Infiniti QX60 Hybrid Pairs Style and Economy Introduced on Wednesday, March 27: 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid The hybrid version of Infiniti's seven-passenger luxury crossover, the QX60 (formerly JX). Really, really stylish and really economical. What they said: "The QX60 Hybrid offers best in class fuel economy without compromise of performance, in a full-featured seven-passenger, three-row luxury crossover," said Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti's president. It provides reduced emissions, enhanced fuel economy and extended driving range of more than 500 miles - without a major price premium. What they didn't say: With this hybrid, Infiniti may have turned over a new ace in its poker game with the likes of the Acura MDX and the Lincoln MKT. Call, raise or fold, pardners. Instead of the standard QX60"s 3.5-liter V-6 engine, the hybrid is equipped with a supercharged 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder and an electric motor powered by a compact lithium-ion battery pack (under the third-row seat) good for 250 horsepower. The system uses a continuously variable transmission. It is available in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Fuel economy is estimated at 26 m.p.g. combined, about 24 percent better than the gas-powered QX60. Expect about a $3,000 price bump over the $43,000-ish sticker price of nonhybrid QX60s. If you liked the look of the gas-powered QX60, you'll like the hybrid. In fact, you probably won't be able to tell them apart.
