The Q60 is probably one of the best looking car on the road at any price. Every time I see one I always turn my head or stop to look at it. The interior needs some work though. I don’t really mind the dual screens. It’s hilarious to me that everyone seems to hate the dual screen set up from the Older Acura Models and this Q60 but praise Audi and Mercedes for having screen overload. If Infiniti would upgrade the materials slightly it would be a great buy although I still think it is. I would by this in a heart beat over the 3 or 4 series BMW Coupé.
As an owner of a '17 Q60 Red Sport AWD, I've been modding my Q for the 3+ years. The after market has really come around to support this CV37 platform - EMM Tuning, Fast Intentions, AMS Performance, ConceptZ Performance, SpecialtyZ, Pure Turbos, Level10, RS-R Suspension, SPL Parts, Whitehead Performance, Z1 Motorsports, Smart Autokits - all great vendors to personalize your Q.
Yeah the interiors are tired designs, they are behind the times on features for the price, quality is poor, and the biggest fault for me in the power. Similar displacement turbo six engines push out way more power from the competition.
Typical Infiniti. They refuse to fully-bake a luxury vehicle. Which is a shame because every time I catch one of these on the street, it always turns my head. Very striking design. But the interior is closer to Nissan than what is expected of luxury cars, and some of the early Red Sports had some serious reliability issues.
@@hellkitty1014 no, I have worked for infiniti they listen to customers. They dont complain much. Before they was saying we want better DAS, then it was bose, then apple carplay, then it was new radio. Then look at the QX80 first the complain about styleing in 2017 they fixed in in MY2018 then they complained about the old radio, then the next year fixed it, then 2019 people complained about what happen to the limited trim, added that. They added new 7 inch driver TFT screen, and new screen on the QX80. I will agree they should do more on the updating cars side, but the main reason this has happened is Carlos Gosten he rain Infiniti into the ground. He told that "oh we need to fix Nissan before we fix Infiniti, then he fired a bunch of high up people, then they fired a bunch of high ups lasts year. That being said that's going to push things back until model year 2021 or 2022. What they been talking is a few things. 1. added the VCT engine to the q50/q60. 2. QX55. 3. making a true Infiniti performance line(what is going to be call is anyone guess) 4. adding more models (Q70, QX70, Q40 or Q30, and the rumored QX90) the QX90 would be a long wheeled based SUV. Also they been planning on adding EV cars to the model and using electric cars as a option, also improving pro pilot assist. Also INFINITI says we will be a Nissan plus, what that really means is its going to be a luxury brand like before, but offer cars that Nissan sells. so if you want a size car that Nissan sells but you think you want luxury brand then there will be a INFINITI version. One thing I do expect to see is not going to just be a badge job. Infiniti designer are looking to make it a big difference. your going to pay more so they will make it difference. At the same time there will be some parts sharing because if they dont their cars will cost like 90-150k like a tesla. People dont want to spend that kind of money so its a common place in the car business. No body give audi problem when the do that. I really believe INFINITI will be fine just got to be patient.
Joseph Neubauer Sales and revenue are going down on Infiniti. It’s too late for them. People are only getting Infiniti only because it’s cheap. People are signing Q50 lease for less than $300 a month these days with absolutely nothing due at signing.
It’s a beautiful car. Its flaw is the 7 speed. Nissan needs to put their new 9 speed in all Infiniti models. Infiniti is the only Japanese luxury automaker that offer a twin turbocharged V6 in their entry level models. Lexus and Acura are still using their old and heavy 3.5 V6 engines.
The Q60 red sport has always been my dream car. I just keep talking myself out of it for practicality reasons. This car with the aftermarket Tesla Style infotainment screen is a game changer.
What do you mean by practicality, like the amount of people you can fit in there or the trunk space. Or just other issues. Cuz this is my dream car too and want this to be my next car but just curious what other issues do you have with this car ?
Aye one of the best looking cars at any price point let alone one that is relatively affordable for most. As far as sales go the Q50/60 sell about 30-40K units year and sell at pretty solid margins so it does a lot for the brand, granted no single car would ever sell an automaker. With that said I think Nissan is going the right direction with the brand if the recent updates are any indication.
BigHeadClan not to much the big impact it has on VQ enthusiasts and the amount of modifications you can do to the Q50/60 these models are highly loved and valued
@@wyw201 transmission is okay, of course BMW 8 speed is better, but the price for a 6 cylinder BMW 440i is $20000 more than this car. Stock run flats will last about 25k km, then you need to buy new tires anyway.
@@billz6069 @Bill Z I like my Q50's interior too. The 7 speed could be jerky once in a blue moon, but haven't done so for a long time. I don't know how I did it but surprisingly my stock 19" run flats have lasted 50k miles, and could possibly go another 5k to 10k miles.
