FIRST DRIVE: Does the 2025 Infiniti QX60 Black Edition Turbo better than a V6 SUV?

FIRST DRIVE: The QX60 is getting some big changes from Infiniti for 2025. On the outside you will see an all new LUXE BLACK EDITION trim. It brings 20in black wheels, grill and exterior trim. On the inside you will be greeted by a full leather interior, 12.3in infotainment screen size and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood instead of the V6 you will discover a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 268HP & is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Does the 2025 Infiniti QX60 Black Edition Turbo make you want to SELL your V6 SUV?

Took a 2023 Nissan Altima Uber home last night. The thin rims give it a rough ride but I have to admit that Cvt was the smoothest I ever felt. The way the driver was seamlessly accelerating without any drops in revs actually have it ev style propulsion. Really impressed with Nissans new engine drive was like I literally don't feel the car struggling at all.

I’m glad it’s still a 9 speed instead of a CVT

With the 3.5L V6 Nissan had one of the best engines on the market, comparable to Toyota’s 3.5 V6. Very reliable - a 20 year old FX with the 3.5 V6 still has no problems. Why on earth would they do this to their cars.

Hope you Lori and the doggo are staying safe Raiti Family 🙏💪

So many manufacturers are moving to turbo 4s.
They tend not to be reliable after 100K miles.
I agree with your chrome zonks! Black Edition should be all black trim.

[doxydoxdelamanca]

So they broke something that didn't need fixing by getting rid of the v6?

[ARIELDELOSANGELES-mk]

Yes its all about the cars, but I've seen a lot of car reviewers but nothing really compares or close on how you provide a very in depth review of the car itself. Keep up the good work and keep Zonking!!!!

Hey Joe, My kid just walked in while watching this video and says " right off the bat I'm 6 ft tall if you're ready I'm ready on throttle!" That engine looks like a battery charge pack. Just ridiculous! Can you imagine this with the twin turbo V6? A nice handling pkg. some brembos. Missed opportunity.

4 cylinder engines are for small crossovers and 4 door family sedans. 6 cylinders are for midsize suvs and sedans with a bit of performance. V8s are for trucks and sport sedans. No substitutions

[famasmaster]

That color is money for sure. Looks very sharp.
Great review and camera work 👌

[SouthernGentleman]

Of all the turbo 4s that I've seen passed through the dealership, this is one of the more reliable ones. Haven't seen it have any problems in the Altima for years that it's been in it. Would've still preferred the 6 cylinder. Maybe update it to the 3.0T out of the Q50, wouldn't have to keep both turbos, just one would been good. But, excellent review Joe

We just got the 2025 qx60 sensory trim and for our needs it's good enough. Love the features that come with in this trim. For the price and what they offer is not bad we got a pretty good lease deal in 3 years we jump to something else.

Good morning Joe I hope that you and your wife are well after the storm!!! Felipe from Mexico, City

[jasonthrash]

Good thing is it tows more. Bad thing is it won't last near as long as the naturally aspirated V6. If they had both as engine options, I would pick the V6 over a turbo charged 4 banger all day long.

[docholiday]

When you first started it up, and revved it, it sounded like an electric lawnmower

[psalms-]

Thank you for reviewing this vehicle!!

[davedek]

Glad to here a more honest review and not the typical fanboy stuff

[WarnerHousehold]

nice review joe but stay safe joe, lori and oscar

[HarrisonCausey]

Gonna have to agree with those sliver accents needing to be fully blacked out…as well as the flat black on the bottom trim!

And while I hate to have to say this triple og Joe, but imma have to give you and Infiniti a zonk for that back window wiper not being tucked up top in the spoiler. And the zonk for you for not mentioning it!! Gotta keep you on ya toes bruh bruh!!

[WoodFurnitureInc]

Joe you kill me, updated key fob after 2600 years !! hahaha !!
