Howdy, y'all! Today we're driving a car that I have wanted to experience for quite some time (ever since we lost our beloved V6 and the plush, old school luxury interior in the RX), and today that day has come! We are going in-depth on the 2024 QX60, this one a top-trim Autograph, and finding out why THIS IS THE ONE I WOULD BUY. And yes, I mean that.
This car was loaned to me courtesy of my local Infiniti dealer, Georgetown INFINITI here in the Austin, Texas metro area; however all of the views and opinions expressed in the video are my own. I was not compensated in ANY way for making this video, and in fact, I cold-called them the same way any customer would and just asked if I could borrow a car for a few days (plus permission to film the vehicle while I had it).

Agree completely - Lexus interiors have lost all sense of luxury in design and materials.

@midiman5045 14 дней назад

Al thought the Lexus might have lost the luxury design which I agree with you on Lexus but Lexus resale value will hold more than the infinity. If I was to buy a Infinity yes they are nice cars but they depreciate like crazy I would get a CPO one.

@joshjamescars 14 дней назад

@midiman they don’t depreciate “like crazy” but they do depreciate more than Lexus. However, a lot of Lexus owners and Infiniti owners buy to keep for ten years at which point the experience they’re going to have over that decade is more important than whatever they’ll get in 10 years anyway and I think that’s the benefit of this QX60.

@midiman5045 14 дней назад

@@joshjamescars Josh why lose all $ a 2 year old CPO will have the depreciation built in. the New Lexus is unknown at this point but Infinity is know for major break downs. Now like you have said in the video these are new and could be a whole different ball game., but based on previous Infinity's they are not reliable. What I really hate about the new Lexus is that 4 cylinder Turbo in the RX and also them removing the classy Lexus logo from the back.

@midiman5045 14 дней назад

@@joshjamescars I might have missed when you described the engines it but the Lexus V6 fks has both port and GDI does the infinity? Also Lexus said they need to met Fed MPG standards that is why they went with the 4 Cylinder Turbo how did Infinity keep it?

@joshjamescars 14 дней назад

@midiman5045 The 2GR FKS does but it’s only used for a periodic cleaning cycle. The VQ to the best of my ability in researching it does not. Also, Lexus and Toyota use that as an excuse for a lot of things they’re doing and it is true that strict emissions regulations will end V6s and V8s, but ultimately Toyota’s moves to smaller engines is because that helps them reach their carbon neutrality goals, it’s not because they are being forced to. Nissan, Honda, Acura, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis also still use NA V6s in their midsize SUVs.

I was a Toyota fan boy until 2015 when I switched to Nissan because of toyota tax and I can honestly say Nissan/infiniti make a better products.

If you are shopping between a used 2021 Lexus GX460 and this, what would you choose??

@joshjamescars 13 дней назад

Haha, yes!!! I’m not here to amass a huge viewer base. I’m here to speak my mind to like minded people. :) Probably the GX460 because it’s old Lexus quality and reliability. This QX60 is great (and better than the GX in some ways), but I just love the GX460. Ask me what I want to be driving in 50 years? It’s the GX460. Though, 2021 was also the last year of the LX570 so take a look at those as well if you’re willing to drive something larger.

@BamaMark 12 дней назад

Ahhh. You are right. We own one. I hated my RX450h. I confess I am a retired Nissan service manager. However. The brand went to a very sad place. 18 months ago. Japan kicked Renault out with a 19% interest. Eventually completely gone. Now Japan is in full control. The mission is to make the best vehicles in the world. And yes. That V6 is a legend. I am so honored you love it. 👍

@joshjamescars 12 дней назад

I had no idea that had happened, so thank you for sending me down a rabbit hole to learn more! But it really explains why Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Infiniti have published these all new “bridge to the future” roadmaps we’ve seen come out of those three in the last 8 months. I’ve always been such a huge fan of the Nissan/Infiniti brand because I grew up in the 90s with Nissan of that age and so I’m so incredibly happy to see the brand having a renaissance. The new QX80 is incredible (as I’m sure the new Armada will be too) if you have a chance to go in and see one. They will be hitting dealers in July.

@joshjamescars 7 дней назад

Yes! The MDX was far more luxurious in its last generation. The interior was more plush, the materials felt better. The new MDX is great but feels a little too much like a Honda inside (same with the RX, feels like any old Toyota now).

