The 2026 Infiniti QX60 is a stylish and well-equipped three-row luxury SUV that blends design flair with practicality, but it stops short of class-leading refinement. Infiniti hasn’t reinvented the midsize segment, but the updates for 2026 give the QX60 a fresh presence on the road and upgraded tech that’s hard to ignore. We drove the Autograph trim. The Sport is picture here.
Visually, the QX60 stands out with a newly sculpted front end, illuminated Infiniti emblem, refreshed grille and LED lighting that give it a more premium stance. Inside, the cabin feels upscale thanks to improved materials, dual 12.3-inch curved displays with Google Built-In, and available premium audio from Klipsch. Ambient lighting and optional semi-aniline leather with open-pore wood trim elevate the experience in higher trims like the Autograph. Second-row captain’s chairs are available, reducing seating to six but improving comfort for adults.
Under the hood, the QX60 uses a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder with 268 hp and a nine-speed automatic. While fuel economy is competitive (around 24 mpg combined) and towing capacity is a robust up to 6,000 lbs, acceleration and overall performance feel merely adequate compared to some rivals. Road manners are competent but not particularly engaging, and ride quality can feel firmer than expected for a luxury SUV.
Standard safety tech is comprehensive with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot intervention and more. Infiniti’s ProPILOT Assist enhances the highway driving experience, though it still trails the most advanced systems from rivals.
In sum, the 2026 QX60 excels in design, comfort and value, offering a lot of features for the money, but it’s not quite as refined or dynamically satisfying as some German and even some Japanese competitors. Buyers seeking an attractive, well-appointed three-row SUV will find much to like, though perfection remains just out of reach.
The 2026 Infiniti QX60 gets 3.5 Lambos.
