The 2015 Infiniti QX60 is a three-row luxury crossover SUV designed for families who want upscale comfort, a quiet ride, and easy daily drivability. It’s part of the first-generation QX60 lineup (introduced as the JX35 for 2013, renamed QX60 for 2014), positioned as a premium alternative to mainstream 7-passenger SUVs with a strong focus on cabin refinement. This model year is ideal for commuters and road-trippers who value a smooth ride, flexible seating, and available all-wheel drive. In the used market, it’s often cross-shopped with the Acura MDX, Lexus RX L (later years), and Buick Enclave for comfort and practicality.

1) 3.5L V6 PERFORMANCE: The 2015 QX60 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 (VQ35) producing around 265 horsepower, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It’s tuned for smooth power delivery rather than sporty feel. 2) FWD OR INTELLIGENT AWD: Front-wheel drive is standard, with available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive for improved traction in rain and snow. AWD models are popular for buyers in colder climates. 3) 7-PASSENGER VERSATILITY: Standard three-row seating with a family-friendly layout, including a sliding second row that helps make third-row access easier even with a child seat installed (a major convenience feature in this class). 4) UPLEVEL CABIN AND TECH: Available leather seating, heated front seats, power liftgate, Bose audio, navigation, and around-view camera on higher trims/packages. Many shoppers seek the 360-degree camera for parking ease. 5) TOWING CAPABILITY: Properly equipped models can tow up to about 5,000 lbs, making it capable for small campers, utility trailers, or a pair of personal watercraft (always verify hitch equipment and cooling package details on the specific vehicle).

Shoppers commonly search “2015 Infiniti QX60 reliability” and “2015 Infiniti QX60 problems” because this model is known for a few repeat trouble spots. Overall reliability can be solid with maintenance, but it’s not a “set it and forget it” SUV. 1) CVT SHUDDER/SLIP OR EARLY WEAR: The most discussed concern is the CVT. Owners report shuddering, delayed engagement, or rpm “flare,” sometimes appearing around 60,000–120,000 miles depending on driving conditions and service history. Regular fluid service helps, but neglected fluid can accelerate wear. 2) SUSPENSION/STEERING NOISES: Clunks or rattles over bumps can be linked to worn struts, sway bar links, or control arm bushings, often becoming noticeable in the 70,000–120,000-mile range. It’s usually repairable without major drivetrain work, but it affects ride quality. 3) BRAKE WEAR AND VIBRATION: Some owners report faster-than-expected brake pad/rotor wear or pulsation under braking. Warped rotors can show up around 30,000–60,000 miles depending on driving style and terrain. 4) INTERIOR AND ELECTRONICS NIGGLES: Common issues include intermittent infotainment/backup camera glitches, power liftgate quirks, or sensor warnings. These are typically annoyance-level problems, but they’re worth checking during a pre-purchase inspection.
