Infiniti JX35 → QX60 History
History
The JX35 launched for the 2013 model year as Infiniti's first three-row crossover, assembled at Nissan's Smyrna, Tennessee plant — making it the first Infiniti built outside Japan. A 265-hp 3.5-liter V6 paired with a CVT moved all seven passengers.
Renamed QX60 for 2014, the model received a major redesign for the 2022 model year on a new platform with a nine-speed automatic transmission, addressing the CVT's long-standing criticism.
