2017 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport - The Next Step in Autonomous Driving?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2017
- Under that sleek sheetmetal and potent twin-turbo V6 houses one of the most advanced driver assistance tech on the market. Although Tesla's autopilot may get all the attention, Infiniti's predictive forward collision alert has the ability to scan the road ahead of the car in front of you to keep you and your passengers out of trouble. Combined with the second-generation of the company's highly controversial "direct adaptive steering" and the latest Q60 previews the next generation of autonomous driving, whether you like it or not.

In terms of styling Infinity is so good this car looks way better than any Mercedes
Jose Mendoza Infiniti
As some one that loves German engineering, this is a damn good looking car ! I personally drive a bmw but when I see this car on the roads I’m always amazed how far ahead of its time it is. By that I mean this look will never age for a LONG time.
These cars need a clutch an actual standard gear. I hate triptronic cause anybody can change gears in triptronic but when ur driving standard it is an art n a skill
Facts. I traded in my C300 for this. No regrets! Car is so much fun and design is better in my opinion.
5:45 The great thing about the Tech Package is that it monitors two-cars ahead so if the guy in front of you is not watching and the car in front of him slams on the brakes, the nanny systems will detect that and stop alert you by flashing and setting off a notification on the screen. Very cool. I've had that kick in a couple of times and it's great.
I'm a happy owner of a 2017 Q60 3.0t Sport Graphite Shadow with Tech. I
couldn't care less if others dislike the car. I bought this car because
it's sleek and I was having a blast while test driving it. This car is
fun to drive and got more stare. I work in Irvine, CA and got
compliments from people who have BMWs, Merc AMG 63 and Audi S5 at
Irvine Spectrum.
Dexter Zafra people that dislike this car have no taste
To infiniti and Beyond
How's the computer system on yours? I'm leasing a 2016 Q50 3.0T model, and mine seems to be very sluggish and slow, sometimes it freezes too. I'm debating to trade it in for another Q50 next year based on this.
Same. I love mine and get asked about it several times a day.
Davarious Parker should be a sticker lol
I own the '17 Q60 Red Sport. You literally hit 100% of my complaints and loves of this car. From the cheap paddle shifters, to the slow-to-respond 7 speed auto-trans, to the too-skinny tires, to the infotainment system, to the aged map graphics to the awesome motor, gorgeous site-lines, etc. You nailed it all. Good, honest review. Only thing I would say is that a non-lagged launch is possible from a stop by depressing the brake and the gas, blipping the RPMs to about 3,000 and letting go of the brake. This results in some wheel spin as the turbo is fully engaged, but if you feather the gas a bit, you can minimize wheel spin and knock a half second off your 0-60 time easily.
Using Infiniti QX56 and a G37 for last 5-6 years very very reliable vehicles
This car is hot!
No, Lexus IS-F is hotter.
No dude. If this and the IS-F was the same price used, I'd get this. Looks fucking incredible in person.
Estrading Co I'm sorry, when did this discussion suddenly become about boats?
theshonen8899 Ikr. The G80 Sport has her charms, but she's a big girl. Light on her feet she is not
Chris Gnay you are too ;)
I drive a G37 and would love to upgrade to a Q60 but $60K? That's about $10K too much. Most Infiniti cars are leased and surrendered after the lease term is over. Save yourself a bundle of money and buy a preowned
Stephen Do not
Yeah that's a bit rough. I love the car and I guess it's worth it if I had it but damn.
EXCATLY, I would still take my old G37 over this one. Price is not on point. And that turbo lag is SOOOOOOO 2014 LOL
People think buying preowned saves you money. Better off buying new or at least with this I would consider leasing instead of financing it. You can still overpay with a preowned car if the deal you worked up is subprime.
Remember if you buy a preowned car like this, Do you think that the previous owner didn't push it to the limits?
wow, it's trippy seeing roads i recognize in your video! i grew up in that area and drove up and down river bend daily. such a great driving road. thanks for the vids (and nostalgia, i miss that road)! ;)
An example of Autonomous in a car is assisted turning. The computers read your speed, the curve, and the angle of your turn. Then it provides the steering control with you in real time to make it easy for yourself.
