Infiniti Q60: generations, engines and trims
The Infiniti Q60 is a two-door coupe that has replaced the G37 coupe since 2013 and evolved into a completely new second generation in 2016. We look at how the two generations differ, which engines and trims are most popular, and what to check when buying a used Q60 in Lithuania.
Q60 in brief
The Q60 is a rear-wheel-drive (or optionally all-wheel-drive) sporty coupe with 2+2 seating. The first generation was essentially a rebranded G37 coupe, while the second (2016–2022) shares its platform with the Q50 sedan and features a more distinctive, aggressively styled design.
The Q60 is a rare sight in Lithuania — a niche car for those who appreciate unique styling over popularity. As a result, the used market is small, and prices vary depending on the engine and trim.
Which generation to choose
The first generation (circa 2013–2015) offers classic styling and a naturally aspirated 3.7-litre V6 engine, appealing to those who prefer simpler, more traditional technology.
The second generation (V37, 2016–2022) is more modern and spacious, with two multimedia screens, advanced safety systems, and turbocharged engines. Most used Q60s fall into this category, making it the primary focus.
Engines and transmissions
The first-generation Q60 came with a 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine (around 330 hp) paired with a 7-speed automatic or 6-speed manual gearbox. In Europe, the second-generation offered a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine (around 210 hp), co-developed with Mercedes-Benz, and a 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engine — around 300 hp, or around 400 hp in the sportier Red Sport 400 version.
Most second-generation models come with a 7-speed automatic gearbox. An all-wheel-drive option is also available, which is worth considering in Lithuania due to winter conditions.
What to check when buying a used Q60
In the second-generation models, test the steering: some have an electronic steering system (Direct Adaptive Steering) that operates differently from the norm — see if you like the feel before buying. Also, check if the infotainment system works smoothly, as it has been criticised for being sluggish since its launch.
Check turbo engines (especially the 3.0-litre) against their service history and oil change regularity, and due to the sporty suspension and large wheels, inspect the suspension and tyre wear. For the first-generation 3.7-litre V6, evaluate it based on mileage and oil consumption.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Q60 worth buying in Lithuania?
If you want a unique coupe and aren't put off by less common parts or servicing, then yes. Before buying, find out where you can get the car serviced.
Which engine is best?
For most, the 3.0-litre V6 turbo petrol is the way to go – it offers a great blend of power and comfort. If fuel economy is more important, consider the 2.0-litre turbo.
Does the Q60 have all-wheel drive?
Yes, it's offered as an optional extra. It's more practical for Lithuanian winters than just a rear-wheel drive.
