The Infiniti Q60 coupe is a rival for the Audi A5 and BMW 4 Series that majors on style. Two petrol engines are available, and the car seats four. Interior space isn't great, meaning rivals are more appealing if you're seeking something with more practicality, and while performance is strong, it's not that engaging to drive. Nevertheless, if you're seeking something a little be different, the Q60 could be worth a look.

I must admit as BMW lover, this Infiniti looks outstanding.
n8neiTen8n It’s a great car. Have had my Q60S for 3 months.
I must admit that someone who has never liked the look of BMW'S I do think the 4 Series Coupé is a good looking car, but this Infinity is better looking still.
...the most important thing was missed in the review, THIS CAR IS GORGEOUS!!!!
I dunno man. this review seems so biased. like the guy is only finding reasons to dislike the infiniti.
Yeah, that is the reason why I never read British magazines. It is a shame how much prejudice they have and how biased they are.
BMW, Volkswagen/Škoda/Audi/Seat are the holy grail of British automotive journalism.
They just can not stand any Japanese manufacturer. They gave Lexus models 2 of 5 stars, just ridiculous.
Regards
I think he's on point about the suspension and the steering. In 2003, I bought an Infiniti G35 in Canada long before its introduction to the British market. I drove that thing until it got destroyed in an accident. Following to that, I've owned a Mercedes C350 and a BMW 335i. I was looking to replace my 335i when I test drove the Q50, the saloon variant of the Q60. It was a total letdown compared to my C350 and 335i.
mojojojo911 I think the review got the suspension part right. Infiniti suspensions are too firm.
I hope they fire him
Fuck this guy ..
Infiniti, or Nissan i should say; know her shit :D
I just got one of these recently. The bias is absolutely shocking here. First of all, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have come up to me and said about how good it looks. Also, the amount of equipment you get particularly in premium tech trim which I have, is superb. The Bose performance series sound system is fantastic and back seat space is nowhere near as tight as this guy made it out to be. Only criticism I have at the moment is the rather awkward seatbelt but other than that, it’s great, I love it!
What about the steering issues he mentions? Did you notice that?
@@cosmotect can’t say that I have. I’ve stuck in sport and it’s pretty nice. Also, you get ALC with it so on long motorway drives, it’s really relaxing. Did a 440km journey from cork back home and it was effortless.
@@andrewwilson3544 cool, thanks for sharing :) I might go for one of these soon
I feel like he should be reviewing vintage wrist watches.
brits
I've just ordered one its stunning.👍🏻 This guy just wants you to buy a German car with crap after sales and no class.
Stop that, this car looks like a mazda.
@@nicemax9310 no
@@maxfps it does
Its biased reviews like these that have killed off infiniti in Europe. All other reviewers around the world rate these cars really highly. Their q50 hybrid AWD was probably the perfect car for the current world. Ahead of their time. Pity.
How could you live with yourself knowing about that 4 inch piece of inferior plastic near your calf? Tut tut
DETAILS.
4 series also has a rattly cheap part there. I have a 3 series and that thing rattles like no tomorrow.
He seemed so upset about the lack of headroom at the back.. (2.35)
Zishan Zaheer lol
If a car has that little headroom at the rear, that means it's a 2 seater. And if it's a 2 seater, it has no right to be this huge. A 2 seater is as big as the MX5.
I agree with you regarding size however the insurance break you have for having a backseat is very welcome. lol
For having a "back seat". Yeah. It's sadly a joke. You get tax cuts based on boxes the manufacturer ticked. It has nothing to do with facts. This is an oversized 2 seater.
He seems to have come with a low opinion of the brand and then found everything to justify that. When you review a car and all you can find is negatives were others have found positives then it's not the car rather its you.
David Higan ikr he was bashing the car the whole time and barely said anything nice he takes the d,a,s he hates the two screens, he hates the ride quality, he has no head room but it look like his seat was straight up this is an unprofessional review
I'd have mercedes suspension, bmw engines, audi interior and this car's body. perfect.
