It’s not every day you see a seven-passenger luxury crossover making headlines for its efficiency. However, thanks to inspired design, this 2014 INFINITI QX60 Hybrid is able to deliver class-leading fuel economy to Washington roads — without compromising performance.
The system utilizes the brand’s Direct Response one-motor/two-clutch system to optimize the athletic prowess while keeping gas tabs low. Equipped with a 2.5-liter supercharged engine and a 15 kW electric motor, it nets 250 HP with 243 lb-ft of torque, which, really isn’t far off from the standard model’s V6 that compares at 265 HP and 248 lb-ft of torque.
Connected to an advanced Continuously Variable Transmission, the QX60h is rated to earn 26 MPG for city and highway combined. This figure is a 24% increase over the non-hybrid versions of this crossover.
To further impress, an Intelligent Regenerative Braking system converts the pressure from the dampers into energy that contributes to partially recharging the compact lithium-ion battery — also improving your eco-friendly efforts.
