There’s nothing quite like the appeal of hybrid power in today’s world of high gas prices. INFINITI understands this, so they’re taking their lead in luxury manufacturing and augmenting it with the latest in electric/gasoline powertrains. A beautiful case in point here is this 2014 QX60, a mighty crossover with wild efficiency.
Here’s the skinny on this engine: you’re going to love it. It’s a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder that works alongside a 15-kW electric motor to arrive at a stunning total of 250 horses. You’re going to adore what this HP rating means in practice because it leads to the ability to pull off a zero to 60 MPH time of eight seconds flat. That edges out competitors in its segment—for example, Buick’s Enclave was only able to finish that run in 8.5 seconds.
Now, since this machine is called the 2014 INFINITI QX60Hybrid, after all, what does this mean for efficiency? In short: wonderful things. The EPA conservatively estimates that you’re going to manage a 26 MPG average on the highways surrounding Seattle, Renton, and Bellevue. When you combine this with the 19.5-gallon fuel tank, the crossover can go a full 507 miles on a single fill-up.
“Luxury†can mean different things to different people, although in INFINITI’s estimation, it’s about performance, convenience, and safety. We often focus on engine specifications and the like with these blogs, so let’s take a moment to discuss the two latter points and their implementation into the 2016 INFINITI Q50 3.0t Sport.
This is a car that’s stuffed with goodies that will make any ride more enjoyable. If you want a little extra light and/or a fresh breeze, the overhead sunroof is powered, opening/closing and sliding/tilting with the press of a button. Side mirrors are heated to dispel of ice, slush, and snow, improving visibility. Likewise, front fog lights are standard and make navigating through low-lying clouds a relative cinch. All combine to make life just that much easier on your drives.
Safety on the 2016 INFINITI Q50 3.0t Sport really gets a boost thanks to Backup Collision Intervention. This feature combines an onboard computer with radar technology on the sides and back of the sedan to alert you when an obstacle is in your way. Further, it can automatically stop the vehicle for you if a collision is imminent. Incredible!


INFINITI is a creator of superlative motoring experiences. It’s their specialty; their primary purpose and unapologetic obsession. Nowhere is this dedication better seen than in the manufacturing of the 2015 Q60S, a car that rocks and rolls with high performance and sophisticated technology.
Not all coupes are created equal—that becomes abundantly clear the moment you get behind the wheel of the Q60S, start the engine, and push the pedal down. The machine is outfitted with a 3.7L V6 motor that cranks out 330 HP at 7,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 270-lb.-ft. at 5,200 RPM. And while some like the leisurely approach of an automatic transmission, fans of enthusiast vehicles tend to dig a manual… and that’s standard on this auto!

There’s a ton of technology to make every trip within the 2015 INFINITI Q60S a special one. On fair days, you can enjoy the overhead sunroof, which electronically tilts and opens. During poor weather events, you can use the heated functionality of the side mirrors to keep ice and slush off the glass. Throughout your journeys, the onboard GPS navigation system helps you keep your bearings, and the parking assist functionality quickens your exit from your car once you reach the destination.

The refinement of the 2016 QX80 speaks volumes about INFINITI’s dedication to detail and intense pursuit of perfection. It wasn’t enough just to make this a huge vehicle full of presence and passenger-hauling capability—no, they had to go a full step further, introducing a true luxury SUV with the features and engineering consumers crave.
Â
This machine is packed with technology and convenience attributes which set it far ahead of the pack. There are rain-sensing windshield wipers to automatically adjust to precipitation levels and make your journey safer. Also, the included navigation system makes getting to your destination a breeze, and once you’re there, parking assist takes over to handle the final step for you. And there are a couple of seemingly small but deceptively important additions, as well, including lumbar support for your back and a 60-40 split-bench setup to maximize spaciousness.
Â

And wow, can the 2016 INFINITI QX80 move! It’s outfitted with a 3.5L V6 engine that generates thrills as a function of the 265 HP and 248-lb.-ft. of torque at its command. Plus, this isn't a herky-jerky ride; instead, the SUV comes with a sensationally smooth Xtronic two-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The 2015 INFINITI QX60 is an American favorite… and once you dig into the details, it isn’t difficult to see why. This crossover makes both performance and utility hallmarks of its nature, offering consumers a wickedly powerful engine and sensational storage area.
First, there’s that motor that we just have to rave about. You’d expect a six-cylinder in a car of this class and that’s exactly what you’re getting—a 3.5L V6 variant, to be exact. However, what you may find to be unexpected is just how much power generation is going on here. The specifications make an impression immediately—you’re dealing with an available 265 HP at 6,400 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 248-lb.-ft. at 4,400 RPM. And since it’s all united with the manufacturer’s celebrated Xtronic two-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), you’re getting an even smoother shifting experience than received with a conventional automatic.
There is just oodles of space inside the 2015 QX60, too. Thanks to the delightful 60/40 split-folding rear seats, you can fold them down in a pinch and open up a massive total of 76.5 cubic feet of cargo area. But hey, don’t sweat it if you need the cushions up to accommodate extra passengers because you’ll still have 15.8 cubic feet to work with. That’s the same or better than what a sedan provides!


It’s not enough just to drive in style these days. While many automobiles have nice lines and shiny rims, substance is often left by the wayside. However, this simply isn’t the case with the 2015 INFINITI Q50 Premium, a sedan that delivers a combination of pragmatism for growing families as well as luxury refinements.
This is the perfect sedan for hauling stuff thanks to its roomy dimensions. The 2015 INFINITI Q50 Premium measures 189″ L x 72″ W x 57″ H, offering a standard 13.5 cubic feet of storage for groceries, luggage, and more. However, the beauty of this car becomes clear when you realize that 60/40 split-folding rear seats are included. When these are folded down, you’re suddenly looking at a total of 47.4 cubic feet of space—that’s a whole lot considering this isn’t a crossover!
The 2015 Q50 Premium is a celebration of design on the interior. The bucket seats are wildly comfortable thanks to their highly-bolstered structuring which gently holds passengers in place even when you whip around corners with aplomb. They’re eight-way power adjustable, too, while sporting full lumbar support for the lower back. Additionally, the center dash’s various controls are driver-focused and arranged so as to be easily within arm’s reach.
If you’re looking for a complete luxury sedan experience, we welcome you to turn to the incredible 2015 INFINITI Q40. It is chock-full of performance and beautifully outfitted with some of the finest comfort and convenience technologies available today.
This sedan will prowl the streets of Tacoma and Seattle with gusto and aplomb. It’s packed with a 3.7L V6 engine that contends with and even outpaces some of the finest motors available. It does so thanks to its 328 HP and 269-lb.-ft. of torque which is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and the enjoyable performance offered by rear-wheel drive. Additionally, efficiency is here in spades with its 27 highway / 19 city average MPG.
The interior of the 2015 Q40 aims to please, too. The leather heated front seats keep you toasty no matter the time of year, while the electronically warmed side mirrors are a boon to your safety as a function of their ability to dispel with wintry precipitation. Further, comfort is enhanced thanks to dual-zone automatic climate control and its ability to cater to separate sides of the cabin simultaneously.
