Infiniti Overview
Infiniti is Nissan's performance and luxury division. If Lexus was attempting to be Japan's answer to Mercedes-Benz, then Infiniti was the pan-Pacific riposte to BMW. Sport sedans like the G35 and later G37 were credible rivals to the 3-Series. Infiniti crossovers were sporty too, particularly the groundbreaking FX35 and FX45. More recently, the brand has moved to calling all its cars by the designation Q, and crossovers by QX.
Arriving in North America at the same time as Lexus, and a few years after Acura, Infiniti did not at first have the lasting success that its rivals did. The first cars, the Q45 and M30, were basically slightly tweaked versions of Nissans that were only available in the Japanese home market. It should have been good enough — the Emperor of Japan was chauffeured in a Nissan President at the time — but through the 1990s, Infiniti didn't really gain lasting traction.
The QX4, a more luxurious version of the popular Pathfinder, was one bright spot during the SUV craze. However, where Infiniti really came into its own was with the G35 of 2003. Again, this car was based on a JDM Nissan, but the Nissan in question was a Skyline. In previous generations, the GT-R version of the Skyline was Nissan's flagship performer, a world-beating coupe. In its eleventh generation, the Skyline split from the GT-R badge, but retained some of that sportiness. With V6 power and a rear-wheel-drive layout, it soon became the backbone of the Infiniti brand. There was also the G35 and G37 2+2 coupes, basically well-heeled versions of the Nissan Z. Customers enthusiastically snapped them up.
In fact, the G was so beloved that Infiniti had a bit of a issue when it was decided in 2015 to change the name of the car to Q40 for sedans and Q50 for coupes. For a brief time, Infiniti sold the older G37 sedan alongside the Q40 sedan. This muddied the waters, but Infiniti soon emerged with a relatively coherent lineup.
Currently, the Q50 is Infiniti's sport sedan, and the Q60 its related coupe. These both get twin-turbo V6 power as standard, with Red Sport models getting as much as 400 hp. Despite the power advantage, the Q50 and Q60 are a bit more muscle car than sport sedan. However, both are very quick.
Infiniti's QX models have a less fleet of foot focus. The QX50 is stylish and packed with features, but pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a CVT. The QX60 is bigger and softer, with the underpinnings of the Nissan Pathfinder, and has a nine-speed automatic tuned for smooth shifting.
At the top end of the range is the brutish QX80, a proper SUV based on the Nissan Armada. Unapologetically thirsty, the QX80 is made for those who need V8 power for towing. It's an aging platform, but still delivers.
Infiniti doesn't currently have any electrified cars in its production fleet, but the QX Inspiration concept car shows what one might look like. The concept's rear coach doors are unlikely to reach production, but adapting Nissan's battery-EV Ariya platform for a sportier and more luxurious ride would make a lot of sense.

To state the obvious, crossovers dominate the Canadian market! Infiniti has four choices — the range starts with the QX50, runs through the QX55 and on to the top QX80. The fourth choice is the six- or seven-seat QX60. It has classy styling, a richly-appointed interior and strong curb appeal. For 2025, it gets more standard features, a new model and an engine transplant.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Competitors
The QX60 faces stiff competition and it does so from the usual suspects — the Acura MDX and Lexus TX. However, cast the net a little wider and you’ll find the likes of the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Cadillac XT6 and Volvo XC90.
What’s new with the Infiniti QX60 for 2025?
First, the QX60 gets a new model — the Black Edition arrives with gloss-black 20-inch wheels, roof rails, grille surround and exterior badging along with an illuminated Infiniti emblem in the grille, illuminated kickplates and welcome lighting. Inside, a black headliner caps off the theme. All models earn more standard equipment, including a new key fob that unlocks the QX60 automatically when walking towards it and locks it when walking away. Finally, the QX60 ditches its long-time V6 and goes with a more fuel-efficiency turbo-four. It has more torque and improves the towing capability in the base models.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Performance
In place of the 3.5-litre V6, the QX60 gets the 2.0L VC-Turbo found in the QX50 and QX55. Where this engine differs from others is its ability to vary the compression ratio anywhere between 8:1 and 14:1. While it sounds complicated the operating principle is simple. When running the low compression ratio, the turbocharger blows a gale to deliver V6-like performance. At the opposite end, the high compression ratio delivers better fuel efficiency.
The 2.0L turbo-four twists out 268 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque. While it loses 27 hp compared to the outgoing V6, it gains 16 lb-ft torque. The plus being it’s available over a broader range. The new engine works with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters to drive all four wheels. The all-wheel-drive setup is front-biased sending up to 50 percent of the power rearward when needed. Unlike many the design is proactive, using sensors to detect a potential loss of grip, and it’s quick to react to a sudden loss of grip. The combination delivers better stability in all driving conditions.
As for driveability, the QX60 is a comfortable long-distance cruiser with good steering feel and reassuring brakes. However, when pushed it rolls through fast corners, which tends to dissuade the driver from getting too enthusiastic. The driver can pick between Personal, Sport, Auto, Eco and Snow modes. Frankly, Auto is all that’s really needed until the white stuff flies.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Efficiency
Where the outgoing V6 was rated at 11.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 9.3 on the highway and it had an average consumption of 10.7 L/100 km, the VC-Turbo is rated at 10.9 L/100 km city, 8.8 L/100 km highway and it averages 10.0 L/100 km. This equates to an annual fuel bill of $3,700. Premium fuel is recommended.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Safety
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2024 QX60 its coveted Top Safety Pick designation. Likewise, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) gave the 2024 QX60 its top Five Star rating. It should retain both in 2025.
Every QX60 features forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, predictive forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear auto braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and high beam assist. Available features include an around-view camera with moving object detection, distracted driver warning and traffic sign recognition. ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link gives the QX60 a semi-autonomous capability. It tracks the vehicle ahead and maintains a pre-set distance behind, and it can stop when needed. It also dips into the navigation information to reduce speed when the speed limit drops or a significant corner is looming.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Reliability
Consumer Reports gives the 2024 Infiniti QX60 an average score of 42 out of 100. This lags the key competition. CR’s prediction is based “on limited data from the QX60 and the Infiniti brand scores.”
2025 Infiniti QX60 Interior
The QX60’s cabin features rich materials and it’s offered as a seven-seater in all models except the top Autograph — it trades in the middle row bench for a pair of Captain’s buckets. One of the big plusses is the QX60 features Infiniti’s Zero Gravity front seats. On a long drive they promote the correct posture, which reduces the fatigue factor for the front riders. Next is the 12.3-inch touchscreen that anchors the InTouch infotainment system. It works with Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay and an audio system with nine speakers. The Black Edition and above earn a solid 17-speaker Bose sound system — it delivers a richer sound experience regardless of where the rider is sitting. The climate controls, with real knobs, sit below.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Dimensions
The QX60 is an imposing vehicle with an overall length of 5,033-mm, it’s 1,981-mm wide, 1,770-mm tall and rides on a substantial 2,900-mm wheelbase. This gives it the interior space needed to accommodate up to seven riders. There’s 906-mm of legroom in the middle row and 712-mm in the third, which is plenty for kids and enough (just!) for an adult on a short across-town jaunt. The QX60 also boasts 411-litres with all seats upright, 1,178L with the third row folded and 2,135L with second and third rows folded.
2025 Infiniti QX60 Canadian Pricing
The 2025 Infiniti QX60 is offered in five all-wheel-drive models. The price range starts with the Pure and an MSRP of $60,345, the Luxe comes in at $64,345, the new Black Edition at $66,645 and the Sensory at $70,445. Finally, the range-topping Autograph commands $72,845. Freight and PDI is $2,495 in all cases.

