Infiniti Q60 Problems by Year

The Infiniti Q60 is a stunningly beautiful luxury coupe that replaced the G37, offering head-turning design and a grand touring driving experience. Competing against the Audi A5 and BMW 4 Series, it prioritized long-distance refinement and comfort over sharp, track-focused handling. In the UK, it was available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder or a potent 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 (Red Sport), the latter offering serious straight-line speed. Due to the brand's withdrawal from the UK market, these cars suffer from steep depreciation, making them incredible used bargains. It suits buyers who prioritize striking aesthetics, smooth power, and exclusivity over razor-sharp handling.

Buying Tips for the Infiniti Q60

  • Check the dual-screen infotainment system for responsiveness; it feels dated compared to rivals and can be sluggish.
  • On the 3.0t V6 (Red Sport), listen for any turbo whine or rattle on startup, and ensure a strict oil change history.
  • Test the Direct Adaptive Steering (if fitted) to ensure it responds accurately without warning lights on the dash.
  • Inspect the frameless door windows to ensure they drop slightly when the handle is pulled and seal tightly when closed to prevent wind noise.
  • Verify the condition of the brake pads and discs, especially on the heavier, more powerful V6 models.
  • Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, which can indicate alignment issues on the complex multi-link suspension.
