INFINITI QX60

2026 INFINITI QX60 SPORT AWD — CANADIAN SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

The 2026 QX60 SPORT is powered by INFINITI's 2.0-litre VC-Turbo variable-compression turbocharged inline-four, a transverse front-mounted unit with an aluminium block and aluminium cylinder head, DOHC with variable valve control, combined port and direct injection and an intercooled turbocharger. INFINITI Canada publishes 268 hp and 286 lb-ft (388 Nm) of torque for this grade, and the seller's decoded build sheet for this specific unit returns the same 268 hp figure with a governed speed of 6,000 rpm. The engine is the variable-compression design; the decode records the low setting of that range at 8.0:1. Automatic stop-start is fitted. Premium unleaded is the specified fuel.

Drive passes through a nine-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift via steering-wheel paddles, selectable shift modes, electronic control and a transmission oil cooler. The decoded gear set runs 4.713 / 2.842 / 1.909 / 1.382 / 1.000 / 0.808 / 0.699 / 0.580 / 0.480 with a 3.830 reverse and a 4.334 final drive. Note that INFINITI Canada's SPORT marketing page describes a seven-speed automatic; that is contradicted by the nine published ratios, by the decoded transmission speed count and by the NHTSA VIN decode, all three of which return nine speeds, so nine is stated here.

The driveline is automatic full-time all-wheel drive with a driver-selectable drivetrain mode, brake-actuated limited-slip control and all-speed ABS-based driveline traction control. INFINITI Canada publishes fuel consumption of 10.9 L/100 km city, 8.7 L/100 km highway and 9.9 L/100 km combined. The fuel tank holds 70 litres and the filler is capless. No CO2 emissions figure is stated here, as none is published on the INFINITI Canada grade sheet.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

Suspension is independent at both ends: MacPherson struts with coil springs and an anti-roll bar at the front, and a multi-link arrangement with coil springs and an anti-roll bar at the rear, on gas-pressurised dampers throughout. This grade uses the standard ride suspension; no air or adaptive damping system is fitted. Steering is a power-assisted rack and pinion with speed-sensitive assistance and driver-selectable steering effort, on a power tilt and power telescopic column with auto tilt-away.

Braking is by ventilated discs at all four corners, 350 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear, with four-channel anti-lock control, brake assist, automatic brake hold and an electronic parking brake. Electronic stability control, traction control and hill start assist are standard. Wheels are 20 x 8-inch gloss-black aluminium alloys on 255/50R20 all-season tyres front and rear, with a compact steel spare on a crank-down carrier.

DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITIES

All dimensions below are INFINITI Canada's published figures for the SPORT grade of the 2026 QX60, not US-market figures. Overall length is 5,060 mm, identical with and without the licence plate bracket, on a 2,900 mm wheelbase. Two width figures apply and both matter for shipping: 1,981 mm across the body with the mirrors folded, and 2,185 mm with the mirrors open — use the folded figure for container planning and the open figure for handling clearance. Overall height is 1,770 mm. Track width is 1,700 mm at the front and 1,700 mm at the rear. Curb weight is 2,085 kg with a 56 / 44 front-to-rear weight distribution. INFINITI Canada publishes no gross vehicle weight rating for this grade; the NHTSA VIN decode returns only a class band of 2,722–3,175 kg, so no single GVWR figure is stated. The seller's decode records minimum ground clearance of 170 mm, a drag coefficient of 0.30, an approach angle of 15 degrees and a departure angle of 22.5 degrees. Note that the seller's decode gives overall length as 5,047 mm; the INFINITI Canada figure of 5,060 mm is used here in preference.

Cargo volume is 411 litres behind the upright third row, 1,178 litres with the third row folded, and 2,135 litres with both the second and third rows folded. The decode gives the cargo bay as 2,042 mm long with the seats down, 1,237 mm at its maximum width and 797 mm tall. Interior volume is 1,804 litres in the first row, 1,308 litres in the second and 869 litres in the third, for 3,981 litres of total passenger volume and 4,392 litres of combined passenger and cargo volume.

EXTERIOR

SPORT is the dark-trimmed grade in the Canadian QX60 walk, and this unit carries that treatment throughout: 20-inch gloss-black aluminium alloy wheels, a black grille, black door mirrors with dark chrome mirror covers, black bodyside cladding, black wheel-well trim, black windscreen and side-window trim, a black front bumper rub strip, a black rear bumper and a black tailpipe finisher on a stainless steel single exhaust. A rear lip spoiler, roof rails, rocker panel extensions, illuminated badging, active grille shutters, body-coloured door handles and front and rear splash guards complete the exterior. Body panels are galvanised steel and aluminium with side impact beams. The seller records the paint as 2-Tone Radiant White over Black Obsidian, option code XKJ.

