The guys over at AutoGuide.com recently reviewed the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid, and they had mostly nice things to say.
The QX60 Hybrid uses a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine connected to a CVT transmission. This gasoline engine is supplemented by a 15 kW electric motor, two clutches, and a small lithium ion battery pack. The whole set-up produces 250 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque.
The big change (the only change) is the improved fuel economy of the QX60 Hybrid. The Hybrid gets 24% better fuel economy than its gas-powered sibling. The Hybrid will get you 26 miles per gallon combined. Combine the fuel efficiency and the gas tank capacity and you should get about 550 miles of range out of the QX60 Hybrid.
Some of the detracting aspects of the QX60 Hybrid are its less than expected noise insulation, and the fact that it drives like a crossover (which is kinda expected from a vehicle like this.) The other bad thing is that this model will cost you $3,000 more than the gas-powered QX60.
PROS
- Great fuel economy
- Subtle exterior design
- Supercharger whine
- Premium cabin
CONS
- $3,000 more than non-hybrid model
- Supercharger whine
- Slight interior noise
