Infiniti just killed off its last #vq35 #v6 engine in the #qx60 -Only boosted four cylinders in the lineup outside of the #twinturbov6 in the #qx80. #vcturbo #nissanpathfinder #pathfinder
The 2025 INFINITI QX60 makes a bold play for families seeking a refined and elegant three-row crossover with the addition of a Black Edition package, a more fuel-efficient engine and additional equipment on the popular LUXE grade. The 2025 INFINITI QX60 arrives in showrooms mid-July 2024 with a starting MSRP1 of $50,200.
The 2025 INFINITI QX60 offers buyers a choice of four appealing grades, each of which can be optionally equipped with INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel Drive2 (standard on AUTOGRAPH). For added reassurance, every QX60 features a standard suite of active safety technology including Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist.
New for this model year, all QX60 grades now feature a new key fob design with approach unlock and walkaway locking functionality. When enabled, this feature automatically locks or unlocks the vehicle, as appropriate, by detecting when someone with the key fob walks up to or away from the QX60.
The 2025 INFINITI QX60 PURE starts at $50,200 ($52,200 with AWD) and includes a generous list of equipment including leather-appointed first- and second-row seating, heated front seats, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control and INFINITI InTouch™ featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Android Auto™, wireless Apple CarPlay®, SiriusXM® Radio and nine speakers.
Stepping up to the QX60 LUXE grade ($56,800 or $58,800 with AWD) augments the model's appeal with the addition of 20-inch wheels, a 12.3-inch INFINITI Dynamic Meter Display, remote engine start, ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row seats and more. A Bose® Performance series 17-speaker sound system is newly standard on LUXE grade.
For an additional $1,900, LUXE can be equipped with the new Black Edition package. It enhances QX60's appearance with gloss black 20-inch wheels, plus gloss black roof rails, grille surround and exterior emblems. An illuminated INFINITI emblem in the front grille complements illuminated kickplates and Welcome Lighting. A black headliner completes the Black Edition treatment on the inside of the cabin; on the outside, clients select from Mineral Black, Majestic White or new-for-2025 Harbor Gray paint.
The 2025 INFINITI QX60 SENSORY starts at $59,100 ($61,100 with AWD) and builds on the well-equipped LUXE grade with the addition of massaging front seats, illuminated kickplates, a motion-activated liftgate, open pore ash wood-appointed interior trim and enhanced interior ambient lighting.
As the ultimate expression of the QX60, the AUTOGRAPH grade ($66,150, exclusively with AWD) delights with semi-aniline leather-appointed seating for the first and second rows, with quilting, perforation and contrast stitching. It features second-row captain's chairs as standard, plus a head-up display and a Smart Rear View Mirror that provides a less-obstructed view behind the vehicle3. To prepare for clients who desire to tow, QX60 AUTOGRAPH is additionally equipped with a trailer hitch receiver and harness. All grades of the 2025 QX60 have a towing rating of up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped4.

The last remaining bulletproof VQ engines from Nissan are the 3.5L VQ35DD remaining in the Pathfinder (for now), and the VQ38DD 3.6L v6 in the Frontier. Pour one out for the VQ...
Doesn’t Murano still have it
@@chezzyperson3339 Jes but Reports say the New one will have a Turbo 4
Wish they just use the frontier 3.8l v6
@@chezzyperson3339 I believe the new Murano later this fall will still have the 3.5 with the transmission out of Pathfinder.

I hope Nissan keeps the V6 in the frontier because it’s the best midsize pick up on sale rn.
It is, one of if not the only v6 offered in a midsize truck
@@bobblofinshlof9741Ridgeline has a V6 too
@@LouAntonioGiordano be real, it is a car with a truck bed, I refuse to consider it as a truck
@@bobblofinshlof9741the ranger now has an option for a 2.7l v6 ecoboost without paying raptor prices but even as a ford guy I'd rather have the cyclone instead
Honda will remove the V6 from mainstream vehicles if not 2025 then 2026. They may go with hybridization with a 4 popper or a defined 2.0T from the last gen accord.
