2018 Infiniti Q60 in Murfreesboro, TN - $0

With a refreshed exterior design that embodies new Infiniti design language, the INFINITI QX60 SUV has been tuned for a more engaging, comfortable drive. Offered in QX60 and QX60 AWD models, the new exterior design continues the QX60's taut, muscular shapes and flowing lines – adding a host of new styling cues and details that embrace the dramatic Infiniti design language. In the rear, a new chrome finisher surrounds the standard power lift-function hatch and a new body-color "shark fin" antenna has been added to the roof, which also features a standard power sliding tinted glass moonroof with one-touch open/close, tilt feature and sliding sunshade. The new front and rear fascias include flush-mounted sonar sensors, adding to the premium appearance.

Acoustic glass has been added to the front windows for improved insulation from high frequency noise. The acoustic side glass minimizes the intrusion of wind noise into the cabin, while also reducing the effects of tire noise. The result is improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels at a constant speed.

With a long wheelbase and short overhangs, as well as a low roofline that doesn't compromise interior headroom, the QX60 achieves an unchanged drag coefficient of 0.34. A front underbody spoiler, integrated rear spoiler and rear tire deflectors contribute to achieving zero lift across both front and rear axles for enhanced road holding.

Power is generated by a 3.5-liter V6 engine, mated to a sport-tuned electronically controlled continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) with D-Step Logic that provides high responsiveness and seamless, efficient shifting feel. The transmission can mimic a step transmission, and also features a wide gear ratio and low friction design.

Control hardware consists of an independent-strut front and multi-link rear suspension that features new shock absorbers and spring units, which result in smoother ride control with a reduction in body movement when cornering. Completing the dynamic changes, a retuned vehicle-speed-sensitive power steering system, now requiring just 2.9 turns lock-to-lock, offers the driver increased response to steering inputs and enhanced feedback.

The Infiniti Drive Mode Selector (DMS) allows the driver to vary throttle response and gearshift patterns to optimize performance for the conditions and their own preferences. The driver can select from four drive modes – Standard, Sport, Eco and Snow – using a rotary dial mounted in the center console. To enhance stability and feel through the controls when cornering, the Active Trace Control system links with the QX60's standard Vehicle Dynamic Control system, to automatically apply the brakes in a specific pattern and then smooth engine torque characteristics while accelerating.

Inside the passenger cabin, the QX60's interior design combines elegance and fine craftsmanship. The interior design features standard leather-appointed seating with a quilted seat base and new graphite weave interior accents. Exclusive Maple accents and an "hour-glass"-style quilting pattern are standard with the Deluxe Technology Package. Along with its wave-like flow, the instrument panel is highlighted by an Infiniti Intelligent-View display in the center meter cluster, along with large, easy-to-read Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges and standard seven-inch color vehicle information display.

The QX60 utilizes a flat platform floor, which not only allows for a more dramatic design approach but also enhances interior space and flexibility. The 2nd row seating features a long total adjustment fore and aft for versatile roominess and cargo carrying capacity – allowing legroom and cargo space to be conveniently adjusted between the 2nd and 3rd rows as needed.

Two other unexpected aspects of QX60's 2nd and 3rd row design is access to the 3rd row is surprisingly easy due to the wide door openings and long forward slide of the 2nd row seat. The multi-mode 2nd row seat's unique forward movement function overcomes the typical problem of having to remove a 2nd row child seat for entry or exit. The installed child seat moves forward with the 2nd row seat (40 percent side of 60/40 split-folding seat) without limiting 3rd row access. In addition, both 2nd and 3rd row seats are split folding (60/40 2nd row, 50/50 3rd row) and recline for greater occupant comfort.
