MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – Elevated with bold styling, indulgent comfort features, and seamlessly integrated technologies, the 2026 INFINITI QX60 is crafted to make every journey—from daily commutes to well-deserved vacations—effortless. With a thoughtfully reimagined design inspired by Artistry in Motion styling themes of the 2025 QX80, it boasts a more distinctive presence and advanced features that simplify and elevate everyday life.
Inside and out, the new QX60 offers finely crafted details and sophistication that complements clients' lifestyles. With three rows of seats and a spacious cargo compartment, QX60 artfully blends form and function. Its new available technologies, including advanced camera systems that operate at the touch of a button and a new hands-off driver-assistance function, intuitively assist in simplifying driving. Meanwhile, an immersive, segment-first new audio system from legendary 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 luxurious yet practical QX60 is a core part of the INFINITI lineup, and this refreshed 2026 model is a continuation of our product renaissance that will propel INFINITI toward its future vision," said Tiago Castro, vice president, INFINITI Americas. "The 2026 INFINITI QX60 enables drivers to embrace more of what they love. With a strikingly refreshed design that reflects bold style, innovative technologies that simplify life, and effortless functionality to accommodate friends, family, and beyond, it's designed for a life well-lived."
The 2026 INFINITI QX60 will reach retailers this summer, with pricing to be announced closer to the on-sale date.
Sophisticated, evolved design
Designers shaped the 2026 INFINITI QX60 to give it an increased sense of mass and presence, making it appear lower and wider while incorporating the latest INFINITI styling cues from QX80. From the front, those changes begin with a new grille that incorporates Artistry in Motion design themes and is inspired by the intersection 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, while the daytime running lights (DRLs) have been segmented into smaller elements that recall the digital piano key style incorporated on QX80.
These themes carry over to the bodysides, where the lower doors of QX60 are restyled to give the vehicle a longer, more horizontal appearance. From behind, QX60 appears lower and wider, with cleaner surfacing on the liftgate and rear fascia. For example, body colour paintwork extends lower on the bumper area, with chrome finishers and reflectors also moved lower. With standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive2 across all trims, a new “AWD” badge inspired by Japanese hanko stamps is present.
Additional drama comes courtesy of the new INFINITI Light Path feature on the AUTOGRAPH grade. It forms the culmination of a stunning welcome signature when the vehicle is unlocked in the dark: The INFINITI emblem illuminates, followed by individual elements in the DRLs, continuing from the centre of the vehicle outward. Finally, the INFINITI Light Path projects the INFINITI wordmark and wing-like geometric shapes on the ground at either side of the vehicle.
INFINITI QX60 makes an impression with its newly available Deep Emerald paint, a colour inspired by the rich green hues of nature and the morning dew. It is one of nine colours offered for QX60, including Black Obsidian, Grand Blue, Graphite Shadow, Harbor Gray, Mineral Black, Moonbow Blue, Radiant White and Warm Titanium. Most AUTOGRAPH colours are paired with a two-tone treatment featuring a Black Obsidian roof and upper body. Additionally, AUTOGRAPH is offered with a new combination of Graphite Shadow and Mineral Black, referencing a similar design scheme on the all-new 2025 QX80.
The 20-inch wheels on AUTOGRAPH grade have been redesigned with a sculptural double-wing shaping and are dark gray with machined surfaces topped by a tinted clearcoat that adds visual depth. Similarly, LUXE features new 20-inch wheels with a five-spoke design with additional machined elements incorporated to add sophistication.
Within the interior, a new Stone Gray upholstery scheme is offered for the first time, complementing the available Graphite and Saddle Brown options. The LUXE grade features silver metallic weave, SPORT grade boasts black open pore ash wood while AUTOGRAPH boasts black open pore ash wood with a metal inlay.
Redefining bold with a new SPORT grade
The 2026 INFINITI QX60 takes its boldest turn yet with the introduction of the model's first SPORT grade. Crafted to give the vehicle its most dynamic appearance to date, QX60 SPORT wears a uniquely designed front fascia with a strikingly sharpened grille mesh – adding additional drama compared to the grille on other grades. SPORT also features unique, gloss black 20-inch wheels and dark exterior accents, including a new lower front bumper protector, and a unique "S" badge on the liftgate. The inside of QX60 SPORT has a more personal, tailored feel, with standard seven passenger seating, a Dusk Blue upholstery scheme with combination blue and black seating, and a black headliner.
QX60 SPORT is offered in Mineral Black, Grand Blue, Radiant White or Graphite Shadow paint and builds on the high level of equipment featured in QX60 LUXE. In addition, two colours are available with a Black Obsidian Roof: Radiant White and Graphite Shadow.
