Today, we are diving into the changes between the 2025 INFINITI QX60 PURE and the refreshed 2026 QX60 PURE. If you are shopping for a luxury SUV in Los Angeles, Glendale, Pasadena, or Beverly Hills, you will want to know exactly what has been updated before making your choice. At Glendale INFINITI, we have had the chance to explore both model years side by side, so let’s unpack the differences.
Exterior Upgrades for 2026
The first thing you will notice about the 2026 QX60 PURE is its front fascia. INFINITI redesigned it with inspiration from the QX80, giving it a waterfall grille and more aggressive bumper treatments. The headlights have been updated with new piano key patterns, while the emblem is now illuminated, making the SUV instantly recognizable on the road. Another change is the move from traditional chrome to a satin silver finish, creating a more modern, refined appearance. Even small design elements feature a kimono inspired pattern, a subtle detail that reflects INFINITI’s attention to craftsmanship.
On the side, the 20 inch wheels that were previously reserved for the Luxe trim in 2025 now come standard on the PURE Core trim for 2026. When you lock the vehicle, the mirrors fold in automatically, something customers expect in a luxury SUV. The rear has also been simplified. The INFINITI lettering now uses a satin finish with a cleaner design. The older faux exhaust tips have been removed, replaced with a smoother bumper and repositioned reflectors, giving the SUV a sleeker and more modern look.
Interior Refinements
Step inside the 2026 QX60 PURE and you will immediately see improvements. A new Stone interior color replaces the traditional Sandstone beige, bringing a fresh two tone combination of black, dark gray, and softer accents. Even on the Core trim, the materials and details feel upscale, so you would never know it is the entry level version. The panoramic roof remains standard, which is impressive since many brands reserve it for higher trims.
Another big update is the 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster. The 2025 PURE still used analog gauges, but now you can fully customize your displays, switching between layouts for a more modern driving experience.
