2022-2025 Infiniti QX60 Brake Parts, Pads & Rotors

The QX60 was redesigned from the ground up for 2022, and the way it stops changed with it. This generation carries roughly 4,300 to 4,600 pounds before you load three rows of seats, and the 295-horsepower 3.5L V6 now runs through a nine-speed automatic instead of the old CVT. That matters at the brake pedal: the nine-speed downshifts and holds gears on grades, so the engine helps slow the vehicle in a way the CVT never did, but it also means the front brakes do most of the real work on this front-drive-biased platform. Add a 6,000-pound tow rating when properly equipped, standard ProPILOT Assist with stop-and-go traffic control, and an auto-hold function that clamps the brakes at every red light, and you get a crossover that applies its brakes far more often than the odometer suggests. School runs, suburban stoplights, and highway traffic jams are what wear a QX60 out, not spirited driving.

Common brake symptoms on the 2022-2025 Infiniti QX60

• A light metallic squeal that appears at low speed and disappears when you brake harder. That is usually the wear indicator tab touching the rotor face. It is a warning, not a failure, but you are inside the last few thousand miles of pad life.
• Pulsation through the pedal and a shimmy in the steering wheel at highway speeds. On a vehicle this heavy, this almost always traces to uneven friction transfer on the front rotors, often after towing or a long downhill run that cooked the pads.
• A soft or slowly sinking pedal. Look for air in the system or moisture-contaminated fluid. Brake fluid absorbs water over time, and the QX60's electronic brake system does not tolerate a boiling point that has dropped.
• Grinding or a deep scraping noise. Stop driving it. The friction material is gone and the pad backing plate is cutting the rotor, which turns a pad job into a pad-and-rotor job.
• The electronic parking brake refuses to release, or the dash flags a parking brake fault. The rear calipers use integrated electric actuators, and they must be put into service mode before the pistons can be retracted for a rear pad change.
• Heavy black dust on the front wheels within a week of cleaning. A sign the previous pads were a semi-metallic or low-grade compound rather than a proper ceramic.

Recommended brake parts for your 2022-2025 Infiniti QX60

Front ceramic pads for the daily driver

The 2022-2025 Infiniti QX60 Front Ceramic Brake Pads - Bendix at $72.99 are the straightforward answer when your rotors still measure within spec and you simply need quiet, clean stopping power back. Bendix ceramic friction is a good match for a luxury crossover that spends its life in traffic: low noise, very little visible wheel dust, and stable bite from cold on the first stop of the morning. This is the right choice for the commuter QX60 that never sees a trailer.

Rear rotor and pad kit for a complete axle refresh

The Rear Brake Rotors and Ceramic Brake Pads Kit for Infiniti FX35, Q50, Q60, Q70, Q70L and QX60 at $159.99 bundles both rear rotors and a matched ceramic pad set so the friction pair is bedded together from mile one. Choose this when the rears are scored, rusted at the edges, or pulsing, and especially if you tow or carry people and cargo regularly, since a fresh rotor surface restores the rear brakes' share of the work instead of dumping it all on the front axle.

How often should you replace 2022-2025 Infiniti QX60 brakes?

Front pads on this generation typically go 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Rear pads usually last longer, in the 40,000 to 70,000 range, though the electronic parking brake and auto-hold system can shorten that. Rotors often survive one pad change and get replaced on the second, but on this platform many owners replace rotors with pads because warped or rust-ridged surfaces are the usual reason the brakes started acting up in the first place.

What moves those numbers: towing near the 6,000-pound limit, hilly terrain, stop-and-go city commuting, a heavy right foot, road salt in northern winters, and how often ProPILOT Assist is doing the braking for you in traffic. A QX60 that tows a boat in Colorado may want front pads at 25,000 miles. A highway-commuter QX60 in a dry climate can pass 60,000. Also plan on a brake fluid flush roughly every three years regardless of mileage.
