The 2026 INFINITI QX60 has arrived, reimagined with a striking new look, seamlessly integrated smart technology, and the debut of the first-ever SPORT grade. Set to hit retailers this summer in Nashville, Tenn., this luxury SUV blends bold styling, advanced features, and practical functionality to elevate every journey—whether it’s a daily commute or a weekend getaway. Here’s a deep dive into what makes the 2026 QX60 stand out.
A Powerful New Look Inspired by QX80 and Artistry in Motion
The 2026 QX60’s exterior design is a bold evolution, drawing inspiration from the 2025 INFINITI QX80 and the brand’s “Artistry in Motion” philosophy. This design language gives the QX60 a commanding presence, appearing lower, wider, and more dynamic on the road.
- Front Fascia: The new grille, inspired by the serene, intersecting shapes of a bamboo forest, features an illuminated three-dimensional INFINITI emblem. The lower bumper has been restyled for a “floating grille” effect, paired with daytime running lights (DRLs) segmented into a digital piano key design—echoing the QX80’s sophistication.
- Side Profile: A new lower door finisher enhances the vehicle’s horizontal stance, emphasizing its sleek proportions.
- Rear Design: Cleaner surfacing on the liftgate and lower-positioned chrome finishers give the QX60 a planted, muscular look.
- Color Options: A stunning new Deep Emerald paint, inspired by nature’s rich green hues and morning dew, joins a palette of 10 colors, including Black Obsidian, Moonbow Blue, and Radiant White. Select SPORT and AUTOGRAPH grades offer a two-tone treatment with a Black Obsidian roof.
For added drama, the AUTOGRAPH grade includes the INFINITI Light Path feature, projecting the INFINITI wordmark and geometric shapes onto the ground when unlocked in the dark—a striking welcome signature.
First-Ever SPORT Grade: A Statement-Making Appearance
The 2026 QX60 introduces its first-ever SPORT grade, designed for those who crave a dynamic, personalized look:
- Exterior Highlights: A uniquely designed front fascia with a sharpened grille mesh, gloss black 20-inch wheels, dark exterior accents, and an exclusive “S” badge on the liftgate set the SPORT grade apart.
- Interior Features: Inside, it offers second-row captain’s chairs, a Dusk Blue upholstery scheme with blue and black seating, and a black headliner for a tailored, sporty feel.
- Availability: Offered in Mineral Black, Grand Blue, Radiant White, or Graphite Shadow (the latter two with an optional Black Obsidian roof), the SPORT grade comes exclusively with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
This grade builds on the LUXE trim’s equipment, redefining bold for QX60 buyers.
Unparalleled Convenience with ProPILOT Assist 2.1
The 2026 QX60 is equipped with cutting-edge technology to simplify and enhance the driving experience. A standout feature is the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1, optional on the AUTOGRAPH grade:
- Hands-Off Driving: On compatible freeways, this system allows attentive drivers to take their hands off the wheel, with the vehicle handling acceleration, steering, and braking. The driver must remain ready to take control at any time.
- Intuitive Operation: Activated with a button press, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 makes long highway drives feel effortless.
Additional driver assistance features include the 3D Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection (standard on LUXE and higher grades), offering eight fixed views and a swipeable “spin” functionality on AUTOGRAPH models. The Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View further enhance visibility, helping drivers navigate tight spaces and spot obstacles like curbs or car wash tracks.
Segment-First Klipsch® Audio Systems with Individual Audio
For an indulgent, personalized entertainment experience, the 2026 QX60 introduces segment-first Klipsch® premium audio systems:
- LUXE and SPORT Grades: A 16-speaker system with 600 watts, featuring four 1-inch titanium dome tweeters, a 12-channel amplifier, and an 8-inch TriPower® subwoofer.
- AUTOGRAPH Grade: An immersive 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere system with a 24-channel amplifier.
- Individual Audio Technology: Exclusive to AUTOGRAPH, this feature lets the driver hear specific audio—like phone calls or navigation directions—without disturbing passengers, who can continue enjoying their music.
This audio innovation transforms the QX60 into a rolling concert hall, tailored to individual preferences.
Seamless Integration with Google Built-In
Staying connected is effortless with the QX60’s standard dual 12.3-inch displays and Google built-in:
- Navigation and Apps: Always-updated Google Maps provides efficient routing, while Google Play offers access to favorite apps directly on the dashboard.
- Voice Control: Google Assistant enables natural commands like, “Hey Google, turn on my heated seat,” or “Hey Google, navigate to my office,” enhancing convenience without taking your eyes off the road.
Additional Highlights
- Interior Comfort: The three-row cabin blends luxury and practicality, with new TailorFit® seating (65% recycled materials) on PURE and LUXE grades, and kimono-inspired stitching with open pore wood trim on AUTOGRAPH. Seating accommodates up to seven (or six with captain’s chairs on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH), with 75.4 cubic feet of cargo space when rows are folded.
- Powertrain: The advanced 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine delivers 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Refined for 2026, it offers improved sound quality and a best-in-class towing capacity of 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.