If the QX60 gets back the CVT, game over for Infiniti
No it's sticking with a normal 9-speed automatic
More likely to see the QX50/55 adopt the 9 spd. This is a new tranny and they need to recoup its R&D costs.
4 cylinder turbos can never match the refinement of a V6, also reliability.
Govt is out of control.
The SCOTUS overturned the 1983 Chevron Deference case which empowered federal agencies. Current regulations must still be challenged in federal courts. Only the elected representatives can now create federal regulations
They turning into eu
Globalist agenda
It’s the democrats..
@@Olph1 Well it's not only the government fault. People these days don't care what kind of vehicle they buy. If people stop buying these junk vehicles with 4 cylinder turbos the car companies will have to listen and keep the V6 and V8s around. The consumer and their money have more power than you think!
I’m done 😤 this madness needs to stop ✋🏾
We are 3% of the population yet we take all the responsibility for emissions. Absolutely ridiculous.
This powertrain combo would’ve been dope for the sedans.
But for the larger SUVs?
I bought a 2022 Nissan Maxima new. VQ35DE is the engine. Yeah, I'm going to keep it for a very long time.
I put Infiniti QX60 on my next new car list because of V6 but now I change my mind!!..
Still can , just get a 2022-2024 model
It is so sad Infiniti is no longer making stronger engines such as they did with the FX 50, which had a strong 390 hp back in like 2010!
VR30, VR38
You can thank the government and the insane emissions every car manufacture needs to follow. This isn't just Infiniti, it's all brands. Why do you think BMW went to a inline 6 turbo instead of the legendary V8 and V10 monsters on their M series? Why do you think Mercedes went to a V6 turbo instead of their legendary V8 and V6 on their AMG models? It's due to the insane emissions countries all over the world continue to push year after year. Ford and these American companies gets a break here in the US why? Because they are so called made in America aka America's brand, while other manufacturers needs to follow the insane emissions laws here in the US.
@@DJG37S I know that, but BMW still has cars with V8 as I know. They still make cars with plenty of power.
@@MrStevenAttila BMW does not make any pure v8’s lol!!!! Example the only v8 bmw makes is the x5 m60i which is a hybrid. Meaning that it has an electrical engine to greatly reduce emissions.
@@DJG37S But they still make stronger engines than any Japanese cars this is my point! Does Lexus or Infiniti have cars with 550, 600 hp?? NO, they don't do that, and I think this is sad. Now the Japanese are killing off their Sedans, which the Germany are not! And maybe BMW does not offer as many V8 as they did before, but they still make a few ones, Audi also makes some.
Well the world is going to full of boring silver/gray and black soccer mom SUVs with underpowered 4 cylinder turbos, hybrids and EV powertrains
Exactly
This makes the old one with 3.5l na v6 with cvt better than the vc turbo 9 speed 😂😂😂
Keep voting blue
I just don't understand how this is an improvement. In a vehicle this big loaded full of people and luggage driving around town. Wouldn't the engine constantly be working in low compression mode and therefore get terrible fuel economy? The VQ is one of the most fuel efficient 6 cylinders out there, I'll be very surprised if this new engine is actually more fuel efficient.
@@girthycucumber4274 The current Nissan 2.0 turbo has a variable compression. It can go high compression while off boost and lower it while on boost.
In my opinion, I think all the midsize 3 SUVs that have a turbocharged inline 4 needs to upsize to an inline 6 with a mild hybrid system like the cx 90
And Genesis GV80
The QX60 in China had this Combination since Launch
With their commitment to EV future (NO hybrids) Acura is basically stuck with their V6, they cannot get rid of it in either MDX or the MDX/TLX Type S. Because the 4 cylinder niche is already full in Acura lineup with the Integra, RDX and the up coming ADX. If they downgrade the MDX to 4 cylinder, it will become completely useless.
MDX/TLX with only a 2.0T instead of a V6 option will cheapen the brand. No reason to buy Acura when Honda exists
Also, they’re 2.0T are HORRENDOUS on gas.
