Infiniti's Latest QX60 Sport Raises the Intensity Without Igniting the Flames | Carscoops

      The refreshed Infiniti QX60 introduces a new Sport trim, replacing the previous Sensory grade in the lineup. The Sport trim stands out with a distinctive mesh grille, a front lip, black accents, and 20-inch wheels.

      Inside, it features unique black and blue upholstery and black open-pore ash wood trim.

      Infiniti’s top-selling QX60 is making a comeback for 2026, this time with an added Sport trim. This is more than just an update to the previous Sensory trim; it delivers a more dynamic edge for those who found the standard QX60 somewhat uninspired.

      At a preview event last month, Infiniti representatives noted that the crossover builds on their performance heritage, which includes iconic models like the G35 and Q60 Red Sport coupes. It combines a sporty demeanor with the comfort and convenience expected from a three-row luxury SUV.

      Officials mentioned that strong interest in the Black Edition Package for the 2025 QX60 contributed to the introduction of the new Sport trim. Similar to that version, the Sport is aimed at buyers seeking a more aggressive look.

      This aggressiveness is evident, as the QX60 Sport features a unique mesh grille with an illuminated Infiniti logo, complemented by a sporty front lip in gloss black.

      The dark theme continues toward the rear of the vehicle, with exclusive 20-inch gloss black wheels, black side moldings, roof rails, and door mirrors. Additionally, the model showcases “S” badging on the liftgate.

      Four color options are available: Mineral Black, Grand Blue, Graphite Shadow, and Radiant White, with the last two allowing for a contrasting Black Obsidian roof.

      The sporty aesthetic carries through to the interior, which includes black open-pore ash wood trim and a distinctive Dusk Blue interior, featuring a blend of black and blue TailorFit upholstery with contrasting stitching. The front seats come with heating and ventilation, while the second row has heated captain’s chairs separated by a removable console with two cup holders.

      In addition to its distinctive features, drivers will find a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with built-in Google. Other interior highlights include a black headliner, a wireless phone charger, a tri-zone climate control system, and a 16-speaker Klipsch premium audio system.

      Despite the Sport designation, the crossover retains the familiar 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine, generating 268 hp (200 kW / 272 PS) and 286 lb-ft (387 Nm) of torque. It comes equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system, allowing for an estimated fuel economy of 22 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg combined.