@BigdisplacementI6 13 дней назад

Wow - completely agree with you. I've been inside the Lexus TX and it feels so cheap. Dull looking door cards, flat design - super basic. Out of place for a $72 CAD base vehicle! The RX lost all the luxury of wood and leather. Now Infiniti is looking convincing. Never drove one but I'm happy to hear it's not a turbo 4. Uh - Lexus isn't even trying anymore. What's the use of paying $10-15k over the Toyota counterpart. The Lexus interiors look so cheap too. In Canada alone, it's #1 on most stolen vehicle, and most people say it's in port city or major areas (Montreal or Toronto). But living in Edmonton AB - back in Aug 2023 around 5-7 RX were stolen in 24-48 hrs! Lexus RX, SUVs or off-road GX/LX are stolen, shipped to Africa or Middle East so the thiefs can pocket 2-3x what the car is worth here. We are subjected to insurance premiums so I would stay away from Lexus! I want an Infiniti QX50 when it gets redesigned. Infiniti needs hybrids badly because the VQ mpg isn't great now in the age of TVs and PHEVs. I love classic, comfy cruising and Lexus is going German. Stiffer ride than usual, engine noise etc... Love this brand.

@ag4eng 13 дней назад

Agree, Toyota and Lexus product overlap makes no sense because the same engines and materials. Sometimes the Toyota version has better options at lower price. Camry vs ES 86/BRZ vs RC Corolla Cross vs UX Venza vs NX Crown Signia vs RX Grand Highlander vs TX Land Cruiser vs GX Sequoia vs LX That means IS, LS and LC are the only unique Lexus left.

@jaymum23 13 дней назад

Agreed on all points. Especially the VQ getting poor gas mileage by modern standards. Actually, you were too kind- it’s horrendous. Wonderful engine, one of the all-time greats, but it’s Achilles heel is the fuel economy. It sounds great, is smooth for a V6 (not as much so as an inline-6) , is bulletproof reliable, and makes nice power. But the mpg is horrid. My first-gen G35s with the port injection VQ35DE get about 15 mpg city in winter fuel.😱 A silver lining to go along with that V8 gas mileage is V8 torque- this motor MOVES on throttle tip-in around town. The equally reliable, smoother, and more efficient N52 L6s in my BMWs just don’t provide the same shove in the back when you first get on the throttle.

I'm sick of the sea of black everywhere or just the seat tops being a different color. When I saw the new Lexus interior design, I thought, "Where's the luxury?" and wrote it off my list of desirable cars. They seem to be focused on technology more than luxury, and I want both.

Hey Josh, JPMC Alum here again. Didn’t realize the QX60 got refreshed lately. Glad I caught this vid. Btw, did consider the RX500h, 4 cylinder angst notwithstanding, but a $75k MSRP seemed absurd. Loved my last Infiniti Q45 (‘93) but we’ll never see that v8 again😢. Did test a Genesis for the first time (GV80) … instant HUGE fan. Would love to see you do a vid on that Bad Boy, especially a “Coupe” trim that hasn’t been introduced yet into the US, maybe later this year?! 🤷 cheers, BA

@joshjamescars 13 дней назад

Hello again! Be happy you’re retired; JPMC was making my life difficult today haha! But yes! This is an all-new generation that came out in 2022 (the platform is technically the same but everything else was completely revamped) and it’s really impressive. There will also be a coupe-UV (FX-esque) coming out later this year as well and if they nail the design on that, I think that could also give the GV80 coupe a run for its money. Though if I remember right, the GV80 gets way more expensive than this and I think the coupe was going to be the halo model. Anyhow, yes I’ll have to see if there’s any way I can snag one! Cheers!

Took a look at a TX also interior is just sad.

@rogerventorres7234 12 дней назад

@@joshjamescars The question is, would Toyota since they suspended their EV production and preferred to be penalized by the powers that be (for the sake of Green energy), would Toyota bring back the V6 and V8? If Infinity / Nissan retained V6 and V8 naturally aspirated Direct, commit to these type of engine, likely a large group of loyal Toyota users may exodus to Infinity/Nissan. The sweet hum of the V6 was clearly heard and I trust that was not coming OFF the speakers like the current 5th generation Lexus, which I personally dubbed as a FIRST GEN RX inline 4's be it turbo or hybrid or combined. Testing a new car benchmarking it with the older car always instantly make me want to get rid of my older car. Not this time comparing the 2023 RX to my 2013! But then I did not realize this was an INLINE 4. An avid RX 500H however posted in FB that hands down the 500h will smoke the older V6. I retorted I did not buy a race car and wish those users luck driving hours sustaining speed above 80 mph. But only time can tell. Does this Q60 take PREMIUM or 87 Octane? You gave me hope Josh, as I thought I will be stuck buying USED, cars. Bought last fall the 2022 RX F sport my preferred line with only 5600 miles. But I have no control on my preferred first oil change at 1000 MILES then change it every 2000 miles to 10,000 miles then follow every 6 months change. My first car a Toyota Corona in the Phillipines when back to ZERO kms and went all the way to over 100's thousands km. True story.

