2017 Infiniti Q60 Unboxing - Has Infiniti Finally Built A BMW Beater?

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- For today's unboxing review we bring you the all-new 2017 Infiniti Q60. It's an absolutely stunning luxury performance coupe, at least from the outside. It had its official debut last January at Detroit and now it's arriving in dealerships. And yes, this is Infiniti's answer to the BMW 4 Series Coupe and Audi A5. Stiff competition, yes, but Infiniti is definitely on to something good here.
The exterior design, specifically, is stunning. In fact, we think this is the best-looking Infiniti to date. Our tester came powered by the optional 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, with power going directly to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic. Want all-wheel drive? That's an extra $2,000. So yeah, from the outside, the Q60 really can't get much better. Inside? Well, that's our chief complaint. It's not that the overall dash design is bad, it's just that it doesn't offer anything new. In short: it's boring, and that's a shame because Infiniti had a chance to do something unique here but didn't. A performance luxury coupe, especially one with an as tested price of $55,255, should make every attempt to push styling inside and out to the limits. But there's still no question here that Infiniti had done nearly everything right. Enjoy the review!

I honestly think that this new Q60 Coupe design is way more attractive and appealing than anything that the Germans or the other Japanese competitors have out right now. I think the design of this car is THAT stunning.But... my opinion
He didn't test the Q60RS, which is more faster, more sporty. Plus the interior trim is optic silver carbon fiber.
Chris Folks i absolutely agree with you!!
I almost bought a used 2015 Audi S5....test drove the Q60 30 mins before and it changed my mind.
Infiniti did a phenomenal job with the Q60 design, the sport trims (S and RS) grab my interest most. However, I love how they offer several engines to cater to a different customer. The design language speaks multitudes of language. Very high end, sporty and classy looking. I love the 'simple' interior design, I cannot stand the busy interiors with 100 buttons to press. Currently driving a 13 G37x and LOVE IT. Enjoy buyers!
Well, lots of things are debatable but not the fact that since the dawn of time, a base G35/G37 came with a V6 and was way faster than a base 3 series coupe, which is competed with. Yes, the Ms are faster but have always cost way, way more while having a much worse interior. I don't get why people always compare BMW's sportiest cars with other companies' regular cars. By that logic, to this day, BMW hasn't made anything faster than a GTR, so they've never had a Nissan beater?
BMW hasn't made anything faster than a GT-R because it simply doesn't need to. Nissan was more in need of a halo model to help define the brand. BMW, however, more than easily gets by with its "mainstream" models.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars That's a silly thing to say. So BMW, who is into racing and making drivers' cars, who has a performance division and a 100k+ hybrid car does not want to make fast cars?
iSOBigD M4 GTS, maybe?
Leo Wan I don't remember any M car doing 0-60 in 2.7 seconds a few years ago or tracking as fast. If they finally do, it'll be many years after nissan, thus my comment
Exactly. I'd take any G over any regular 3 series. I'd take an M series over any G though. Well, probably The new Q is bad ass! One thing I'll give Inifintis is that they are more reliable and cheaper to fix when something finally does go wrong. I driver my '03 1st gen daily for work, it's got 197k and only ever broke a radiator hose, and the clear coat is peeling. That's it!
I think the first generation audi a5 was the best looking car in this class. The q60 easily takes the lead on this one.
You're nitpicking with it's interior. So what if the instrument panel is not full screen like the A4? You still see the same info. The dual screen makes sense and it's nice that you don't lose the navi when you just want to fiddle with other features. Yes, not as sleek as the center console of the C class, but how about that display on the C class that looks like a mini iPad placed on the dash. That said, it's interior design is just fine, and it's exterior design just blows everyone in its class out of the water.
Alex agreed
One of the main factors in selling point, if not thee main selling point...is the AWD option. Regardless of climate, I've always loved AWD, the handling is impeccable. I think it's a matter of personal preference, and opinion, not really a "need".
Just got a 2019 Q60S.
300hp awd. I'm not very old. Only 30.