Love the sound of that engine 😍
5:05 Infiniti introduced all those "driver assist" to the industry... and they are THE most advanced also... not debatable.
Speaking of great lease deals...my 2017 Q50 Signature 3.0T was $2000/down and $330/month after taxes. Good luck getting any German competitor for anything near that price ;)
Aram Garibyan I'm sure you could get a c300 for that price.
Joseph Archibong c300 base
Dafuq? I'm paying 517$/month, 3000 down for my 19 Accord lmao
@@thientuong4450 good job mate you over paid for an accord....
@@thientuong4450 bruh that’s terrible..for an Honda Accord..you shoulda got a charger if that’s the case
*About your comment on the paddle shifters... The **_2018_** Q50 Sport / Red Sport sedans now also have the same plastic paddle shifters*
EDIT: The 2018 Red Sport Sedan has plastic paddle shifters but they look like brushed aluminum and are longer. They are steering wheel mounted like the rest of 2018's
Lizner09 That's too bad! :(
Lizner09 if they cut costs by changing to little pieces of aluminum to plastic, makes you wonder where else they have cut costs, I mean how many aluminum cans would it take to make a pair of paddle shifters lol. even Mitsubishi still uses aluminum.
Lizner09
Nissan has become famous fit fucking up good things
Steve Franklin
They use magnesium but, if aluminum is cheaper? Use that! I'll take that over plastic. I wonder if I can retrofit the GTR paddles. Though I hate they're on the steering wheel too. At least they're metal.
These are truly sad times we live in.
This review nailed it. Drove one today and walked away feeling the same way. Great car by the way
The Q60 Red Sports has the most powerful engine in the class. However, it does not necessarily mean it has the best engine in the class.
I love my G so much. Sad to see so many differences from the original. I still love it.
I love my G too! I also love the Q50 and Q60 design.
Right. The new design. Is futuristic and more modern but it doesn't look like the previous generation really at all.
I agree, it does not look like the previous gen. I like the direction of it. The refresh on the Q50 is really nice, imo. I have my G vinyl wrapped, looks almost like your blue color except lighter.
VQ3713 Nice! An I also like the new design myself. Either way I can't complain. Lol.
This Car is gorgeous!
I'm pretty sure Tesla will update their autopilot as well Mercedes. Those 2 are the best in the business.
I own a q50s, I love it but this q60 is ahead of the game, only thing is dislike is the cheap paddle shifters
Static Alpha you can swap them. Many folks are using the ones from totaled g37s.
Still my dream Infiniti coupe car I can buy.
The Merc S-Class is the most autonomous vehicle available. In certain cities, it can literally make turns at intersections with stop lights. Its incredible.
sargvsu I hate Mercedes bi there system is good but have you heard of Tesla
Great review! Thanks bro and greetings from Mexico
My heart jumps whenever he takes both hands off the steering wheel
3:30 I disagree on the transmission at 10/10ths. When pushed moderately hard to hard, the car shifts great. Up and down shifts are not an issue when driving the car hard. It's around town in every day driving that I wish it was a dual clutch or the newer ZF 8 speed auto. If you drive normal or soft the transmission matches that which in one respect doesn't matter but I do love the crispness of a better transmission even when driving normally. Otherwise, again, WOT or in fun times, it's fine.
He nitpicks a lot in this video but he totally on the money! Great job keeping us informed Sofyan 🤘
The original G was..........an OG!
You could jump in and go fast right away. It was like you had been together for 10 years.
Great rack and feedback at all times. This is faster, but not necessarily better.
Lmaooo why did he get so mad about the paddles
Seeing this car in person makes me want one!! I wish they would redesign the sedan. A refresh is overdue
I too would take this car in red or blue over silver, but it is a STUNNING car!
In the last 2 years I have become an Infiniti fan, especially the G35 Coupe and it's recent Q60 3.0T replacement (which I test drove less than a year ago). Though I prefer Coupes the styling on the new Q50 Sedan is also very attractive.... Rear Wheel drive, great performance, and from what I can tell so far great reliability gives these cars great bang for the buck. I absolutely love my G35s.
