Marcus Craft road tests and reviews the 2.0T GT version of the new Infiniti Q60 coupe, with specs, fuel consumption and verdict at its Australian launch.

The 2017 Infiniti Q60 has a fair bit of pressure riding on it. It's leading the brand's coupe strategy – at least until its big bro, the 3.0-litre 3.0T, arrives in March 2017 any way – and forms a strong part of Infiniti's concentrated efforts to drive the marque further into the public's awareness. Which is a battle unto itself because a lot of people still aren't too sure what Infiniti does or, in fact, what it is. The good news for Infiniti is: they could do a lot worse than head for a busy 2017 with this great-looking coupe spearheading the charge.

Verdict

The Q60 2.0T GT is a great-looking vehicle. It has flair but it's not flashy; it's fun but it's not fantastic – which, for an entry-level coupe, is fine. But is 'fine' enough to help propel the Infiniti brand to a front and centre spot in the car-buying community's consciousness? That's anyone's guess, but for those chasing a coupe, without craving a high-level sporty drive, then you could do worse.

Would you buy a Q60 over a 4 Series or C-Class Coupe? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