One of the few cars whose style alone just might be able to sell me. Love the looks that much. I think I could live with the “muscle car” driving demeanor. The factory-installed sport exhaust is a must-have, though.
The exterior of the Q60 is one of the nicest looking of any 2 door sport coupes, but I agree with Alex about the interior. It’s now outdated and the dual screens needs to be merged into 1 screen. Not sure why Infiniti hasn’t updated their interior on this gorgeous car. And no ACP or AA on the Q60’s prior to 2020 ? Very surprised by that...
I have this exact car you tested Alex. I went from the 2018 Q50 RS 400 fully loaded with pro pilot assist. the 2020 Q60 RS 400 feels more lively than the q50. I can also say I do not miss DAS. I prefer the normal steering column. I think you should change the cabin noise to the grade of the q50 because the car you tested have an optional exhaust. my .02 cents
Agree with Alex on every point except the exhaust note. The previous Q60 Red Sport exhaust note was almost non existent, from outside or inside. The new exhaust note reminds me somewhat of the G37S IPL. With the windows down in a tunnel, and gunning it, the note is very sweet.
Everyone bags on Infiniti wayyyy to much. They are amazing cars for the price. Loved my 3.0t and recently upgraded to the 2020 q50RS. I have ZERO regrets! (especially since they updated infotainment). Don’t listen to people’s opinions and just go test drive one yourself.
Alex- Infiniti's lease programs are among the most aggressive in the industry. The interior on the Q60 is starting to look dated, though. A 3 year lease may be worth it.
Q50 3.7 lease was at around $320 a month with just tax due at signing 5-6 years ago when car was relatively fresh, so it should be cheaper by now. Back then, I thought $320 was too expensive because of the sluggish downshift and super inefficient engines.
The Infiniti Q60 is honestly one of the sexiest coupes on the road. I could overlook the infotainment system for this car. Fully optioned though I seen one at a dealer for 67K (would probably top out at 70K with taxes and fees) at that price point idk. Most people will buy the base trim
Awesome review, awesome car...sales of Cars are down because people are fooled to think SUV and trucks are safer, at this rate in 10 years everyone will drive dump trucks and SUV versions LoL also manufacturers are pushing tech in SUV and trucks more than Cars to be more fuel efficiency and Tech.
It’s highly likely this particular model has the optional MOTORSPORTS: SPORT EXHAUST WITH EXTERNAL RESONATOR installed. This would be the reason the exhaust note seems high. These wheels are also optional as well as all the external carbon fiber pieces.
With the recent economic crash along with other factors, my desire to own something like this has just tanked, even though I can technically "afford" it. The market seems to agree with me.

They need to update the engine and transmissions as well. Their 7 speed and 3.0 variant engines are a joke. Slow downshift, unpredictable inefficient engines.
I have 2015 by hybrid; tech package. I love the dual screens and always on Navi. The DAS is nowhere near s weird feeling as people try to portray it. The average driver would never notice anything other than the variability choices. My car is as quoting as the 400 but I get 34mpg when driving normally. I'm surprised they stopped importing.
I have this car and I love it a lot. I have the sunstone red with the red interior. I’ve had it for 3 years now and I’m thinking about getting a Ford Mach E for practicality and the electric but I’m so torn cause I’m going to miss the Q60 a lot.
How much longer are the doors on a 2 door vs a 4 door sedan? I have been looking at all manufacturers and cannot find that data. Is the only way to physically measure the doors at a dealer?
Soon this platform will morph into the Nissan 400Z and will hopefully have a full redesign of the interior. In its all wheel drive variant it could very well be thought of as a baby GT-R, but in reality they want it to slide around the turns to compete with and beat the new Supra and undercut it also with significantly less pricing, which means it will stay to the true RWD setup for that kind of driving. This is the impression I have by just casually reading all kinds of articles concerning this new 400Z since the year began. I personally have a 18' GT-R Premium.
Main reason why I do not even bother looking at Infiniti is because the interior is WAY OUTDATED!!! Hasn’t been updated for some time now and that’s very disappointing because these are quality automobiles.
Infiniti will go out of business at the pace they are going. Never redesigning anything properly and never offering amazing features and yet still keeping a hefty the price.
Infiniti set record sales in 2018, there are some older cars in the lineup but no one is paying close to MSRP for those older cars which is why Infiniti continues to sell so many.
Oh I'm surprised to see you reviewing the Q60 again Alex, you've done it and the Q50 a few times. But I suppose this MY has AA and ACP so its worth a review. Car is due for a heavy refresh in the next year so hopefully we see it get that new 9-speed as well as a few other changes.
If the redesign the interior two or three years later and give it some mild refresh, that would directly crash all the competitors in this segment. However, so sad they are going to pull out from the EU and Australia this year.
I hear Infiniti may stop making its own vehicles and soon sell just badge engineered Nissans. That would be a shame. I always had a soft spot in my heart for Infiniti.
