Building on a promise to deliver a confident ride and capable performance in all its vehicles, Infiniti has announced the new 2022 QX60.

Coming to market later in 2021, the new QX60 will be powered by Infiniti's 3.5-litre V6 producing 291bhp and paired with an all new nine-speed automatic transmission. The combination aims to deliver an ideal balance of power and fuel economy, response and refinement from Infiniti's newest addition to the QX lineup.

Extensive testing and calibration for the engine and nine-speed combo in the new QX60 will deliver to drivers a powerful but relaxing ride. Infiniti teams across North America have logged thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of miles behind the wheel of the new QX60 to fine-tune the crossover's response, capabilities, ride and handling, and overall behaviour.

Engineers from Infiniti's Arizona Testing Center have subjected the new QX60 to severe heat in places such as Death Valley, California, in temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius. The barren desert atmosphere is a gauntlet for the QX60's cooling capabilities and interior environment. Engineers spent years fine-tuning the QX60's cabin to be tranquil and relaxing, despite the brutal heat and punishing landscape just outside the crossover's doors.

With a wider spread of gear ratios, Infiniti's engineers have improved ride comfort, on top of increased performance metrics. Imperceptible gear changes by the new nine-speed automatic are complemented by Infiniti's Active Torque Mount that isolates engine vibrations outside the cabin and quiets the interior.

Inside, a shift-by-wire system opens up more usable space inside and around the center console. One good use for that improved and functional space is the Drive Mode Selector, which shuttles between five selectable modes - Standard, Eco, Snow, Sport, and Personal - to customise each drive.
