Have you ever read a list of vehicle specifications and wondered what on earth some of them meant? Even ones you understood might have left you scratching your head because you questioned how the technology worked. Learning more about cars is a fascinating pursuit, hence the purpose of this column.
Many new vehicles are moving away from a traditional gear shifter in favor of a knob. SomeINFINITI automobiles, like the 2019 QX60, include this new feature. Handsomely trimmed in leather, you’ll get a bit of a sporty thrill every time you change gears using this handy device.
Ever wondered why the change from levers to knob shifters? This new technology allows you to switch gears with just a quick movement of your finger or flick of the wrist. According to experts, not only does the new design open up a tremendous amount of space in the front of the automobile, but it takes fuller advantage of electronic shifting, a more recent innovation that provides drivers with a superior experience.
Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma the next time you’re in the Kent, Washington, area and take the 2019 QX60 out for a test drive. You’re sure to love its new technologies!Â

It’s always a little unnerving handing the keys over to your newly-licensed teenager. However, thanks to advanced technology in the 2019 INFINITI QX60, Washington parents can let out a giant sigh of relief.
Equipped with the brand’s InTouch Connection Services software, the confidence-inspiring system allows owners to set up Drive Zone Boundaries to better monitor young motorists. Through the ICS interface — which can be accessed from your CUV’s central monitor or remotely via the web or a mobile app — keyholders can create pre-determined geographical limits. When said thresholds have been crossed, the intelligent CPU will send a notification text, email, or phone call (depending on preference) to the primary user.
To further impress, also included within the InTouch service is the ability to add speed qualifiers. Given the sheer power of the QX60 (it reaches 295 HP with 270 lb-ft of torque), being able to keep tabs on your child’s behind-the-wheel behaviors offers a certain peace of mind not previously available to families.
