Start with what the Infiniti QX60 is: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2012 to 2013, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Naoyuki Ohkoshi (2009).
The background
The Infiniti QX60, called the Infiniti JX until the 2014 model year, is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Infiniti, the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Nissan. It is underpinned by an elongated Nissan Murano platform also used by the Nissan Pathfinder.
In keeping with Infiniti's naming scheme for 2014, in which cars begin with Q and SUVs begin with QX, the JX was renamed to QX60. While the number previously denoted engine displacement (for example, 35=3.5L engine), the new number, 60, is largely to do with its place in the product lineup, with larger numbers usually corresponding to more expensive vehicles.
The engineering
The engine is Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 4280 lb. Drive goes through a CVT. The wheelbase is 114.2 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Infiniti line-up the Infiniti QX60 has a clear place: it replaced the Infiniti QX4; the factory was Smyrna, Tennessee (Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant), United States. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Mazda CX-5, the Tesla Model X, the Peugeot 208. Its Infiniti stablemates include the Ex35 and the Fx35.
Owning one today
Buying one now means $17,000–$65,000 for a typical example, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,697–$6,836 a year. Insurance sits around $1,630–$3,420 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
