?

#Infiniti QX60
#QX60
#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Infiniti QX60 mid-size, three-row luxury SUV. The QX60 is a big seller for Infiniti, which makes this new 7-passenger SUVan important model in their lineup. Gone is the CVT, Infiniti has moved to a 9-speed automatic transmission with improved torque delivery and response, it shifts quickly and smoothly. The 3.5L V6 engine with 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque is carried over from the previous model. Standard AWD in Canada but both FWD and AWD options on all four trims in the US.This Infiniti has improved fuel economy, an upgraded suspension and steering, a quieter cabin, a more comfortable drive, less body roll and standard towing capacity of 3500 pounds. The top two trims can tow 6,000 pounds, which is enough to tow a 22-foot Airstream.The QX60 has a bold front bumper, black grille, unique digital piano key LED headlights and is the first Infiniti to offer two-tone styling with an available all-black roof. The rear features an all-new wrap around glass treatment creating a clean and simplistic design. Our test model is the Sensory trim, one below the top trim. It comes with 20” alloy wheels, LED headlights and taillights, chrome accents, silver roof rails, a motion activated liftgate and a panoramic sunroof. The QX60 offers an inviting and warm cabin with a saddle brown leather interior and a black open pore ash wood trim in our test model. Infiniti says, every detail of the QX60’s interior was well thought out including, the placement of its controls to make it a user-friendly experience. Infiniti embarked on a global two-year study to find the most pleasing materials at touch points and brought those surfaces and textures into this SUV. The zero gravity seats with an available massage feature in the front row are comfortable and plush for long trips and the second row has a standard bench seat, available captain’s chairs. The QX60 offers more passenger space now, the hip to heel room has increased with an extra 1.5” in the second row and almost half an inch in the third for a more natural seating position. Getting into the 3rd row is easy with a one touch second row and you don't have to remove your car seat, the seat pitches and slides forward. There’s 14.5 cubic feet of space behind the 3rd row and you also get 1.91 cubic feet of under floor storage. The QX60 comes with a redesigned infotainment system with a 12.3” touchscreen. The display can also be controlled at the centre console. The base trim offers plenty of standard features if you don’t want to make the stretch to the higher trims including, a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, leather seats, driver seat memory, power driver and passenger seats, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, wireless Apple Carplay and wired Android Auto. One up from the base model is the Luxe my “best value” trim, it gets you the 12.3” digital driver display, ProPilot Assist with Navigation and 20” wheels. In the US, you also get ventilated front seas on this trim. The top two trims come with head up display, motion activated liftgate, heated second row seats, ventilated front seats (Canada), a wireless charger and Bose sound system. The top trim has captain’s chairs with a removable centre console and perforated quilted seats with contrast stitching.

Infiniti looks like it’s waking back up from the dead. QX60 appears promising, updated, luxurious, and bulky. The infotainment system is user friendly with its touchscreen. Its interior is spacious and modern with the technology; though the trunk space could be improved like the MDX but that storage space beneath is still good. This vehicle honestly looks like a love child between a Range Rover and a Lexus. We’ll have to wait to see how well this luxury vehicle scores with car reviewers like Edmunds. Wonder how well its engine reliability will be as well. Nonetheless, this is a great step forward for Infinti. Great review as always you two!

That can be easily solved w/ a can of plasti dip or if you're experienced enough, a vinyl wrap.

[@sassaidi]

It seems like a great suv. I would pick it over my MDX BUT 2 things that are major negatives for me: 1. Premium fuel (wrong direction here, should be perhaps a hybrid suv). 2. No option to switch the chrome plaguing this SUV to black.

[@migy5031]

Hi Zack and Andrea. You two are great at picking out the subtle ergonomic quirks that buyers would come to resent. Nowadays it seems user interface issues are more important than mechanical specifications when choosing a vehicle. ✌️

Great review as usual. I test drive this model and drove the Autograph trim and loved it. What I did not love though is the $15k markup the dealer on it. $10k on the Sensory models. All due to high demand...Insane!

[@andreaspencer9813]

I hate it when they do that, it's not right. If the MSRP is that price, then that's what they should sell it for.

[@djalipumpkin]

Isn’t it premium recommended and not required?

[@ronripley9197]

@@djalipumpkin No. Premium fuel only is required in the new QX60. The Infiniti website states that this engine requires a minimum of 91 octane & strongly advises to use nothing else. I noticed in the review that Andrea never mentioned that regular gas can be used. When it can, she usually states the lower horse power and torque, which she didn't do on this review.