Infiniti really makes good cars. The CEO (who is now gone) did them wrong by changing all the model names to the confusing "Q" nomenclature. If the name confuses enthusiasts, you damn sure know it confuses your average car shopper. Exterior styling is strong with Infiniti. Interior styling is good, but Infiniti really struggled to update the electronics and infotainment display. Competitors went to big, landscape displays while Infiniti stuck with an outdated and laggy 2 screen system. Finally, rather than investing in their own branded performance models (remember IPL?), they opted for the "cheaper" approach of slapping some "red" badges and brake calipers into the cars and changing the tune of the twin turbo V6. Speaking of, the twin turbo engine is a real gem.
Since I've owned a variety of coupes (currently on my 6th), I would agree. But maybe because it's base price is $40k up to $60k, the +2 rear seats are awful, trunk space is lousy, and insurance is high if you're under 45. Besides, America has been buying high performance rwd (V8) coupes since 1932. Ask Ford.
I love both Q50 and Q60, BUT my parents want me to get a 4 door sedan to accommodate them better... Yet I don't want to be selfish but I kinda have to... This will be MY car and I will be making the payments and dealing with it every day... So sorry mom and dad, Q60 will be part of the family soon.
Infiniti is done. Don’t buy them. I worked at an Infiniti dealership as a parts guy. Almost all the body parts get backordered ever since last year. Two months for driver window. Nissan is giving up on it. The collapse of the parts supply system usually signals the end.
james 699 I said since last year, 2019. COVID didn’t start until earlier this year. Due to COVID, the dealership has been closed for three months. I’m glad that I left that job in November. On a good month they would sell 10 new cars a month. Infiniti is still going to be around. But they are not going to have their own models anymore. They are going to be “Nissan plus”. Much like the Avenir from Buick. There’s no more specialty.
DEAD BRAND ROLLING. The Infiniti brand is now NISSAN PLUS, Like Chevrolet versus Buick. Infiniti dealer network is going away... it'll be Nissan. A shame, the Q45 and G35 were good cars. I even liked the J30 back in the 90s.
I hate the arrow shape of the rear quarter back window. I prefer the straight shape of the rear window of the pre-2016 coupe . Love the nissan frontier dashboard...ok a mix of the 2 for a 25k $ rear solid axle wheel drive japenese pre'15 mustang ?
Nice car. Nice review. $55K Tesla Model 3 Performance -- 0-60 in 3.2s, AWD, 299 mi range, 162 mph top speed, 20" wheels, performance brakes, track mode (disables traction control, so you can drift, etc).
Hmmm I'd take a m240i over any of those picks, new TLX looks really interesting though... Hoping Infiniti throws the Q60 a bone with the redesign in 2021 though.
I finally figured out what is wrong with the Q60 design! It’s the crease just above the side skirts. It’s reminiscent of the BMW 1-Series “pot belly pig line”(google it) It creates a bloated belly effect. If they made the angle just a little steeper, they’d be in business.
The AWD system is RWD until slip is detected then it sends power to the front, only exception to this if the car is put in Snow mode or is travel at very low speeds. Otherwise RWD 99% of the time.
I agree, because it's more subtle, but in this market segment subtle isn't what people want. The Q60 is also good looking, though I dislike the gaping grille.
*Best looking Infiniti to date*
I can’t believe this thing came out in 2016 and it looks as if the car was just designed, it’s so modern and it has aged pretty well

You gave me a good laugh with that comment. Lol!
Meh. It has carplay now, all I need Lol
A cheap milk
Previously had the Q60 300hp as a loaner. A blast to drive. Feel sporty. Handles well.bGet lots of attention. I don't mind the interior at all.
We are some spoiled people when people are saying the inside is dated🙄! Nice car overall!

The exterior of the Q60 still looks amazing. If the interior just got an update it would be perfect. Not too interested in the Q50.
They need to update the engine and transmissions as well. Their 7 speed and 3.0 variant engines are a joke. Slow downshift, unpredictable inefficient engines.

Great review and comparisons!! Thanks for sharing.
It wish someone as talented as the exterior designer could have designs the interior.
Before Nissan/Infiniti die in a few years, I wish they'd at least release the Essence Concept, with the GTR's chassis underneath. Go out with a bang!
That was a fantastic looking concept, would be awesome to see something like that on the streets. Nissan isn't going anywhere though.
They've been around for like 90 years. They not going to disappear anytime soon just because they disappoint you. Jackass.
Agree completely. Grown-up pony car
congrats on the weight loss. looking good Alex.
If infinity made the sunroof slide over the top of the roof instead of into the roof the interior rear headroom would be improved.
Get the base Q60 and add a down pipe and a tune. Done.
450+whp monster on93
Base model is not worth getting
The frontend looks somewhat outdated? The rear looks good though.
