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.