@joshjamescars 12 дней назад

@rogerventorres7234 Well first I just want to set the record straight here, Toyota hasn’t suspended any EV production-they’re moving full steam ahead into EVs and alternative fuel vehicles. In case you’re not aware, Lexus is going full EV by 2030. No gas cars and no hybrid cars will wear the Lexus badge in the next 5-10 years. Here’s the thing to understand: Toyota is such a huge company that they don’t need loyal customers to buy their cars which is why you don’t see them catering to people like us. They’re catering to the off roaders because they can milk a ton of profit out of them (with a $65K Tacoma, $85K GX550, etc.). But make no mistake we are never going to see a U-turn from Toyota toward bigger engines, and it honestly won’t be long before Nissan/Infiniti and Honda/Acura also ditch bigger, naturally aspirated engines too. The QX80 as you probably know is losing its V8 for 2025 and will also be a twin-turbo V6. So if you value that, you have probably the next 2-3 years to find a car that meets your needs if you want to buy new. As for the QX60, it recommends premium but will run perfectly fine on regular gas too!

I enjoyed your review of the QX60. I agree with your assessment of the car since I have own a 2024 QX60 for the last 6 months. I did get the Autograph trim since I like the captain's chairs in the second row. The only comment I have is the engine is a little underwhelming compared to my 2017 Q7 which I traded in for the QX60. Don't get me wrong, the QX60 engine is sufficient for most driving situations; it's just those times you would like a little more HP to navigate traffic. The other comment I have is, I found the QX60 the best value overall when compared to its major competitors. In most cases, I would have paid $8-$10,000 more for one of the competitor's cars in order to get the same features.

@joshjamescars 11 дней назад

Great choice! To be fair, with regard to the Q7, I’m guessing you had either the turbo I4 or turbo V6. Either one is going to feel faster off the line because you had the advantage of forced induction engine, which typically allows the engine to hit max power much lower in the rev range than a naturally aspirated V6 which has no forced induction and hits its max power much closer to the redline.

I currently have a 2014 QX70 with 150k miles and have been thinking of trading for a Porsche Cayenne. I had a 2009 and 2012 FX and QX70 previously and have always loved the driving experience with these SUV’s. I drove the 2024 QX60 and yes a beautiful car. I am looking for something more sport and that is why I was leaning to the Cayenne. I have heard there might be a QX65 and am therefore holding off buying. Do you know anything about the QX65? Any thoughts? Great review.

@joshjamescars 13 дней назад

Yes! Murano and QX65 are coming sometime between now and the end of the year and the QX65 will be an FX-like coupe-UV. The big difference between your QX70 and the QX65 is that yours is rear wheel drive (or RWD biased AWD) and the QX60/65 is front wheel drive (or FWD biased AWD). The Cayenne is great, but definitely make sure you are prepared to spend the money on Porsche servicing and parts (most people say to set aside about $2K a year for routine maintenance and wear items). It’s a pretty penny but to some, it’s worth it! The other one to keep an eye on is the Genesis GV80 Coupe which looks hot and should slot in between the QX65 and Cayenne in all respects (pricing, driving dynamics, etc.)

Beautiful car!! Thoughts on Infiniti reliability though? It seems like Mazda has been stepping up their game as well. Toyota/Lexus should watch your videos and take notes!

@joshjamescars 13 дней назад

Infiniti reliability especially with this engine should be quite good. As for Mazda, they have a lot of issues to work out with the CX90. Go look at the long list of recalls that have been issued on that platform. I think in 2-3 years a lot of it will have been ironed out but I’m passing on them for the moment. Also, the new I6 and PHEV power trains are brand new from the ground up and incredibly complex… it won’t cost BMW money to fix down the line but complexity and novelty inherently lead to problems in early years.

@@joshjamescars Thanks for responding. I too like what Nissan is becoming. Question, what’s your honest assessment of Robue or Outlander vs. RAV 4?

@joshjamescars 3 дня назад

I think it depends on what you value in a car. Rav4 is going to offer a hybrid which neither Rogue nor Outlander does and to me is a miss because most others in the segment do. The Rav hybrid is simply the best driving appliance you can get from a value/drive/reliability perspective. I don’t personally care for the Rogue’s 3-cylinder turbo and CVT combo and that would count the Rogue out entirely for me. I had one as a rental car for a couple weeks this past winter and the drivetrain didn’t feel well sorted. In the pure gas models, the Outlander and Rogue also have CVTs where the RAV4 has an 8-speed automatic. But the Outlander PHEV is great and definitely more luxurious than the Rav4 Prime.

