Vehicle Overview
The Q60 is what’s left of the former G37 line that included a sedan, coupe and retractable-hardtop convertible. The sedan was redesigned last year and is now called the Q50 (covered separately in the Cars.com Research Section). The G37 coupe and convertible have been renamed Q60 and carry over on the previous design.
The coupe is available with rear- or all-wheel drive, and the convertible comes only with rear-wheel drive. Both seat four. Competitors include the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, as well as the Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS and Audi A5.
Both body styles are also available with rear-wheel drive in Q60 IPL (Infiniti Performance Line) guise with more horsepower, a firmer suspension and specific trim.

New for 2015
Two new limited models have been added to the Q60 lineup: the Q60S Limited with a six-speed manual transmission and the Q60S Coupe Limited, replacing the IPL models. There are no other significant changes.
