Exterior (Overall Design)

Interior Features

In the middle of the dashboard, an eye-catching infotainment unit splits the car into two in the middle. The steering wheel is upholstered with soft leather, and it automatically adjusts. You also get steering wheel controls for the infotainment center and cruise control. Cabin storage comes in the form of a glove compartment, door pockets, and a small bin near the center stack. The trunk space is 8.7 cubic feet. As for the Lexus RC, the trunk space is 10.4 cubic feet, slightly larger than what the Q60 offers. The interior of the RC is quite thrilling and spacious and offers some great storage options. However, the back seat is smaller than the Q60's. Climate control features, soft leather upholstery, and a small screen near the top of the dashboard complete the cabin's look.
Engine Specs and Performance
The INFINITI Q60 comes with either a 300- or 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine with a twin-turbo. It transfers power to the wheels through the seven-speed automatic gearbox and can be configured for either AWD (all-wheel drive) or RWD (rear-wheel drive) depending on the model. The 400-horsepower Q60 comes with larger wheels and brakes. The less-powerful base model Lexus RC features a 241-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that transfers power through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Other models come with V6 engines that can produce 255 or 306 horsepower. Likewise, some of the RC models are configured for RWD or AWD.
