I seriously don't understand why everyone wants to replace a V6 engine with a lawnmower engine, slap a turbo on it, and call it appealing.

Regulations and fuel economy. They cant sell in Europe with larger engines anymore. That is why everything has gone to 2.0T.

[@MercOne]

@@cygnusa3772 Uh....Infiniti isn't sold in Europe. That has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything. Competitors still have 6-cylinders and they have other models with 6-cylidner engines.

@@ahsanmalik1013 Infiniti does what? Are you just not understanding that Infiniti is NOT SOLD in Europe? Do you just not understand that the competition still sells 6-cylinder engines? This is a luxury brand, not a repackaged Nissan, that is the sell, but it's undone with stupid moves like this. Infiniti is NOT SOLD in Europe, what engines Nissan sells there has NOTHING to do with Infiniti in the USA. Is everyone here just totally clueless?

[@sheldonduffy9442]

When I heard new engine I was thinking “Wow, they must have given it the 3.0 Turbo.” When I saw it was a 2.0 Turbo my jaw dropped.

[@josephpayton9151]

Yeah i definitely prefer the 2024 model just cuz of the v6. When we looked at it in the sensory and autograph we really liked it. And it was one of the last with a v6. It had a nice sound to it as well. Now I dont think we will be paying 70 grand for a 4 cylinder car. You get more out of a GH with the hybrid. I cant wait to see end of the year deals on 24’s 😀

[@NicolasLaughs9320]

I AM SO MAD AT INFINITI FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE V6 WAS RELIABLE AND IT HAD A RELIABLE TRANSMISSION!

[@Green_Leaf]

Good and thorough review. I really like the QX60 and have been considering getting one. SUGGESTION… When speaking of Horsepower & Torque specs, please include the RPM (engine speed) in which the power is attained in your review. A 4-cylinder will typically generate its peak power at a higher RPM versus a V6 or V8. A well tuned Turbo can generate greater low-end Torque on a 4-cylinder. (Or any engine for that matter) I would be interested in The feel of the 4-Cylinder Turbo under acceleration versus the V6.

[@9fishwm]

Well that made up my mind. 2024 model instead of 2025. I rather keep a V6 instead of a 4 cylinder turbo.

[@Babyshark2469]

Exactly. I'm actually looking into the 2024 model now. I wouldn't give a 4 cylinder plus turbo Any though over the v6. 💯

[@bigd7386]

I think this is the first step in revising the QX60s powertrain lineup. Next year will be the full refresh of the QX60 along with the debut of the QX65. I am hoping the QX65 brings a new, more powerful engine option that will then be added as an option to the QX60. Notice they didn't update the logo to the new logo, which will likely come with the full refresh. I think they were forced to put the VC-turbo in the 2025 because the 2025 Pathfinder should be getting refreshed this year and it is for sure switching to the VC-turbo as well.

[@Naijaboyc]

The 2026 will be a proper facelift to match the qx65

[@KhrissyDaDon]

This is the only model keeping Infiniti afloat! The new Qx80 will probably give Infiniti some leverage as well!

Counterpoint: Does it really cost Infiniti (or any other manufacturer) to change the color of the wheel, the emblems, the roof rails, or the grille? The "blackout" package is $1,900 of almost pure profit for Infiniti. Seems like a step down for the engine. What are you getting in the Infiniti that justifies the higher price over the Nissan Pathfinder? Purely an interior difference?

For common sense purposes, if there are passengers in the third row, obviously the second row seats wouldn’t be all the way back like you have them.

[@chiemekaa]

The 2nd row was in the rearmost position. That's how they usually measure in their reviews. You would have more than sufficient 3rd row leg room adjusted for the 2nd row. Cargo space is actually decent for the class barring the TX and the MDX. The GV80's and the Q7's are smaller and it's practically nonexistent in the X5 and GLE equipped with a 3rd row.
