INFINITI QX60 is about safety at the core of technology

Muscat: The award-winning INFINITI QX60 luxury crossover, consistently among INFINITI's top two selling models, continues to be the most versatile three-row, seven-passenger vehicle. It offers a combination of family features with a welcoming, crafted design inside and out. Above all emphasizing INFINITI’s originality and accent for safety of drivers, INFINITI QX60 offers the unique Back-up Collision Intervention System (BCI).

The INFINITI QX60 features enhanced interior and exterior design with a suite of assistive and intuitive technologies to give discerning customers a vehicle that redefines versatility. With its comfortable seating, powerful 3.5-litre V6 engine, and technology and safety features to enhance the driver experience, INFINITI QX60 has turned out to be a winner all the way.

A senior spokesperson at INFINITI Oman said, “The INFINITI QX60 is a stylish, performance driven vehicle that offers world class technology, comfort, space and an array of features which underline its position as a luxury SUV. The crossover addresses the needs of today’s modern families and features additional enhancements that are aimed at empowering the driver with a more premium experience.”

Premium exterior design
Featuring superior interior and exterior design with a collection of assistive and in-built technologies, the INFINITI QX60 which is a fantastic three-row luxury crossover stays ahead of the curve by bringing a unique offering to the segment.

While it impresses auto enthusiasts with its array of features, INFINITI QX60’s intelligent technology, advanced performance, and leading-edge craftsmanship has brought it new fans too.

INFINITI QX60’s innovative design gives it both luxurious versatility and visual appeal, besides its improved interior design with a suite of assistive and intuitive technologies provide adaptability precisely tailored to the needs of every guest. Furthermore, the state-of-the-art INFINITI QX60 is completely redesigned from the exterior and also boasts a host of new features and technologies that enhance comfort, convenience and safety.

The redesigned double-arch grille at the front is flanked by standard-fit bi-xenon headlamps. There is greater use of LED lighting, including new LED Daytime Running Lights as well as front fog lamps which feature LED lighting and chrome finishers. It also features the signature brand design cues such as double-wave bonnet, and crescent-cut D-pillar. On the interior, INFINITI QX60 offers the signature driver-oriented cockpit, highlighted by thin chrome accents as well as an upper instrument panel has been wrapped in soft-touch material with contrast stitching.

A responsive V6 engine
The INFINITI QX60's standard 3.5-liter V6 engine is rated at 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. The engine's Direct Injection Gasoline system provides better wide-open throttle performance and emissions performance (versus a non-direct-injection system).

The engine is matched with an efficient, sport-tuned, electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with D-Step Logic that provides high responsiveness and seamless, efficient shifting feel. The transmission can mimic a step transmission, and it features a wide gear ratio and low friction design.

The QX60 also features an independent-strut front and multi-link rear suspension designed to provide smooth ride control with a reduction in body movement when cornering. To enhance stability through the controls when cornering, the Active Trace Control system links with the QX60's standard Vehicle Dynamic Control system. This automatically applies the brakes in a specific pattern and then smooth engine torque characteristics while accelerating.

Back-up Collision Intervention System
Further proving INFINITI’s innovation and concern for the safety of drivers, the incredible SUV offers Back-up Collision Intervention System (BCI).

With safety at the core of technology, the BCI system is designed to help prevent accidents while reversing up the vehicle. In order to do so, it involves a range of sensors in crucial locations. These sensors are able to detect both moving objects, such as crossing traffic or incoming vehicles, and larger stationary objects that a driver may not be aware of. This allows the system to provide extra protection in case the driver happens to miss a moving or stationary object while backing up.

If for some reason a driver doesn’t notice the first warning indicators of an approaching vehicle or don’t react in time, Backup Collision Intervention will take appropriate steps to avoid collision and keep them safe. This comes in the form of a red indicator on the display unit of the vehicle accompanied by three beeps. At the same time, the system will automatically push backward on the accelerator and engage the brakes so the driver doesn’t hit the moving or stationary object.

Audio and visual warnings
The INFINITI QX60 doesn’t just keep you safe with the Backup Collision Intervention system; this is just one of many innovative features offered by INFINITI to prevent accidents and serious injuries if the worst does occur. Around View Monitor and Moving Object Detection systems give the driver a 360-degree view of the area around the crossover’s display. Moving Object Detection gives drivers both audio and visual warnings and cues to help them park their vehicles, even when parallel parking.

Other great features that will keep the driver safe are Blind Spot Intervention and Lane Departure Prevention, which work with the existing Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning systems. These intervention and prevention systems take the warnings found in many vehicles a step further by automatically helping the drivers to stay in their lane when a potential collision is detected. Other innovative safety features worth mentioning include Brake Assist with Preview, Intelligent Brake Assist, and the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System.

Innovative safety features
The goal of INFINITI is to keep drivers safe, and that clearly comes through in its innovative safety features. When driving the INFINITI QX60, simply remember that a driver should still follow the standard safety methods while driving, but they will always have peace of mind with Backup Collision Intervention and other advanced safety features.

INFINITI QX60 has always delivered in spades on the technology front. Added to the INFINITI QX60 is Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian Detection. When combined with the already existing features like Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Backup Collision Intervention and Around View Monitor, it makes for one of the safest 7 seat crossovers in its segment from a technology perspective.

INFINITI QX60’s suspension components and settings combine to deliver superior levels of both comfort and agility, while a revised steering system delivers greater feedback for a more rewarding drive. Featuring Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the QX60 is offered with a powerful and efficient 3.5-litre V6 gasoline engine.

Lavishly enriched, the versatile INFINITI QX60 emphasizes comfort and utility. Exceeding segment expectations by providing flexible and accessible seating for up to seven, the premium crossover delivers superior standards of comfort and luxury.

Presenting high-class design, driving dynamics and best-in-class levels of interior luxury and convenience, the exterior of the QX60 reflects INFINITI’s design-led approach to product development, and a desire to craft vehicle forms which combine power and confident artistry through taut, muscular shapes and flowing lines.

Striking with its powerful elegance and craftsmanship, the QX60 has become an important part of INFINITI’s growth strategy.
