2015 Infiniti QX60 review notes: The car remains the same - Autoweek
Newly named QX60 brings back memories of our long-term JX. ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: Hopping into this QX60 , I was reminded of the long-term JX35 that left our fleet … gee, must have been two years ago. Except for the name change, which I’m still struggling with, the QX60 has apparently been stuck in a time warp. Heck, sticker price is within a hundred bucks or so. 2. I’ve somehow managed to remember a three-row SUV from ages ago, which means it was probably somehow distinctive, either shockingly bad or memorably good at its job. Well -- spoiler alert -- the JX35/QX60 is not shockingly bad. I think it looks better in darker colors. Nissan/Infiniti’s move into continuously variable transmissions has proved wise -- though we once used to comment, without fail, on the presence of a CVT (usually to complain), they’re becoming ever-more prevalent and seemingly getting better all... 5-liter/CVT combo right here is still one of the least offensive pairings on the market. There’s no real need to switch into “sport” mode while driving the QX60. normal isn’t bad, and “eco” isn’t painful for puttering around town. I think the accelerator pedal-feel “plateau” the car conjures up to keep you from flooring the throttle is a particularly clever way of limiting fuel use (you can still push the pedal to the floor for wanton-ish acceleration).