Thanks Nissan very much for keeping the normal gearshifter.
The real backup light is on the moveable trunk lid? I didn't think that was legal.
Q60 redsport is my choice
The moving camera is distracting.
I have Q50 luxe 3.0t, but what if I'd like to purchase one the Q50 S HP400 Or this ,someone gonna approve it to me?
Change and please update the CHEEZY outdated early 80's jingle intro!
The exterior is nice ,but the center stack is outdated.
Needs more radiator/coolant caps. Three just isn't enough.
I thought the awd model had 400 hp and 400 torque? I may be wrong though.
The red sport has 400hp/350tq, the base versions have 300hp/tq. No change in power/torque for AWD systems.
Alex can you please go back to your static camera work. This new moving camera makes me feel seasick. There's no need to keep moving all the time.
I love both Q50 and Q60, BUT my parents want me to get a 4 door sedan to accommodate them better... Yet I don't want to be selfish but I kinda have to... This will be MY car and I will be making the payments and dealing with it every day... So sorry mom and dad, Q60 will be part of the family soon.
Infiniti is done. Don’t buy them. I worked at an Infiniti dealership as a parts guy. Almost all the body parts get backordered ever since last year. Two months for driver window.
Nissan is giving up on it. The collapse of the parts supply system usually signals the end.
james 699 I said since last year, 2019. COVID didn’t start until earlier this year. Due to COVID, the dealership has been closed for three months. I’m glad that I left that job in November.
On a good month they would sell 10 new cars a month. Infiniti is still going to be around. But they are not going to have their own models anymore. They are going to be “Nissan plus”. Much like the Avenir from Buick.
There’s no more specialty.
I’ve had the same feeling for a while now. Infiniti is bleeding money like crazy for Nissan, outdated and tired.
What did you end up getting instead of the red sport ?
Alex, I really miss the camera view of the side and the tires spinning during the drive section. I hope you can bring it back.
DEAD BRAND ROLLING. The Infiniti brand is now NISSAN PLUS, Like Chevrolet versus Buick. Infiniti dealer network is going away... it'll be Nissan. A shame, the Q45 and G35 were good cars. I even liked the J30 back in the 90s.
It’s crazy to think that Infiniti only has 5 models. They’ve completely lost their way. Even the dumb renaming they did to their cars was lame.
Infinity autos are still sold in the USA? I haven't seen a new one on the road in years.
Infinity has never sold cars in the U.S. Infiniti, is a different story altogether.
There is no car company named Infinity.

Is this a C43 in Samurai ensemble ?
Beautiful car. Inferior infotainment. Totally ruins the vibe.
I hate the arrow shape of the rear quarter back window.
I prefer the straight shape of the rear window of the pre-2016 coupe . Love the nissan frontier dashboard...ok a mix of the 2 for a 25k $ rear solid axle wheel drive japenese pre'15 mustang ?
Nice Infinity👌
Nice car. Nice review.
$55K Tesla Model 3 Performance -- 0-60 in 3.2s, AWD, 299 mi range, 162 mph top speed, 20" wheels, performance brakes, track mode (disables traction control, so you can drift, etc).
The S5!!
This brand is still a thing and alive?
Nice DATSUN bro
This over any german, but the new TLX over this
Hmmm I'd take a m240i over any of those picks, new TLX looks really interesting though... Hoping Infiniti throws the Q60 a bone with the redesign in 2021 though.
@@BigHeadClan Like i always say, buy japanese but lease germans
Its exterior and interior still remain same as when they copied them from Hyundai Sonata back in early 2010s..
I finally figured out what is wrong with the Q60 design! It’s the crease just above the side skirts. It’s reminiscent of the BMW
1-Series “pot belly pig line”(google it) It creates a bloated belly effect. If they made the angle just a little steeper, they’d be in business.
I hate to say this, but kia stinger is a better option with similar power.
Why not TLX?
The stacked screens need to go!
Audi S5 or M440.
Hi Alex,
Is the AWD system on this rear or front bias?
the awd is coming from their Gx series and since it's rwd based. therefor I'm 95% certain that it's rwd biased.
The AWD system is RWD until slip is detected then it sends power to the front, only exception to this if the car is put in Snow mode or is travel at very low speeds.
Otherwise RWD 99% of the time.
BigHeadClan thanks
YC Y thanks
The G37 was so much sexier
Hard nope in my books, I love my G37 coupe but the Q60 is waaaay better looking.
Q60 looks much better, but G37 drives better. Can't stand Q50/Q60's slow sluggish downshifts.
@@b1uezea1ot It's nearly identical transmissions in both... The G37 is definitely the more nimble and playful of the two cars though.
I agree, because it's more subtle, but in this market segment subtle isn't what people want. The Q60 is also good looking, though I dislike the gaping grille.
