Will there be an option to change the suspension for the Q60? Right now, the Q50 doesn't have it. BMW, Audi, and Lexus have this option with many of their vehicles, why not Infiniti.

Seems like a big oversight for Infiniti, since they have adaptive steering and smart shift control, yet no ability to change the suspension.

This is a good question. Are the BMW, Audi and Lexus vehicles that have this suspension technology in the same class as the Q50? Cause it seems like something offered on an Infiniti M type of vehicle and not something on the lower scale of things like the Q50.

Would be great if we get it

Just to clear things up. There are actually two kinds of active suspensions that automakers use. Pure active suspension and adaptive suspension/semi-active suspension. Pure active uses an actuator to literally raise and lower the chassis independently at each wheel, while adaptive suspensions only vary shock absorber firmness to match changing road or dynamic conditions. These systems also have a many names depending on the manufacturer. For example, Mercedes calls their active system, Active Body Control. BMW calls their active suspension, Active Roll Stabilization.

You can probably tell by the difference which requires more effort to build and is the more costly of the two.

Good point, there are different types.

To break it down into specific vehicles. I know the BMW 7 series has a hydraulic system that helps to keep the vehicle straight, if you were to park the car and trick the computer that it was in heavy steering you would see the car tilt side to side. But then there's vehicles like the Range Rover Evoque that has a suspension system which I think is much like the adaptive suspension that adjust every millisecond according to what exactly it's riding over.

The Pure active suspension I can see will most likely be offered with the higher end models like the M or Q70. That system does add some cost to the suspension. It a very complex system as well repairing something like that would be expensive when you have a suspension component like that be sure to have an extended warranty. But even for the semi active suspension it should have been offered on the Q60.