I had a 21 Accord 2.0T and I drove 95% city. Is averaged 12.8L/100km (18Mpg). I now have an inline 6 BMW with 382hp and I average 11.1L/100km ( 21Mpg). If I put it in eco pro, I can get down to 8.0l/100km (30Mpg).
I would also like to note I work for Honda as well. We get a lot of RDX’s traded in, and number 1 reason is fuel efficiency.
@@LemonViper00my 21 TLX A-Spec fwd averages 23 mpg so long as I drive it normally/conservatively….and I’m running a stage 3 tune. A stock tune should return better fuel economy than I get.
Acura will transition to either 2.0t or hybridization. People will always pick a badge. Same comment can be made even now, both the pilot and mdx have v6s. But the pilot has a more practical interior, more cargo and passenger volume, and is cheaper. Why pick an MDX? All large displacement will be replaced and it will start with the luxury variants of the brand. Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, and Honda/Acura. If you want a midsize Japanese V6, pick up a 2024 QX60/Pathfinder/Pilot/MDX while you can.
The Chinese QX60 has had the 2.0 since this current gen if im not mistaken.
I'm HOPING this is a part of an overall powertrain revamp and rollout and that next year when the QX60 is fully refreshed they'll debut a more powerful powertrain. With the death of the Q50 this year, the only car that now has the 3.0TT VR30 is the Z... I know that can't be the case since it's low volume... so I'm thinking maybe they will adapt the VR30 for transverse/FWD applications and introduce it on the updated QX60 and the new QX65. It would also be awesome if they add some kind of electrification to it.
There killing the q50?
@@gabrielriley2388 Yes, 2024 is the last year. No sedan until the electric sedan debuts.
QX60 is not going to get a full refresh next year. This model has been out since 2022. Knowing Infiniti with their 7-8 cycle on prior QX60’s, we probably won’t see a redesign until 2029
@@michaelg919Infiniti has come out and mentioned that they plan on giving proper refreshes on their vehicles in shorter time periods. They have to get rid of their dated car stigma and they’re aware of that. I’m assuming the refreshed QX60 will debut next year, for the 2026 model year, along with the new QX65. (Hopefully)
@@stevie421 not happening. Even for any manufacturer having only a 4 year cycle on a model is too short. At most I would say is 6 years. Also the current gen QX60 is no where near dated and is a strong competitor against most luxury car manufacturers.
You can blame emissions across the US and and the world for this. I'm so glad that We bought the 2024 Infiniti QX60 autograph last year, my wife has been in love with this car, and how well and redefined it is. I would have never bought the QX60 if it was going to be a 4 cylinder turbo.
VG30E was my introduction to the series, in my pearl white 1990 Maxima SE 5 speed manual. Man, what a solid car and great engine.
Remember when almost all infiniti's had v6's and v8's, even their sedans? I just can't get excited for new vehicles these days..
As soon as I seen the notification I knew it was the VQ’s 😢
On the right side underneath the pictures on the screen. It says press kit you click there and it tells you about the engine
Thanks!
I was hoping the 2.0 VCT would make its way to the Rogue but I guess that dream is dead...
Rogue already has the 1.5 VCT I-3.
I was under the impression that VC Turbo engines can only be paired with CVTs.
Mercedes & INFINITI were supposed to Co-Develop a next-gen crossover, but they stopped developing it because the VC-T could only be paired to a CVT. They still ended up creating a joint venture production facility in aguascalientes, Mexico.
Not how it works. It’s just variable compression. It’ll work fine in a regular transmission.
@@2seep I'm aware of how VC engines work, but I've seen several reviews claiming they can inly br paired to CVTs, unclear why that was said.
@@LegalEagle117 Maybe by that time and now they can. But I also think everything is possible. Why should any gasoline engine only work with one type of transmission.
I think they will keep the VQ around for the bigger vehicles the Frontier and the Z for a long time. Hopefully the rumors about the GT-R going full EV are false and Nissan realizes real car guys want an ICE, a performance hybrid is fine but a full BEV is fast but is a borefest after a few laps, so they will keep the V6 around for that too.
