Previously an afterthought in its segment, the completely redesigned 2022 Infiniti QX60 is a large luxury SUV now worth considering. It's far more stylish on the outside, and it's combined with a more luxurious interior with great standard technology and convenience features. It drives much better thanks to a new transmission and sharper suspension tuning. It all adds up to a real competitor.

That doesn't mean it's a class-leader, but it's well matched to similarly priced options from Acura, Lincoln, Cadillac, Volvo, Jeep and Hyundai. In fact, with a base price of just over $47,000, it's cheaper than many of the luxury-branded alternatives, and very competitive with the high-end options of mainstream brands.

Its one real weakness is a lack of powertrain options. Many vehicles in this segment have at least a couple engines to choose from, including hybrid options. Infiniti offers only a single V6 option. But the affordable price point, spacious and well-appointed interior, and good driving dynamics nevertheless make it a luxury SUV you should check out.

The Infiniti QX60 is completely redesigned for 2022. You can read more about the changes in our first drive review.

Some of the biggest improvements to the QX60 are inside. The dash has a low and wide lower plane that feels modern and airy. The air vents are hidden in one wide opening in this zone, and various surfaces feature stitched upholstery. Base models feature gloss black trim, with upper trims getting aluminum or natural finish wood trim. The top Autograph trim, which is pictured in this review, combines that lovely wood trim with unique-looking quilted leather on top of the dash.

All QX60s feature a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It runs basically the same infotainment suite that you find on Nissans, and that's a good thing. It features large, easy-to-find and easy-to-press icons. It all runs quickly and smoothly and is responsive to taps. We also appreciate that climate and audio controls have dedicated controls below the air vents. The volume and climate knobs are particularly appreciated, though the touch-sensitive buttons are less so. The base model QX60 also has analog gauges with a 7-inch information screen nestled between them. All other trims get a 12.3-inch instrument screen. Either option is clear and easy to read.

The QX60 is a large three-row SUV comparable to the Acura MDX, Lincoln Aviator, Cadillac XT6, Hyundai Palisade and Jeep Grand Cherokee L, among others. It's available with two seating configurations. The base configuration has seating for seven thanks to a second-row bench seat. The top-trim Autograph gets second-row captain's chairs, reducing seating capacity to six. In our time in the QX60, we found it to be very roomy in both the front and second rows, which feature comfortable and supportive cushioning. The second-row seats have a clever tilt function that makes third-row access easier than most, and they can tilt without requiring removal of a child's car seat that may be in place. The third row is tighter for adults than it is in the Palisade, Grand Cherokee and Aviator, though.

As for cargo space, the QX60 has 14.5 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which is on the small side for a three-row crossover. There is then 41.6 cubic feet behind the second and 75.4 cubic feet with both rows folded.

The QX60 is only available with one engine and transmission: a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 good for 295 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque coupled to a nine-speed automatic. This replaces the previous model's CVT. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available, which affects both the number of drive wheels as well as fuel economy. The front-drive model is more frugal with 21 mpg in the city, 26 on the highway and 23 combined. All-wheel drive saps 1 mpg from all those numbers for 20 mpg city, 25 highway and 22 combined. Additionally, the new automatic transmission has improved maximum towing capacity to 6,000 pounds. That's 1,000 more than both the previous model and most competitors (at least).

Whereas its predecessor was overly soft and lazy, the new QX60 is a highly competent luxury SUV. The V6, although nothing new, is still very smooth and quiet. It makes good power. The nine-speed automatic is also very smooth, and its fixed gear ratios and faster responses make it a monumental improvement over the old slushy CVT that was out of place in a luxury vehicle. The nine-speed has moments where it's sometimes jumpy, usually from a standstill, but on the whole, it's a well-tuned transmission.

The QX60 also rides very smoothly and steadily. Its slightly firmer suspension tuning compared to before keeps it from feeling wallowy and floaty. It also has benefits from handling with limited body roll and surprisingly good steering. It's not completely numb and it turns in confidently. Add in the stylish, well-built and incredibly quiet interior, and the QX60 is a lovely blend of comfort and responsiveness.

The Pure trim level is the entry point to the QX60 range, and it starts at $47,875 with standard front-wheel drive. On the outside, it comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights and heated mirrors. Inside, it features a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, eight-way power heated front seats with adjustable lumbar, a heated leather steering wheel and three-zone automatic climate control. Technology features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, analog gauges with a 7-inch info screen, a nine-speaker sound system conventional cruise control, and proximity entry with push-button start.

Noteworthy features on higher trims or available as options include a 12.3-inch instrument display, a 10.8-inch head-up display, a camera-based rearview display, wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control with lane-centering steering assist, power adjustable steering wheel, additional interior air filtration, higher-grade leather, heated rear seats, heated and cooled front seats with massage, wood trim, and 20-inch wheels. All-wheel drive is an option on all trims and generally adds $2,000 to the price, except on the Autograph trim, where it costs $2,900 due to the added inclusion of a tow package. Starting prices for all trims are listed below and include the $1,025 destination charge.

• Pure: $47,875
• Luxe: $53,925
• Sensory: $57,375
• Autograph: $62,375

The Infiniti QX60 has been rated by IIHS based on its Nissan-branded sibling, the Pathfinder, however it hasn't been rated by NHTSA. It received the best possible "Good" score for all crash tests, while the automatic emergency braking system received the highest "Superior" rating. It been tested for headlight performance at the time of this writing, and as such is not yet eligible for an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating.