[@Amron10149]

Premium not premium. Recommend not recommend. I bought this vehicle 4 weeks and it drives amazing with premium fuel, whatever people are saying, I’m not changing to regular gasoline for the sake of performance. Just think it’s a luxury vehicle with luxury price tag, so what’s a 3 or 4 dollars extra at the gas stations fill up.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

"Gone is the CVT" Yep, That's right. It's that easy... Why can't auto manufacturers learn and listen to their customers? For me, CVTs are best left to EVs and Hybrids.. Yes!!! Great review Zach and Andrea, even though this is not the vehicle for me. As always, I'm here for your channel.

@@Brian-jv8iy plug in/Hybrids are to me the epitome of Bland. Nonscript, vanilla. Although I realize Porsche/Tesla, has made a run of these vanilla wafers into super fast vehicles. I’m the type to enjoy the pleasures of hearing a petrol/gas engine roarrrr!! Whether that be 4/6-turbo, 6 S/C, or a Naturally Aspirated V8. I’m old though so I digress.

[@howlingwolf125y]

Looks like Infiniti did a pretty good job (mostly) with the QX 60.. but I am on the taller side (6'2").. I like a taller, higher roofline to improve outward visibility and good cabin room/comfort. The QX still looks like it has an (unfortunately) very low roofline. A lot of new SUV/CUV designs are going for a more boxy, higher roofline designs.. I think the QX may have missed the boat on this... If the Infiniti QX would have raised the roofline on the QX about 2" or 3" (for extra comfort and good visibility), I think this would have been MUCH better.

The premium fuel requirement is puzzling to me, especially since the new Pathfinder has the same engine. The fuel requirement is a big disappointment for me.

[@pullingpuppetstrings3826]

Lol people who complain about gas prices shouldn’t be buying luxury cars to begin with

[@redlinemsa]

No need for premium fuel. As you stated, same engine. The ECU will account for the lower octane and make adjustments. I have 2 Infiniti's that "require" premium fuel. I use regular 90% of the time.

[@wdpm6424]

Yeah car will detune to the pathfinders mapping, you loose power but save $

[@redlinemsa]

Wish the review couple would get their facts straight. I see they aren't really car people and have minimal understanding on how vehicles work these days. I know it's just an opinion but claiming ypu HAVE to use premium fuel is rookie.

[@Jeymez]

the Infiniti uses more premium materials for the engine, that's why premium is required. now some might say, but if their based on the same platform, how can they be different. when they say based on the same platform, or shared, it doesn't mean what goes into each vehicle is the same. there is a reason Infiniti is a recognized premium brand, it's because the engine, the construction, the interior all use higher grade materials, and that's why they cost more. Nissan is a domestic manufacturer, and while they also own Infiniti, you can't sell a Nissan vehicle for the same price as Infiniti. okay so what are you getting, essentially Nissan and Infiniti share similar platforms, but that only has to do with vehicle size, and similar performance use. but the way Infiniti achieves those same numbers, is different, and that's where you get into premium gas vs regular. now some might say, Lexus says you can use regular in their cars, yes but they will also tell you, premium fuel will improve the performance. Lexus is a premium luxury brand, but what that means to each brand is different. BMW's slogan is the ultimate driving machine, those are marketing terms, but what that means is, they wanna give you the most fun and best handling. BMW builds most of their cars based on that, so their gonna use the best parts for the engine, for the brakes, basically all the things you associate with BMW. Lexus philosophy, was always about the pursuit of excellence. so depending on how Lexus goes about it, some of their cars won't require premium fuel, but some of their cars do require it. well Infiniti on the other hand, always tried to be more like Acura, and a little like BMW. most Acura's require premium gas, and some don't, well Infiniti goes one step further, most Infiniti's you come across do. Nissan doesn't use anything high end, it's a domestic car brand, so the engine is going to be less complicated, and easier to maintain. but that's the cost of going premium, it's because reliability is not the center focus. however that don't mean they can't be, most of the Japanese premium brands are pretty good, and Lexus is number 1 in reliability, but the German brands is where it can vary.

[@lowKut]

I absolutely adore the QX60. Its design is simply stunning, and its features are impressive. When I was on the lookout for a new SUV last summer to replace my 2020 Durango, the QX60 was among my top three choices. The MDX came in second for me. Sadly, I didn't end up choosing either Infiniti or Acura. Instead, I went with the 2023 Dodge Durango in the orange edition.

[@bw6415]

I like the the chrome trim accents at the bottom of the rear bumper. They don’t look like exhaust finishers, rather they look like a continuation of the front chrome plates in the lower front front fascia. They are more subdued on the lesser trim levels. Either way…. I applaud Infiniti for going with this design.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bfish9700]

I really like the QX60, I'd actually look at the 1 lower than top trim, I prefer a second row bench. I'm rarely if ever going to use the third row, so bench is ideal. This just has everything I want.