I think the typical CUV customer could careless about what pushes their econobox around to football practice and the DIY store for a bag of mulch so the VC should be fine in these.
50k for a turbo 4 cyl 😂😂😂 only one with no brain drops that kinda of money on it
huh?? You act like Nissan had a choice, this is going to be the new standard in the future due to the insane emissions that are being passed. Toyota, and Honda already started, I mean they replaced their V8s for V6 turbo's didn't they? Soon they will be replacing their N/A V6's for a 4 cylinder turbo just like what Nissan is doing.
@@DJG37S right it’s like people just don’t understand that these are companies. They have to comply with rules and regulations.
People drop that type of money on four cylinders all the time most luxury brands car brands, in general are downsizing because they have to
Every mercedes in that price range has a 4 cyl..
Mazda ftw, their I6 engine is more efficient than competitors less powerful I4 engines
Only because It's a hybrid.
@@KirkKreifels It's only a mild hybrid, not a full hybrid, also nothing is stopping other manufacturers from making hybrid 6-cylinder engine
@@KirkKreifelsSo mild hybridize the V6
I bet the Pathfinder will switch to New Engine
Most likely but they new to qx80 which it shares a platform with has a 3.5tt
@@terelll6990pathfinder had already dropped v6 in favour of 2.0t. And qx80 is a completely different car platform with longitudinaly mounted engine.
@@pontymighton got my models confused lol
@@pontymightonwhen did the pathfinder get the 4cyl? 2024 is still a V6
@@pontymightonthey did not drop the v6 yet… I literally was going to get one before I decided to go ariya….. stop the misinformation please!
He were definitely gonna miss that 27 hp when they’re trying to pass or quickly merge onto the highway. And we all know that that 2 L turbo is not gonna do any better fuel economy in the real world.
I get pretty good mileage on the 4cyl and merging is not a problem
@@Macsleuththe v6 is still better at both
@@wigletron2846 for sure, when you drive the v6 easy gas mileage is good had a couple Pathfinders with the V6.
So buy the current 2024 QX60. Got it. Or save $10k and buy the Platinum Pathfinder.
Bummer
Can’t wait to see what the VR35DDTT brings to the table. I love my VR30DDTT in my Z and Q.
They already offer the 2.0 Turbo in China, that's due to the tax on higher displacement engines over there
Sign of the times. And I don’t really care much what kind of motor an everyday vehicle has as long as it’s reliable and refined.
5:53 WRONG - it has nothing to do with emissions, there are PLENTY of other, more powerful luxury models that still use 6- and 8-cylinder engines. Also Mazda's new I6 engine has lower emissions than most ciompetitors with I4 engines. Stop listening to marketing lies. In reality it's just about costs / profit.
It's emissions.
@@KirkKreifels You just ignored what I wrote - AGAIN: There are literally dozens of other models with 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder engines. All of them obviously have to meet EXACTLY THE SAME emission limits. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Genesis, Acura, Lincoln, Jeep, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, etc. Also 6-cylinder hybrids have LOWER emissions than 4-cylinder non-hybrids. Also anyone can look up EPA MPG ratings of all midsize 3-row SUVs, the 4-cylinder models do NOT get higher MPG than the 6-cylinder models: Toyota GH I4T 22-24 MPG combined, VW Atlas I4T 20-23 MPG, Chevrolet Traverse I4T 20-21 MPG, Subaru Ascent 21-22 MPG
@Mgoblagulkablong
Exactly.
Sorry but it’s government mandates and emissions. Note a lot of those 6 cylinders have hybrid or plug in technology
i6 / v6 can be worked around for better emissions, the tradeoff is if one wants to deal with a mild hybrid system or cylinder deactivation etc
is the vc-turbo in the infinitis and nissans the same? just the infinitis have more power?
Yes, premium fuel
@@KirkKreifels Are all mid size SUVs going to lose V6 still even after Chevron plan restricts epa?? Is this permanent?
Mazda will drop the 2.0l engine for Miata here in Europe. We will be stuck with only 1.5l.
Out of control! I myself miss the QX70S (FX50) and its engine and 21" black wheels. That thing was a badass!!!!!
