Infiniti, a Japanese luxury car manufacturer, seems to be inventing itself lately, more than one. Their new hybrid model, the QX60, a crossover SUV that promotes style and comfort, reflects the Infiniti goal to meet international automotive trends, and, boy, it did it or what!
You can find a hybrid Infiniti QX60, almost exactly similar to the earlier Infiniti JX. This is due to the fact that the QX60 is in fact the same vehicle, which has been renamed to the new rules of the nomenclature, which has recently been adopted by the manufacturer. The only significant difference between the QX60 and JX is, as was shown at the New York Auto Show in 2013, that it has a hybrid transmission, which makes the car a sporty as well as economical fuel.
Unlike the JX, which worked on a 3.5-liter V-6 engine and 265 horsepower, the QX60 line uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder charge engine supported by a 15 kW engine with a lithium-ion battery. This mechanism provides a combined power of 250 horsepower, 243 lb-ft of torque. As a result, while the JX delivers 20 mpg fuel economy, the new QX60 hybrid promises an impressive 26 mpg. It is equipped with an Infiniti drive mode select switch, which allows the driver to adjust the throttle sensitivity and shear point according to four pre-installed models - standard, snow, sports and eco. Infiniti claims that this model will provide the best fuel economy among all seven-way luxury crossovers available on the market today.
This is definitely a hybrid powertrain that won the QX60 with great attention and appreciation. However, it must be the fact that, like the JX, the QX60 is an extremely luxurious and durable car. With a seven-seater seat, a long hood and a low ceiling, this crossover is elegant and family-oriented, and not as durable and sporty as before, the Infiniti SUV and crossover. In terms of interior design, the QX60 Hybrid is designed to provide its passengers with a comfortable and superbly rich experience. The passage of the third row can be manipulated in several ways, and the crossover is equipped with several innovative means to help the driver. These include an excellent Around View monitor, an optional backup security camera, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, intelligent braking assistance and a unique blind spot detection system.
It is interesting to note that when the QX60 was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in 2013, few expected such radical changes in the internal technology of the old model. After this revelation, there were many expectations about his release. Despite the fact that Infiniti did not announce the official release date, they said that they will pass along the roads "this summer". It is expected that the hybrid crossover will cost about $ 3,000 compared to the original JX model, the base model of which costs about $ 42,245. Since and when this car is released for sale, many motorists with large families and / or aa tendency to luxury will rush to the nearest car dealers to buy the same.
