The refreshed 2025 Lincoln Aviator debuted well over a year ago bearing a host of updates including revised front and rear fascias, a couple of new exterior color options and packages, the new Lincoln Digital Experience software, and a larger 13.2-inch infotainment screen and 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, to name just a few. However, the Aviator has its fair share of competition in the luxury SUV space, and that now includes the newly-updated, just-revealed 2026 Infiniti QX60, too.
The 2026 Infiniti QX60 has been treated to some similar mid-cycle refresh updates of its own, which start on the outside with a look that brings it more in line with the larger QX80, which was redesigned for the 2025 model year. Gone is the shiny trim that used to adorn its flanks, replaced by darkened chrome elements, along with new wheel designs, updated badging, and the deletion of the fake exhaust outlets that used to be present in the lower rear facia.
Inside the cabin, the 2026 QX60 gets a new digital instrument cluster, coupled with new upholstery and trim options, with various stereo system choices including the 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere setup. Also new for 2026 is the Sport trim, which is basically an appearance package that adds a unique front grille and 20-inch wheels, a blue-and-black two-tone interior treatment, a splitter-like element up front, and blacked-out exterior trim. It joins the existing Pure, Luxe, and range-topping Autograph trim levels.
In terms of powertrains, the 2026 Infiniti QX60 carries over unchanged, and soldiers on with the same turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder powerplant generating 268 horsepower – though the luxury brand notes that it has treated that engine to a few changes to cut down on noise, vibration, and harshness. As is usually the case, Infiniti hasn’t released any pricing info for the refreshed QX60, but we should receive that information when we get closer to its launch, slated for some point this summer.
