Infiniti Q60
NHTSA safety across every Infiniti Q60 model year we cover.
Across the 4 model years of the Infiniti Q60 we cover (2019 to 2022), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 4 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Infiniti Q60 is a rear-wheel-drive luxury sport coupe that competes in a segment dominated by the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. Aimed at driving enthusiasts who want premium styling and performance with a Japanese luxury badge, the Q60 carved out a niche as a sleek two-door alternative in Infiniti's lineup from 2019 through 2022.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2019 to 2022 Infiniti Q60 presents a notably thin picture. NHTSA did not conduct crash testing on this model during any of the years we cover, which means there are no federal star ratings to anchor a safety assessment. That absence is significant. Shoppers cannot lean on government crash scores to compare the Q60 against rivals, and that alone warrants caution if crash-test performance is a priority for you. On the recall front, four recalls were issued across the covered model years. That number is not alarming for a four-year window in this segment, but buyers should verify that any used Q60 they consider has all open recall work completed through NHTSA's VIN lookup tool. Owner complaints on file with NHTSA are strikingly low at nine total across all covered years, with one reported crash and no fires, injuries, or deaths noted. These are unverified allegations and the low volume may partly reflect the Q60's modest sales numbers rather than an absence of issues. The honest bottom line: the Q60 is a stylish, performance-oriented coupe, but the lack of any NHTSA crash-test data leaves a genuine gap in its safety profile that neither we nor any buyer can fill with guesswork.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the Q60 for its striking exterior design and composed, engaging driving dynamics, particularly in higher-output variants. Cabin materials and refinement draw mixed reactions, with some finding the interior appointments competitive for the segment and others noting that the technology and infotainment presentation feel a step behind European rivals. Most consider it a rewarding driver's coupe with a strong value proposition relative to German alternatives.
- NHTSA did not crash-test the Q60 in any model year from 2019 to 2022, meaning there are no federal star ratings available to evaluate structural safety performance.
- Four recalls were issued across the 2019 to 2022 model years. Any prospective buyer of a used Q60 should run the VIN through NHTSA's free recall database to confirm all recall repairs have been completed before purchase.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA are very low at nine total across four model years, with one reported crash and zero injuries or deaths noted. These are unverified allegations and the small complaint volume may reflect limited sales volume rather than a clean safety record.
- Because no independent NHTSA crash-test data exists for this generation, shoppers prioritizing verified crash protection should weigh the Q60 carefully against segment competitors that have received federal or IIHS testing during the same period.
