2017 Infiniti QX60 earns 5-Star rating in New Car Assessment Program Testing

The Infiniti QX60 – Infiniti’s best-selling crossover SUV – has a reputation for its versatility and safety. That tradition continues with the release of the 2017 QX60. Recently, the crossover was named a 5-Star Safety Rated vehicle in the NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program, the fourth consecutive year the QX60 has won the prestigious award.

Here’s even more good news: The 2017 QX60 is coming to Sawgrass Infiniti this fall. We’re proud of Infiniti’s commitment to safety and to developing safety innovations, and the QX60 is a perfect example of that commitment. With its suite of advanced safety tech, the 2017 QX60 offers enhanced safety and driving assistance.

Innovative Safety Technology in the 2017 QX60

Over the last four years, Infiniti has introduced a number of sonar- and camera-enabled systems into the entire line-up. The result is safer vehicles that help the driver see obscured obstructions around the vehicle. In addition to the 2017 QX60’s standard safety features, including a multipoint advanced airbag system and Vehicle Dynamic System and Traction Control, a number of additional features are available, including:

Predictive Forward Collision Warning: The QX60’s Predictive Collision system continuously monitors the area around the vehicle, alerting drivers of obstructions out of view. The system also calculates the velocity and distance of traffic ahead and behind the vehicle.

Forward Emergency Braking: If a collision is unavoidable, forward emergency braking automatically applies the brakes to reduce impact speed or avoid impact altogether. The system also alerts drivers when a risk has been detected.

Moving Object Detection: This system detects pedestrian motion when the vehicle is in park or moving slowly. Several cameras from the AroundView Monitoring system are utilized, as well as single camera mounted in the front of the vehicle.

AroundView Monitoring: Like a more comprehensive version of a back-up camera, the AroundView Monitor provides a birds-eye view of the vehicle, enabling driver’s to see a full 360 degrees around the vehicle on the QX60’s infotainment display.

Blind Spot Warning: When a vehicle is in the QX60’s blind spot, a light is illuminated in the instruments. If the turn signal is engaged, the light starts to flash and audible warnings are sounded.

Blind Spot Intervention: Infiniti was the first automaker to introduce a blind spot intervention system in vehicles. Along with the Blind Spot Warning system, this feature alerts drivers, but if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, it will autonomously move the car back to the center of its current lane if drift is detected.

Lane Departure Warning and Prevention: Both of these feature alert drivers of and prevent unintentional lane drift. The Warning system provides light and audible warnings when drift is detected. The prevention system also automatically slowly applies the brakes to help you move back into the lane.

Intelligent Cruise Control: Intelligent cruise control is a truly 21st century CC system. The system monitors traffic around the QX60 and automatically adjusts outputs to maintenance safe distance. If traffic ahead slows, the system detects this and slows as well.

2017 QX60 Coming Soon to Sawgrass Infiniti

The 5-star rated QX60 will arrive at our Tamarac location this fall, and there are plenty of reasons beyond its excellent safety features to consider the QX60. With luxury finishing, polished style, sporty performance, and tons of entertainment options, the QX60 is the ultimate luxury crossover SUV.
