ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Infiniti Qx60?
Three active recall campaigns define the safety profile of the 2023 Infiniti QX60, contributing to its NHTSA Safety Index score of 88 out of 100. This places it in the Strong band, though it marks a slight dip from the 2022 model's 89 out of 100. The defect record sub-score, at 15 out of 20, directly reflects these campaigns. Crash protection remains a core strength for the 2023 QX60, evidenced by a sub-score of 63 out of 70. This is backed by its 5-star overall NHTSA rating and a perfect 5-star score in side impact tests. The vehicle also achieves a full 10 out of 10 for its avoidance technology sub-score, with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control provided as standard features. The recall record for 2023 specifically highlights two distinct issues related to seating. One campaign addresses fasteners for the driver's powered seat. A separate campaign concerns second-row seats that may over-extend. Additionally, a third recall, which affects the adaptive lighting module, is also applicable to the 2023 model year, as it spans the 2022-2024 production run. These three recall campaigns warrant attention for any prospective owner of a 2023 Infiniti QX60.
