2026 Infiniti QX60: Inspired by the QX80 and Now Includes a New Sport Trim

After undergoing major mechanical changes for the 2025 model year, the 2026 Infiniti QX60 receives a series of cosmetic updates.

  • Infiniti has partially redesigned the QX60 for 2026.

  • A new Sport version has been added to the lineup.

  • The 2026 QX60 features a Klipsch audio system.


This spring, we visited the Nissan Technical Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan, for an exclusive preview of the 2026 Infiniti QX60 hosted by Anand Patel (Regional Product Manager) and James Mastronardi (Senior Manager of Vehicle Performance and Development, R&D).

Styling Elements Inspired by the Infiniti QX80

The 2026 QX60 has received a mild redesign, clearly drawing from the recently overhauled 2025 Infiniti QX80. The grille and bumper have been revised, and traditional chrome trim has been replaced with black chrome accents.

Every QX60 trim has 20-inch wheels, with styling that varies by version.

Two new colours are available for 2026: Deep Emerald Green and Silky Pro White.

Black Edition Replaced by Sport Trim

In 2025, Infiniti introduced a Black Edition of the QX60, which a new Sport version has now replaced. The main distinction is its blacked-out exterior accents. The 2026 QX60 Sport also features an exclusive dark blue and black interior and is marked by an “S” badge on the tailgate.

It’s worth noting that the Autograph trim tops the lineup and is only offered in a six-passenger configuration, featuring second-row captain’s chairs. Customers can choose from three interior colour options. Lower trims are available with a second-row bench seat, increasing capacity to seven passengers.

Inside, the infotainment system is run by a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while a second 12.3-inch display serves as the driver’s digital instrument cluster. A premium Klipsch audio system benefits all passengers.

6,000-Pound Towing Capacity

In 2025, Infiniti replaced the V6 engine with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, producing 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. No mechanical changes have been made for 2026. The QX60 continues to offer a towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds. The Sensory and Autograph trims have a tow hitch and seven-pin wiring harness.
