Infiniti QX60: generations, engines and what to know when buying used
The Infiniti QX60 is a seven-seat premium crossover. In this article, we look at both generations, the engines, and what to check if you're hunting for this model in Lithuania, often imported from the USA.
Infiniti QX60 in brief
The QX60 is a large premium crossover with three rows of seats, ideal for families or frequent travellers. The first generation (L50) debuted around 2012-2013, the second (L51) in 2021.
This model isn't common in Lithuania and is usually imported from the USA. It's valued for its spacious and comfortable interior.
Which generation to choose
The first generation (L50) is simpler and usually cheaper on the used market. It features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that requires careful inspection.
The second generation (L51) is newer, with an automatic transmission, a more modern interior, and more driver-assistance systems. It's pricier but technically superior, making it a better choice for those seeking a newer car.
Engines and transmissions
Both generations feature a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine as standard. The first generation also offered a hybrid variant with a smaller turbocharged engine and electric motor.
The first generation has a CVT, the second an automatic. Drive is to the front or all wheels.
What to check when buying a used QX60
For the first generation, focus on the CVT: listen for vibrations or judders when moving off, and ask about its service history. Check if the oil and other fluids have been changed.
Check all three rows of seats, seatbelts, and the sunroof if present. For imported cars, check the vehicle history, documents, and previous accidents.
Trim levels
Names and equipment vary by market and year; we list the versions most commonly found in Europe.
