Infiniti Unveils First Look at the All-New 2022 QX60 Luxury Crossover
Infiniti has revealed the first design highlights of its all-new 2022 Infiniti QX60, a luxury three-row crossover. This unveiling is part of Infiniti’s ongoing commitment to delivering confident driving experiences and robust performance across its vehicle lineup.
Powerful V6 Engine and New Nine-Speed Transmission
The 2022 Infiniti QX60 luxury crossover arrives equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 295 horsepower—a multi-award-winning powertrain. This engine pairs with an all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, designed to strike the perfect balance between power, fuel efficiency, and responsive handling. The duo represents the latest addition to Infiniti’s renowned QX series.
Infiniti Leadership Comments on the New QX60
Peyman Kargar, Chairman of Infiniti, stated: “The all-new 2022 Infiniti QX60 embodies the core values of our brand. Our teams in Japan and the United States worked tirelessly to bring the most advanced three-row QX60 crossover to our customers yet.”
He added, “The QX60 is the cornerstone of Infiniti, bringing our design philosophies to life. More updates will be announced soon—stay tuned.”
Extensive Testing for Superior Comfort and Performance
Infiniti has conducted intensive testing and calibration for the new nine-speed transmission in the QX60, ensuring a powerful yet comfortable drive. Infiniti teams across North America dedicated thousands of hours and kilometers behind the wheel to fine-tune the crossover’s responsiveness, handling, and overall driving behavior. Engineers from Infiniti’s Arizona Test Center also subjected the QX60 to extreme heat in locations like Death Valley, California, with temperatures exceeding 50°C, rigorously testing the vehicle’s cooling and cabin environment systems.
Refined Cabin Experience Amid Harsh Conditions
For years, Infiniti engineers have worked on making the QX60’s cabin exceptionally quiet and comfortable by isolating engine vibrations—even under severe heat and challenging environments. Every component was meticulously evaluated, from the all-new nine-speed automatic transmission developed in collaboration with ZF, to climate and weather durability around the windows.
Performance Engineering and Driving Confidence
Dave Kiesel, Powertrain Performance Manager at Infiniti’s Arizona Test Center, said: “The all-new QX60 delivers a direct and linear acceleration feel, giving drivers the confidence to accelerate, whether on highways or in city traffic. Simply press the brakes, and the speed drops smoothly.”
Kiesel added, “The new nine-speed transmission offers a wider gear spread—almost 10:1—enabling customers to enjoy consistent, confident, and responsive performance. As a result, you can maintain excellent highway fuel efficiency.”
Enhanced Comfort and Advanced Transmission Features
Infiniti engineers further improved performance metrics by providing a broader gear ratio spread, boosting passenger comfort. Subtle gear changes via the new nine-speed automatic transmission are complemented by Infiniti’s active torque converter, which isolates engine vibrations from the cabin and enhances interior tranquility.
Spacious and Adaptable Interior with Multiple Drive Modes
Inside the new QX60, Infiniti’s innovative transmission layout creates greater usable space in and around the center console, ensuring this enhanced area is practical for daily use. The all-new Infiniti QX60 offers five selectable driving modes—Standard, Eco, Snow, Sport, and Personal—to suit every driver’s preferences and needs.
Designed for Tranquility and Comfort
The combination of the robust 3.5-liter V6 engine and the advanced nine-speed automatic transmission is engineered to deliver a serene and comfortable driving experience—perfectly aligned with the expectations of QX60 customers.
Further details about the all-new 2022 Infiniti QX60 will be announced soon.
