Buying Tips for 2017 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.
