Has Infiniti FINALLY Hit Its Stride With The All-New 2022 QX60? It Really Surprised Me!

[@TFLnow]

Hey guys, quick (small) correction: At 2:27, the 2022 QX60 has a *3.5*-liter engine, not a 3.6 - it's the same displacement VQ35DD engine (with the same 295 horsepower) as before. Sorry for that slip-up!

I’m so glad they ditched the POS CVT! I’d now consider this if I was shopping for a SUV in this segment. Nissan has been a mixed bag for me so far. I’ve owned a 4 cylinder and a V6 Altima and a 350Z convertible. The two Altimas were fine for the first 30-40k miles, but were piles of crap after that. The 350Z was a fantastic experience though.

[@jerrypride1800]

Same here, I've owned six cars, four of them have been Nissan's the last was a 2002 maxima. I traded it bc the gas mileage dropped at a certain vehicle mileage and I was no l0onger getting what i should have been even after tune-ups. Been with Mitsubishi ever since and I've been happy with them; a 2005 Galant and now a 2016 Outlander, but I must say I'm very interested in this vehicle and between this, the pathfinder, and the new outlander - all very similar idk yet, I have until next yr though so I've got some time to figure it out.

[@macbookpro57]

Dang massaging seats??? That might be worth the price of admission. You usually don’t see that unless you’re looking at an s class or something lol

[@jakes5530]

Maybe 10 years ago but now you can get them on most mid-level BMW’s like the 5 series/X5 and above, and most mid level Mercedes like the E class/GLE and above. Not to mention many Fords like the explorer platinum and most lincolns have them at least as an option. Theyre becoming way more common on anything around $65k.

[@kristians2704]

the Volvo XC60 and Genesis GV70 both offer massaging seats and are cheaper.

[@dedreandixon4620]

Going to have to join the few realizing that they weren't trying to fool anyone into thinking those are exhaust tips. More than anything just seems to be a continuation of the chrome from the front bumper. Also, chrome always stands out more in photos and videos versus in real life. It'll be interesting to see it in person...

You definitely shouldn't drive it like an ass or it won't last and we do the trans fluid and filter every 40k miles. Drives smooth and better mpg than any 3rd row suv. It's the cheapest SUV and easiest to work on that we've owned but it's definitely decent for what the price was. No problems with it, it has surprisingly been very reliable and we have 112k miles on it and still 1yr of warranty left. It's been paid off too so that's nice.

I'm looking forward to your driving impressions on 09/08 Alex 🙂. I have mixed feelings about the all new QX60, the rear is very closely similar to the Pathfinder. The fake exhaust trim pieces is too obvious that it's fake, especially against this particular exterior color. I'm surprised there's no quad exhaust on this Infiniti, anyhow, excellent first look video Alex 🙂.

[@dedreandixon4620]

Even though it is based on the Pathfinder, I think the similarities end at the (common) orientation of the tail/signals/reverse lights and the black bar. They are shaped completely different... the QX60 is much more fluid and sculpted and actually has a more raked rear window compared to the Pathfinders more boxy and upright look. I think this will be more obvious in person. I am also wondering if the QX60s roofline is lower towards the rear. I really don't think they were attempting a fake exhaust, seems more of a continuation of the chrome from the front end.

Nothing Infiniti makes is worthwhile these days, especially compared to Genesis and the Germans.
