  QX60 is not for everyone - 2014 Infiniti QX60
  By qx60driver - August 24 - 11:07 am

  After driving a G35 for 13 years, it took a bit to get use to QX60 Hybrid. It is perfect when you drive the wife, 2 kids and their stuff. And you still have room to offer another family to come alone. Or like me, you do not remember when was your last speeding ticket. My last one was 17 years ago. I know we need a minivan but can not imagine being seen in one. QX60 fits the bill, plus the 4WD. I enjoy seeing 26 to 29 mpg routinely with regular gas. My record is a 38.1 mpg on a short 10 mile run. Having kids changed my perspective. I no long focus on 0-60 numbers. Someday, I will have my sports car with no child seats. I also got 17 mpg when try to match my G35 experience. Update, April 3rd, 2016. 27,000 + miles later, QX60 Hybrid runs well. Overall, I am at 25.5 mile/gallon, I did manual calculation for 12 month driving, recording miles at each gas fill up. I drive highway 70 miles during the week, and all local during weekends. Before QX60, we always take my wifes ML350. Now, kids just go to QX60, it is so comfortable and roomier. No issue, not a single one. I did oil and filter changes myself every 5000 miles with full synthetic. I do not go to dealer for services, other than tire rotation. My next car is either a 911, GT-R or Tesla Model S, keep on dreaming while driving +/- 5 miles within speed limit in my QX60.

  Still waiting to be amazed - 2016 Infiniti QX60
  By Lasbat Ope - July 22 - 11:58 pm

  If you are 6ft+ like me, then you may find the seat base too small length wise. Also, I expected more when it comes to pickup speed, takes a while to get going. That said, its a joy to drive.

  Tried ALL luxury cars, this is the BEST - 2014 Infiniti QX60
  By dgg3 - July 22 - 8:08 pm

  We test drove every luxury SUV on the market today, even the gas guzzlers. As soon as we pulled out of the car lot, we knew this was the one. Great performance, reliability and more. I have had a Lexus 4 door car, and a Mercedes E class. This is by far the best of them all. The price is descent. And all the complaints here, sounds like the repair shop is the problem. Erg, I understand the aggravations, but trust me, Mercedes and Lexus is just as bad. Sucks when you pay good money for bad service. Even had a Toyota, same crap there too. By far, this SUV is a great choice.

  The Hybrid Engine is a Scam! - 2014 Infiniti QX60
  By njdriver36 - July 10 - 2:13 pm

  If you want better gas mileage do Not buy the QX60 Hybrid. I bought one in December 2013. After a few weeks of poor gas mileage and noticing that the Hybrid engine seemed never to be running, I took it to the dealer. The service guy told me that the Hybrid engine by design does not work when either the AC or heater is on! Thats 99% of the time that I will be driving. Total nonsense. I paid an extra $3,000 to get the same gas mileage that the gas only version gets. There was absolutely NO disclosure from my salesman about the "unique" way this hybrid engine works, or more accurately does not work! No one would ever pay the extra $3,000 if they new the truth! I feel totally robbed!

  Waste of Money - 2014 Infiniti QX60
  By RayK - July 3 - 11:24 pm

  Engine has shut down 3 times now. Infiniti engineer determined that computer modules needed replaced. After I was told by Infiniti tech it was normal for CVT tranny. Issues with shifting, reverse, seat controls, passenger air bag sensor and engine temperature. Need I say more.