Rip the vq 😢 im gonna rock with mine til it gives out! Trumpets 🎺 for life!!
I currently own a QX60 runs great I actually like the V6 do you think it's a good car or that I mess up
Emissions regulations are often given as a reason for going from V6/V8 to I4, but there is never any detail given. What emissions specifically? How much variance is there on the emissions in question? Those details would round out a review a bit.
Bringing back the i30 as the cheapest Infiniti money could buy would be nice though. Basically a Nissan Sentra-derived luxury compact car with the Nissan Rogue's 1.5L turbo 3 cylinder VCT engine, leather appointed seats, dual zone climate control, full LED headlights and tail lights, both front seats powered, and a 9 speaker Bose premium audio system as standard.
When can you test drive one? Infiniti says its on sale now.
The VC turbo has been plagued with issues in the QX50 and 55. So idk how it will drive all I know is that my 23 gets almost 30mpg on the highway. Time will tell if it's reliable in the 60.
Just traded from QX60 2021 to a QX2025 New engine double turbo and is much more sporty and has more pick up so is strange but I tested the 2024 and 2025 I chose 2026 it felt more comfortable smoother than the v6 Hands down better overall the pick up is so much faster on a 2025 !!!
Man the v6 why
we need to tell them to stay with v6 or put the twin turbo v6 like in the QX80 ASAP!!!
was going to lease this - V6 was quiet and smooth. 4 cylinder loud and peppy. Doesn’t suit a luxury mid size SUV.
I plan on buying a 2023 pathfinder rock creek edition 4 years from now for like 25k this might be hard to find now because everyone will want the V6
Another one bites the dust. PS I'd wonder if your CPA advised you to sneak your kids into videos to work the tax laws to your advantage 😂
It’s the black edition. Not the caramel edition.
I wouldnt trust their vc turbos. I've seen the breakdown/ tear down of one and oh boy if that variable part goes bad ur whole engine is toast. More moving parts inside the engine that extensive or complicated I wouldn't like to deal with or own.
Plug his channel 😂
With the recent SCOTUS decision regarding the Chevron Deference, I see court challenges coming that will limit the EPA’s emissions and CAFE mandates. Even if successful, the damage to the market has been done and likely not going to result in a return to larger displacement engines.
Maybe Nissan will use a tune or give the VC bigger turbos to increase HP numbers,the QX60 should @ least have 300 HP.
Its not going to stop , EPA . Bring on the 4 CYL turbos
Sad but so has everything else basically, or a turbo 6 cylinder besides Honda now. I mean it should be able to handle it well if it’s tuned properly. Nobody complains about a 70k bmw or MBZ with a 2.0t.
I think what upsets me the most is killing off the manual V6 combo. Nissan knows better. They claim theyre all about the driving experience, they need to keep the manual alive in other cars besides the Z. Hell, id even buy a 2024 Nissan Sentra if it had a manual. But seriously, the Nissan Skyline is their most iconic car, why the fuck didnt the Q60/Q50 have a manual with the VR30??? Just stupid
I was a V6 fan until my mechanic told me how much it costs to change the spark plugs. I told him I can change it myself. He said he has to dismantle the wipers and a bunch of other things. Yikes.
False
That’s only on the rear wheel drive based models. For example I had a Lexus GS350 AWD that I skipped doing the spark plugs because of that
It depends on the V6 and what car it is in.
My dad had a Lexus ES300, and I was able to take a shortcut that make it fairly simple.
Some companies even find dumb ways to overcomplicate spark plug changes on inline fours. Some jerks wrap the intake manifold over the spark plugs so that it has to come off and get new gaskets.
@@Big.W. Do you mean FWD where they clock the engine towards the firewall? RWD it's usually pretty easy to get to both banks.
