2019 Infiniti QX60 in Forest City, NC - $18,911

Introduced last year, the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid not only becomes the third hybrid in the Infiniti lineup but it adds a second powertrain choice for buyers of Infiniti's popular premium crossover vehicle.

The new Infiniti QX60 Hybrid is projected to realize a 24 percent increase in fuel economy over non-hybrid QX60 models. Most significantly, it does so with absolutely no compromise of performance, interior roominess or cargo space compared to the standard QX60 models.
The aerodynamic shape of the QX60 results in a coefficient of drag of 0.34. A front underbody spoiler, integrated rear spoiler and rear tire deflectors also help contribute to its zero front and rear lift for enhanced road holding. The exterior is highlighted by the dramatic, double-arch front grille/headlight shape, double-wave hood, and crescent-cut D-pillar and greenhouse design.

The Infiniti QX60 Hybrid is offered in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations with four available equipment packages: Driver Assistance Package, Maple Interior Trim, HEV Premium Package and HEV Deluxe Touring Package. Power for the QX60 Hybrid is generated by a QR25DER 2.5L supercharged four-cylinder engine and 15 kW electric motor connected to an advanced CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

Based on technology found in the Infiniti M35h Hybrid, the QX60 Hybrid's Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid® system uses a compact Lithium-ion battery and electric motor to provide supplementary power through its one-motor/two-clutch system. The result is best-in-class fuel economy without compromise of performance. An Intelligent Regenerative Braking system partially recharges the battery during vehicle braking.
In addition, with use of the compact Li-ion battery located under the 3rd row seat, the QX60 Hybrid maintains its flat rear floor for easier passenger access to the rear seats and no reduction of cargo room.

Responsive handling and flat ride comfort is provided by an independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars - which combine with the high stiffness/low vibration sensitivity body to help create a quiet, comfortable interior environment for all occupant.

Inside the vehicle body, thanks to the compact battery design and location under the 3rd row seat, the QX60 Hybrid's flexible interior offers nearly six inches of 2nd row seat travel - allowing legroom and cargo space to be conveniently adjusted between the 2nd and 3rd rows as needed. The 3rd row provides ample headroom and knee room for adults or children. Access to the 3rd row is surprisingly easy due to the wide door openings and long forward slide of the 2nd row seat. The QX60's multi-mode 2nd row seat's unique forward movement function overcomes the typical problem of having to remove a 2nd row child seat for entry or exit.

The installed child seat moves forward with the 2nd row seat (40 percent side of 60/40 split-folding seat) without limiting 3rd row access. In addition, both 2nd and 3rd row seats are split folding (60/40 2nd row, 50/50 3rd row) and recline for greater occupant comfort. Leather-appointed seating is standard, along with heated front seats with eight-way power driver's seat and six-way power front passenger's seat.
The QX60 Hybrid's interior design also combines elegance and fine craftsmanship. Key design features include the signature driver-oriented cockpit, thin chrome accents, and an interior color palette that provides an elegant color harmony - Wheat, Graphite or Java leather appointments with Kasane Washi trim or available Maple trim accents.

Along with its wave-like flow, the instrument panel is highlighted by the Infiniti Intelligent-View display in the center meter cluster, along with large, easy-to-read Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges, and standard seven-inch color vehicle information display. Special HEV information screens are added to display Hybrid power usage and charge regeneration readouts.
