2017 INFINITI QX60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important lineup-wide change for the 2017 INFINITI QX60 is a new 8-inch InTouch center display. Gas-powered 3.5 models also receive a stronger 295-horsepower V6, but this is an update rather than a redesign.
About the 2017 INFINITI QX60
1st generation QX60 (L50, sold as QX60 from 2014-2020; descended from the 2013 JX35), second year after the 2016 refresh.
Infiniti positioned the QX60 as a premium three-row family crossover built around easy third-row access, flexible seating, and a more upscale cabin than mainstream rivals. The brand’s messaging centered on roominess for seven, child-seat-friendly second-row access, quiet comfort, and a long list of safety and convenience features. In other words, the QX60’s core job was to move families in a more polished, more luxurious way, not to be the sportiest SUV in the class.
The 2017 QX60 is a premium three-row family crossover with seven seats, a sliding second row, and easier access to the third row. The 3.5 combines its stronger V6 with leather-appointed seating and heated front seats, while the efficiency-focused Hybrid has a 250-horsepower gas-electric system, navigation, Bose audio, and a heated steering wheel.

“Great smooth vomfort ride, however no auto brake systm and no auto brake speed adjustment on the cruise control. You would expect that in a vehicle of this class. Surprised Mitsubishi Outlander has these features”
