Don’t expect to see 2023 Infiniti Q60 as the 2022 model would be the last one ever produced. The company has confirmed that their coupe Q60 would be discontinued in 2023. It means that the 2022 model would be the last one made into production.
Some Facts about the 2023 Model
Infiniti has made an official confirmation that there won’t be any 2023 Infiniti Q60 as they will discontinue the coupe by the end of the year. The company decided to cancel the next production because they want to have more focus on the popular variants, such as SUVs and also crossovers. The Q60 has a pretty short-lived period, launching in just 2017 and ended up as the 2022 model.
About the Q60
Infiniti Q60 was first introduced as a concept vehicle in 2015 during Detroit Motor Show. The company then revealed the production model version only a year after the 2015 – doing it during the similar show. The coupe has this good-looking appearance, but then again, sedan is viewed not attractive. The driving experience is not exciting. Not to mention that the interior cabin is considered drab and plain. In short, many auto enthusiasts view the Infiniti Q60 as boring and unappealing.
Although the company has confirmed that they are going to continue making the model until the 2022 model ends, they won’t go further with the model. The company wants their retails and dealers to have (and keep) their units for the upcoming sales to the 2023. The company stated that not only they are focusing to the SUVs and crossovers, but they are dedicating their productions to the EVs. After all, it is the future of the auto industry.
Powertrain and Performance
The Q60 is running on V6 twin turbo unit with 3.0 liter capacity, generating 300 hp. If you go with Red Sport 400, you can even enjoy 400 hp. It is paired up with auto 7 speed transmission together with rear wheel driving system as the standard – or the optional all wheel driving system. When compared to the Red Sport, the regular S60 doesn’t have adaptive dampers and Direct Adaptive Steering. It seems that the Red Sport is the exclusive variant that may be priced higher than the regular Q60.
Q and A
Q: Has the confirmation been set about the future of Q60?
A: Yes, there won’t be any 2023 model as the 2022 would be the last one.
Q: Does it mean that Infiniti won’t be producing any more sedan?
A: Not really. They are still making the Q50 model, which is a sedan variant.
Q: If the Q60 won’t continue being produced, what would be the company’s future plan?
A: They are still making the Q50 since the company doesn’t want to axe it off just yet. But if you are into Q50 sedan, you may have to count the days as it won’t be a long-lived period.
Up until now, that’s the only information about the Q60. Maybe there would be more information about the 2023 Infiniti Q60 when such thing is available.
