Five Good & Five Bad Things! 2022 Infiniti QX60 Review

[@Zero8880]

I've owned my QX60 for a week now and have absolutely zero issues with power. I actually find myself speeding most of the times and have to switch to ECO mode as to not speed. I am also just coming from a Lexus LC 500 which has a naturally aspirated 471hp V8 engine in it that pushes a respectable 0-60mph of around 4.7 seconds. I don't know whether it's because the shoes she is wearing or her particular vehicle or not.

[@pinoykidstoyschannel4722]

Or maybe it’s using a lower octane gas.

[@mereiriz]

I don’t have this problem either.

[@Pinkbombshell1]

We bought this car! Thanks for information! We have none of the issues you mentioned, which is curious? In Atl especially, the highways are treacherous. This car handles beautifully. The headrests in the back are maneuverable and removable. The buttons work well. We love this car❤

[@iChuxxy]

Seriously, I did a test drive today and that was the first thing I noticed but I decided to go back again tomorrow to test drive a different one to see if there’s a difference.

[@chino9468]

your issue with the power when you floored the gas pedal was because you weren’t flooring it all the way… so when you floor, there are actually 2 levels. kinda like an OD button under the gas pedal, so when you floor it, you can actually push down again and you’ll feel a click (2)you didn’t recline the 3rd row seat, you have it on the upright most position. it actually recliners some 14 degrees.. makes a HUGE difference (3) I’m with you on issue #3 (4)?? not sure it’s an issue with buttons, you’d still have to look. (5)😂😂 i can’t help you. -PS, you guy do amazing videos. if you can let me know if the remedies i pointed out helps, it’ll be awesome. thanks

[@jillciminillo]

Um. I really was flooring it all the way.

[@DP-po9lv]

@@jillciminillo I cant say if this is exactly the issue, but most new vehicles have a driving mode. Normally ECO mode drives this way and you would need to change it to a sport mode. Here is how to adjust the drive mode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5Daqp6GjLSnj9E

[@michaelbower8357]

Put it in sport.

[@markf8256]

Jill, I really appreciate your perspectives. My wife is also petite at 5’, but wow, those seats look like they are going to swallow you whole. The biggest issue we have when looking at an upscale replacement for our ‘13 Highlander is seat comfort, and not just the driver’s seat. We’re only interested in contenders with a strong v6, hence pushing us into the premium models, but even so, seat comfort has varied significantly between brands/models.

[@ervistonbowen4099]

It's so true they tend to favor Lexus and Acura more , they make very light comments about them . But Infinit they go after very hard.

[@khatlest11]

I compared, and test drove the QX60, the Acrua MDX and the Lexus RX. After carful consideration, we decided to go with and purchase the QX60. All three of the cars were great, but the QX60 was better in most categories--it's bigger, more luxurious, quieter, and has a much better infotainment system (the MDX trackpad is awful). Plus, the QX60 is a better looking too (subjective).. We don't understand what you mean by the lack of power (it's got 300hp)? The headrests adjust. The smooth flat controls with haptic feedback are great. We didn't experience any of the issues you mentioned. It seems our were reaching and looking to find things wrong with the vehicle to support a Acura/Lexus/German bias?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Eh, no bias. Just different views.

[@alycat9186]

I’m 5’1”. This was an EXCELLENT video for me specifically since I had no idea how bad of a driving position and nightmare this car would be for me!! And it’s gonna be MY car, not my husband’s. Guess I gotta cross this one off. Also, the headrest on the 3rd row is HORRENDOUS. When my in laws come I would be the one in the back and I would be in such a bad mood sitting in an uncomfortable position. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving an honest review!! I also saw a consumer complaint about the lagging when passing and I thought well maybe that was a fluke. Good to know it’s actually not a fluke before dropping all that money!!

[@donniechen8718]

I love this video, she hits all the point and I am quitting the mind of buying this car.

[@lolig5898]

She just wants to say something bad I had this car for 6 months It’s great

[@ColJonSquall1]

Heh, I love when you and Tim do similar vids to TFL's "No, You're Wrong." debates, lol. As not everyone will agree on everything, and that's ok. We don't always have to.

