Well, consider it official...the new Infiniti QX60 will be available in hybrid form...and at just a $3,000 premium over the conventional QX60 model. And yes, it will deliver on the fuel economy front. In fact, the QX60 will be the most fuel-efficient 3-row luxury crossover on the market. How's that for Inspired Performance of the green variety?
Infiniti announced that a
new gasoline electric hybrid model will join the 2014 Infiniti QX60 premium
crossover lineup in the United States this summer, following its world debut at
the New York International Auto Show.
With the addition of the new QX60 Hybrid to the
Q70 Hybrid (currently available as the M Hybrid) and previously announced Q50
Hybrid, Infiniti will have a trio of advanced Direct Response Hybrids for the
2014 model year.
The new Infiniti QX60 Hybrid is projected to realize 26 miles per gallon fuel
economy (combined city/highway driving) – a 24 percent increase over non-hybrid
QX60 models and is projected to have best 7-passenger fuel efficiency in the
segment. Most significantly, it does so with absolutely no compromise of performance,
interior roominess or cargo space compared to non-hybrid QX60 models
.
The new QX60 Hybrid will be powered by a 2.5-liter supercharged engine and 15
kW electric motor connected to an advanced CVT (Continuously Variable
Transmission). Net system horsepower is estimated at 250 horsepower. Based on
technology found in the Infiniti M35h Hybrid, the QX60 Hybrid's Infiniti Direct
Response Hybrid® system uses a compact Lithium-ion battery and electric motor
to provide supplementary power through its one-motor/two-clutch system. The
result is a delivery of power equivalent to the 3.5-liter V6 but with
4-cylinder fuel economy. An Intelligent Regenerative Braking system partially
recharges the battery during vehicle braking.
