Infiniti QX60
MotorTrend says with the newly updated 2026 QX60, Infiniti is making sure no one can bypass its popular three-row luxury SUV on the way to a Lexus or Volvo dealership, and that under the hood, every 2026 Infiniti QX60 is powered by a 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged inline-four delivering 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque; after a couple of hours behind the wheel of the new QX60 Autograph, MotorTrend found the changes subtle but meaningful for people eyeing this three-row luxury SUV. Car and Driver says the 2026 Infiniti QX60 looks good, offers plenty of impressive features, and has an attractive starting price, but doesn't stack up favorably to the best luxury SUVs in its class, and notes Infiniti is diving back into the mid-size two-row luxury SUV pool with the QX65, a low-roof variant of the QX60 crossover rather than a wholly separate model.
