Keeping a close eye on BMW’s strategies and launches, Infiniti is pretty adamant in competing with the Bavarian giant. So, I was simply waiting for Infiniti to launch a model to compete with the 4 Series. Call it coincidence if you like, but Infiniti is working on a new coupe to rival Bimmer’s two-door coupe. Confirmed to be called the Q60 and previewed by the 2016 Q60 Concept, the coupe will be designed along the lines of the 2014 Q50 sedan. In other words, the relationship between the Q50 and Q60 can be easily compared to the one between the 3 Series and the 4 Series.
Given the fact that the coupe will be a derivative of the Q50, I expect the standard, 3.7-liter, V-6 engine to power this two-door beauty. Likewise, the hybrid powertrain that combines a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine and an electric motor could make it into the Q60 as well to keep fuel-conscious customers happy. Although Infiniti had nothing to say about the Q60’s release date, the fact that the Q60 Concept debuted at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show suggests the production version is closer than expected. My money is on the fall of 2015, but more details should become available in the second half of the year. Until then, read on to find out what the Q60 may have in store once it arrives in dealerships.
Updated 01/16/2015: Based on the recent Q60 Concept, we’ve created a rendering for the production version which is expected to arrive just in time for the 2016 model year.
