I Tried Not To Compare This QX60 to THAT - 2023 Infiniti QX60 Autograph AWD Review

[@pinoykidstoyschannel4722]

Beautiful SUV! Infiniti did a great job with the exterior and interior design.

[@AutoAcademics]

I agree!

[@Earl_roy]

Thank God, someone did a very good review! I will buy this tomorrow, wish me luck!

[@AutoAcademics]

Good luck and thanks for watching, Roy Keith!

[@Earl_roy]

@@AutoAcademics thank you! Bought a new one (autograph trim) and i love t.

[@AutoAcademics]

@@Earl_roy Congratulations!

[@ma7mgte]

I had one of those Blackberrys. I'm not sure what's up with YT, but your vids never show in my feed. I have to go looking for it. Worth the search tho!

[@AutoAcademics]

Thank you, SupraX. I hear that often from other KZbinrs. I glad to hear you continue to look for our videos, though. More coming soon!

I'm here for the Blackberry references, hahaha! 🙂

[@AutoAcademics]

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching, JAX!

[@baldheadlogic]

Great Review Chris. This is a nice redo of the QX60. This just a little too close to the Pathfinder in my opinion. I know other brands use a similar platform but they hid it better. For example: 2023 Honda Pilot vs 2023 Acura MDX.

[@AutoAcademics]

Yeah, there's no hiding the family genes with this one, canonlybeme4life. Fortunately, the Pathfinder is good enough that it doesn't show poorly on the QX60. Thanks for watching!

[@ThePhillynavy]

I just notice this today, I was going to buy the qX60 but its the Pathfinder

[@richardsanders3750]

Toyota highlander Lexus RX350. Same.

[@thatinformativeguy]

@@richardsanders3750 The RX350 L is similar. The regular RX350 is smaller, lighter, and faster.

Great review! Brought back memories with the Blackberry storm! 😂 #Goodtimes I usually don't comment about the cars on these reviews but I don't see a point in Infiniti anymore. Back in the 90's and 2000's Infiniti was the go to premium brand. Now you might as well just get a top trim Nissan and call it a day. 🤷🏾‍♂️ RIP Infinti 🪦⚱️

[@AutoAcademics]

I think that both companies are coming into their own again, Mr. Clarke. While Nissan is back to offering a quality product, Infiniti definitely ups the ante with more luxury, so it depends on what you're looking for in a vehicle. I'm happy to see both brands moving forward again. Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@eleanormassaro5195]

@@AutoAcademics even though the QX50 is pricey, I do like the looks and I do think it looks definitely more elegant than the Pathfinder!

[@AutoAcademics]

@@eleanormassaro5195 Totally agree!

[@giuseppemalleo]

Long time Nissan fan but didn't care much and gave up my '19 Pathfinder. Kept my current '06 Pathfinder 200K. In market for new vehicle eventually but dont feel price or quality of either Pathfinder or QX60 worth price tag. Mazda Cx90 seems great competitor. Smart move with AWD based on Rear wheel drive Mazda. Would love to see Nissan/Infinity go back to Rear wheel base AWD. I do give Nissan /Infinity props on bring back automatic transmission. Still seems a bit like CVT when I test drove '23 Pathfinder. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@demarcianohudley9354]

Bro I went with the pathfinder because of the fog lamps

[@cisco9027]

What’s the 0-60?

[@thatinformativeguy]

I wanna love it, but the just $50,000 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum is screaming at me too, don’t worry.😂 Don’t even get me started with the Genesis GV80 that also still costs less than this.

[@AutoAcademics]

Nice to have options, isn't it? Thanks for watching!

[@jz7551]

Such a beautiful car! And it rides smoothly

[@paulm6481]

Very fair statement around it being tough not to compare to Pathfinder. I mean same engine and transmission and even gauges! I like the Pathfinder looks more rugged and honest and prefer it to this puffed up front end. Infiniti needs a major redo here to be competitive with Acura and Lexus. Honestly it is just a placeholder.

[@paulm6481]

Which Infiniti model did you own 20 years ago?

[@AutoAcademics]

Hey, Paul M, I had a 2003 FX35. Absolutely loved that thing, as it was a lovely mix of crossover and G35. Sounded great, too! I kept it about 8 years then sold it for my Caddy wagon. Thanks for watching!

[@paulm6481]

@@AutoAcademics I remember those. A bit small but so sporty and sexy. It was a great vehicle when Nissan and Infiniti made great vehicles. Good to know you are a gearhead.

[@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.

[@haze1123]

I like this Infiniti a lot... But those big fake exhaust things on the back look horrific.

[@AutoAcademics]

Ha! Yeah, manufacturers have been doing this for quite a while now. Some look ok, some don't, haze1123. Thanks for watching!

[@XX-166]

As added info to your subscribers.. why don’t you include the maroney label..showing it and going over ANY options that are on the vehicles you’re reviewing including the final price.

[@AutoAcademics]

Thank you, X X. While we don't show the monroney, we do list the options , as well as the total M.S.R P. as seen here: 3:35 Thank you for your suggestions and for watching!

[@XX-166]

@@AutoAcademics so why not show the maroney?? Let the viewers see what these vehicles have instead of your condensed version…. Honest all around info for buyers not just a daily drive video.

[@AutoAcademics]

@@XX-166 Believe it or not, the monroneys are rather small print and we figured there wouldn't be much interest in a static shot of a piece of paper, as opposed to actually showing the optional features on the vehicle. It's something we can take in to consideration and see if other viewers find it as useful as you do. Again, we appreciate your suggestion, X X.

[@XX-166]

@@AutoAcademics Actually if youre reviewing these cars they obviously don’t belong to you so it would be very simple to have these window stickers and show them perhaps before the drive and go over the basics and then the options for the particular vehicle and finally ending with the pricing for said vehicle in the video.

[@MrTblackmon]

I’m not a fan of this Infiniti QX60. It reminds me too much of the Nissan Pathfinder; although, the Infiniti looks much better in my opinion.

There are a lot of similarities, but the Infiniti is a definitely more luxurious. Thanks for watching!
