2019 INFINITI QX60
September 23 2019, Max Landi
Midsize SUV's are continuing to crowd the market in popularity for families looking for a bit more space or seating capacity in their vehicle. As families grow, so do their cars. Moving up into this segment from even a compact crossover, owners will immediately notice and feel the difference for the cabin space. For the premium midsize segment, the INFINITI QX60 has been a solid choice for a few years now. It has the tech a lot of buyers are looking for, with the space to follow up on their practical needs. The 2019 model year of the QX60 has a simple approach to its trims and options packages. The 3.5 AWD trim is the only trim level for the Canadian market with three options packages to load up the QX60 with all the latest active safety systems, upgraded materials, and creature comforts.
The QX60 single trim also means there is one powertrain set-up for this vehicle as well. The QX60 has a 3.5L naturally-aspirated V6 engine producing 295hp and 270lb/ft for torque with the power sent through its all-wheel-drive system. With a CVT, the INFINITI has the efficiency when it needs it and the grunt when the driver commands it so. Driving the QX60 is easy-sailing with a well-sprung suspension and a steering rack on the heavier side of the spectrum. It's an SUV that feels like an SUV when driving at highway speeds where the QX60 is planted and stable to the long road ahead.
The interior of the QX60 accommodates seven occupants and all of their goodies with plenty of storage space. It has a low beltline meaning a lot of window glass for the front row and second-row passengers. This detail will be noticeable for the driver that appreciates a good view out of the car, but another added benefit to this is the additional shoulder room the low door cards create. This will lead to passengers feeling like they have their own space to move around in their seat. With a relatively tall center console, the driver and front passenger will feel this separation with the armchair-like front seats.
The INFINITI QX60 is still a popular choice for good reason in this ultra-competitive segment. It's worth checking out the 2019 QX60 for yourself at INFINITI Gallery in the Northwest Auto Mall.