And with Lexus your first two services are supposed to be free. That said, I always do the prepaid maintenance packages because it is a large sum upfront but it comes out to be way less per service than if you paid out of pocket at the time. Both Lexus and Infiniti offer them, but the price is set by the dealer. I think I paid $600-$800 for 3 years of services (so 6 total services) with Lexus on my GX460.

@ramin-vk9yx Ah! No worries! There are two factors at play with Infiniti resale. First, there’s supply and demand. There’s more supply than demand with the QX60. So the new ones get discounted to sell which means that the prices they’ll sell for on the secondhand market is even lower. Then there’s the fact that resale is all about perception of any given vehicle. These aren’t nearly as “desirable” in the mind of the average consumer as say an RX. Even though the RX is mediocre now, it will still have great resale value because people won’t look beyond “It’s a Lexus RX” and so they’ll buy it for some sky high number no questions asked.

It’s refreshing to hear someone giving credit where it’s due. So many reviewers approach Nissan and Infiniti with an immediate bias that they don’t truly allow themselves to appreciate the strengths that are there. The QX60 is a solid product in this class. I do think there are nicer options, but you’re going to pay way more. But yes, it’s nicer than any Lexus competitor. I have been SO underwhelmed by Lexus plain and mostly black interiors. I really feel like they’re taking advantage of their reputation. The TX is so blah and the fact that it shares so much with the TX. They literally only changed the front and rear end on the exterior. But you won’t see people calling Lexus out for that, but somehow people complain the QX60 is too much like the Pathfinder when they share not one exterior panel and even have a completely different roof line. Inside the only thing they share are the bottom of the door cards and lower bits that you really don’t see. And never mind how much better the QX60 rides. This thing should be flying off lots but people really shop badges versus the best actual product. But I have a feeling once the new QX80 is on sale, and they update the QX60, QX60 sales are going to go up. I Agree, Infiniti should be watched. The QX65 should be interesting. The fact that it’s taking a while to come to market and shares the same underpinnings as the QX60 means there is some significant difference between. I’m hoping they debut a more powerful hybrid/plugin hybrid option.

When I mentioned a badge, I was speaking moreso of how so many people blindly purchase things without considering other options and doing research. I get that Toyota/Lexus has been historically reliable, but that doesn't mean they're always the best option to buy. And it doesn't mean that will always be true and the shift to being unreliable can be a very quick one.

Hello! A few thoughts. Since you’re coming from an S6, I would probably go with an MDX Type-S instead. They’re about $5-10K more than a QX60, but the TT V6 in the Type-S is outstanding and worth the premium. It also rides and drives more like a sedan which you might prefer given that you’re coming from a sedan. As for the 4Runner, I would at the Limited is my favorite. I bought the TRD Pro really only for the resale which I knew would be higher (and it was).

The MDX drives and rides like a station wagon, meaning more agile, a lot lower to the ground, and less isolated from the road. The MDX is three inches shorter in height and the seating position is much lower than the QX60. For the best drive, though, you need to skip the regular MDX and get the MDX Type-S.

But the new QX80 is getting rid of the NA V8 in favor of a twin turbo V6. I wish an NA V8 should be an option for buyers.

@joshjamescars 14 дней назад

Global emissions standards are to blame for that. V8s are going away, period. So yes it sucks but we have to move on.

No led interior lighting?

@joshjamescars 7 дней назад

They are LED, just a warmer white. You also have LED ambient lighting at night.

It'll be years before I think any Infinity is better than the beautiful silver GX 460 you own.

@joshjamescars 13 дней назад

Oh well I don’t mean that I would ever replace my Gx460 with an Infiniti but between this and a new Lexus product? It would be this! ;)

This vs mdx?

@joshjamescars 10 дней назад

It depends what you prefer, which is the nice thing about having both the MDX and QX60 available on the market. I personally prefer a more SUV-like ride and drive, meaning higher off the ground, more upright, and more isolated. The MDX drives and rides like a station wagon, meaning more agile, a lot lower to the ground, and less isolated from the road. The MDX is three inches shorter in height and the seating position is much lower than the QX60. Someone here also mentioned that the MDX is lacking third row air vents and the only two for the second row are in the center console. If the budget allows, get the MDX Type-S. ;)

Imo the xc90, qx60 and the gv80 are the best premium midsized crossovers to buy because they actually feel like they are more special than their mainstream counterparts

@joshjamescars 13 дней назад

I agree completely, having owned an XC90 for a lease term. Didn’t love the $14,000 of repairs that I had to make to it (all covered under warranty), but no one does an interior like Volvo!