Standard safety features include the aforementioned automatic braking system along with rear automatic emergency braking (a rare feature), blind-spot and lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic warning, rear parking sensors and automatic wipers. Higher trims add front parking sensors, driver inattention warning, lane-keeping assist, surround-view cameras and blind-spot intervention assist. The Sensory and Autograph trims get pre-crash seatbelt tensioners, and the Autograph has an exclusive center airbag between the front seats.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 makes a bold play for families seeking a refined and elegant three-row crossover with the addition of a Black Edition package, a more fuel-efficient engine and additional equipment on the popular LUXE grade. The 2025 Infiniti QX60 arrives in showrooms mid-July 2024 with a starting MSRP of $50,200.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 offers buyers a choice of four appealing grades, each of which can be optionally equipped with Infiniti Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (standard on AUTOGRAPH). For added reassurance, every QX60 features a standard suite of active safety technology including Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist.

New for this model year, all QX60 grades now feature a new key fob design with approach unlock and walkaway locking functionality. When enabled, this feature automatically locks or unlocks the vehicle, as appropriate, by detecting when someone with the key fob walks up to or away from the QX60.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 PURE starts at $50,200 ($52,200 with AWD) and includes a generous list of equipment including leather-appointed first- and second-row seating, heated front seats, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control and Infiniti InTouch™ featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Android Auto™, wireless Apple CarPlay®, SiriusXM® Radio and nine speakers.

Stepping up to the QX60 LUXE grade ($56,800 or $58,800 with AWD) augments the model's appeal with the addition of 20-inch wheels, a 12.3-inch Infiniti Dynamic Meter Display, remote engine start, ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row seats and more. A Bose® Performance series 17-speaker sound system is newly standard on LUXE grade.

For an additional $1,900, LUXE can be equipped with the new Black Edition package. It enhances QX60's appearance with gloss black 20-inch wheels, plus gloss black roof rails, grille surround and exterior emblems. An illuminated Infiniti emblem in the front grille is surrounded by bright chrome trim, complementing illuminated kickplates and Welcome Lighting. A black headliner completes the Black Edition treatment on the inside of the cabin; on the outside, clients select from Mineral Black, Majestic White or new-for-2025 Harbor Gray paint.

The 2025 Infiniti QX60 SENSORY starts at $59,100 ($61,100 with AWD) and builds on the well-equipped LUXE grade with the addition of massaging front seats, illuminated kickplates, a motion-activated liftgate, open pore ash wood-appointed interior trim and enhanced interior ambient lighting.

As the ultimate expression of the QX60, the AUTOGRAPH grade ($66,150, exclusively with AWD) delights with semi-aniline leather-appointed seating for the first and second rows, with quilting, perforation and contrast stitching. It features second-row captain's chairs as standard, plus a head-up display and a Smart Rear View Mirror that provides a less-obstructed view behind the vehicle. To prepare for clients who desire to tow, QX60 AUTOGRAPH is additionally equipped with a trailer hitch receiver and harness. All grades of the 2025 QX60 have a towing rating of up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.

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 American 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."

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 intersecting 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 all QX60 grades now feature a lower door finisher that helps 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 color paintwork extends lower on the bumper area, with chrome finishers and reflectors also moved lower. On models equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, 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 center 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 color inspired by the rich green hues of nature and the morning dew. It is one of 10 colors offered for QX60, including Black Obsidian, Deep Bordeaux, Grand Blue, Graphite Shadow, Harbor Gray, Mineral Black, Moonbow Blue, Radiant White and Warm Titanium. Select SPORT colors and all AUTOGRAPH colors 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.

On PURE grade, 20-inch wheels are now standard, replacing 18-inch wheels from 2025. 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 PURE and LUXE grades feature silver metallic weave, while SPORT and AUTOGRAPH boast 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 second-row captain's chairs, 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; the latter two are also available with a contrasting Black Obsidian roof. It is equipped exclusively with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and builds on the high level of equipment featured in QX60 LUXE.

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 freeway driving by allowing attentive drivers to take their hands off the wheel in certain freeway driving scenarios. On compatible freeways, 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 optional on AUTOGRAPH grade.

Also new is 3D Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, which is equipped on LUXE grade and higher. 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. When equipped with the AUTOGRAPH Technology Package, the system is upgraded with a "spin" functionality allowing the driver to swipe the viewpoint all around QX60.

The 3D Around View Monitor system includes Front Wide View. 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 View, 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-in, with always-updated Google Maps for simple and efficient navigation, plus the ability to download many other favorite apps on Google Play. 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 LUXE and 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 favorite playlist and hear map guidance without disturbing those sleeping in the rear seats.

Functional 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, 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 PURE and LUXE 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.

The QX60 comes with a standard second-row bench, accommodating up to seven passengers. QX60 SPORT and AUTOGRAPH grades feature second-row captain's chairs, with seating for up to six. The luggage area holds up to 75.4 cubic feet of cargo when the second and third rows are lowered.

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 powertrain, 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 driving, 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 equipped. To facilitate trailering, AUTOGRAPH grade features a tow hitch with 7-pin connector and Trailer Sway Control software.

The VC-Turbo's ability to seamlessly vary its compression ratio allows an outstanding balance of performance and fuel efficiency. QX60 models with front-wheel drive are estimated to return 22 mpg city, 28 mpg highway and 24 mpg combine, while models with available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive are estimated to deliver 22 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined.
