If you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you’re probably interested in its active safety features. Fortunately, INFINITI is known for its high-tech protective amenities. The 2018 QX60, for instance, is chock full of things to keep you secure.
Take, for instance, brake assist. Unsure what this is? Believe it or not, it’s actually just what it sounds like--an active vehicle safety feature designed to help drivers come to a stop more quickly during an emergency. It works by being able to predict panic or hurried efforts to halt the car and helping apply extra pressure to cut down on the distance to zero miles an hour.
The 2018 INFINITI QX60 offers a number of other safety features to grant you peace of mind. For instance, speed-sensing steering and traction control act as a backup to your excellent judgment. ABS brakes and dual-impact front and side airbags go a long way toward protecting you, as well.
In addition, the QX60 features a panic alarm and a security system to keep your vehicle and belongings safe. A low tire pressure warning means you won’t ever have to worry about being caught off guard.
Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and test drive the fantastic QX60. From brake assist to its variety of other safety features, this vehicle will always keep you secure!Â

Chances are, you already know the difference between AWD and RWD. In case the nomenclature is unfamiliar, let’s recap: The former utilizes all tires for enhanced traction, while the latter delivers more responsive road performance.
Now, with INFINITI’s Intelligent All Wheel Drive, you don’t have to sacrifice one quality for another. Available in most new models, including the 2018 QX60, I-AWD delivers both power and support when and where you need it.
Capable of instantaneously adapting to changing terrains for stable road-holding, the system works by continually monitoring variables such as wheel spin, throttle position, and velocity of the vehicle. Under good conditions, 100% of the energy is directed to the rear to provide zippy handling and athletic prowess.
However, when conditions are less than optimal, the smart CPU will automatically divert up to 50% of the available torque to the front tires in order to enhance friction and contact with the pavement.
The best part of all is that the entire operation functions autonomously, requiring no extra thought or effort from the operator. Want to learn more about this innovative feature? Contact our dealership today.
