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!