Dude you literally drove past my house. Can’t believe you’re driving through the good ole streets of great falls. I knew the roads and that park looked familiar
I didn't really get much of a review about the autonomous drive. It would be nice to have someone to assist you in terms of having car in front driving then coming to complete stop so we can see how it works. Then show us highway drive on how the lane keep assist works. That's how infiniti separate itself from the competion by offering DAS steering and autonomous drive features because all cars can take you from point A to point B. The vehicle seems to be an anti accident machine so that's why it's priced close to it's german rivals. If i have to buy this car, it would be for 3 reasons: 1. Anti accident car. 2. Less driver fatigue on long trips. 3. Looks and the power. To engineer a car with all these features, infiniti should go beyond the drive and partner with insurance companies to lower insurance rates on their q60 with their tech package since it have all those active safety tech.
Damn impressive review, you are one knowledgeable dude.
my dream car! So beautiful!!!!
another great review sofyan i love it thank u
You nailed it. It leases well, that's how they're going to compete. Especially now that BMW killed their MSD program.
Jaguar also leases well. Fully loaded XE-S in the 500 dollar range with 0 down.
A similar BMW was at least 150$ higher per month.
Khalid Carrillo never lease a car...
Josef Griveas the majority of luxury cars are leased.
Dumb lol. There are definitely reasons to lease. Mainly if you can deduct it from your taxes as a business expense.
Correct. My 328xi lease just ended. Crossed shopped all the European competitors and was about to lease a new 330xi. At the last minute decided to test drive a Q50 RS and loved it. A fully loaded RS lease with all the tech that wasn't available in my old BMW was cheaper. The RS is a blast to drive, especially w the run flat tires swapped out. I'm so happy w the Q50. Never thought I would ever own an Infiniti
It sounds like buying it used and putting more soundproofing in it, and maybe getting a better display and materials to replace those plastics (carbon fiber?) would really make this a great car. Personally, having owned a Maxima and driven it on terrible Canadian roads, I could do without the steering feel (or having to adjust 10 times a second).
The Q50 Red Sport AWD is 4.2 0-60, 4.5 sec is the RWD model.
Keep up the awesome videos
Love the color combo
You review good cars alot of details great job
As always, great review. I've held off for the last ten or so videos, but I really need to get this out there; Sofyan, when you do your walk-around it's like the OIS on your camera is turned off. It feels kinda, doe-dee-doe, doe-dee-doe around the car. I've looked back at some older vids and they walk-around is much smoother. Maybe you could put your camera on a gimbal, it wouldn't feel like you were filming on the open sea. But, as I said before, still putting out great car reviews. 👍🏼
I like how test the predicable brake system by just casually going behind the truck! Haha
Good review! I agree with everything you said. Their infotainment system is really slacking compared to other 2017 cars of that level.
Excellent review. Subscribed.
DAS issues and complaints to me are a first world problem. I had electric steering in my 2014 S4 and loved it. The "road feel" everyone misses is great and I am old enough to have driven my fair share of cars that communicated the road, but in every day daily drivers, that feedback can get old once you've spent time with a smooth and seamless electric steering system. The benefits IMO far outweigh the drawbacks.
In terms of the infotainment system, I agree that it might look a bit dated compared to the over-tech looking stuff coming out, but it does a great job and let's face it, the car is relatively inexpensive compared to many others boasting the latest tech. I had a wonderful 3D Google Earth mapping system in my Audi and rarely used it. Let's face it, Waze and it's 2005 graphics just work, work way way faster and announce police and other social media items. So while they could make the graphics nicer and add car-play/Android play, users will then just be interfacing with 2005 looking maps from their phones. six and one half as they say.
I think most people, like my self love the car outside of the Steer by Wire feature and loose back end. The Crappy tires are what gives it that brake free feeling, and the Steer by Wire can be deactivated possibly for a better authentic feel. I'm in the market now for a q50, but I want the 3.7 version AWD S model and I will boost it myself. I love the way the car looks. That's what infinity sold me on. It's definitely enough to get me to stop buying Acuras.
I was falling in love with the Q60 but as soon as he mentioned price I was like hell no....can't afford that
Check out the CPO Q60's
Thank you for focusing on the instrument cluster and the infotainment system. The maxima has a much nicer set up. The cluster esp the little square display between the guard are absolutely a deal breaker on otherwise a beautiful car. With Audi having a 3d customizable cockpit I don't understand how Infiniti over looked this, they have been using this since 06!
