2026 Infiniti QX60 Borrows Tech From QX80, Adds Sport Trim

The looks are different too—but good luck spotting the changes.

Infiniti on Monday revealed the facelifted version of its mid-sized three-row QX60 SUV. The QX60 saw a significant update just last year when its naturally-aspirated V6 made way for a turbocharged four-cylinder. This year's changes don't mess with that sole powertrain, but do include (very) subtly tweaked styling, a whole lot of feature trickle-down from big-brother QX80, and the introduction of a Sport trim.

Don't go looking for new headlights or taillights here. Okay, the LED signature up front is now more segmented, and there are new exterior paint and wheel choices, including the excellent Deep Emerald pictured here. The QX80 influence is seen in the redone grille area: it's broadly similar in size, but now appears "floating" above a larger lower air intake. Infiniti has reworked the lower sills too, along with the rear bumper. Every model now rolls on large, 20-inch alloy wheels; the Pure previously had to make do with just 18-inchers. The Autograph trim continues to offer plenty of fanciness in the shape of semi-aniline leather all over and a new, real-wood dashboard inlay.

The Sport trim has its own fascia and wheel designs, with a liberal smattering of blacked-out trim pieces because of course. There's also an S badge on the liftgate to let folks know. Inside, a Dusk Blue color scheme adds a semblance of color; similarly, the exterior is available in monochrome black, white and gray, plus Grand Blue.

Infiniti has plucked many of the new features from the QX80 for QX60 duty, though some are understandably only available on higher trims. This includes ProPilot Assist 2.1, the brand's hands-off, semi-autonomous highway drive assist, which is standard on the Autograph trim. The 3D Around View monitor is available from the Luxe trim upward, which provides drivers with the ability to "see" around corners. While lower trims have pre-set viewing angles, the Autograph allows a full, custom spin-around.

The QX80 debuted Klipsch as an Infiniti audio partner, and the QX60 extends that partnership. Sport trim buyers net a 16-speaker, 600-watt setup, while the Sensory and Autograph bump the speaker count up to a full 20. The dual 12.3-inch screens also include Google Built-In.

We liked the QX60's blend of cabin comfort, ease of use, and affordability enough to place it ahead of the Lexus TX and Acura MDX last year. These changes should keep it fighting fit in the competitive three-row set.

The 2026 Infiniti QX60 will arrive at dealers this summer. Stay tuned for more trim and pricing details closer to launch.
