The 2026 Infiniti QX60 arrives with a significant shift in its lineup, introducing the all-new SPORT trim to replace the previous Sensory grade. This change reflects a move toward a more assertive, design-forward presence in the three-row luxury SUV segment. At Jackie Cooper Infiniti, we recognize that our clients often look for a vehicle that balances the practical needs of a family with a distinct, sophisticated aesthetic. The SPORT trim achieves this by leaning into darker, more aggressive styling cues while maintaining the high-end technology and comfort that define the QX60 nameplate.
Choosing between the established LUXE and the new SPORT often comes down to how you want your vehicle to be perceived on the road. While the LUXE focuses on a traditional luxury feel with bright accents and a comprehensive feature set, the SPORT is built for those who prefer a "blacked-out" appearance. It serves as a bridge between the well-equipped mid-range and the flagship AUTOGRAPH, offering a specific personality that was previously unavailable in the lineup. Our team is always ready to help you compare these options in person; you can find our showroom on South Memorial Drive to see the new styling updates firsthand.
If you are beginning your research into the 2026 model year, you will notice that the updates extend beyond just a new trim name. The entire range benefits from a refreshed front-end design, featuring a redesigned grille and updated lighting signatures. For a detailed walkthrough of how these changes impact your daily commute or to check current availability, feel free to give us a quick call at (918) 209-4754. We pride ourselves on "making things right" for our customers, ensuring you have the exact specifications and data needed to make an informed purchase decision.

Visual Evolution: Styling Distinctions of the Sport and Luxe Grades
The visual differences between the 2026 Infiniti QX60 LUXE and the new SPORT are immediate and intentional. The LUXE trim maintains a classic premium look, utilizing silver roof rails and brightwork to highlight the SUV’s elegant lines. In contrast, the SPORT trim adopts a more predatory stance. It features a unique blacked-out grille, gloss-black 20-inch wheels, and an aggressive lower front fascia. This trim also introduces an exclusive exterior color option called Deep Emerald, which pairs exceptionally well with the darkened trim pieces and the illuminated Infiniti logo on the grille.

Inside the cabin, the styling divergence continues with materials and color palettes designed to evoke different moods. The LUXE trim is tailored for broad appeal with high-quality leather upholstery and a focus on an airy, open feel. The SPORT trim, however, introduces Dusk Blue TailorFit® seating and unique interior trim that complements its darker exterior. For those who prioritize a specific cabin environment, the SPORT comes standard with second-row captain's chairs, creating a six-passenger layout that feels more like a private jet than a traditional family hauler.
If your preference leans toward a vehicle with a proven history, exploring our current used-vehicle inventory can provide a perspective on how Infiniti styling has evolved into this latest generation. For shoppers working within a specific budget, we also maintain a selection of reliable used vehicles under $20k that offer excellent value. Regardless of which trim catches your eye, we invite you to view our dealership hours and location to plan a visit. Seeing the Deep Emerald paint under the Oklahoma sun is the best way to appreciate the depth of the new SPORT design.
Performance and Precision: Driving Dynamics of the New QX60 Sport
Under the hood, the 2026 Infiniti QX60 remains consistent across the lineup, utilizing the advanced 2.0L I4 VC-Turbo engine. This powerplant is a marvel of engineering, capable of physically transforming its compression ratio to prioritize either fuel efficiency or power depending on driver input. It produces 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, routed through a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. While the engine is shared, the SPORT trim comes standard with 4WD, providing enhanced traction for the gently rolling hills and occasional river valley mist found around Tulsa.

The driving experience in the SPORT trim is characterized by its 20-inch alloy wheels and a suspension setup that manages the vehicle's weight with professional composure. While the LUXE is available in both FWD and 4WD, the SPORT is strictly an all-wheel-drive affair, emphasizing its role as a more capable, performance-oriented appearance package. For families who need to haul gear for weekend outings at the Gathering Place or trips across northeastern Oklahoma, the QX60 provides a confident, quiet ride that masks the complexities of the turbocharged engine's variable compression.

We also offer new vehicle specials and pre-owned vehicle specials to ensure you find the best possible value.

The audio experience has also undergone a transformation.

The SPORT trim further distinguishes itself with standard second-row captain's chairs, which not only improve passenger comfort but also provide easier access to the third row. Both trims include leather upholstery for the first and second rows, along with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, essential for those brisk Oklahoma winter mornings.

ProPILOT Assist 2.1 and Advanced Safety: Comparing Driver-Assistance Suites
Safety and driver-assistance technology are where the 2026 Infiniti QX60 truly excels, earning the IIHS: TSP+ designation. Standard safety features across the lineup include Blind spot and lane departure warnings, Rear cross traffic alert, and a Pre-collision safety system. However, the LUXE and SPORT trims elevate the experience with ProPILOT Assist, which combines Intelligent Cruise Control and steering assist to help manage highway driving. For 2026, the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 introduces hands-free freeway driving capabilities on compatible roads, a major leap forward for long-distance commuters.

Another critical feature standard on both the LUXE and SPORT is the 3D Around View® Monitor. This system provides a virtual 360-degree bird's-eye view of the vehicle, making parking in tight downtown Tulsa spots much simpler. The SPORT trim also includes Lane Change Assist and Lane Departure Prevention, adding layers of active protection. These systems are designed to be intuitive rather than intrusive, respecting the driver's control while providing a reassuring safety net for the family.
For professionals seeking a high-value entry into the brand, our executive demo vehicles often feature these advanced safety suites at a competitive price point. We also have a dedicated section for quality used vehicles under $30k for those prioritizing safety tech on a budget. By focusing on these driver-assist technologies, Infiniti ensures that the QX60 remains a top choice for safety-conscious buyers who refuse to compromise on luxury or innovation.
Value Analysis: Ownership Costs and Warranty Protection for the QX60 Lineup
The 2026 Infiniti QX60 is positioned as a high-value alternative to European luxury rivals, offering more standard features at a more accessible price point. The LUXE trim starts at $63,656, while the SPORT is priced at $63,656 as well (when comparing 4WD configurations), making the choice between them a matter of stylistic preference rather than cost. Both trims offer a competitive fuel economy of 22 city / 27 hwy MPG, which is impressive for a three-row SUV of this size and capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between the 2026 Infiniti QX60 Sport and Luxe trims?
The main differences are aesthetic and seating configuration. The SPORT features gloss-black 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille, and standard second-row captain's chairs. The LUXE utilizes silver exterior accents and typically comes with a second-row bench for seven-passenger seating, though it focuses more on traditional luxury comforts like ventilated front seats.
Does the 2026 QX60 Sport have more horsepower than the Luxe?
No, both trims utilize the exact same 2.0L I4 VC-Turbo engine producing 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque. The "Sport" designation refers to the appearance package and interior styling rather than a boost in engine output, though the SPORT does come standard with 4WD.
Does the Sport trim include the Around View Monitor?
Yes, the 3D Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection is standard on both the LUXE and SPORT trims. This technology is a significant aid for navigating urban environments and ensuring safety while reversing or parking in crowded areas.
What is the warranty coverage for the 2026 Infiniti QX60?
The QX60 includes a 4-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, and 7-year/unlimited-mileage corrosion coverage. This manufacturer-backed protection is designed to provide long-term confidence in your luxury investment.
Is the Sport trim worth the price over the Luxe?
The SPORT and LUXE are priced very closely when equipped with 4WD. The "worth" depends on your lifestyle; if you prefer a modern, aggressive look and need the convenience of captain's chairs, the SPORT is the ideal choice. If you need maximum seating capacity for seven, the LUXE remains the better value.