But probably one of the most comfortable drives I've had. The steering is something you have to get used to
Tons of power. Just had it through the winter in snow.
I never had an issue of slipping. Also didnt even have winter tires.
Infiniti killed BMW from 2003-2009ish with the G car. Ther udnercut the base 3 series with wayyy more power and better looks in my opinion.
looked at BMW and Lexus I drove this car and bought it on the spot way better than any beamer iv owned and more reliable
First gen FX35 will always be the most beautiful car this company made.
Q60 👍🏻🔥
Why the NISSAN AND INFINTI DONT USE THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS in super cars?
It's styling is pretty good. Not beating the Germans in tech or driving dynamics but it makes up with value and reliability. So it is on par and will be a worthwhile purchase
the tech part is debatable
I love my Q60
Vile Nation Gaming how much you spend for gas in one year?
Michael T I honestly couldn’t tell you. I spend about 30-50 to fill up a week though
Vile Nation Gaming bought one last week and absolutely love it!!
@@aliu_q60a26 mine should be here Tuesday!!
Is the q60 a rear wheel drive car ?
RWD and AWD option.
Im split i rlly love the q60 and the maxima idk which to purchase
good review. way too harsh on the interior, Jesus. Sounds like you drive a German car regularly, interior is all about what your used to. your misapplying the eco pedal, its obviously not for petal to the metal driving. hence the name. review a red sport, Why cheap out?? you have to spend time with this car to understand it, clearly you don't but good reviw nonetheless. I have been driving a red sport since it was released. slaughtering fools out here in the H! X)
Thanks! Sometimes automakers need a good punch to the junk, in this case with the Q60's interior. Infiniti had a yuge (Trump style!) opportunity to push the design boundaries of interior design but didn't. Also, I tried to get a Red Sport but one wasn't available.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars thanks once again great review 👍
I passed and got a 428i ....went and drove the infinity again 3 months after...... I made the right choice ...they both a great cars. It's pure preference.
Nigga you can’t afford shit
I just traded in my 2017 Q60 for the 2018 Q60. They tweeted the suspension and steering. If you’re in the market for a Q60 get the 2018.
Any changes to transmission? Or still sluggish
Vlad Zak Well depends on what version you’re asking about. My 2017 was a 2.0 and my 2018 is a 3.0. So I never experienced the 3.0 in the 2017 model. But I will say the 2018 is very responsive. The only thing is the delay of boost but that’s to be expected when dealing with turbocharged engines.
am I the only one who noticed @ 5:14 that the driver door leather has 2 slight dark stains on it already ?
Andre Madden What do you expect from white leather?
I like the interior. Its very avant-garde and emotionally designed versus the minimalist approach germans take. Class to class this vehicle beats all of its competitors hands down and at more obtainable price point. Germans rely on name recognition which blinds ppl that their shit is really inferior when you REALLY look into them.
AK Lawrence I would love to have this car I test drove it and it's way bigger than it looks on camera and the interior is a nice place to be I did think they missed an opportunity with their interior but I just fin I like the steer by wire system you just got to get used to it it's not bad or awful I don't know why people are bashing it and making it look bad it's just that when people go from mechanical steering to this direct adaptive steering it fells weird but you have to get used to its good to try new things don't forget Infiniti was the first company to come out with the 360 view camera and something else I forgot and this is a sports car and the red sport is something else but all and all I would have this over a Audi or a BMW but a benz might be tough Choice
romel 4life had several benzs and the rs400 blows them away. direct adaptive steering is awesome and the future. if you don't like it go send a fax cause your outdated and can't adapt
Marko Lazarevic, this is a 4 series competitor, not 2 series
Ya but its ugly and doesnt come in stick, therefore im sticking with bmw.
LegendInThaMakin I'm pretty sure they might come with a stick soon and it not ugly you just don't like the shape of it but other people thinks it's up to date and BMW's are overrated there all over the place every one buys them just because it's German and comes with all this fancy tech if I wanted to be different and stand out from the crowd I would totally buy this
Agree the interior should come with Maximas interior really great! This is just unfinished i think they were rushed, Exterior phenomenal.