Lighting is LED throughout: projector-beam LED low and high beams with automatic high-beam switching, automatic on/off control with delay-off, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights, a high-mounted centre stop lamp, and remote-activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lamps. Glazing includes deep-tinted windows, laminated side glass and a first- and second-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof with express open and close and a powered sunshade. Mirrors are heated, power-folding, power-adjustable with tilt-down in reverse and integrated turn signal indicators. Wipers are speed-sensitive variable intermittent items with rain detection, backed by heated windscreen washer jets, a rear wiper and a rear window defroster. A power liftgate with auto-latching and a power cargo release is fitted.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

This is a seven-passenger, three-row car in a two / three / two layout. The Canadian QX60 range is offered as either a six- or a seven-seater; SPORT carries the seven-seat configuration with a 60/40 split-folding second-row bench, while the six-seat captain's chair arrangement belongs to the AUTOGRAPH grade. Seating capacity of seven is confirmed independently by the INFINITI Canada SPORT grade sheet, by the seller's build sheet and by the NHTSA VIN decode, which returns three seat rows and seven seats.

Upholstery is leatherette — recorded by the seller as premium synthetic, in blue — across the front, second and third rows; this grade is not fitted with the semi-aniline leather that belongs to the AUTOGRAPH grade. The front seats are buckets with eight-way power adjustment for both driver and front passenger, four-way power lumbar support on each, and a two-position driver memory that also stores the door mirrors, steering wheel, audio and climate settings. Front and rear seats are heated, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel is heated. The second row splits 60/40, reclines manually, slides fore and aft manually, folds forward, and carries a centre armrest with storage and three height-adjustable head restraints. The third row is a 60/40 folding, manually reclining, front-facing bench that folds manually into the floor, with two head restraints.

Climate control is dual-zone automatic at the front with a separate rear system on its own controls, fed by rear under-seat and headliner/pillar ducts and filtered by a cabin air filter. Cabin trim runs to genuine wood door panel and instrument panel inserts, a leatherette and metal-look console insert, leatherette door trim inserts, metal-look interior accents, a cloth headliner and carpeted front and rear floor mats. Ambient lighting, illuminated sill plates, an illuminated locking glovebox, front and rear reading lights, a full floor console with covered storage, an overhead console, twelve beverage holders, two seatback pockets, front and rear door bins and three 12-volt outlets are fitted.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

The dashboard carries two first-row displays: a 12.3-inch primary touchscreen and a 12.3-inch configurable digital instrument cluster with digital and analogue display modes, a redundant digital speedometer, trip computer, compass and driver information centre. Audio on the SPORT grade is the Klipsch Premium system with 16 speakers, an amplifier and digital signal processing, with AM/FM, digital and satellite radio on a three-month satellite trial, RDS, seek-scan, speed-sensitive volume, an auxiliary input, external memory control, wireless audio streaming and voice-activated audio control.

Connectivity includes wireless smart-device screen mirroring, hands-free wireless device connectivity, an integrated navigation system with voice activation and turn-by-turn guidance, real-time traffic and real-time weather, a built-in virtual assistant, mobile hotspot internet access, over-the-air software updates, an integrated emergency SOS system, five USB ports, front wireless smart-device charging, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a garage door opener.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

The QX60 SPORT carries SAE Level 2 partial automation in its hands-on form — INFINITI's ProPILOT 1.1 on the Canadian QX60 range. It combines adaptive cruise control with stop and go, automatic curve slowdown, traffic sign recognition with automatic speed limit assist, lane departure warning with lane departure prevention and lane keep assist, and steering-wheel-mounted cruise controls. This is a hands-on system; it is not a hands-free driving system.

Collision avoidance comprises forward collision mitigation with pedestrian impact prevention, rear collision mitigation with rear automatic emergency braking, an active blind spot system with blind spot intervention, rear cross traffic alert, driver attention alert and a restricted driving mode with alerts. Visibility aids are an aerial-view 360-degree camera system drawing on front, rear, left-side and right-side cameras, plus front and rear parking sensors and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

Ten airbags are fitted: driver and front passenger front-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, rear side-impact airbags, and curtain airbags covering all three rows, with an airbag occupancy sensor. Restraints include front seatbelt pretensioners, height-adjustable front belts, three-point belts in all seating positions and a rear centre three-point belt. Also fitted are electronic stability control, traction control, hill start assist, automatic brake hold, a direct tyre-specific low-pressure warning system with tyre pressure fill assist, manual rear child safety door locks, an immobiliser, a vehicle tracker, a security system and a remote panic alarm. No verified NHTSA, IIHS or Transport Canada crash rating is published for the 2026 model year at the time of listing, so none is stated.

TOWING AND CAPABILITY

INFINITI Canada rates the 2026 QX60 to tow up to 6,000 lb, and the seller's decode records the same figure as 2,722 kg. A tow hitch and trailer wiring harness are not listed among this unit's fitted equipment, so towing hardware should be assumed to require fitment. Capability equipment consists of the automatic full-time all-wheel drive system with a driver-selectable drivetrain mode, brake-actuated limited-slip control, all-speed traction control, hill start assist and automatic brake hold. With 170 mm of minimum ground clearance, a 15-degree approach angle and a 22.5-degree departure angle, this is an on-road three-row luxury SUV with all-weather traction rather than an off-road vehicle.
