The automotive industry is little different than the fashion business. Size matters, cut is crucial, and lines, hems, pleats only add character if they’re done right. Looks are definitively important, and it’s not always easy to get these things right. However, the latest INFINITI QX60 is the perfect example of a style that won’t fade. Executed to perfection, it features a premium exterior design that promises to turn heads on Washington roads.
For starters, the body of the vehicle showcases a flair for the dramatic. Taut, muscular shoulders enforce its dominant shape (200.1 inches long, 77.2 inches wide, and 68.6 inches high), while flowing character marks inform a sense of fluidity and elegance. On showcase front and center is, of course, the brand's signature double-arch grille, flanked by expressive human-eye-like bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lamps.
Moving back from the fascia, a double wave hood draws the gaze towards crescent-cut D-pillars. With their unique angular appearance, they have the effect of creating a feeling of motion — even when the CUV is stopped. To further impress, UV-reducing solar windows and rear privacy glass add to the premium high-quality feel, while also keeping things cool on the interior.

Utilizing advanced technology in engineering, the latest INFINITI QX60 raises the bar with a superior drivetrain that fully transforms the commuting experience. Thanks to intentional design and modern mechanics, this capacious carrier is a smooth operator that provides a steady ride and minimizes body movement.Â
Â
Rolling on 18-inch triple five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with 235/65R18 all-season tires, this crossover utility vehicle features a front independent strut and rear multi-link suspension system. Meanwhile, Active Trace and Vehicle Dynamic Control work together to enhance on-road stability — especially when cornering. The intelligent functions are able to intuitively apply the brakes in specific patterns while dampening engine torque in order to maintain grace and composure through accelerations.
To further impress, this seven-passenger CUV is fitted with the luxury brand’s proprietary Drive Mode Selector. Through a rotary dial mounted on the center console, motorists can select from four options — Standard, Sport, Eco, and Snow — to vary throttle response and optimize performance based both on the conditions outside as well as their personal preference.

The latest and greatest INFINITI QX60 is a rare breed of CUV whose re-imagined engine accomplishes the seemingly impossible feat of offering more horsepower and torque than ever before — without compromising on fuel economy.
For starters, this crossover comes equipped with a 3.5-liter Double Overhead Camshaft V6 engine that utilizes a Direct Injection Gasoline System. Furthermore, the upgraded plant is comprised of over 50 percent new components — including the combustion chamber, pistons, and intake manifold. The advanced powertrain produces 295 HP (up from 265) and 270 lb-ft of torque (up from 248).    Â
Matched with a sport-tuned, electronically-controlled, continuously variable transmission the combination of reliable energy and seamlessly efficient shifting provides real-world responsive acceleration. This makes entering highways, passing, and the like feel completely effortless.
To further impress, despite the obvious boost under the hood, the QX60 still earns a more than respectable 27 MPG on the highway and 21 MPG in the city.

Not only is the 2018 INFINITI Q50 built to get you from point A to B — in style, we might add — but it is also designed to keep you safe along the way. Building on the long list of protection technologies the luxury brand is known for, the latest generation of the performance sedan delivers even more driving aid features to inspire confidence in both you and your passengers.
For starters, consumers can opt for an upgraded Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection that goes above and beyond your typical backup camera. Utilizing proprietary radars around the body of the vehicle, the system provides motorists with a 360-degree panoramic scan of their surroundings. So, not only will you be able to tell when you’re getting a little too close to the curb, but the intelligent CPU will also alert you of any other potential risk factors or obstacles in your way — including pedestrians, other vehicles, or rogue shopping carts in the parking lot.
To further impress, Blind Spot Warning and Intervention works similarly by relying on side sensors fitted for seeing past your line of vision. Not only does this function provide you with a second set of highly capable "eyes," but, in the event that you begin to drift into the next lane when it isn’t clear, your Q50 will autonomously adjust and re-direct you back to security.

Not only is the 2018 INFINITI QX30 the sportiest compact crossover to hit Washington streets, but beyond its immediate curb appeal, the interior boasts modern luxuries that offer innovative connectivity options that perfectly complement busy lifestyles.
Standard on all models (there are six unique trim levels available), the QX30 comes equipped with a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System.

Meanwhile, INFINITI’s InTouch infotainment system provides highly intuitive control through finger and swipe motions. Accessed through a 7.0-inch HMI — human-machine interface — the monitor plays hosts to a multitude of convenience features.

To further impress, one can also find weather reports, fuel prices, movie times and more through this innovative display.

The 2018 INFINITI QX30 is a new breed of crossover that perfectly caters to active urbanites and busy lifestyles. However, equally as impressive as its multi-purpose functionality, this premium ride delivers high style to Washington roads.
Disrupting the norm of what you might expect a typical CUV to look like, the QX30 boasts a mix of artistry and power through the contrasts of flowing lines and bold proportions (174.2 inches in length, 82.0 inches in width, and up to 59.4 inches in height). With an elevated stance, it features a low-slung roof and a double-wave aluminum hood. The signature crescent-cut C-pillars at the back forge a sense of motion even when the car is stationary.Â
Dramatic curves and sculpted shoulders were purposefully designed to evoke a spirit of humanity through a muscular body shape that differs from the more mechanical aspects of competitor models.
To further impress, standard exterior features include LED daytime running lights and automatic on/off halogen projetors. The side mirrors are power-folding and are not only heated but also include puddle lamps to maximize visibility and awareness in all conditions.

The standard QX30 is well-appointed on its own. It includes excellent technology such as an Intelligent Key with user memory settings and hands-free entry. As well, InTouch Services offer concierge assistance on things such as automatic emergency calling, and more.
One step up, the Luxury edition adds Nappa leather seating with eight-way power front seats and four-way lumbar adjustment for comfort. A rear bench pass-through allows for maximum flexibility when hauling oversize objects.
The Premium version delivers a Bose 10-speaker audio system that transforms your carrier into a studio on wheels. As well, features such as rain-sensing windshield wipers and LED fog lamps transcend the exterior into the upper echelons of functionality.

It’s been a big year for Nissan’s luxury brand, and true to character, they're giving back — in more ways than one. Outside of creating premier vehicles that cater to Washington drivers’ needs, INFINITI has donated more than $8 million to various charities through their partnership with the NCAA. During the 2018 season alone, the company has dispersed $1.1 million to a multitude of philanthropic organizations.
In collaboration with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Phil O’Connor, the director of Marketing Communications and Media at INFINITI Americas proudly presented two notable checks last week. The first one awarded $774,180 to the American Cancer Society, which has helped to increase the number of survivors to 15 million strong.
Additionally, through the organization's sponsored Coaches Challenge and CBS Round-by-Round Bracket tournament, they also raised $349,000 to be distributed among a conglomerate of viable foundations, as chosen by participant winners of the event. For example, Dave Rose, head coach at Brigham Young University was the 2018 champ of the CCC and decided to allocate $100,000 to benefit the Simmons Center for Cancer Research at BYU.
