First Look at the 2026 INFINITI QX60
Redefining Modern Luxury Through Bold Design, Seamless Technology, and Refined Utility
The all-new 2026 INFINITI QX60 continues INFINITI’s product renaissance by bringing together sculptural elegance, advanced driver-focused technology, and surprising practicality in one three-row luxury SUV. With styling language that echoes the bolder 2025 QX80 and new features across the board, this update elevates the QX60 from premium crossover to design-led flagship.
A Sculpted Statement of Intent
INFINITI’s evolving design language, Artistry in Motion, informs every line of the 2026 QX60. The front fascia introduces a more architectural grille, modeled after intersecting bamboo, flanked by slim, segmented DRLs resembling digital piano keys. A new three-dimensional INFINITI emblem now lights up as part of the animated welcome sequence.
On the flanks, cleaner body surfacing and a new lower door finisher provide a more horizontal emphasis, visually elongating the vehicle. At the rear, a smoother liftgate and relocated chrome accents give the QX60 a grounded, more muscular stance. A striking INFINITI Light Path feature on the AUTOGRAPH grade completes the light show, projecting the wordmark and wing-like motifs onto the pavement.
A new Deep Emerald exterior joins a palette of ten available colors, including Moonbow Blue and Radiant White. Select trims also feature a two-tone treatment with a contrasting Black Obsidian roof, nodding to the QX80’s upscale sensibility.
Inside: Refined Versatility
The cabin carries over the sense of tailored elegance, with new Stone Gray upholstery and recycled-material TailorFit® seating available in PURE and LUXE grades. AUTOGRAPH models receive semi-aniline leather with kimono-inspired ripple stitching, open-pore ash wood with etched metal inlay, and second-row captain’s chairs for a premium six-seat layout.
Cargo flexibility remains strong with up to 75.4 cubic feet of space and effortless folding second and third rows. Seating for seven is standard on most trims, with SPORT and AUTOGRAPH offering a more exclusive six-passenger configuration.
QX60 SPORT: Athleticism Redefined
For the first time, the QX60 introduces a dedicated SPORT grade, complete with:
- A sharper grille mesh and darkened exterior accents
- Unique 20-inch gloss black wheels
- Second-row captain’s chairs
- Exclusive Dusk Blue interior with black headliner
Paired exclusively with Intelligent AWD, this model fuses assertive style with premium performance.
Sound and Vision: Technology Meets Artistry
QX60 debuts a segment-first Klipsch® audio system, with 16 speakers standard on LUXE and SPORT, and a 20-speaker Reference Premiere system on AUTOGRAPH. Individual Audio lets the driver isolate calls or navigation prompts without disturbing passengers.
Dual 12.3-inch displays run the latest Google Built-in platform, with Google Maps, Assistant, and Play Store access. Voice commands like “Hey Google, warm the cabin” seamlessly bridge analog behavior with digital convenience.
ProPILOT Assist 2.1 & Invisible Views
The 2026 QX60 expands its tech credentials with:
- ProPILOT Assist 2.1: hands-off adaptive cruise for certain freeway conditions
- 3D Around View Monitor: 8-view camera system with optional “spin” capability
- Invisible Hood View: projects an augmented image of the ground beneath the engine
VC-Turbo Power & All-Season Utility
Under the hood is a revised 2.0L Variable Compression Turbo engine (268 hp / 286 lb-ft), mated to a 9-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The VC-Turbo optimizes combustion for both power and efficiency, delivering:
- 24 mpg combined (FWD & AWD variants)
- 6,000 lb towing capacity, with included hitch and sway control on AUTOGRAPH
Drive modes and improved engine sound tuning help adapt the QX60’s refined character to more spirited or relaxed environments.
The Takeaway: Design-Driven Evolution
INFINITI is clearly positioning the QX60 not just as a practical premium SUV, but as a styling showcase, a technology flagship, and an audio lover’s sanctuary. With standout touches like the Klipsch Reference system, bamboo-inspired design elements, and visual drama worthy of a concept car, the 2026 QX60 looks to compete at the top of the mid-size luxury segment.
Pricing will be announced later this summer, but all indications suggest INFINITI has refined its core SUV with a keen understanding of what modern luxury customers expect: smart innovation, bold aesthetics, and effortless functionality.