Motoring Evolution that would be amazing
And Porsche's transmission
why would you want such an unreliable engine? considering the engine in this car is based on the GTR VR
What? You want a BMW Engine and Suspension/Chassis. Mercedes Interior, & Infiniti bodystyle.
mercedes has the best interior
Should somebody tell him the 2.0T is a Merc engine....?
Without seeing his face in the first few moments of this video, I’m already put off by his voice 😆😆😆
Such a biased review. I tested it and absolutely fell in love with it.
That doesn't mean that you made the best choice tho. It might be the best choice for you because it makes you feel good but someone that have had more experience might be asking for more than what q60 has to offer.
Infinity are better looking than BMW and Mercedes
No one buy a coupe for back seats. I have a 4 doors sedan for work and a G35/G37 coupe for fun or weekend driving. I can't wait until I get my Q60 Red Sport 400.
This dude seems to be only focused on the negatives wow lol. It's a sexy car especially the 400 hp. Cheapest ponies per dollar vs the germans
Way way way more dependable compared to Mercedes or BMW!!
This car has some good looks
I'm 6'4 and nearly fit in this car, how is he having an issue with headroom? Granted I was in the Redsport so they may have seats more accommodating to taller folk.
Maybe its his stunning haircut.
😂im not use to this “COOOPAY”
WTH is a CoooooopAY. 😂😂😂. I guess he means a coupe (Coop).
The word "coupé" is frencg for cut and it's a reference to the fact that the roofline is cut (slopes) compared to a saloon
You're welcome
Hello comment wonderer. Live long and prosper. \o/
This guy is an utter pillock! I've owned my Q60 for three years and would buy a new one in a heartbeat. I still get a pang of "wow!" when I look at its gleaming sunstone red paintwork sculpted into that beautiful liquid shape. It's great to drive - still turns heads and I think I must be the only one driving one in the UK. What a pity that Infiniti have pulled out of Europe. The Euro-Box equivalents are OK...but the Q60 is a cut above in looks, luxury and driving dynamics.....and yes, I have the steering pack and it's absolutely fine!!
compared to my m235i, this car is quiet and comfortable. almost as quick. I like this car
This review ain't shit. I got my q60 and it's nothing like what u describe here. Don't know y your so but hurt. It's a really nice car. Performance and physical appearance
Car does look good tho!
Love the quality of the "orange peel" paintwork at the 6 second mark..
"Your eyes have to readjust for different resolutions" 8:23. LMAO
Has the A5 changed? I used to have one and if anyone was in the back there was zero legroom and they had spread over both seats!
His seating positions looks so uncomfortable.
If you look at cars he reviewed he sits like that in every single one.
Great review, but what happened to the video focus at the end, v blurry or was that to emphasise the refocus requirement on the the 2 screens!!??
Are you paid by BMW and MB?
I don't rly like this guy....NEXT!
It's beautiful despite all its problems
As an owner of A5 and BMW M4... the look certainly grabbed my attention. Took it for test drive for two days, return with much, much disappointment. I was hoping they make a return to all their rivals but they're far from touching any major manufacturers. Infotainment lacks the flow, drive by wire system is extremely unpredictable at the corner when it's close to limit, driving up to 100 mph is actually scary!
Nissan, it's time for them to get their sh** together!
Lol im 21 and about to be 22 and have had 5 cars myself and drivne cars vans trucks suvs, and had the q60 for 2.5 years, and it does indeed feeo very natural very sporty, i pushed it to its limits on corners, on ramps, drifts, fast lane changes and its all very precise for someone who knows how to drive and someone who wants to relax its great at that too
Looks gorgeous! No doubt will be reliable
This guy is completely biased toward Japanese luxury brand, in England people have this prejudice if a vehicle is not from Germany so it would not be as good or better than German. This infiniti Q60 is just stunning, it will stand out in the crowd. its way beautiful than any German luxury e.g Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. plz stop ur prejudice, biased comments.
Dude if you just like German cars then just say it stop hating on INFINITI!!!!!!
I really want to like this car - it is an absolute homerun in terms of styling. Maybe it will be a decent drive without the drive-by-wire steering option.
I love this car and actually have a G 37 . But I can't believe they have cheap Nissan parts inside and that key fob .