[@jillciminillo]

Agree and thank you

[@hamdard4678]

Thanks for your honest info. I have the same problem with the seats even the backseats the second row are not comfortable. I have to use the cushion for a driver seat in order to sit on it so this way is making it much more comfortable otherwise infinity they screwed up big time. .

[@romegilliam9146]

I think your being a little hard on Nissan/Infiniti. Some of the issues you have with Nissan/Infiniti are issues you don't find with Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura.

[@braut34]

No one talks about the front head rest they don't look comfortable. Did mention the back. Your the first person to talk about.

[@nismokid2533]

Power is a problem.. really? The power is one of the reasons why I’m buying this. Test drove one yesterday, buying it this weekend. Of all the suvs I tested this one was the most responsive. Maybe you had the SUV in eco-mode..?

[@canhelp2001]

The 3rd-row seat can change the back angle easily, which will make the headrest comfortable

[@Amron10149]

I also owned the Qx60 for 3 months now and also have absolutely no issues with the power. I also find my speeding most of the time. I find this review makes no sense and this woman is trying to outdo her colleague with the review and have the last word. She is trying to find faults about this wonderful suv. This is the reason I’m no longer subscribed to this channel.

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

Yea, I disagree with all her "bad things". I think she just doesn't like Infiniti. I am evaluating the car

[@MrSuperksp]

Thanks for the honest review! You both are awesome 👏

[@themagicalfamily3105]

Totally agree with you on the sluggishness when merging on the freeway even on standard mode...No instant torque on ma new qx60

[@Rhodeislander]

Mine started losing the black plastic trail pieces around drivers door. Started in front of mirror on highway. Week later the large piece behind driver window flew off. Look like black double stick tape peels away, then plastic clips snap. Still waiting for service to tell me if it’s a warranty issue? I would assume so? Just go check yours before they come off.

[@gregkimura5906]

This is the first time I've watched a video by Jill. I'm impressed with her evaluation of this car. Why? I'm in agreement with what she said. It's not that the car is bad - it isn't. It's just not special, like a luxury vehicle should be. As a previous owner of an Infiniti, I know there are things that I both like and dislike about their vehicles. I know this will get some people upset, but I find that their cars are simply not as good as Lexus or Acura; the companies I consider to be their main competitors. I've owned many Lexus cars and I feel they're the best Japanese Luxury brand. Notice that I wrote brand - here's what I mean. If you combine all the aspects of a vehicle company, Lexus beats both Acura and Infiniti. Longevity, reliability, cost of ownership, depreciation, comfort, quietness, power, elegance, handling, build quality, ergonomics, etc. All the things that I think of when buying a vehicle. The Infiniti I owned came between two Lexus cars. I'll admit that I made a mistake buying the Infiniti, because I liked the uniqueness, features and power of the car. In exchange for those things, I gave up a lot (most of the things on my list above). If you want an honest opinion of the car, I feel that Jill did a great job. I am definitely going to listen to other reviews of hers.

[@LcKing25]

Finally! Someone giving this car a honest review. I’ve thought about getting this car in exchange for my bimmer but I think I’m changing my mind. The don’t seem as great as I thought it’d be but it looks nice. Thanks for this review lol 😅

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nismokid2533]

The bimmers reliability issues. X7 has a LONG list of problems.

[@paulsantos6237]

You can recline the 3rd row and adjust the head rest.

[@bobcook8576]

A power wheels, Barbie Jeep, would be a better fit for Jill. Kidding aside my wife of 5'3" loves her qx60 autograph. Plenty of power and the interior is so luxurious. Coming from a subaru outback, this qx60 is the bomb. Jill missed so many key features in this one. 2nd row tilts forward with a car seat and the 3rd row reclines.

[@noniespam]

Jill, just wondering on the petite size person does the steering wheel move in and out like in the palisade?? That could help getting you farther from the wheel…Also does it have a CVT or a real transmission?? Would not consider any vehicle especially of that size with a CVT.

