2018 Infiniti Q60 review

What We Like

Interior: The 2018 Infiniti Q60 brings a premium cabin to match the sport coupe’s impressive performance. The front seats are comfortable with good support, and in higher variants can be fitted with sport seats trimmed in semi-aniline leather. Features like paddle shifters and aluminum-accented pedals add to the sporty vibe of the Q60, as does the available carbon-fiber interior trim.

Driving: The Q60's base engine is not as powerful as some competitors', but Infiniti makes up the difference with the powerful twin-turbo V6, which offers impressive performance. The performance moves up a level with the Red Sport 400, which delivers extreme acceleration with 0-60 mph times well below 5 seconds. All variants make use of a smooth-shifting seven-speed automatic transmission. With a suspension that keeps the car stable in quick maneuvers and strong brakes, the Q60 has a level of performance to match its sporty styling.

Driver-assist tech: The wide range of features that are part of Infiniti’s optional suite of driver aids are available on all trim levels of the Q60. These features include predictive forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning and intervention, backup collision intervention, lane departure warning, and lane departure prevention with active lane control.

What Needs Improvement

Technology: The Q60 features a dual-screen infotainment system that looks dated. Both screens can be operated via touch, while the rotary dial in the center console also functions as a controller for the upper screen. Map graphics look outdated, and items can be grayed out without explanation. A single larger screen like those used by the Q60’s competitors would be more intuitive.