Then test the car without the “steering pack” and with “adaptive dampers” and give a review..dam ..so disappointing
Liked it for the looks.
Dont know about the new infinitis but im definitely importing the infiniti m45/nissan gloria/cedric as a calssic for my garage
Awesome car, very very very annoying and unprofessional reviewer!!
The only reason to purchase this car is exactly like he said, making a statement
if so, all those flaws he mentioned can be overlooked i guess
stunning look plus Japanese reliabilty............... that'll do
Although the idea is to try and keep some 4 seater/reasonable boot practicality with 2 door GT coupes (based off 4 doors), when you buy them you don't actually care. I'm considering it in the future and I won't want anyone in the back and the boot is plenty big enough for going away. If you want what was negative in the video buy the 4 door version!! Thing looks great, odd angles at the rear but much better looking than the standard stuff on sale.
looks like a pretty cool car and probably quite reliable. In terms of everyday usability it probably needs a lot of work, probably why infiniti doesn't really sell.
The only thing I agree with him on is the steering. The older models of the q50/q60 had better steering. You could feel it. The newer ones do have a loss of connection to the tires and road
Thanks for this review!
it's a bit odd that there was almost no positive comments made but the closing statement is "the Q60 is worth a look". better to stick to your guns and say "I can't recommend this car".
Anyone else weirded out by the way he pronounces Coupe? He says it like toupe.....Me and my toupe look great in my coupe.....that's all i got.
Because coupé is french for cut so inevitably he would say it that way, same with the word cliché
Stuning!
Wish this car was manual, I’m in love with this beauty
It Looks sooo goood thought
And why does he hate so much the Lexus rc
Looks nice, but exclusivity means that parts will be harder to come by years down the road.
Infiniti should give up on the UK market. Should stick to markets with less expensive fuel costs.
Nice boot hinges, don't see them so much anymore.
Lean your head back in the back seat? It doesn’t seem too bad for even you, but anyone taller than 6’0 would definitely have issues
Steering isn't even that bad. I've played around with it in the sedan counterpart and it's actually quite cool. Sensitivity can be changed quite a bit and steering weight as well. I'm not sure why this reviewer thinks there isn't any adjustment for steering sensitivity.
GadgetGibby he is biased as fuck
Very much so, smh
What 2 liter will do 0-60 in 6 seconds in that price range?
Pablo López Simón bmw 428i 2.0 petrol 0-60 in 5.8 secs!
VW Golf R 2.0 litre petrol. 4.9 seconds.
These cars were made with the V6 engine in mind. The 2.0T engine is actually a Mercedes engine for the EU and China market, and now in the US starting 2016.
The 428i and 328i (now 330i and 430i) have great engines that with a little ECU remap can make over 300bhp!
i still don't understand why some Japan's premium car use dual screen set up. Why not combine them together into a massive portrait tablet like one on Volvo, Prius, Tesla, and Renault? Anyway the car looks so good but it will never beat the 4 series
Has he actually got anything good to say about it? I find his reviews are always negative.
=Altima coupe 2018?
This in not an Audi A5 competitor
but that design tho my gawd
I find the saloon way more attractive, just like the A4. The A5 looks weird.
for the mid 60K+ range the RCF is a way better option.
Nice body, tight in the rear, and dull personality, but that's enough about my sister.. not a bad looking car the Infiniti.
🤣🤣
4 series is best buy in it's class, there's no doubt about it, but to me most important thing in that group is beauty.
q60 looks great, but not as C class coupe.
What an objective review. Well done!!
really?? looked like he went out of his way to point out everything that was wrong with the car without highlighting any of its positives. He didn't even bother to provide any example of how the instruments are overly complicated or demonstrate any of it. He also didn't drive the more powerful version of the car. I think this is a bad bad review and can be done a lot better.
KoS There are very few positives I'm afraid. Other than styling and equipment levels which are great, it's a long way behind anything European. It's even way behind the Lexus RC
James Batchelor well we wouldn't know that from this review, he only said as much but again didn't specify what this car does come with other than the optional drive by wire electronic steering and leather upholstery, and electric seats. this car looks like it packs some cool tech features.. think i will go to carwow to look at a proper review
Oh, this will be great. He just said "Infiniti, you know...Nissan," I'm sure this will be a very objective review.
why only on petrol ? I don't wanna use all my fucking money on fuel , who needs so much power anyway , this car wasn't even designed for performance on the track .
