2015 Infiniti QX60 - Roanoke Times
What once (for just one brief introductory model year ) was known as the JX is now the QX60. That decodes to a mid-size, three-row crossover utility with available all-wheel drive. The QX60 shares its underpinnings with the Nissan Pathfinder, and like its less-luxurious counterpart offers a hybrid version. The QX60 has already blazed a new trail for Infiniti, as it's the first three-row vehicle sold by the brand that's not based on truck underpinnings. It's squarely in the center of the luxury crossover market, compared to the QX70 (nee FX), which is sportier and less capacious, and the larger, thirstier, truck-based QX80 (which, believe it or not, was previously the QX56). The Infiniti QX60... The base QX50, called QX60 3. 5 because of its engine's size, uses a 265-hp, 3. 5-liter V-6 engine paired with a continuously variable transmission. Along with its name change last year, the QX60 gained a second powertrain option, a hybrid. Called, very simply, the QX60 Hybrid, it features Nissan's Direct Response Hybrid technology, which combines a 2. 5-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine with a single 15-kilowatt electric.
