2021 Infiniti Q60 review

What We Like

Performance: Unlike much of the competition, the Infiniti Q60 comes standard with a 300-horsepower twin-turbo V6, delivering impressive acceleration and power. Upgrading to the Red Sport 400 takes the performance up a notch with a sport suspension, stickier tires, and bigger brakes. No manual gearbox is available, but the seven-speed automatic works well. All trims come standard with rear-wheel drive or can be equipped with all-wheel drive for better all-weather performance.

Interior: It may be a performance coupe, but the interior is all about luxury. Seats can be trimmed in semi-aniline leather, accented by brushed aluminum trim or genuine carbon-fiber accents on the Red Sport 400. The front seats are comfortable with nice bolstering for good support; however, rear passengers will find the space tight with little legroom. An available Bose® Performance Series audio system with 13 speakers and active noise cancellation adds to the luxury surroundings.

Driver-assist tech: Infiniti offers the Q60 with its optional suite of advanced driver-assist features. It includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane departure prevention, blind-spot intervention, and backup collision intervention. For 2021 all variants come standard with automatic collision notification with emergency call.

What Needs Improvement

Infotainment: The Infiniti Q60 features a dual-screen infotainment system that can be difficult to figure out. Both screens can be operated via touch, but the upper screen can also be operated via a rotary controller on the center console. A single larger screen like those used by the Q60’s competitors would be more intuitive.