Yeah, I mean that exterior looks fantastic. The interior isn't horrible by any means, it just doesn't match the exterior's appeal.
Spot on ! Everything you said is what I was thinking
This is a really nice car. I think it looks better than the BMW 4 series and the Audi A5, but I think the Mercedes C coupe beats it in the looks department. The interior is much nicer than BMW, but I'd rather have the Audi or Mercedes.
Agreed, in regards to the exterior. For me, however, the interior design was a missed opportunity.
In my opinion the new Q60 has a beautiful interior but the exterior is its downfall especially the back, it just looks too bulky and also looks less sporty than the older models unfortunately, even if it has better performance than the older models I believe they could’ve done a better job with the exterior.
I wonder how long it will be till the Infinity/Nissan brass figure out that it's no longer necessary to spell out "Infinity" above their logo. Mercedes and Audi don't need to write their brand name...the logo is all that's necessary. (think Nike, Pepsi too) I think Infinity can make that leap now. Marketing 101. Good review guys !
My guess is that Infiniti doesn't have nearly the same name recognition of its German rivals.
MTobin1000 it's reasons like people spelling the name wrong probably. I own a g35 and most people I know spell it wrong too. It's Infiniti not Infinity
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars By the way I love this car regardless of what BMW or Mercedes produces
One of my friend from Asia thought the infiniti logo was a Mazda when I picked him up in my infiniti. He said "wow what a nice looking mazda".
What is an Infinity? Never heard of it.
I wish the kept the old rear end of the G 37 coupe I think it's much nicer. Love the front end n it's about time they buffed the interior it's actually very nice instead of basic
Steve Regal must be the whole round led style got old dodge avenger copied and many more lol i
I think parts of the exterior design, specifically what you wrote, can be a bit subjective here. But my complain was and still is the interior design. It's just too bland and doesn't help Infiniti jump to the head of the pack.
Exactly Steve Regal, i saw a Q60 at the dealer and was not crazy about the back end, they should have kept the G37 rear.
+sn9696 thank u!!! Your one of the few who agrees with me . I still see the old G37 coupes around my city n I always break neck when I see one
Steve, i think the new back end (tail lights) of the q60 looks like some kind of Hyundai, i love the G37 tail lights especially at night! A friend has G37s black on black in showroom condition, i love the car..
immmm gettting one😁😁😁😁😁
BMW is low quality crap!!
Agreed with you
Please do the maserati ghibli please???
Great idea! I'm on it.
I like your style, but try to speak with less "uhh" and "umm"
OK, I'll remove the "uhhs" and "umms" from the script.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars your good. this guys can post his on videos how he likes
Why does he spend so much time whining about the infotainment? The only infotainment that matters is controlled by your right foot. This engine is super fun, and the car is way better looking than any Bimmer.
🔥🔥🔥
those chairs are going to get sooo dirty. the drivers side hand rest you can already see a smug smh
Wow, you're right. I didn't notice that before. Good eye!
It go against Benz s550 coupe with 300hp half shit you saying is completely wrong dislike button for me
0-60 is like 5.1 not even close man
I think Infiniti built a better car than BMW with the G37xi. Maybe not quite as fast as the 335ix but that's just one measurement...46K on mine and has not been in the shop except for brakes. In a head to head track race against the 335ix the BMW over heated and could not finish the race......
Ken Shirk lol so which on would yo buy
Wait, so you're drag racing an Infiniti G37? Cool!
i think if the q60 had the same interior as the q70 i think this would be a better car then a bmw and a audi
romel 4life it does
no it dont
no way i'm paying that much for a non-practical car
Alpha_717 If you're buying a coupe, practicality is one of the last things to be looking for in it.
Yeah I guess you're right, but from my personal experience my friends hated me when I had a coupe lol
Alpha_717 Time to get new friends then lol.
Alpha_717
fuck your friends....whos paying for the car. theyre the brokeass bitches with no car
Looks like a Kia Optima tbh. I like the g so much more.
