2026 Infiniti QX60 has a striking new look and Sport trim

Infiniti’s QX60 Autograph AWD mid-size luxury SUV has received elevated, bold new styling for the 2026 model year, creating a striking, sophisticated look that melds with indulgent comfort features and seamlessly integrated smart technology.
QX60 features three rows of seating that accommodates up to six or seven adults. When needed, third, and even second-row seats fold flat to reveal a cavernous cargo area. Mine came with optional second-row captain’s chairs that limited seating to six.
Exterior changes are highlighted by an increased sense of mass and presence, making it appear lower and wider while incorporating the latest styling cues from QX80. From the front, those changes begin with a new grille inspired by the intersecting shapes of a serene bamboo forest. The new, three-dimensional Infiniti emblem is now illuminated. The lower bumper has been restyled so that the grille almost appears to be floating.
“The luxurious yet practical QX60 is a core part of the Infiniti lineup, and this refreshed 2026 model is a continuation of our product renaissance, said Tiago Castro, vice president, Infiniti Americas. “ It simplifies life with effortless functionality to accommodate friends, family and beyond; it’s designed for a life well-lived.”

My tester was powered by a 2.0-liter, compression turbo engine that delivers up to 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. It provides up to 27 miles per gallon fuel economy in combined city/highway driving.
During a recent road trip with the in-laws that incorporated Bay View near Anacortes, Edison, Bow, Chuckanut Drive near Bellingham and the foothills to the east, covering almost 200 miles, the QX60 shined.
Top of the list observations were the sublimely quiet interior that sheltered us from road noise, and the posh suspension that made cruising at 35 miles per hour feel like you were barely moving. The senior passengers commented on the bright cabin (thanks in part of a panoramic moonroof), and the comfortable seating that feature heating and cooling, both front and back.
The driver was more focused on the vehicles new technologies, including advanced camera systems that operate at the touch of a button and hands-off driver-assistance function, intuitively assist in simplifying driving. Meanwhile, an immersive, segment-first new audio system from legendary American manufacturer Klipsch turns QX60 into a rolling concert hall – complete with the ability to focus phone call audio purely on the driver’s seat while passengers keep listening to the music.
The top-tier Autograph trim features standard AWD, quilted semi-aniline leather seats, massaging front seats, the aforementioned 20-speaker Klipsch audio system, and a 10.8-in head-up display that allows the driver to keeps eyes on the road. Connectivity includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, phone charging and a 12.3-inch touchscreen that displays navigation and a whole lot more.
Infiniti’s QX60 is an IIHE Top Safety Pick, with key standard features including forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and rear automatic braking. Other features include ProPilot Assist, a 3D Around View Monitor and a Smart Rearview Mirror.