[@jillciminillo]

9-sp transmission … and the steering wheel was all the way in. So no help there.

[@noniespam]

@@jillciminillo thanks

[@HVACOG]

How do you like the start/stop? Ours is choppy

[@Rhodeislander]

Horrible, should be a disable option.

[@vainight]

I’m 5’1 and currently drive a Chevy Tahoe. I don’t need all the space the Tahoe provides , so I’ve been looking at a crossover option and the QX60 is such a beautiful car. I’m super disappointed to see how uncomfortable your driving position is. I’m spoiled in my Tahoe having adjustable pedals. I LOVE that feature. I’m not sitting right on top of the steering wheel. I wish more car manufacturers incorporated adjustable foot pedals. It makes such a difference. Where’s the suggestion box for adjustable pedals to infinit?

[@WadeSmart]

You had similar driving position problems in the Titan - which is why my wife and I skipped a really good deal on one. Do you feel that over the entire Nissan family that this is something, more often than not, is a problem for smaller drivers?

[@jillciminillo]

I do actually. Especially on their larger vehicles.

[@Zero8880]

You passed on a good deal based on one stranger's opinion on a vehicle she doesn't even own, and probably drove for a weekend or two? The only thing I might have agreed with was the 3rd row headrest, but even then, there is a workaround if you recline the seats. They can recline quite a bit it, it's not rocket science. At the end of the day, take it out for a test drive and see for yourself. Try not to listen to someone on KZbin whose only qualifying traits is their height lol.

[@WadeSmart]

@@Zero8880 wow.. assumptions all over there CIRCLE DUDE!

[@kdlange6052]

its would be nice to have the the option of three across seating in the third row, it's sister SUV Pathfinder offers it and the captains chairs, the palisade offers it as well and ventilated second row option in the palisade too that Infiniti does not

[@lisah4425]

Jill, related to the power needed for merging/passing, which mid-size luxury SUV (or larger compact crossover) meets your standards? I'm on the hunt!

[@coolkami]

The issue regarding touch controls and piano black is a common issue across all manufacturers and not just Nissan. I am not sure why this trend doesn’t go away as it is no safe while driving, if you think Infiniti is bad you should try Audi, Cherokee and few others, at least Infiniti gives you AC and radio knob and also haptic feedback. I think hands down the best user interface belongs to Mercedes GLE.

[@paulsantos6237]

I agree with Tim not to agree with all of her bad complaints. Lol

[@yankobakalov]

I disagree with two things. Firstly the sensitivity of the dashboard is better than the more sensitive touchpad of the Lexus - try to choose something if the road is a bit bumpy. About the power - yes it's not the most powerful car, but here we have an adaptive gas pedal. That is, if you drive leisurely for a long time, the car will behave like that, and if you need to accelerate quickly, you must switch to sports mode. But if you drive aggressively, the car starts to behave like that and you don't need sports mode. About the driver's seating position is a long topic and my wife sits like that and I always wonder how she sees the dashboard.

[@perrywiggins6567]

“He’s an average man.” 😢 Tim has heard that a lot in life.

[@kevinayres6553]

Put in sport mode.

[@regmatt]

The headrest looks like they copied from Mitsubishi outlander , whoever put that headrest design dono what they were thinking to make a suv better ...

[@Ali_Dan47]

That's because Nissan also helped Mitsubishi made outlander

[@The-fs5wn]

They totally aped the Aviator’s design, and yet somehow isn’t nearly as good looking.

[@Retired-in-Osoyoos]

Let’s hope you stop soon!

[@braut34]

It needs mufflers not chrome. Looks like they went cheap. Ran out of money let's put something else there.

[@Zero8880]

It looks so much better on the Luxe trim, along with the wheels imo.

[@anjansingh3093]

You are not a good driver when you say 'Aggressive passing'. In CA you will NOT get a DL at all with this taste.

[@MickyLion5527]

you are disturbed and need medical attention to call QX60 a bad vehicle

[@rockhard9369]

The rear headrest was funny. 🤣
