What a 2017 Q60 build tool does and where to find it
A Q60 build tool is an online configurator where you select options for a 2017 Infiniti Q60 — engine, transmission, trim level, paint color, interior materials, and features — and see the result displayed as a visual preview and a price estimate. Infiniti's official build tool lives on their website under the "Build and Price" section, though the 2017 model year is no longer current, so you may need to search for archived versions or contact a dealer directly to access it.
The tool is most useful if you are shopping for a used 2017 Q60 and want to understand what a specific configuration should cost, or if you are curious about how different options change the price and appearance. Because the 2017 model year ended production years ago, the tool may not be fully functional on Infiniti's main site anymore, but the information about available trims, engines, and options is still accurate and worth knowing before you talk to a dealer or private seller.
Key Takeaways
- The 2017 Q60 came in three main trim levels — Pure, Luxe, and Red Sport 400 — each with different standard features and price points.
- Engine choices were a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in the Pure and Luxe, or a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 in the Red Sport 400.
- Popular options included the navigation package, premium audio system, adaptive headlights, and sport-tuned suspension.
- Paint color, interior leather type, and wheel design all affect the final price and appearance of your configuration.
The three trim levels and what comes standard
The 2017 Q60 lineup started with the Pure, which included a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and a backup camera. The Pure was the entry point and had the lowest base price, though it still came with power windows, locks, and steering.
The Luxe trim added leather seats, a power driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, and a larger 8-inch touchscreen with navigation capability. It used the same 2.0-liter turbo engine as the Pure. The Luxe represented the middle of the lineup and was where most buyers landed because it offered comfort features without the price jump to the top tier.
The Red Sport 400 was the performance-focused trim, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produced 400 horsepower. It came with sport-tuned suspension, a sport-tuned transmission, 19-inch wheels, premium leather, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a more aggressive exterior design. This trim was significantly more expensive than the Luxe.
Engine and transmission choices
The 2017 Q60 offered two engine options. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder was standard on Pure and Luxe trims and produced 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and was designed for fuel efficiency and everyday driving. All 2.0-liter models came with rear-wheel drive.
The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 was exclusive to the Red Sport 400 and produced 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. This engine paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission tuned for sport driving, and the Red Sport 400 also offered available all-wheel drive. The V6 was substantially more powerful and thirsty for fuel, but it delivered the performance the Red Sport 400 name promised.
Popular options and packages
The navigation package added a more advanced infotainment system with real-time traffic, voice recognition, and smartphone integration. Many buyers added this to Pure and Luxe trims since navigation was standard on Red Sport 400.
The premium audio package upgraded the standard system to a Bose sound system with more speakers and better tuning. This was a popular choice for buyers who spent time in the car and wanted better music quality.
Adaptive LED headlights were available and adjusted their beam pattern based on speed and steering input, improving visibility at night. The sport-tuned suspension package lowered the ride height slightly and stiffened the springs and dampers for a more responsive feel, though it also made the ride firmer on rough roads.
Wheel designs ranged from 17-inch steel wheels on the Pure to 18-inch and 19-inch alloy wheels on higher trims and as options. Larger wheels changed the appearance significantly and affected ride quality and tire cost.
Paint colors and interior materials
The 2017 Q60 came in several exterior paint colors, including solid colors like Pearl White, Midnight Black, and Graphite Shadow, as well as metallic options like Moonlight White, Liquid Platinum, and Vibrant Red. Paint color choice affected the final price, with metallic and special finishes costing more than solid colors.
Interior options included standard cloth on the Pure, leather on the Luxe, and premium leather on the Red Sport 400. Leather color choices typically included black, tan, and sometimes a two-tone combination. The interior material and color affected both the price and the feel of the cabin, with leather being warmer and more formal than cloth.
How to use the build tool or find pricing information
If you are shopping for a used 2017 Q60, the original Infiniti build tool may no longer be live, but you can still gather the information you need. Visit Infiniti's website and search for archived 2017 Q60 specifications, or contact a local Infiniti dealer and ask them to walk you through the trim levels and options over the phone.
You can also use third-party automotive sites like Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, or Cars.com to see how different 2017 Q60 configurations are priced in the used market. These sites let you filter by trim, engine, options, and mileage, which gives you a real-world sense of what buyers are paying for specific builds.
When you find a specific used Q60 you are interested in, use the information in this guide to understand what trim and options it has, then compare its price to similar configurations in your area. This helps you spot whether a particular car is priced fairly or if you should keep looking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Pure and Luxe trims?
The Luxe adds leather seats, a power driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, and an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, while the Pure has cloth seats, manual seat adjustment, and a smaller 7-inch touchscreen. Both use the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The Luxe costs several thousand dollars more but offers more comfort and convenience.
Does the 2017 Q60 come in all-wheel drive?
All-wheel drive was available only on the Red Sport 400 trim with the 3.0-liter V6 engine. The Pure and Luxe trims with the 2.0-liter turbo came in rear-wheel drive only. If all-wheel drive is important to you, the Red Sport 400 is your only option for the 2017 model year.
How much more does the Red Sport 400 cost than the Luxe?
The price difference varies depending on options and location, but the Red Sport 400 typically cost $8,000 to $12,000 more than a comparably equipped Luxe. The main drivers of the higher price are the 3.0-liter V6 engine, sport suspension, larger wheels, and premium interior materials. Used prices for 2017 models vary by mileage and condition.
Can I add all-wheel drive to a Pure or Luxe?
No, all-wheel drive was not offered on the Pure or Luxe trims in 2017. It was exclusive to the Red Sport 400. If you need all-wheel drive and want a 2017 Q60, you must choose the Red Sport 400, which also means you get the V6 engine and sport features.
What is the fuel economy of the 2017 Q60?
The 2.0-liter turbo in the Pure and Luxe was rated at approximately 23 miles per gallon city and 32 highway. The 3.0-liter V6 in the Red Sport 400 was rated at approximately 20 city and 27 highway. Actual mileage depends on driving habits and conditions. Used cars may show different real-world efficiency based on age and maintenance.