I test drove this today. It is a lovely car, but the steering is shocking. After a little thought, I realised it reminded me of those steering wheels you attach to your playstation or xbox. The feedback is like digitised and fake. It doesn't inspire any confidence whatsoever.
The center console reminds me of a ford mondeo or edge,
but why are there two screens???
This feels like a classic dismissive British review. Finding petty things to criticize that can be applied to every car in the class. How is one hard plastic so vastly superior to another hard plastic.🤔
He did not even mention the leather dash, the swivel wheel and any other thing I wanted to see....
This guy's criticism is great
where is ur red pants my friend?
Peter Sothern having a rest. They'll be back soon Peter
great review as always. car looks great but would probably choose the audi a5
I hate that little dimple at the top of the front grille!! I hope ppl love waiting in the rain, while waiting for those seats to move up!! lol
All new outside, with 5 year old interior!! No headups display and no ventilated seats!!
drive the car for yourself before you judge. reviews are helpful but not the final verdict. plus this guy is driving the worst engine available in this car... smh
KTAC1 what was the whole point of this video if he was bashing the car the whole time
I'm having huge issues with brands such as Infinity, Lexus etc. that are attempts to establish a premium product from a company that operates in a different market segment. The reason why are the little details, such as the switch gears and keys that are 1:1 the same as Nissan's. To me, this is a constant reminder that you are driving a "pimped out" Nissan, no history or brand culture, just some idea to cash in on a different market.
They should really try to separate the premium brands from their origin and let design the cars from scratch. No accountants suggesting to reuse some tools from Nissan's range to save costs etc.
You remind me of Katie Hopkins!
Who buy this car as a family 4 adults car?
Most beautiful and quality car!
Wonder what perfect car this guy drives?
This Chaps reviews are just getting better.
What?
...
grill is too big and the rear end is way too long. knowing nissan and renault are closely related they could have looked at laguna coupe perfect proportions, or at least at the previous gen infiniti coupes
seems like he purposefully specd the worst possible version of the car
Europe is the natural home of the luxury car. I mean: Just name a single famous luxury car brand, which is not european. There is Cadillac maybe, but thats about it. So especially as a european, you have to be a bit bonkers to say "no I dont want a Mercedes, I dont want a BMW, I dont want an Audi, I dont want a Volvo, I dont want a Jaguar, I dont want an Alfa Romeo, let me have a japanese car instead, which was devoloped mainly for the american market."
Well, for someone who has salary in GBP, 40,00GBP for a car like this is a god damn joke. Many normal people should be able to afford it with their annual salary, so that's actually brilliant - no in comparison to the competition, but in general.
yeah but the germans aint gonna last past 70k miles
Oooh dear Nissan...the smaller infinti has caught my eye before...good looking on the outside...unfortunately poor execution everywhere else. Alternate to a German? Try the Swede :-D
New Nissan 370Z will be based on Q60
Matej Marecek that's a great way to ruin Infiniti sales like they did with the armada
Infiniti is Razer of the cars
Happy Valentines!
Oh wait, u dont have a girlfriend right?
Saddy Valentines!
Well I feel sorry for your partner....
Really interesting to hear the contrast of this review compared to the American reviewers. This review I feel is far more accurate. When I test drove this I could not believe this car came from the same company that produced the G37. This car is lifeless in feel and not driving connection exists. It's terrible. The fact that they do not even offer an LSD on the V6TT rwd car is mind blowing. One wheel peels for days that you can't feel through the steering. Just overly complicated for no reason and this is suppose to be their sporty offering hahahah
Blake Swan are you talking out your ass you probably drove the 2.0 and not the red sport
Infiniti drives just as nice as Acura and better the Cadillac.
a5 has no back sit room at all
Center stack is 10 years behind on design
Horrific
The guy testing the car is just ridicolous, absolutely subjective opinion. I do not own the car , but his attitude make me never watch video with him defo.