Technology that fits into every journey
Building on INFINITI's multi-decade spirit of innovation, the 2026 QX60 adds several driver assistance features that aim to simplify and streamline the daily drive and weekend road trip alike. ProPILOT Assist 2.1 elevates highway driving by allowing attentive drivers to take their hands off the wheel in certain highway driving scenarios. On compatible highways, drivers can press a button to have ProPILOT Assist 2.1 handle acceleration, steering and braking – while the driver pays attention and remains ready to take over at any time. The system is standard on AUTOGRAPH grade.
Also new is standard 3D Around View® Monitor with Fixed Views and Moving Object Detection3. It provides a more convenient way to spot obstacles when parking, building on INFINITI's well-known, top-down Around View Monitor with eight fixed views from “around” the vehicle, giving a more all-encompassing vantage point of QX60's surroundings. On the AUTOGRAPH grade, the system is upgraded with a “spin” functionality allowing the driver to swipe the viewpoint all around QX60.
The 3D Around View® Monitor with Fixed Views system includes Front Wide View4. It provides a wide-angle view to the front and sides of the vehicle, ideally suited for seeing past obstacles in a garage or parked cars for a less obstructed view. Also new for QX60 is Invisible Hood View5, which uses advanced image processing to take footage from the vehicle's exterior cameras to project an image of what's directly underneath the vehicle onto the in-car displays. The result is as if one could see right through the engine bay, helping spot curbs in narrow drive-through lanes, car wash tracks and myriad other hard-to-spot obstacles on the ground.
A more seamless way to stay connected
The 2026 QX60 makes staying entertained, informed and connected more seamless. It features dual 12.3-inch displays as standard on all grades – one for the reconfigurable instrument cluster, one for the infotainment system. The center display adds Google built-in6, with always-updated Google Maps for simple and efficient navigation, plus the ability to download many other favourite apps on Google Play7. Google Assistant further makes everyday interactions easier, allowing for natural-language requests like, "Hey Google, turn on my heated seat," or, "Hey Google, navigate to my office."
Luxury clients desire crisp, bold and true-to-life audio, and so the 2026 QX60 is the latest INFINITI model to introduce Klipsch® premium audio systems. On SPORT grades, the segment-first system features 16 speakers, including four 1-inch titanium dome tweeters, a 12-channel amplifier with 600 watts of power and an 8-inch TriPower® subwoofer. AUTOGRAPH grade offers an even more immersive Klipsch® Reference Premiere system with 20 speakers and a 24-channel amplifier.
AUTOGRAPH grade adds the innovative Individual Audio technology first seen on QX80. Individual Audio allows the driver to hear only certain audio elements – such as navigation directions, music or phone calls – from their seat. For example, the driver can make a phone call while passengers continue listening to music, or the driver could listen to a favourite playlist and hear map guidance without disturbing those sleeping in the rear seats.
Functionality and finely crafted interior
The three-row cabin of the 2026 INFINITI QX60 seamlessly blends craftsmanship with practical features. In AUTOGRAPH grade, it is offered with kimono-inspired ripple stitching and perforation on the semi-aniline seating (first and second rows only), and a new dashboard trim with open pore wood featuring a laser-etched metal inlay. Interior design is inspired by the Japanese concept of Shibui, or the elegance of simplicity. For 2026, the LUXE and SPORT grades add TailorFit™ seating. The material is composed of 65% recycled materials and is more durable and softer to the touch than traditional imitation leather.
Standard on LUXE andSPORT grades, the QX60 comes with a second-row bench accommodating up to seven passengers while the AUTOGRAPH grade features captain's chairs in the second row for seating up to six8.
Advanced, responsive powertrain
INFINITI's long-standing approach to technical innovation is evident under the hood with QX60's advanced Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engine. The VC-Turbo was the world's first production variable compression powertrain9, and was named to Wards 10 Best Engines list upon its introduction in 2018. In QX60, the 2.0-liter boasts 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. It is tuned to deliver plentiful torque in the low-to-mid rpm ranges where drivers most often demand responsive acceleration. The engine's tuning results in smooth, controllable power delivery that provides confidence for passing. For 2026, INFINITI engineers updated the engine based on client feedback. These changes help enhance sound quality in city, back roads and hilly conditions where more spirited driving occurs.
The engine is coupled to a 9-speed automatic transmission with standard paddle shifters. It is tuned for quick, smooth shifts and responsive performance, with multiple drive modes allowing the driver to tailor the powertrain’s performance to their preferences. QX60 has a best-in-class towing rating of 6,000 pounds when properly equipped10. To facilitate trailering, AUTOGRAPH grade features a tow hitch with 7-pin connector and Trailer Sway Control software.