A Kia Optima? I don't see that but to each their own. Personally, I thought the old G looked boring from the outside.
Kia Optima is not a coupe and not a premium sport vehicle. Confused on how this looks like an Optima.
Waaay too much hyperbole in this review IMO. Yes the car is gorgeous, but there are those of us who prefer more objective reviews viewed with a discerning eye. I'm not trying to be sold a car but want see past the, "gee gosh it's so cool", infatuation and try to figure what it will be to actually live with the car every day. Maybe like a really hot babe. It's not going to be a one night stand after all.
so you rev the car as soon as you turn it on. Careless
No, I wait a bit, but it looks like it was revved once the ignition was started after final editing.
The answer to your clickbait title is "no."
Well OK then.
Lexus builds better BMW fighters then Infiniti. Lexus has a whole F high performance lineup. I'm not sure what Infiniti has... they made a powerful engine for it but honestly it's needs more then that.
Infiniti is for people who want okay performance but do not want to spend more on the high performance cars like BMW M Lexus F Audi RS Benz AMG
That's exactly what Infiniti wants to change; it wants to get in on the high-performance luxury market, and this Q60 is supposed to be the start of a new beginning of sorts. I'm still not convinced it'll work out.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars They have a way to go. Lexus made a 400hp car in 2008. As it stands right now if you want Japanese Luxury performance Lexus is the go to brand
ahhhhh ... stop with your fanboy bullshit..... and go away in your 08 Camry... BTW, Infiniti don't want to make track cars. They have a so called GT-R that will beat the shit of every Lexus any day...
bigden 2755 the GTR has a nissan badge not a infiniti....
Toyota4Life
.... LOL ... SAME company Einstein....PERIOD
I think the older g35 coupes looked good but as it got older and became curvier into the g37 i liked it less and less.
Does this look better than the 4 series? Absolutely not imo. It certainly doesnt stack up to the 440/435 in performance either. I see zero reason to ever consider this car.
I think exterior design is very subjective, first off. But there's also the Q60 Red Sport 400 (which I mentioned in the review) that I think is a great BMW 4 Series competitor.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars True, hence why i said "imo" meaning "in my opinion". I dont think this looks any where near as good as the 4 series but that is just me, im sure many will disagree.
The red sport is cool too, but compared to the m4, it once again fails to compare. The m4 is a night and day better car period.
This car does not compete with the M4...
Q60 2.0T competes directly w/ BMW 420i
Q60 3.0T competes directly w/ BMW 430i
Q60 3.0T RS 400 competes directly w/440i
Infiniti is in the planning stages on their sport-performance model that will compete with the M4. Their initial decision is trying to decide if Renault Sport Racing or NISMO, or a combination of the two that will produce that model.
The Q60 has not been instrument tested yet, but if we go by the Q50 Red Sport's tests, then the Q50 RS 400 has already surpassed most of the 340i's performance metrics, while falling short on a couple.
Nah
Until the transmission goes.
sad with that sad amount of hp my old g37 and my 370z still gonna open the can of woop ass on this
Try getting the Red Sport trim. Damn shame I couldn't arrange to get one.
Not likely...a heavily modded g37/370z may, but not one that is stock, nor mildly modded.
There are already youtube videos of 3.0t Premium giving nothing but the business to a modded 370z.
Rod H. 3.0t is 300hp your statin blank facts a 370z already pushes 332hp further modding depending on the mods could push it further than even a gt-r
G and Z are rated for 330, 332 at the crank respectfully. However, the actual HP at the wheels is around 260hp. That is not me "stating" blank facts, but actual facts. This new 3.0t is actually putting down 300hp+ at the wheels, which means it is seriously underrated by Infiniti. Again, that is not me "stating" blank facts, but actual facts.
Your not going to beat this with A stock g37 or stock 370z It will not happen!
Sorry, but the exterior design tries so hard to look "muscular". It just ends up looking more "muffin top".
those rims are ugly tho
wheels*
best looking? really? the previous generation was light-years sexier.
No
Building a bmw? Nice insult
