Read how Max is WOW-ed by the 2021 INFINITI Q60 Coupe
Q60's Design
The 2021 INFINITI Q60 is a premium compact sports coupe that extenuates the effortless and beautiful features of INFINITI’s current design language. From the waved pattern in the grille to the fading character lines alongside the profile, the Q60’s design really does stand out across the entire automotive industry. The Q60 is all about style but there is a real driving substance to back up its looks.
Q60's Engine
The Q60 has one engine choice with a standard all-wheel-drive and customers can select from two power outputs. The twin-turbo V6 engine will produce 300 horsepower and 295 lb/ft of torque in the standard configuration but a higher output motor is available with the performance-oriented Red Sport model sitting at the top of the range with 400 horsepower and 350 lb/ft of torque. In its standard form, the V6 is more than quick enough with an excellent seven-speed automatic transmission and selectable driving modes that include Snow, Eco, Standard, Sport, and Personal. The Q60 feels like a proper sports coupe from behind the wheel. The ride is immersive, the engine is quick to respond and the steering offers a fair amount of road texture to the driver. As the Q60 is still an INFINITI, the refinement is remarkable. The isolation from the engine bay and the road is very well-kept.
Q60's Interior
Inside the cabin, the wide and supportive seats are comfortable for long-distance cruises. As a coupe, the Q60 isn’t desperately impractical. This vehicle is a 2+2 configuration, meaning the second row of seating is best left for children, but for anyone that may have to sit back there, the rear seats are beautifully trimmed with some storage between the two seats. Those rear seats can be folded flat, so the cabin can feature a wide parcel shelf and quick access to the trunk.
The interior of the Q60 is much like the other modern INFINITI products with the dual-touchscreen dominating the centre of the cabin. These screens are snappy and effective to the touch, but the occupants can use a rotary wheel to interact with the top-screen if they so desire. The cabins build, quality, and material-use display all the traits customers should expect from an upmarket brand. Stitching is impeccable, the leather surfaces are rich and there’s lots of foam padding where the driver and passengers would rest their knees and elbows. Storage is good for a coupe, and the visibility is tremendous. There really aren’t many downsides to the Q60’s driving experience.
As compact sports coupes go, the Q60 stands out from the crowd with its gorgeous design and its premium features. The 2021 Q60 and all of its variations are now available at INFINITI Gallery in Calgary’s Northwest Auto Mall for a test drive. Head over to the dealership to check out the Q60 for yourself!