@@anydaynow01 no no on FWD the engine is sideways so you can get to all the spark plugs while on RWD based cars the engine is mounted the long way and as far back as possible so you can’t reach the very last spark plugs because they’re under your windshield in the firewall area
*You remind me of my wife in many aspects. I am not happy about the removal of the v6, but I am satisfied with the new engine. It feels like a significant improvement.*
For a brand with fewer and fewer market share, Infiniti has way too many engines in its line up. 3.0TT, 2.0T, 3.5, 5.6. In combination with emissions Infiniti will try to streamline their engines. Out with the 3.5 and 3.0tt (Q50) will soon be on chopping block. 2.0t with the ZF 9 spd will be the new mainstream power train and drivetrain for Infiniti.
Sounds like now is the time to get a NA V6 before it is too late. Also, I hope that if they bring back the Titan, it isn't with a turbo 6. Geez...
The other thing...why not give the VC-Turbo a better tune? You're paying more an Infiniti, you, as a consumer ought to get a 310 hp version of it?
I have a take I think it’s better for companies overall to get these new updated smaller engines. Apart from reliability and exhaust sounds there really no other benefit to these bigger engines I enjoy driving my Corolla much more than my tacoma it’s just an overall better vehicle and the bigger engine almost makes no sense when you have companies like Mercedes who came out with the c63s that alot of people hate but that car is simply impressive asf to say that a i4 competes with v8 vehicles is impressive. Also look at the Corolla gr that 3 cylinder is very impressive. What I do hate is those damn cvts they’re so underwhelming
Out of control indeed. This insane. And it’s not anymore fuel efficient than the V6. 10-15% better mileage is immaterial.
at least there will be less trumpets on the road
I just don't see it. More black on the outside is great, but on the inside it is ugly. The chrome trim accents the vehicle. Makes the vehicle pop. If anything, they needed to get rid of the ugly and low rent black plastic wheel well moldings and lower sill moldings. Some exposed exhaust outlets would have added to the appearance. But, the black package makes it a non-starter with me.
It’s not dropping the v6 that’s the problem, the problem is that they got no hybrids. Additionally, the fact that only qx80 is the only RWD based car in their whole lineup is just mind boggling, especially since qx50s are still on the same rwd platform yet they are now fwd…
Infiniti already can’t compete with its Japanese competitors, might as well go back to their “chase bmw “ strategy and redo their whole lineup with at least mild hybrids.
Q50/60 are rwd
@@KirkKreifels however, soon the q50 will be out of production as well, when Infiniti can’t really compete with lexus and acura on fwd cars, it really should have a serious look at what mazda are doing, new rwd platform with phev s and mild hybrids available, and they’re doing great.
They are all following each other with these 4cyl with a turbo and then a few months later, nothing but problems.
Tbh, why we do need this V6?
Luxury car refinement
Not to mention the force induction long term reliability is in question. Remember turbos don’t like to be short tripped; whereas you don’t have to worry about that with naturally aspirated engines. These vehicles are way too big for such small engines therefore a turbo is a must. And like the comment above said you just can’t beat that refinement v6 engines provide’s effortlessly.
Huh??? Clearly you don't know anything about cars. V6 N/A is the king of reliability, and you don't put a 4 cylinder turbo on a car that weights nearly 5000 pounds. That's so much work for the turbo and the engine. This is why V6 and V8 were so common and the older generations of SUV's that have V6 and V8's hardly have engine issues if you take care of the car. Go research car brands that are currently using turbos for their heavy mid size to full size SUV's and you will see that so many of them start to have turbo issues and engine issues simply because the engine is being overworked trying to haul a freaking 5000 pound + suv.
Go research Nissan V8's in the early 2013's, you will know these engines were built like tanks, especially the ones that were used in the QX56. I've seen one that has gone 300k miles on a stock engine that was in perfect condition, because the owner took care of their car.
Turbo charged engines are great for lighter cars, coupes, and sedans, but this is happening because oh yeah the governments across the whole world is putting more and more strict emission laws year after year.
Only thing "exciting" from Infiniti is the new QX80, everything else is questionable & wish them the best of luck! The QX50/55 have that awful CVT in them, i had a QX55 as a loaner while my Q60 RS was in for some work & it was complete GARBAGE. The Q50 is over a DECADE old w/ no major refinements or improvements besides the VR30 in 2016. The Q60 was discontinued in 2022 & Infiniti left the Q platform half baked & NEVER improved anything! If they would have updated the tech & interior, better transmission (9 Speed vs 7 Speed) & a minor re-design they would have had a chance to be actually competitive. I love my Q60 RS but will NEVER purchase an Infiniti product ever again.