U have my dream job
S Jamil cumguzzling?
L'A Nation stop.
I love the lines on this car.
I usually like this reviewer, but he seems a bit biased in my opinion, he give rave reviews for german cars (Audi, BMW) and less than good reviews for other manufacturers (Toyota..etc), he seems to be like that other reviewer at TFL cars. He likes "firm" rides of Audi or BMW and thinks that's how a "sports car" should be but a firm ride in an Infiniti or other car is "too harsh". He likes when BMW or Audi gives you "Run flats" but doesn't like it in an Infiniti. The interior of Infiniti looks dated, have you seen the interior of a BMW? Audi, I agree has an amazing interior. I also noticed no reviewer comments on long term reliability of cars of different manufacturers and thats almost across the board. I am not sure Audis, Mercedes and BMWs are the most reliable, I don't know if Infiniti is reliable as well, so I am genuinely seeking this information.
Redouane Boumendjel Infiniti shares the reliability of the parent brand (Nissan) which is total shit. In Consumer Reports Nissan and Infiniti consistently hold down the bottom 4th quadrant in reliability scores.
You can't use consumer reports as reliability indicator, they are mostly focused on how many seniors had issues with using technology in new cars. They should stick to reviewing toasters. Mechanically infiniti is 100 times more reliable than anything out of Germany and no they don't share reliability score with Nissan as an average infiniti shares almkstnno parts with Nissan so nothing of what you said makes any sense, congrats.
@Redouane Boumendjel - that’s because he’s a snob. He’s that guy you hate in Starbucks standing in front of you ordering skimmed milk with his flappachinno Santiago latte 🤣
cityking9ne So true. If you look at the inner workings and details of the new 340i's engine, you'll see that it has been excessively engineered for maximum output and other goals, but at the expense of reliability. It'll run awesome for the lease term of 3 years, but after that when things start to break (VANOS, water pumps, heat management module) you'll be frequenting your local shop that is making a killing on all European makes. Ever wonder why there are BMW or Audi specialist shops? That's why.
AGree 100%. Loved my S4 and I was very involved in the communities for it but as a platform it was expensive to fix and not anywhere near as reliable as the Japanese makes. It was a great 3yrs of fun but it was time to move on.
PLEASE could you do the Hybrid Version I'm looking into getting that but no ones really done a hybrid on the Q50. Great content too ☺
So should I buy a Lexus IS 350F sport 2016? Or a Q60 2017?🤔
I’m gonna get mine in 3 months... Can’t wait
Are you sure you're doing a review on the driver assist features? Because it sounds like you're doing a performance review!
What’s the price range for an oil change on one of these ?
I got the q60 premium pkg 3.0t do wish I had cool seats other than that love all the other options real fun car.
1:15 that's all I want to know...😁😁😁.. good video..
I got a neighbor that has a fresh q60 and damn when I park my 04 g coupe next to it they look goooood
It it was between this and the rc350 I'd choose the Lexus, that car is absolutely gorgeous 😍. I currently have a 3.7L v6 infinity g37 and I love my baby but I have to admit I would not think twice about giving her up for a rc350.
According to Infiniti themselves, the paddle shifters on the 2018 Q50 3.0t Sport and Red Sport 400 are magnesium alloy infinitinews.com/en-US/infiniti/usa/presskits/us-2018-infiniti-q50-press-kit perhaps they will do the same with the 2018 Q60.
Infinity just has a wow factor that's hard to match.
Hey Sofyan, with Genesis' replacement for the old Hyundai Genesis Coupe still completely under wraps, is there any particular short list of features you hope for it to have? Aside from the obvious power/performance.
Gangrel115 We can't wait for Genesis to reveal that vehicle but it's still probably 2 years away. We'd like to see it offer AWD, come with the 2.0T and 3.3T engine options, and keep the manual transmission. The manual is probably not going to happen, but it would surprise us if it did. Obviously, this new version is going to be far more upmarket versus the old Genesis Coupe but that's okay, it needs to be. We'd like to see a starting price around $35,000.
My uncle just got one in blue with black interior. He got if from Infiniti of Cerritos, came home and he gave me permission 2 drive it and it was F.U.N.!
