Infiniti Upgrades Drivetrain Technology in ’22 QX60 CUV The new 9-speed gearbox co-developed with ZF works with a fresh AWD system that can send up to 50% of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels when increased traction is necessary.
The popular QX60 luxury CUV took a gap year from the Infiniti lineup in 2021 but will return for 2022, almost completely new.
We’ve already heard from Infiniti about the new vehicle’s much-improved towing capacity and totally reworked transmission, and now the automaker has announced its all-wheel-drive system will be more advanced than before in more ways than one.
The tried-and-true 3.5L V-6 from the previous QX60 remains in place for 2022, but it’s surrounded by updated drivetrain tech. The unit produces 295 hp and 270 lb.-ft. (366 Nm) of torque.