This marks a new year for the hulking QX80, freshly styled and with a thoroughly modern powertrain which with to take on other enormous luxury SUVs in this rarified air where a six-figure price tag is just the opening ante. This is an SUV through and through, with a body-on-frame construction and towering levels of torque under its hood.
What’s new with the Infiniti QX80 for 2025?
This year’s overhaul includes a new engine, imposing styling choices, and an interior able to take on the dominant forces in this class. Luxury abounds, not just for front row passengers but also for the peanut gallery – massaging seats in four different places, anyone? An electronic air suspension is standard on every trim, paired with dynamic digital suspension dampers to smooth out the ride and provide the type of sanctuary-on-wheels environment sought by shopper in this segment.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Competitors
This is a machine set up to compete with the traditional big guns such as the mighty Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. Some will argue for an evaluation against the Mercedes-Benz GLE and enormous Lexus LX.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Performance
For this model year, Infiniti has ditched the 5.6L V8 in favour of something much more modern. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 engine, good for 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, all funnelled to the earth through a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. Those figures are 50 and 103 more than the V8, respectively, so what this mill may lack in exhaust note it more than makes up for in outright grunt.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Efficiency
This is a big brute, and all the modern powertrain tech in the world can’t totally overcome the simple laws of physics. In the city, expect something in the neighbourhood of 15.1 L/100km fuel efficiency. Highway economy improves to 12.2 but this is still a big brick to push through the air. Combined, it is reasonable to look for 13.8 L/100km efficiency.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Safety
ProPilot Assist, which provides a measure of driving help on the open road, is standard but has a few more features such as hands-off freeway cruising on the top rung Autograph trim. Expected gear like rear automatic braking with pedestrian/cyclist detection and rear cross-traffic alert are present and accounted for, as are blind spot interventions and lane keeping. A dandy camera system is described below.

Consumer Reports has yet to cast its critical eye on the new QX80, such is the newness of this model. They praised many of the same items as this publication, including its reasonably responsive handling and ability to mask its heft. Predicted owner satisfaction is estimated to be high in the coming years, suggests CR, given the sheer number of unique and enjoyable luxury features in this large SUV.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Interior
Lavish accommodations await passengers of all three rows, with Infiniti insisting they’re trying to set up an atmosphere of a private jet in which there is no different classes of seating. Indeed, both the front and middle row seats are thrones, equipped with heating, ventilation, and massaging functions. Space is ample, even in the third row.
Twin 14.3-inch screens live behind a single display area on the dash, with a third screen measuring 9 inches and packing a haptic touch feature to control the likes of ventilation and drive modes. Certain camera angles stretch across the twin screens and an innovative ‘invisible hood’ view helps with tight parking jobs. Audiophiles will deeply enjoy the available 24-speaker audio system.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Dimensions
For this model year, the 2025 Infiniti QX80 measures an impressive 211.2 inches from tip to tail, standing in company with brutes like the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. Width checks in at 83.3 inches with its mirrors folded or a stunning 92.5 inches with the things extended as they must be for daily driving duties. Total height settles at a maximum of 77.9 inches depending on suspension setting. Ground clearance is an impressive minimum of 9.6 inches but can be jacked to 10 flat in certain drive modes.
2025 Infiniti QX80 Canadian Pricing
Here in the Great White North, the QX80 will only be offered in four-wheel drive, so ignore any reports from other markets which suggest differently. As such, the 2025 QX80 will start at $107,490 for the Luxe trim, moving to $116,490 for the Sensory model.
