2026 Infiniti QX60: Updated Styling

The QX60's look doesn't depart dramatically from its predecessors, though new front and rear bumpers and redesigned aluminum alloy wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter help it stand out from last year's model.

The top Autograph trim now features a script badge on the rearmost roof pillars, while all models equipped with the available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system have a stacked AWD badge on the tailgate that Infiniti says was inspired by the hanko signature stamps commonly used in Japan.

Ten paint colors are available, and select configurations can be outfitted with a contrasting black or gray roof.

Inside, the cabin sees only a few visual tweaks, and the interior can be finished in saddle brown, black, black and blue, or a new-for-2026 gray. Synthetic leather is standard, while semi-aniline leather hides are included in the Autobiography trim.

2026 Infiniti QX60: Technology and Trim Levels

The QX60 comes in four trim levels for 2026: Pure, Luxe, Sport, and Autobiography. Last year's Sensory trim has been replaced in the hierarchy by the new Sport trim, which features a different mesh-like grille, dark-chrome exterior accents, and a leather-trimmed cabin in black and blue.

All trims have a 12.3-inch touchscreen mounted high on the dash, which runs Google built-in infotainment software that provides access to the Google Play store and includes integrated Google Maps. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality is also included. That screen sends audio to a 16-speaker Klipsch sound system in the Luxe and Sport trims. The top Autobiography has a pair of Klipsch speakers integrated into each front headrest, bringing its speaker count to 20.

Luxe, Sport, and Autobiography trims are also equipped with a 360-degree camera that stitches together data from various points to provide a simulated view of what's underneath the vehicle for, say, close-in parking situations.

All models have three rows of seats. Sport and Autograph versions have second-row captain's chairs, while the Pure and Luxe trims come with a three-seat second-row bench.

Every QX60 is also equipped with a full suite of driver-assistance tech, but only the Autograph trim offers an optional system that allows for true hands-off, eyes-on-the-road driving at highway speeds.

2026 Infiniti QX60: Performance

All QX60 models use a largely carried-over turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which makes 268 horsepower through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and AWD is optional. The QX60 is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds when fitted with the available trailer hitch.

Infiniti figures that the 2026 model will boast the same 24 mpg combined city and highway fuel-economy estimate, regardless of drive wheels, as the 2025 model.

Andrew has been hooked on cars since his mother coaxed him into naps by driving him around in her rattly old diesel Mercedes-Benz. Perhaps it was the diesel fumes that lulled him to sleep. Either way, he has since parlayed his automotive enthusiasm into a decades-long career as a journalist writing for such well-known sites as Auto Express, Autoblog, Car and Driver, Leftlane News, Motor1, Motor Authority, and The Car Connection, not to mention numerous classic-car publications. When he's not researching cars, he's probably working on one — though he has yet to own a diesel Mercedes. Off to the classifieds he goes.