[@markkennedy5335]

Not sure I understand this category of 7 seater SUV. Clearly your not putting 5 or even 7 people in these vehicles and going camping. I bet these owners have the back seat laying down most of the time. Forget the Airstream you would need a trailer just to head out to the hockey rink if you had to pick up a couple other kids. Great looking and great review. Not for me I’m out.

I might never have purchased a QX in the past, but I absolutely loved renting them for a week here and there. Besides, nobody rents the Acura MDXs. This new one is by far an improvement of the last QX, no comparison. I love what it looks like (save those ridiculous fake exhaust tips), I like the size and the interior design is so much nicer. The Acura’s over styled and complicated interior is it’s major weak point. So between the two... I’d go with the Infiniti. I think they’ve nailed it. But I’d test drive both (ideally a week) to really find out. Are you listening Enterprise/Budget/Avis rent-a-car? Thanks for the video.

[@andreaspencer9813]

[@bradenkun]

Much improved infotainment system! Thank god. Infiniti really missed the mark with the QX55 (sales wise) In my opinion it’s likely not enough to save the brand as they have almost nothing in the works for the next couple of years. In Canada Nissan has already offered Infiniti dealership owners the opportunity to consolidate back into Nissan/Infiniti joint dealers as Infiniti sales are so poor these last couple of years. That’s a bad sign as in some articles, owners complained they were losing hundreds of thousands per year on their Infiniti dealerships. Infiniti is in worse shape than it may appear on the surface.

[@noahboy6349]

The QX55 is a total loser with the aging infotainment center and gauge cluster. And they gave it the troublesome Jatco CVT transmission!

[@donnad3133]

They need new q50 qx50 q60 and qx80 and dump the qx55

[@redlinemsa]

The bumpy suspension is partially attributed to the 20" wheels and lower profile tires. Drive the base with 18" wheels.

Great review. It is really a great comparison to Pathfinder. Whether the QX60 truly worth the premium over Pathfinder is the dealer service. Although there is some Infiniti dealer exists inside Nissan dealer floor, its the stand alone Infiniti dealer that will provide much better service than those of a Nissan. Premium service like loaner car provides for simple service like oil change, will definitely be the reason QX60 > Pathfinder. I have known a good friend who chose a Q3 over Tiguan because of Audi premium service, also their superior reliability. That's despite the showrooms are next door to each others. Guess if you are from Vancouver, you should know which dealer group I talked about.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it and thanks for all the feedback.

[@3joewj]

The acura does not qualify for the tax incentive in the United States...the xfinity does.

[@xorbitman]

Finally a new infotainment system. It's about time Infiniti! How is this new infotainment system? And does this mean that we're going to see this new system in other newer products from Infiniti? Are there any fake outside plastic air ducts? Shame on you Infiniti for those fake exhaust tips. How good is the HUD (Head's up display)? i don't like quilted seats and door trim because I find it looks too much like a coffin...sorry. I do agree with you guys on this. I have a 2012 G37xS Coupe (Red) that I purchased new and then added a lot of performance mods and interior Carbon Fiber Trim; It's never seen any winters and is fun to drive. Our winter vehicle as you may remember guys is a 2018 Full optioned BMW X1 also with aftermarket wheels and tires for summer and performance parts with extras that we added to the interior. It has the executive package which surprisingly wasn't available in the US and has thicker glass and adjustable dampers and park assist and ICC (intelligent Cruise Control and adjustable rear seats. I think we will keep this until the EVs come out and are competitive in price. I think BMW invented the SUV with the X5. The Climate controls in the QX60 uses haptic feedback like smartphones. From what I can see the BMW infotainment system is still superior. As you know Bimmers have 8 buttons on the dash that are programmable presets. I use the first button as my 40 favorite stations which include Sirius XM, AM and FM. The Infotainment wheel controls everything without lag and I also save my home address on another button. I use another button as a speed dial list. The advantage of having a home address saved in the button is that you can find your way home from anywhere quickly without going through the whole navigation menu. The media screen in the Bimmer is really quite good too. The navigation combined with the display in the dash and HUD is really good and I haven't seen much better yet and certainly from your video here Infiniti still had a way to go. I have an Android phone and I'm not a fan of the intrusiveness of Android Auto. I find it slows your phone and nav down and I can't comment on Apple Car Play. Great review you guys and as usual your production quality is A1. You guys are lucky you're not in Montreal...the weather here is awful. So cold that car batteries are freezing! I hope that Infiniti brings out a new sports car with a completely new platform, the current platform has been around since 2008!