  Great Upscale a Family Hauler - 2015 Infiniti QX60
  By mkgcmc - May 6 - 3:19 pm

  My wife and I were looking for a three-row crossover to help avoid the minivan stigma, and the QX60 checked all of the boxes for us. We cross-shopped the Acura MDX heavily, but in the end, the Infiniti was more family-friendly overall, felt more upscale for the price, and had a far better dealer experience. What we purchased was a QX60 with only the Premium package. We missed out on navigation and all of the advanced safety technology, but with our normal trips being so short (less than 5 miles), we felt it was money well saved. That said, I wont be able to comment on those particular features. Pros: - Extremely quiet and smooth, particularly on highways - Great braking and steering - Clear, responsive, button-driven infotainment screen - Excellent third row that is usable by adults (at least for short trips) - Second row can move for third row access even with a child seat installed - Power tailgate has a programmable stop point (even though this isnt advertised) Cons: - Gas mileage is poor - you wont get anywhere near the stated city MPG - Headlights are weak and there are no daytime running lights - Slightly more jarring than expected on potholes given the class of vehicle - Nothing is optional - things like a panoramic sunroof and Bluetooth audio streaming require multiple levels of packages Overall, the QX60 is a classy-looking vehicle that handles trips to the grocery store and trips to the beach very well, though it really shines in the latter case. On the highway, its so smooth and quiet that you almost feel like youre floating along. I would strongly recommend looking at one in person, as it test drives better than it reads on paper. You wont find the same level of engine performance as you will in the MDX, but you also wont find the MDXs scary braking. Acceleration in the QX60 is good enough for its intended purpose; braking and steering are extremely good given the size of the vehicle, so youll at least feel safe even if you wont feel fast. The CVT handles itself pretty well and stays quiet for the most part (I much preferred it to the MDXs crazy 9-speed transmission that felt like it was constantly shifting). It attempts to simulate the shifting of a normal transmission when you accelerate hard, and actually does a pretty good job of it. The interior feels very upscale and is laid out really nicely. Everything is button-driven, and the infotainment screen is very quick and responsive when compared to the MDXs ridiculous all-touchscreen controls or Lexus mouse-driven input. There are a few spots in the cabin where some cheap plastics are used (mostly in the third row), but for the most part, everything is wrapped in leather or some other soft material, especially where your elbows and knees usually make contact. There are lots of cup holders, a great second-row climate control system, and I imagine that the panoramic sunroof makes things really nice in the back - we just werent willing to pay the extra $6,500 for two additional packages to get it. Speaking of packages, I was disappointed to find that something as simple as Bluetooth audio streaming requires a $3,000 package. Parking sensors are also noticeably missing from the list of standard features (as they are in the MDX). We can only hope that one day, luxury buyers wont need to pay extra for features that come standard on a Kia. The exterior is full of nice touches - LED lights on the driver and passenger door handles that illuminate when you approach the vehicle, mirrors that automatically tilt down when in reverse and can be power-folded via a switch, and a power tailgate that can be programmed to stop at your desired height. Unfortunately, the same level of detail wasnt extended to the headlights, which seem awfully weak for being "high-intensity" and have no LED daytime running lights (an odd exclusion for a luxury vehicle). The biggest disappointment in this vehicle is the gas mileage. Our driving isnt typical as we generally only drive to destinations that are a few miles away, but the 13 MPG we are getting seems awfully low. Mixed in with occasional highway driving, we average about 15 MPG, well short of the EPA estimate. We dont drive enough for this to have been a deal-breaker, but its something to keep in mind if you anticipate that fuel costs will be a big part of your budget. Overall, we really like our QX60 so far and feel like it is a pretty solid value in the upscale crossover segment. Time will tell on things like reliability and build quality, but it seems like Infiniti has come up with a serious competitor for the three-row luxury throne that the MDX currently occupies.

  The hybrid is a scam - 2014 Infiniti QX60
  By qx60_scam - April 22 - 12:09 pm

  Sticker on it was 25 City / 28 Hwy. Actual has been around 16 City / 21 Hwy, no better than the all-gas version, which is $3,000 cheaper. The fuel gauge often jumps from 1/4 tank to empty, and the display goes from ~50 miles to "---". The hybrid battery gauge has 6 bars and a charge indicator. At stops it frequently runs the engine without charging battery, even though the charge is only at 2-3 bars. The only time Ive seen the battery charged over 5 bars was on a long downhill trip where it charged with regenerative braking. Had the car 3 months and didnt even know it went up to 6 bars until that trip. The dealership has been evasive and unable to address the above issues.

  Not the quality we expected - 2014 Infiniti QX60
  By Merrill - March 14 - 8:21 am

  Let me start by saying we loved this car the first year we had it. Its beautiful and comfortable and we loved the safety features. However, we have had this car for less than two years and it is literally falling apart at the seams. Our transmission failed at 50k miles, the seals on the roof came out and started flapping in the wind, the front console trim cracked in multiple places, the seals around the vents are coming out (not even sure how!), the driver visor broke and now just hangs, the latch for the storage compartment broke. The car is also under powered with poor acceleration. We got the car fully loaded and it has failed to meet our quality expectations for a $60k+ car. Were now hoping to get rid of it before it completely falls apart.

  Soccer Mom Needs More Assistance - 2016 Infiniti QX60
  By Ava - March 12 - 12:03 am

  My QX60 has the tech package with all bells and whistles. The safety features are tops especially with my precious cargo. While I am suppose to be able to listen to my entertainment while the kids have their CD movie going I have not been able to make that happen. So my music is missing when they are in the car. Plus, my height is short so the seat adjustment could have gone another notch toward the roof for me. A cushion would work. But, defeats the look of the QX60 interior and gets in the way of storage when another driver takes over. Also, with the rear seats view to the screens I need to adjust the headrests up to be out of my way. The typical headrest makes my head tilt forward. With a screen in the headrest it can not be turned around for my pleasure to make it straighter on my posture. The GPS I can not delete the total history out of our QX60 from the previous owner. Just thought I would share some items that were not previously mentioned in the reviews to help other customers. The sensor for automatic braking allowing for much distance of the vehicle in front of you can create serious situations when it wants to bring you to a complete stop when turning from a main road into a busy shopping mall. Possible rear end collisions to your car. I turn it off and just drive defensively!
