What if I told you everyone’s favorite family-sized SUV was available in an eco-friendly version that offered the same well-loved experience with even greater fuel economy? If you’re an adult tasked with chauffeuring two or more kids around on the regular, you’d likely be pretty excited by now. Allow me to introduce you to the 2014 INFINITI QX60 Hybrid.
With seven-passenger, three-row luxury, this crossover delivers a premium cabin interior with maximum flexibility. Particularly key to its design — aside from its offering of excellent legroom in all three designations — is the fact that the rear bench can be accessed without having to disrupt a child safety seat in the second aisle. This provides added convenience for everyone involved.
By utilizing a supercharged 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a 15 kW electric motor (powered by a compact lithium-ion battery pack), this comfortable carrier can produce up to 250 HP with ease. The result is best-in-class fuel economy that doesn’t compromise the performance. Earning a combined efficiency rating of 26 MPG, it delivers a 24 percent increase over standard QX60 models.

As if the 2014 INFINITI QX60 could get any better, the Hybrid model delivers improved fuel economy and extended range without sacrificing any of the inspired style, sporty performance, or sheer roominess.
Featuring a Direct Response one-motor/two-clutch powertrain, this advanced system combines a 2.5-liter supercharged engine with a 15 kW electric motor to net up to 250 HP and 243 lb-ft of torque. The result is a significantly improved fuel economy — 26 MPG highway and city combined — that earns this QX60 Hybrid the best seven-passenger efficiency in the entire premium segment.
Utilizing a compact design of mechanics under the hood, this utility vehicle doesn’t need to sacrifice any of the space that is so appealing to family buyers. With three-row seating and a class-leading occupancy volume of 149.8 cu-ft, this functional four-door is an ideal carrier for supporting busy lifestyles. With a third folding bench, and sliding second, the QX60 quickly transforms from traveler-centric to cargo-focused. It can easily provide up to 76.5 cu-ft of expanse to accommodate all of your stowing and storage needs.

There’s already a lot to love about the 2014 INFINITI QX60 (and we’re not just talking about sheer bulk). However, when you add a hybrid powertrain to the mix, this seven-passenger luxury SUV leaves little to be desired.
Equipped with a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that pairs seamlessly with a single 15-kilowatt electric motor, this powerful ride can produce about 250 HP. To further impress, this QX60 runs on a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that offers the most suitable “gear†setting for speed while maintaining a smooth and even keel—no matter how rapidly you’re accelerating or slowing. The result is an intelligent engine that restarts after it stops, provides additional torque as needed, and auto-charges by way of regenerative braking.Â
All of these factors contribute to an attractive fuel economy that earns 26 MPG combined - an especially notable number when considering the size of this crossover. According to The Car Connection, it “offers families a roomy, reconfigurable layout that makes good sense.†With segment-leading occupant and cargo volume capacity, and overall height, length, and width of 68.6 inches, 196.4 inches, and 77.2 inches, respectively, this QX60 is every bit as functional as it is efficient.