Meanwhile Greta is taking private jet flights...

I don't have problem with rich people being rich, I have a problem with some of then being hypocrite, especially politicians.
I work for Infinity does VC turbo engines aren't necessarily the best
The trumpet V6 is gone , hoodlums will be sad😊
Unfortunately any turbo motor no matter who makes it is not a reliable or dependable as the naturally aspirated engine. Check out the car care nut on youtube about turbo motors-you need more maintance and they donot last as long period.
From a Nissan/Infiniti Lifer; 😐😑🙄,✌🏽❤✊🏽
WTF they thinking ?
Nssan is saying VCT is what we be
SO beyond sick and tired of these turbo charged 4 cylinder engines. NOBODY WANTS THIS!!!! Such a massive shame this is happening with every brand. The fuel economy difference isn’t much better either. All you’re getting is a significantly less reliable engine. I wouldn’t even consider this for that reason alone.
CVT or 9 speed ???
9 Speed
Not surprise! Next thing you know Acura will be next! And is BMW/MERCEDES does it it’s over!
Think I’ll keep my 380 hp 4.6 V8 Lexus LS460 L.
Volvo was the first to use a 4cyl turbo as the only engine option plus they also offered one of the most powerful PHEVs in the segment Volvo had years to perfect their engines. Other SUV like the GLE, Q7, RX, and TX implements 4cyls only the GLE and Q7 offer a 6cyl or higher. For Toyota/Lexus the hybridized 4cyl is greater power output, I still do not believe in the emissions bullshit or better fuel efficiency. Many companies are following each other every SUV has not swapped to 4cyl turbos it does not make any sense for 4,400 SUVs to have two cylinders less and then claim "You can tow 5,000LBS" bullshit. The new QX60 was one of the best premium SUVs from Japan no they are turning into Toyota/Lexus, all these new SUVs are heavier so why take any engine that can manage the job. That is why I like Mazda they offer a phenomenal package compared to other rivals that claim to be premium. It seems like Honda/Acura and Mazda are the only one willing to give the consumer what they want over complicating it. The 4cyl tend is not it these companies are going to suffer long term when they realize that a 4cyl turbo become problematic in the next 4-5 years.
Jus give the v6 a hybrid option
60 grand for 4 cylinders lmao
Honda was able to develop a new NA V6 for the Pilot that meets emissions so it can be done. Shame on Toyota and Nissan. They will lose out in market share.
turbo 4 cylinders are perfect for manufacturers because they have a more predictable failure rate it’s not in the interest of a car company to make a vehicle that will last 15+ years for the average consumer maintenance of a turbo engine is impossible for proof you can look at Honda 1.5turbo engine
All these years cvt only to get rid of it reintroduce v6 without cvt and now get rid of it
I own a 23 QX60. I wouldn't touch the 25. Did Nissan/Infiniti take notice of Toyotas disaster. Apparently not. Beyond dumb.
120°f days in Las Vegas followed by weeks of 110°+ weather is getting worse every year. Once unheard of Stage 5 Hurricanes are becoming commonplace.
These are difficult times made even more difficult for daddies like Kirk who fear what his beautiful little kids will face in only 20 to 30 years.
Treacherous, "forever decisions" cannot be tainted by selfish desires. Or Mad Max may be foretelling our destiny.
Definitely doesn’t care…
BAD NEWS!!! I’m so disappointed with Infiniti.
2.0L 4cy turbo variable compression, yeah ....no thanks
Eh… I miss toyota 2gr v6 more from their cars
😭😭😭
Another unessesary downsided engine
Kirk, you are late to the party.
If you only knew...
This is garbage. Engine will last 5 to 7 years before you need to replace
Say hello to your new EV overlords....and the turbo'd 4 cylinders that is replacing all of these... haha
If you voted for Biden you are to thank.
