Infiniti Q60 Safety
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.
For the 2019 to 2022 model years, the Infiniti Q60 lacks federal crash-test ratings. NHTSA conducted no crash testing on this model, leaving no star ratings for consumers to consult. This absence of data means direct comparison to other vehicles on crash performance is not possible, a significant point for safety-conscious buyers. The Q60's recall record shows four recalls issued across these four model years, a figure not unusual for the segment. Prospective owners should use NHTSA's VIN tool to confirm all recall repairs are completed. Owner complaints filed with NHTSA total nine across the 2019-2022 period, including one reported crash but no reported fires, injuries, or deaths. While these complaints are unverified, their low volume may reflect lower sales figures more than an absence of issues. Ultimately, without NHTSA crash-test data, the Q60's safety profile remains incomplete.
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.
