The QX60's VC-Turbo engine, explained

Since 2025 the QX60 has used Infiniti's 2.0L Variable Compression Turbo engine instead of the 3.5L V6. A multi-link mechanism changes how far the pistons travel, so the compression ratio can vary between 8:1 for power and 14:1 for efficiency. In the QX60 it is rated 268 hp and 286 lb-ft and drives through a 9-speed automatic.

Infiniti says the switch added 16 lb-ft of peak torque. EPA rates the 2025 VC-Turbo QX60 AWD at 22/27/24 mpg, against 20/25/22 for the 2024 V6 AWD.[2][13][6]

QX60 vs the new 2027 QX65

Infiniti launched the QX65 for 2027 as an all-new two-row midsize SUV with a fastback roofline. It shares the QX60's 268-hp VC-Turbo and 9-speed automatic but has Intelligent AWD as standard. Infiniti says it is built at Nissan's Smyrna, Tennessee, plant.

The QX65 comes in LUXE ($53,990), SPORT ($56,090) and AUTOGRAPH ($62,990) grades before $1,575 destination. EPA rates it 20/26/22 mpg. If you need a third row, the QX60 is the Infiniti to look at; the QX65 seats five.[14][15]

QX60 SPORT grade

The SPORT grade arrived with the 2026 refresh at $61,700, and costs $62,390 for 2027. It adds a unique front fascia and grille mesh, gloss-black 20-inch wheels, a Dusk Blue interior, standard second-row captain's chairs and a black headliner, and is AWD only.[8][1]

Infiniti QX60 problems and recalls

The most serious documented QX60 problem is a brake-fluid leak inside the ABS pump that can short its circuit board and start a fire, covered by recalls 18V601 and 19V807 for 2017–2019 models. The 2013 JX35, which became the QX60 for 2014, and early QX60s were also included in several passenger air bag sensor recalls.
