The Infiniti QX60 has undergone a full redesign for 2022, and like a batter who hasn’t earned a hit in his last 14 plate appearances, it was “due.”
The 2020 QX60 (there was no 2021 model) lacked several modern features, was fitted with an outdated, mundane cabin and cheap-feeling materials with a disappointing continuously variable transmission. The previous gen’s rising character line, escalating beltline and rounded liftgate also gave the QX60 a bit of an “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” swollenness.
