The conventional QX60 was popular with families and was recognized for its spacious packaging and uniquely comfortable third-row seating. The proportions of the new model reflect Infiniti's desire to transform the model with a more aerodynamic and powerful silhouette while retaining these strengths. The front of the new model adopts the "double arch" grille of Infiniti's identity. From the side, it features a strong horizontal bonnet, powerful fenders and a long wheelbase. The gently sloping A-pillar and the tapered teardrop-shaped glasshouse create a flowing and sophisticated outline. The high shoulder line is said to have the effect of raising the center of gravity. The new model pursues quietness. In addition to the front windshield and acoustic noise reduction glass on the front and rear doors, the aero kit, "ANC (active noise reduction)", flexible suspension structure, "ART (engine active vibration reduction)" and noise reduction are adopted. there is ◆In the "Zero Gravity Seat" interior, which reduces fatigue based on ergonomics, the space around the center console is expanded by adopting a shift-by-wire system. This part houses the drive mode selector, which switches between five selectable modes (Standard, ECO, Snow, Sport and Personal). It adopts a 12.3-inch full LCD high-definition 3D instrument panel, a 12.3-inch multi-touch high-definition center display, and a class-leading 10.8-inch head-up display system. An AR (augmented reality) online navigation system is also available. The "Zero Gravity Seat" is an ergonomically designed seat developed by Nissan to reduce fatigue. With reference to the human posture in zero gravity measured by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the heavy parts of the body are continuously and firmly supported from the pelvis to the chest, reducing the strain on the muscles and spine and allowing you to sit for long periods of time. It was developed with the aim of reducing fatigue during running. The new Zero Gravity Seat uses semi-aniline leather with a supple and soft quilting process. In addition, the front seats are equipped with air conditioning and massage functions. ◆ Equipped with the world's first mass-produced variable compression ratio engine "VC Turbo" The powertrain of the Chinese specification car is equipped with a "VC Turbo" engine. The VC Turbo is the world's first mass-produced variable compression ratio engine. Infiniti has introduced this VC turbo technology to its new generation 2.0-liter in-line 4-cylinder gasoline turbo engine. The 2.0-liter in-line 4-cylinder gasoline turbo engine with VC turbo produces a maximum output of 252hp and a maximum torque of 38.3kgm for Chinese specifications. According to Infiniti, while achieving both high output and fuel efficiency, noise and vibration are suppressed, and lightweight and compact design is pursued. The fuel consumption performance of the Chinese model is said to be 10.4km/liter. The transmission combines a newly developed 9-speed AT. The newly developed 9-speed AT has a larger gear ratio. This makes it possible to achieve a highly responsive starting performance. The 9-speed AT also improves fuel efficiency on highways. The wider gear ratio also improves performance and ride comfort.
