ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Infiniti Qx60?
The 2019 Infiniti QX60 posts a Safety Index of 83/100 in the Strong band, with no prior-year Index on file to measure movement against. The score rests on a crash-protection component of 61 out of 70, which reflects the strong NHTSA overall and side ratings while absorbing the four-star results in frontal and rollover categories. Avoidance technology contributes 8.5 out of 10, supported by standard forward collision warning and standard electronic stability control, though lane departure warning is only optional on this model year rather than standard, a distinction that holds the tech score short of its ceiling. The defect record component lands at 13.5 out of 20, pulled down by two recall campaigns, one of which carried the serious park-outside advisory tied to the antilock and traction control braking system. That brake-related campaign is the defining safety event for this specific model year and is the primary reason the defect record sub-score does not reach the upper tier. The 35 unverified complaints, with nine each alleged against the engine and powertrain, add texture to the defect picture without altering the index directly. Taken together, the 2019 QX60 presents a genuinely strong crash-test profile undercut by a notable recall burden that prospective owners should treat as a priority item.