Wow, congratulations! I really enjoyed the QX60 a lot. It's interesting you say the MDX 3rd row seat is unusable because it actually has more space in the 3rd row than the QX60. Maybe it was more about comfort level than space? I agree with you about the pricing, such great value in both Canada and the US, very well priced. I also heard there was a bit of a wait for the QX60, sounds like you had the same issue having to wait 5 months.

Hi Andrea & Zack I'm looking to get a premium SUV and after going through various brands have it down to Lexus RX , infiniti qx60 , BMW X3 and genesis GV70 all 2023 models. Which do you think would be the best pick . I'm leaning towards gv70 but if it a reliable brand ?

[@mrgold3591]

I've always liked the front end and grill of Infiniti; but the back half and side view reminds me of Lincoln Aviator or Corsair. Not sure why luxury brands run on premium? The extra cost per gallon doesn't give you the same return in power and mpgs compared to the same engine tuned to run on regular gas in lower trims?

[@TalismanPHX]

Im actually very surprised that Infiniti still exists as a brand. It's retail sales have been poor and its resale values have been terrible. Highly recommend leasing and not purchasing due to the abysmal resale. While it might not be the most exciting, I'd pick a Lexus RX for the money. Its a damn shame Infiniti was always so mismarketed in North America. Remember the weird initial advertising campaign for Infiniti in the 90s. They didnt even SHOW THE CAR in the television ads! Then, Carlos Ghosn banished Infiniti from product refreshes and said the brand was unnecessary and merely luxurious Nissans.... a damn shame.

QX60. Both vehicles are quiet but there is slightly less NVH from the VQ powertrain in the Infiniti versus the Cadillac 3.6 liter motor. Ride quality is softer in the QX60 but keep in mind the handling will be a little less sharp when compared against the Caddy.

[@petewick8627]

Similar suspension quality to a Porsche?

[@mrdoktorek22]

Thanks. Great review but if it rides like a truck, I'll pass. I rode the pathfinder, I hated it

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. It's not like the Pathfinder at all, much more refined, give it a test drive, I really enjoyed it.

[@Tinrs80]

I like this.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Infiniti did a great job on this one!

[@lakin46]

We bought the 2022 Infiniti QX60 in the luxe trim. The car looks great has great features however we are already exploring other options. We have 3 small kids and bought a 3 row for this reason. In the real world that 3rd row is useless My 9 year old doesn’t even fit back there. I had high hopes for this suv we came over from a telluride and regretted it.

[@andreaspencer9813]

I have to be honest with you, the 3rd row in all of these 7-seaters isn't great. I fit okay in the 3rd row of this QX60, but I wouldn't want to be in there for a long period of time. The Telluride is bigger with 31.4 inches of legroom compared to this QX60 with 28 inches. So a little more room to spread out for sure. The MDX is also a bit bigger in the 3rd row at 29.1 inches.

[@Googleuser1990]

Hey I am in the same boat, having our 3rd kid so the wife and I are looking at 7-8 seaters. Just wondering what options you have chosen other than this Infiniti and your previous Telluride? My wife wants the palisade but I can't see myself spending that when for a little more money I can get this, mdx, etc. Lastly, how is the infinity other then the issue with 3rd row? thanks

[@BYDkorea]

It is certain this is better than gv80

[@andreaspencer9813]

Less expensive though, this is priced really well for a 7-seater.

Awesome review as usual folks! We actually tested the Pathfinder today here in Calgary and this review couldn’t have come in a better time. The best part is that my wife and Andrea said the same thing about needing a washroom when gone camping 🤣😅🤣😂

We are disappointed with our 2018 MDX- Honda/Acura always get a pass on faults. MDX paint is razor thin, had to get the car painted after 3 years. engine is too small-the transmission is geared to compensate-noticeable and annoying. Radio+climate control combo is very clumsy and frustrating to use. Build quality is fine but the car is definitely overrated.

[@-Derp-]

The QX60 is good although I cant help but think outclassed by Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW. I think there is a reason why the QX60 is priced to undercut the aforementioned, being that the others offer more luxury for the money. They are not jazzed up Nissan Pathfinders with some lipstick applied.

[@saq4851]

I realize there is a disparity in the class of vehicle but how does this compare to the GLB by Mercedes??

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes, this is a lot bigger, the GLB 3rd row is only used in a pinch. It's quite small, this 3rd row is definitely bigger. Beautiful interior in the GLB though.

