Infiniti has quietly pulled the wraps off the 2026 QX60, and while it might look like a small update on the surface, there’s more going on here than meets the eye.
Infiniti seems determined to shed its “almost premium” image and push the QX60 deeper into true luxury territory. The SUV now wears a bolder face, offers more tech inside, and, perhaps most surprisingly, comes with an upgraded sound system that could make audiophiles do a double take.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new—and why this mid-size three-row SUV finally feels like it belongs in the big leagues.
Sharper Looks, Subtle Flex
Infiniti didn’t totally reinvent the QX60’s design, but the facelift does just enough to give it a more grown-up vibe. There’s a new grille and front bumper, with a larger, now illuminated Infiniti logo that’s hard to miss at night. The old shiny trim has been replaced with dark chrome, adding some welcome edge, and 20-inch wheels are now standard, which helps the SUV fill out its stance better.
Around the back, it’s cleaner too—no more fake exhausts, and the new Infiniti script looks much more upscale. Oh, and the Deep Emerald green paint? Drop-dead gorgeous in the sun.
Inside: Real Upgrades You Can Hear and Feel
This is where the real story is. Infiniti has added a standard digital instrument cluster, new interior trims, and a fresh stone gray color option. But the real show-stealer is the new Klipsch sound system.
It’s available in two versions: a 16-speaker setup and a premium 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere system in the Autobiography trim. The latter even lets the driver take a call while passengers continue listening to music—small detail, but a very cool touch.
No Extra Power, But a More Polished Drive
If you were hoping for more horsepower, sorry—the engine hasn’t changed. It’s still the 268-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four from the 2025 model. That said, Infiniti has made it smoother, with tweaks aimed at reducing engine noise and harshness.
Performance is solid: 0 to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. Not exactly thrilling, but it gets the job done. More importantly, it’s refined enough now to make you forget you're driving a family hauler.
New Sport Trim, Same Chill Vibe
Infiniti also added a new Sport trim—but don’t get too excited, it’s not a performance upgrade. Think of it more as an appearance package. It comes with a unique front bumper, darker trim, and a blue-and-black interior. It looks pretty slick—like last year’s Black Edition with a new name.
Conclusion
The 2026 Infiniti QX60 is shaping up to be a well-rounded, tech-savvy SUV that looks better, sounds incredible, and offers more luxury than ever—without dramatically changing what already works. It may not be the most talked-about luxury SUV, but with this update, it absolutely deserves a second look.
