2026 Infiniti QX60 Autograph Interior Review: The Basics of Luxury, and Then Some

The QX60 SUV is Infiniti’s bestseller, a midsize three-row SUV that has found success with its balanced formula of luxury and price. For 2026, it receives a styling refresh and an expanded slate of standard equipment in its upper trims, the topmost of which is the Autograph AWD. We had an opportunity to spend some time in the Autograph’s massaging, heated and cooled, eight-way-adjustable, quilted-leather driver’s seat. Here’s what we found.

Nissanness

The QX60 shares DNA with Nissan’s Pathfinder, and if you’re familiar with that brand’s interiors, you’ll immediately notice a certain Nissanness in the QX60’s appointments. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though—we found the Infiniti’s blend of digital controls, haptics, and hard buttons refreshingly and even unexpectedly intuitive and user-friendly, requiring almost no time to memorize and operate without taking our eyes from the road. We suspect a lot of buyers would happily trade some of the flash of competing interiors for this kind of daily utility.

One thing we didn’t care much for was the transmission gear selector, also evidently sourced from the Nissan parts bin. Admittedly, this is a nitpick that probably won’t even register with most drivers, but we found its vague, un-mechanical action a bit odd in a cabin so heavily studded with tactile controls.

What will certainly register is the QX60’s upgraded tech, with Google Built-In running the show. Android phones reportedly play quite well with the Infiniti’s operating system, but our experience with Apple products was mixed; we were never able to connect one of the two iPhones we tried—the newer of the two, surprisingly.

The 12.3-inch center touchscreen has a somewhat tacked-on, tablet-like appearance. But we experienced no issues with navigating and using the screen’s basic functions, and Google Maps navigation functioned flawlessly in our use. The 12.3-inch digital driver’s display mimics analog gauges, with other vital data displayed between them, another Nissanesque characteristic. It isn’t the sharpest rendering we’ve seen, but it looks nice at night.

Better still is the Infiniti’s upgrade 20-speaker Klipsch Premier audio system, which provides impressively detailed reproduction even at low volumes. If you’re looking for the best features the QX60 has to offer, this one is well worth the money.

The Basics of Luxury

The QX60 has the basics of luxury down, too. All the cabin materials you commonly contact or see, like that leather we mentioned, as well as the finishes on the dash and console, feel appropriately if not overly luxurious. These include visually interesting quilted details and textures, open-pore ash wood trim with laser-etched metal inlay, and far less of the shiny black plastic that monopolized QX60 interiors of the recent past. A single wireless charging pad is conveniently placed, and apart from the occasional intrusion of engine noise when you go hard on the throttle, the cabin is quiet, too.

Legroom is good in the first two rows, with 42.1 inches up front and 37.7 inches in the middle. The second-row buckets are heated, and both the first and second rows feature the same quilted leather appointments. Although the 60/40-folding third-row bench isn’t as accommodating, with 28.0 inches of available legroom, it’s a perfectly comfortable place for kids to ride, and access is easy, as the second row moves well out of the way at the touch of a button. Device-charging needs are well covered at the Autograph trim level, with five USB ports, two 12-volt DC outlets, and a 120-volt outlet inside.

Cargo space is a strong point, as well, with flat-folding second and third rows yielding a maximum of 75.4 cubic feet, accessible via motion-activated power liftgate. Rolling with the third row flat frees up 41.6 cubic feet. With all rows up, you have 14.5 cubic feet at your disposal.

Another area where the QX60 succeeds is safety and driver assistance. All QX60s get a range of standard assists that include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, hill start, and rear cross-traffic alert. A 360-degree camera with moving object detection is included above the base trim level, and we found Infiniti’s updated suite of automated driver assists easy to activate and adjust via steering-wheel-mounted controls, and well above average in function—ProPilot Assist has clearly been improved.

The Verdict

You can certainly see why the QX60 has been Infiniti’s sales leader, and with the upgrades the SUV gets for 2026, the deal gets even sweeter. The QX60’s interior isn’t the most luxurious you’ll find, but it isn’t the least luxurious, either, and the Autograph trim is a compelling proposition at a starting price of around $68,000. If you’re in the market for a luxury three-row SUV, it’s worth spending some time in this one. You might be pleased with how well it stacks up against the competition.
