To say that Infiniti's product layout in China is relatively slow is indeed so, as a company that has entered the Chinese market in 2007, and decided to achieve domestic brands in 2014, until this year ushered in the third domestic model, compared to many luxury brands The localization speed is not a star and a half, but "late is better than not arriving.".
Recently, Infiniti once again brought the QX60 positioning medium and large SUV in the domestic identity, and at the same time opened the pre-sale of new cars, the pre-price range was 450,000-660,000 yuan, and a total of 3 models were released, compared with the current starting price of the same series as an imported model of 479,800 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the new car has undergone a more obvious change, adjusting the original smoother body shape to a tougher shape, and integrating the latest family design, making the new car look more exquisite overall.
On the side of the body, the suspension roof design is adopted, and the shape is adjusted to be more simple than the current model, and more chrome decorative strips are added to the window to present the luxury of the model.
In terms of dimensions, the new car has a length, width and height of 5127/2005/1767 mm and a wheelbase of 2900 mm. Compared with the current model, the length and width height have been improved, but the wheelbase has not changed. This is also because the Infiniti QX60 still comes from the same D-Platform platform architecture as the old model.
The tail change is relatively obvious, and the popular through-the-tail lights are used, and the large chrome-plated hidden tail throat that echoes the front car enhances the sophistication of the model.
Entering the interior, the new car upgrade is more obvious, although it can be seen that the design style of the latest Nissan family is adopted, but in the details, Infiniti integrates more texture experience.
For example, the large area of imitation leather wrapping makes the luxurious atmosphere of the new car more prominent.
It is reported that the new QX60 will also have 2+2+2 6-seaters in terms of seats, and a 2+3+2 seven-seat version to choose from.
Powered by a 2.0TVC-Turbo variable compression ratio turbocharged engine, the new car has a maximum power of 185 kW (252 hp) and a maximum torque of 376 Nm.
Matching this is ZF's 9-gear automatic transmission, which should be known to have been exposed by CCTV 3·15 evenings, after all, the latter gearbox problem was once the biggest slot point of the car.
In addition, from the name of the new car, it can also be seen that the new car will be equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
Needless to say, as a medium-sized SUV model, the benchmark model will be BMW X5 and Audi Q7, but that is Infiniti's market in North America.
BMW X5 L
When coming to China, the most direct competitors of new cars can only be Cadillac's XT6 or Lincoln's Aviator and so on.
Cadillac XT6
Guidance price: 39.27-55.27 million yuan
Lincoln Aviator
Guidance price: 50.98-75.98 million yuan
Overall, the upgrade of the new QX60 is indeed obvious, from the inside to the outside can be seen to abandon the traditional shape, especially the often complained about the interior styling is more exquisite, the most important thing is that the power has been replaced by the latest VC-Turbo technology of the Nissan family.
However, for the current domestic new car is only 30,000 yuan lower than the imported model, in everyone's view is still almost interesting, after all, the BBA brand that has more advantages in the country has achieved a large price exploration under the model of localization, and Infiniti, which has been significantly marginalized by the market, is smaller, and there will be some market pressure.
Of course, after the new car is officially listed, the price may also be explored, coupled with the obvious upgrade of the new car, do you think the new domestic QX60 can have a chance to break through?

Netizen 2: This is the "sincerity" pricing after localization production?
Netizen 3: If the entry-level version of the discount is within 400,000, you can consider it!
Netizen 4: The imported version is now less than 40 to sell, and the domestic version dares to bid for 450,000?
Netizen 5: lifelong free maintenance, engine, gearbox lifetime warranty, very tempting!
Netizen 5: What is the hurry upstairs? These are all pre-sale floating clouds, wait for the 20 points discount and then start!
Netizen 6: I feel that manufacturers should make an insurance plan and recycle a few percent of the fare after a few years.