[@chargerman165]

Great video. I know they are in a different class but prefer my wife’s 2022 Genesis GV70 Sport Prestige. Although Infinity looks nice IMO Genesis looks way better.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for watching, the GV70 is a great vehicle but you are right this is a 7-seater, it's bigger and drives like a true SUV. You've got yourself an excellent SUV, enjoy your GV70!

Will they put this new transmission on the qx55?! I don’t really need 3 rows and qx55 is a looker

[@andreaspencer9813]

Oh I hope so, it has a beautiful exterior, but the CVT has to go.

[@brucemiller2057]

Why in the heck in a luxury car would they have wired connectivity? Can't remember, is there wireless charging?

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes, there is a wireless charger on this Sensory trim. Porsche is the same wired Android Auto but wireless Apple Carplay.

[@relloe29]

So is that a new QX4?

[@fabulousprofound]

Is Infiniti going to survive as a brand? My local dealer Morrey Infiniti in burnaby is now a Volvo dealership, and they shifted what inventory they had left to their adjacent Nissan franchise and stuck a sign on the side of the building like an afterthought 😕

[@andreaspencer9813]

Interesting, I hope the brand survives, they certainly did a great job with this new QX60. I also love the exterior of the QX55 but that CVT has to go.

[@biagiooliverio8049]

The front reminds me of the Toyota Highlander; but Toyota priced lower and runs on regular gas.

Hopefully QX50 get infotainment updates & regular V6 engine not cvt 2023 or 2024 than infiniti win back it customers 🤷🏾‍♂️😎

[@matthewalexis]

A v6 in a qx50/qx55 probably isn't going to come, expect a 4-cylinder turbo. The qx55/qx50 will need the whole interior revamp, not just the infotainment update. But you're right they need to ditch the cvt.

[@DonFather]

I normally don't even mind the fake exhausts that other manufacturers make because it keeps that area soot free, but holy shiney butt Batman! Those things stick out like a sore....um I can't say that on youtube.

[@khaledabdelwahab9455]

I like both the infinity and the MDX specially the dashboard in the infinity, but I think I would pick the MDX as i'm afraid of Nissan/Infinity's transmissions reliability! I may also pick the lexus over it for the same reason although I really like how the infinity looks!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Infiniti did a really good job on this SUV but there is definitely some stiff competition in this category. Lots to choose from and they're all very good.

I remember at the time of introduction of Lexus and Infiniti in the fall of 1989 I couldn’t tell who would lead the race. It’s so obvious now, this QX60 will be Infiniti make or break deal. I hope Infiniti will make it. Infinity needs to introduce Halo flagships like Lexus has been doing by introducing awesome luxury models like the LFA. LC500, LS500, LX600, IS500 and so on instead Infiniti only offers gussied up Nissan

[@andreaspencer9813]

This a great start with this new QX60.

[@willl3677]

I encourage folks to merge in traffic. Pay $60k with acceleration like a $10k vehicle. Everything else is nice but if you enjoy acceleration you will hate it

[@Rafaelsoffer]

Some 2023 models have bad fuel pumps. Apparently Infiniti is looking into this issue and have not issue a recall. IT IS A VERY CRITICAL PROBLEM, VERY ANNOYING TO SCARRY, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE TRAVELS WITH THE FAMILY AND THE FUEL PUMP SUDDENLY STARTS TO MAKE A SHARP SOUND. 7253 KMS, I have counted more than 3 serious problems, and 11 bugs. This SUV is a CRAP. Right exterior mirror wont unfold, he got stuck. Right exterior mirror is shaking all the time, Infiniti Canada does not offer a solution as of yet. The illumination for the middle control panel (contains temperature controls etc) has a mind of its own. When headlights are on "auto" the panel illumination is sometimes bright, then switches to dim and will even switch off (so I can't see 90% of the controls!). These occurrences have nothing to do w changes in the outside/daylight/natural lighting. A/C fan sometimes stops working Noises on the roof. Rearview mirror, when used as a mirror (not in Screen mode), it is impossible for a tall person to adjust the position. Hard suspension, unpleasant. All commands including boot button ignition are slow, they all take more than 1 second to respond. The seats in the Autograph model are quite uncomfortable, they feel like boosters. The subwoofers are located in the doors, which is bad, because in the very near future, surely, the doors will start to make annoying noises, caused by the loosening of the different parts, due to the constant vibration of the 2 subwoofers. Carplay, before hanging up a call, you have to remember to lower the volume, because otherwise, the next incoming call will sound with a ringtone at full volume. The leather of the seats is deformed after a trip of more than 1 hour. There are more problems, the problem is that there are so many that I don't remember the rest at the moment.
