Infiniti has officially unveiled the facelifted version of its QX60 luxury SUV for the 2026 model year, featuring notable design and technology updates—but it will cost buyers more than before. The new QX60 now starts at $51,200 (before a $1,350 destination fee), marking a $1,000 increase over the previous model, and is now available in US showrooms.
Exterior Design: More Modern and Elegant Identity
While the QX60 retains its familiar identity, the new model receives modern design touches, including a redesigned front grille with an illuminated Infiniti logo, “digital piano key” daytime running lights, and a new, simpler front bumper. Designers also added new wheels, a revised lower door treatment that gives the car a longer, more horizontal look, and a streamlined rear bumper with a redesigned tailgate that omits the traditional Infiniti badge.
New Option: Sport Trim
The standout addition for 2026 is the new QX60 Sport trim, which brings a bolder appearance with a mesh grille, glossy black front lip, 20-inch black wheels, black roof rails, and black side mirrors. Inside, the cabin features dark wood trim and black-and-blue TailorFit seats, with heated and ventilated front and rear seats, and second-row captain’s chairs with a removable center console.
Interior Upgrades: Luxury and Digital Intelligence
Inside, the QX60 receives a new 12.3-inch infotainment system integrated with Google services, allowing direct access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store from the screen. Buyers can also opt for a premium Klipsch audio system, as well as the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 semi-autonomous driving system, upgraded camera systems, and the new TailorFit upholstery, now standard on most trims.
Comfort and Standard Technology Features
The base Pure trim comes with LED headlights, a power liftgate, 20-inch wheels, acoustic windshield, panoramic sunroof, and rain-sensing wipers. The front seats are heated and power-adjustable in eight ways, with a heated leather steering wheel, wireless phone charger, tri-zone climate control, and a nine-speaker audio system.
Safety and Driver Assistance Systems
The 2026 QX60 boasts a wide range of standard safety features, including forward emergency braking, rear automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning and intervention, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist.
Trims and Pricing
The QX60 is available in several trims, with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (AWD):
The top Autograph trim features luxury leather seats with heating, ventilation, and massage for the front seats, a digital rearview mirror, illuminated door sills, a 10.8-inch head-up display, a 20-speaker Klipsch audio system, and upscale wood trim.
Engine and Performance
All 2026 QX60 trims are powered by a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine producing 268 hp (200 kW) and 386 Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on the trim.
Enhanced Driving Experience and Family Comfort
With these updates, Infiniti aims to reinforce the QX60’s position as a luxurious yet practical family SUV, with improvements in comfort, sound insulation, and digital technology, as well as more personalization options through the new trims. Despite the slight price increase, the QX60 remains a strong contender in the midsize luxury SUV segment, especially with its focus on interior quality, safety systems, and a refined driving experience.
