Positive Review
Infiniti has always delivered in the exterior design department for their models, with the QX60 in dire need of a redesign and the concept Monograph QX60, I knew the vehicle would look great for the exterior. But where they really “WOW’d” me was the overall package of the vehicle. New for the QX60 is a 9speed auto, and a departure from the dual screen layout for the entertainment system. In addition we get a fully digital 12” instrument cluster, 10.8” HUD, a rear view monitor, and of course the 12.3” infotainment system. Really bringing the QX60 up to where Infinitis standards should had been. Also adding to the small but valued features, we now get messaging seats and memory seating for the passenger, something you typically find in six figure vehicles. All these new additions to the great build quality and high end materials finished throughout the vehicle, it’s certainly now a car I’d love to sit behind the wheel of. Talking about that, the 9 speed auto is such a huge improvement over the CVT, those shifts through the gears makes the QX60 feel like it’s not running out of breathe compared to the previous QX60s CVT droning. If I had to complain at all, I wish there was a performance variant, hoping they’d consider putting their twin turbo V6 underneath the hood, then the GV80 and MDX Type S would have a run for their money. To wrap the 48hr experience with the car, Infiniti really wants to take back its crown for the best selling luxury SUV, although it’s got tougher competition, it will only make Infiniti one step better than it was before.
Critical Review
Overall; Build quality is average, can’t be of luxury class. Far behind compared to Lexus and others. Interior design: outstanding, top class. Exterior design: Too good. Driving experience: really good. Mirrors- looks like design problems. Very shaky on the road. Specially driver side and inside rear view. Passanger side mirror is good and stable. I asked the dealer to fix this, they checked other QX60, all having same problems. I showed them this issue, they acknowledged, but they can’t fix it as its a design problem. While on the road, you can’t expect mirrors of a luxury class car irritating your entire trip.

Solid Feeling, great driving, better than most infotainment
None yet.
I’ve had my new qx60 for 28k miles, it has been a very competent comfortable family hauler. This is my 2nd (2017) I find it to be very nondescript in its styling while being an attractive car it’s certainly not the belle of the ball. Ride and handling/performance are above average for this segment. Access to all rows of seating is relatively easy and comfortable, luggage space is very good. My average mpg’s are 23-25mpg in all types of combined driving, this is the V6 model BTW. The controls are well labeled and easy to use, the infotainment system while the screen is not Huge is very good and easy to use, there is a touch and turn knob on the console that can operate anything you need. Overall, this is a great family hauling value, my experience with the brand (2-vehicles 435k miles)says it will be trouble free and reliable. The category is crowded with entries this one deserves a good look.

Quiet, Luxurious, Premium Quality interior.
None
First of all, as soon as I got in the vehicle, I was amazed with the premium quality. Seems like they really paid attention to all the details. Exterior and Interior suits me the best. I almost bought Range Rover Sports, but QX60 has way more features as such as AC seats, third row seating, wireless Apple Car Play, one touch access to 3rd row access. I love the saddle brown interior. I got the Autograph version because I like captain chairs in the middle row. I was honestly happy with Luxe edition as well. Ride quality is great, you don't hear outside world. I just enjoy the drive with awesome Bose sound system. With two little ones, I'll just have to try to keep it clean.
Overall Experience, 8.5 out of 10
Wish there was more engine options.
