The all-new 2019 INFINITI QX60 is many things. With 149.0 cu-ft of passenger volume to comfortably seat up to seven occupants, it's as functional a carrier as they come. A 3.25-liter V6 engine capable of producing up to 295 HP makes it a powerful commuter. And an impressive fuel economy rating of 22 MPG combined serves notice of its efficiency — despite its dominant size.
However, what truly propels this full-sized SUV into the upper echelons of luxury driving is the available ProASSIST package. The PA upgrade adds a full suite of proprietary technologies designed to both aid the operator and inspire confidence in all riders.
Included in the kit is Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, which work seamlessly in conjunction with one another. LDW utilizes exterior sensors to track markings on the pavement to gauge center and side lines. If an unintended departure from its path is detected — where the signal light is not used — the QX60 will notify the motorist. If no immediate action is taken, LDP kicks in by autonomously assuming control of individual brakes in order to correct the route.
High Beam Assist is another handy function in the ensemble. When switched to the “ON†position, the HBA system will automatically transition from bright to low settings, and then back again when an oncoming vehicle passes.
