2026 Infiniti QX60 | POV Test Drive

2026 Infiniti QX60 Autograph POV test drive, spirited drive, highway drive, launch control, 0-60 acceleration, exhaust sound, review.

For 2026, the Infiniti QX60 received a mid-cycle refresh to stay somewhat competitive in a very competitive segment of luxury mid-size SUVs. The QX60 has to rival with cars like a BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, or a Volvo XC90, not to mention offerings from Lexus or Genesis, so as you can imagine, it doesn’t have the easiest job on earth.

So, what did Infiniti do to stay in the game?

They redesigned front and rear facias, added new color and wheel options, and put new technology, including Google-based infotainment and ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which is a hands-free semi-autonomous driving system.

As a reminder, this car sits on a FWD platform shared with a Nissan Pathfinder, meaning we get a strut front suspension and a multi-link setup in the back, combined with non-adaptive, dual-flow dampers.

We only get a 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, which makes 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque. It’s a variable compression engine, and basically what it means is that it can adjust the compression ratio based on driving conditions.

When you need more power and torque, the compression ratio is lowered, allowing for more boost from the turbocharger. When you drive normally, the compression ratio will be higher for better fuel economy.

The Pure trim opens up the line up, starting at $51,000, than we have Luxe for around $57,000, next up is Sport starting at about $62,000, and lastly, the Autograph can cost up to $72,000 fully loaded.

Other SUVs to consider are an Acura MDX, Lexus RX 350, Nissan Pathfinder, Lexus TX, Mazda CX 90, Lincoln Aviator, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Cadillac XT6, Kia Telluride, Genesis GV80.