What are those headlights called when it's just blinking like that what mode is it or what is it
Love my 3.0t Premium Awd but I'll be trading it for the Red Sport in a couple years when and if there are better changes.
I love the Nissan feel. Exactly why I buy it!!!
Amazing car! Beautiful!
it's beautiful with all its modern technology, just thinking if it's gonna be trouble free in the next five years or so???
That predictive forward collision alert system is really impressive. So it won't let you hit the car in front of you even if you tried?
If your assistants are on it won't, but you can disable them ofc
That button would come in handy since im watching this while driving
Would never buy a car brand new when I’m ready to upgrade from my g35 after college I’ll look for this 😂
bro g35 has a way better engine then the newer models. That's why i refuse to sell mine. Yes the q60 may be fast but thats because it is turbo charged. The g35 spit 310 hp without any turbos. That's impressive.
You still do the best reviews on the internet. You cant test all models and all options or lack of them. You usually get the top of the line.....Not a great thing.
test drove one it doesnt seem solid a bit of slight lag on shifts but it does pickup quick. i'll get one when its twin turbo manual without that electronic shit still love my g37
It's a really good looking car
Could we have a Renault sport car share Q60 platform ?
now if they can add the dual clutch transmission from GTR this car would definitely a seller.. the engine has a lot of potential, the infotainment system is ok, (needs a new update) reduce the turbo lag and add a launch control.. now you have a best sports car for a good price. #justsaying.
any word on the 18 q60? will it also be receiving the mid-model refresh like the 18 q50?
really the q60 just came out a year ago no
I love that power but I have a feeling not everyone is gonna be okay with their car driving them instead of them being in control.
Where are those roads? They look amazing. Address please
I've driven a 2005 G35 coupe for 9 years. I'm drooling on my lap right now.
Btw, if this was the g35 coupe in the rain, you would've crashed at least 4 times. Is there any way to disable the vdc?
Why does Redline Reviews not do overviews of BMW?
I can't help but cringe each time your hands are off the steering wheel. Great review keep up the good work.
That is dope lowkey went i was at the infiniti dealership i went in all the cars my fav car was the Suv and i luv the infiniti sport car i went in all the cars to
You talk about the car braking when adaptive cruise is off.I think adaptive cruise and collision avoidance are two different systems.
Sofyan... any plans to do a review of the new Kia Stinger?
My favorite car
why do you accelerate into the left turn?
Won't upgrade from my G35 6mt Sedan until Infiniti puts another 6mt back in their cars. Until then I'll boost the vq35 once it blows up. But if it was *any* I wish had the 6mt now was this 3.0t. It's a great engine.
Slight correction. Infinity also dropped the magnesium, column mounted paddles on the the latest Q50 Redsport. Dumb decision. I sent my complaints to corporate and they told me that they don't accept "unsolicited" advice, LOL!
I thought it made sense to have them steering wheel mounted?
VQ3713 column shifters replicate F1 race cars...those have them on the column. Some people may like it on the steering wheel. However, its not right in regard to replicating the sportiness of a race car. The demographic targeted in these new q's is different. They are targeting older drivers, not young ones. So it's less sport and more "luxury."
chigasaki06 got it, thank you.
What car does Sofyan personally drive?
Review the Infiniti Q70L
I drive a honda accord coupe. are these cars easy to own like a Lexus or are they a pain like BMW? I like the Q60 more then the lexus RC. but i dont want a car thats makes you cry every time you go to the dealership.
I like the style, the only problem is the infotainment.
I love infiniti cars this cars are better then lexus and other
The only thing I dnt like about the car is the very bottom portion of the front fascia. NISSAN is known to make the beginning of a new model look good but hold back a little then BOOM 3 years into the model they will redesign it and in my opinion make it look sharper and more focused.
He's right with all these horses n gadget in it. It should have cool seats
Oh man i want this car so bad
Joshua Marcano then but it
romel 4life my car is worth $850. I am one of the brokest car enthusiasts you’ll ever know. I work and everything i just dont get paid a lot and dont know what to do about it.
How come you made the title 'next step in autonomous driving' when the car is not autonomous? Unless you were referencing all the safety features but alot of cars nowadays are getting all that so idk
