Overview

The 2018 Infiniti Q60 is a midsize coupe offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $39,950. For that price, it mainly competes with the BMW 4 Series Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and the Lexus RC 300 Coupe. Between 3 trims, the Q60 offers 2 powertrain options. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 capable of making 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 300 horsepower-making 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine. This V6 is optional on the mid-tier Luxe trim and standard on the top-tier Sport trim. Both engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The Q60 reaches 60 MPH from zero in 6.9 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.4 seconds with the V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Q60 can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 24 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 6 striking colors the Q60 comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

For a midsize coupe with multiple powertrain options, the 2018 Infiniti Q60 offers versatile trim options. We would recommend opting in for the Luxe with a V6 engine for a more engaged and nimble driving experience. This trim also gets a standard sunroof and Bose sound system along with performance upgrades.
