The Infiniti QX60 (formerly called the Infiniti JX from 2012 through 2013) is a seven-passenger mid-size luxury crossover SUV introduced by the Infiniti division of Japanese automaker Nissan in April 2012 in the United States as a 2013 model. A concept version debuted at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance event, while the production model was unveiled at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. It is underpinned by an elongated Nissan Murano platform.^[1] The QX60 is also the first three-row midsized crossover to be released by Infiniti. In 2012 Nissan announced that its mid-size SUV Pathfinder will also have the same platform as the QX60 for the 2013 model year.^[2] In keeping with Infiniti's new naming scheme for 2014, in which cars begin with Q and SUV's begin with QX, the JX was renamed "QX60." While the number previously denoted engine displacement (e.g., 35=3.5L engine), the new number, 60, is largely meaningless, although the higher numbers do correspond with larger and/or more expensive models.^{[citation needed]}
