The QX60 has been Infiniti’s bestselling three-row crossover since the second generation debuted for 2022. It’s a family-focused luxury midsize SUV with a polished interior, good tech, and many creature comforts, all at a relatively affordable price. But it falls short in powertrain refinement and third-row space.
Base Price: $66,150
As Tested: $73,685
Horsepower: 268
Mileage: 22 mpg city/27 mpg highway/24 mpg combined
The QX60 shares its platform with the Nissan Pathfinder, but has many more upscale features.
For 2026, the QX60 gets refreshed exterior styling inspired by the larger QX80, including a broader grille with vertical elements, a new illuminated Infiniti emblem, and segmented “piano key” LED daytime running lights. All trims now ride on standard 20‑inch wheels. Infiniti also drops the former Sensory trim and adds a new Sport trim slotted in between Luxe and Autograph.
The 2026 QX60 comes in four trims: Pure, Luxe, Sport and Autograph. Starting prices range from $51,200 to $66,150. Front-wheel drive is standard on the Pure and Luxe trims, and all-wheel drive is available for an additional $2,000. AWD is standard on the two upper trims.
There’s room for six or seven passengers in two rows of seating, depending on the trim. The two lower trims come standard with a bench seat in the second row, while the two upper trims get captains’ chairs.
All trims get a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine that makes 268 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Performance is adequate but underwhelming. Some turbo lag is noticeable when accelerating, and power for merging and passing is just ok. The engine can get loud when you want to accelerate quickly. Steering is light with little feedback. The ride is mostly smooth but can be jittery over rough pavement. Where the QX60 shines is cruising on the highway with good isolation from wind and road noise. Like a number of luxury SUVs, the QX60 prioritizes comfort over athletic performance.
When properly equipped, the QX60 can tow up to 6,000 pounds, which is competitive for the class.
Fuel economy is respectable for a luxury midsize SUV. EPA ratings for AWD trims are 22 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and a combined rating of 24. I got 23 mpg during my week with a mix of city and highway driving. Models with front-wheel drive get 22 mpg city, 28 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined. Premium fuel is required.
The best feature of the QX60 is its interior. Materials are top notch, with soft-touch surfaces across the dash and doors, attractive synthetic leather on lower trims, and quilted semi-aniline leather on Autograph models. The dash looks modern with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen.
Seats in the first two rows are comfortable and supportive, with good leg- and headroom. However, the third row is a different story. It’s cramped and really only suitable for smaller kids. Families who need room for six or seven passengers may find that the QX60 just doesn’t have enough room.
Standard features include an intelligent key, push-button start, rearview camera, tri-zone automatic climate control, synthetic leather seating, eight-way power driver’s and front passenger’s seats with four-way power lumbar, dual occupant memory system for driver’s seat, heated front seats, heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, infotainment system with 12.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in with Google Maps, nine-speaker audio system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, five USB Type-C ports, wireless charging pad, voice recognition, Wi-Fi hotspot,
LED headlights with automatic high-beam, adaptive headlights with auto-leveling function, rain-sending front windshield wipers, and a panoramic moonroof.
Available features include surround-view camera system, head-up display, smart rear view mirror, quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats with contrast stitching and piping, cooled front seats, massaging front seats, heated outboard second-row seats, Klipsch 16-speaker premium audio system, Klipsch 20-speaker Premiere audio system,
Homelink universal garage door opener, 120V power outlet, and roof rails.
Standard driver assistance technologies include forward and reverse collision warning,
forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert,
rear parking sensors, and rear-seat alert.
Available driver assistance technologies include ProPilot Assist 2.1 (Infiniti’s hands-free adaptive cruise control with lane centering that works on certain highways), front parking sensors, and driver attention monitoring.
The infotainment system looks modern with its 12.3-inch touchscreen. The system responds quickly to inputs and voice commands. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard. Google Built In provides native Google Maps, Assistant, and Play Store access.
Cargo space is less than many rivals. There are 14.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 41.6 cubes with the third row folded, and 75.4 cubes with the second and third rows folded. There’s a handy under-floor storage area which is great for keeping smaller items out of sight. A power liftgate is standard and a hands-free power liftgate is available.
The good:
Well-equipped with good value for the price
Upscale, comfortable and quiet cabin
Respectable fuel economy
Long list of standard and available features and tech
Good infotainment and audio systems
Standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Competitive towing capacity
The not-so-good:
Underwhelming performance
Premium fuel is required
Ride can be jittery on rough roads
Tight third row
Less cargo space than some rivals
Pricing info:
My Autograph tester starts at $66,150. The Technology Package is $3,150 and includes ProPilot Assist 2.1, 3D Around View Monitor with spin capability, and fixed second row center console. The Panoramic illuminated headliner is $535. Infiniti radiant dark illuminated cargo scuff plates are $455. Premium paint is $1,900. The destination charge is $1,495, bringing the grand total to $73,685.
Bottom line:
The 2026 Infiniti QX60 is a stylish, comfortable and reasonably priced luxury family hauler and will appeal to those who want an upscale cabin and calm driving experience. No doubt the updated QX60 will continue to be the best seller for Infiniti. However, those wanting more robust performance and/or more room in the third row and cargo area may want to look elsewhere.
