Yeah but they don't.

Crossover doesn't mean instant sales lol and the QX50/QX55 flop proved that. I'm sure QX65 will be more successful but how many people are really gonna fork out 60-65k for this?

 

I dont see this selling amazing either honestly. The QX60 sold just a bit over 30k units last year and crossover coupes always sell much less than their more traditional counterparts. 30k units for vehicle priced and meant to compete directly against the RX is pretty abyssmal.

 

i agree.

unless it's a lot cheaper, why would anyone buy this frumpy fwd cuv instead of a genesis gv70?

 

I think only enthusiasts will care that the GV70 is RWD.

Lexus has shown that there's plenty of people willing to spend luxury car money for an FWD because they don't even think about which wheels move the car.

I'd personally prefer the Genesis.

 

The GV70 as it is already outsells the QX60. It's like if the Lexus GS outsold the ES. What Infinti did to make the QX60 do so poorly is beyond me.

 

Even if it was the 400hp TTV6 - that engine has been around more than a decade now. It looks like a cross between the new Trailblazer and something else.

 

I wonder if they ever resolved the turbo failures on those. From what i've heard it's a matter of time on every VR30.

 

i see almost no gv70’s on the road… so maybe both sell in tiny numbers.

 

Infiniti was the only company that I can remember that found a way to fail in the midsize Luxury Crossover segment recently. Hope this turns out better for them.

 

Is that really a strategy to model?

 

Really? I see them everywhere.

 

Maserati too!
Levante discontinued after 2023... with no successor?!

 

I've always thought some of their cars (Nissan/Infiniti) look good but for some reasons I always ended up picking something else from Honda/Toy/Lexus... I've actually never test driven one. Lol.
I think this QX65 and QX55 look nice and some of their other current cars as well.

 

Oh yes, how can I forget! A couple of moribund brands there lol.
