Pros: Comfortable on a track, a highway drive or a cruise down the strip, the Infiniti Q60 Convertible, formerly known as the G37 Convertible, hits 2014 with a new name and plenty of selection to meet the needs of a diverse clientele. Powered by an award-winning standard V6 engine and offering up a world-class list of features and technologies, this machine delivers push-button access to the open air, thanks to a fully-motorized roof. When the weather doesn't co-operate the fully hard top offers plenty of insulation from the elements and a clean, coupe-like look.
Cons: Limited trunk space and limited rearward visibility are among the key ‘cons' of the Q60 Convertible. Further, though the 2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible offers four seats, the rear perches will be tight for full-grown adults.
2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible Pricing: For model-year 2014, $58,400 opens the bidding on this striking convertible though numerous options and packages allow owners to raise that figure well north of the $60,000 range. A Q60 Convertible Premier Edition Red model is available with exclusive feature content and added hardware, with pricing from $61,700.
2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible Fuel Economy: Look for fuel economy to land between 12.1 and 12.7 L / 100km during city driving, and between 7.8 and 8.3 L / 100km during highway cruising, depending on the transmission selected.
Improvements and Changes: Improvements on this new model are minor for 2014, though new paint colors are available.
Don't Miss: BOSE Open Air stereo system. Capitalizing on a long-time partnership between Infiniti and Bose, this revolutionary stereo system automatically adjusts its calibrations when the roof is dispatched to ensure optimal clarity and noise reduction via AudioPilot 2.0 technology. By taking active control over the amplifier and equalizer in response to roof position, speed and ambient noise levels, a world-class listening experience is ensured at all times.
2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible Powertrain: All models are powered by Infiniti's acclaimed 3.7 litre VQ-series V6 engine, which generates 325 horsepower. Revving to 7,500 RPM thanks to the free-breathing VVEL cam timing system, the 2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible ensures exhilarating high-rpm pull alongside respectable mileage figures. Microfinished surfaces on key engine internals and numerous friction-reducing efforts further increase refinement and fuel efficiency. Two transmission options are available: namely in the form of a six-speed manual with short-throw shifter, or a highly responsive 7-speed automatic with lightning-fast paddle-shifting.
Safety: Though it's exhaustively engineered for driving pleasure, the Q60 Convertible is no slouch in the safety department. Notable safety features include standard rollover-deployable roll bars, numerous structural reinforcements and the Infiniti Advanced Airbag System. Powerful antilock brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) ensure fuss-free stopping power, while the rear-view monitor system enhances safety in and around the vehicle during reversing. Further, a Bluetooth hands-free phone interface supports drivers in maintaining their full attention on the road ahead even during phone calls.
Comparables: Shoppers checking out the convertible market are advised to investigate the 2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible alongside the Mercedes E-Class Convertible, Audi A5 Cabrio, BMW 4-Series Convertible and Lexus IS-C.
Cons: Limited trunk space and limited rearward visibility are among the key ‘cons' of the Q60 Convertible. Further, though the 2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible offers four seats, the rear perches will be tight for full-grown adults.
