What’s New for INFINITI in 2026? A First Look at the QX65 and the Updated QX60
If you’ve been watching INFINITI’s direction over the past few years, you’ve likely noticed things becoming sleeker, more modern, and much more premium. Well, 2026 seems to be a turning point—and Middle Tennessee drivers will definitely feel it in the best way possible.
With an all-new model (the eye-catching INFINITI QX65) and a more refined, polished version of the INFINITI QX60, the brand is focusing on what local drivers truly want: stylish, comfortable, luxurious SUVs built for everyday driving around Franklin, Brentwood, Nashville, and Cool Springs. You can keep an eye on the latest arrivals in our new INFINITI inventory.
INFINITI’s Big Move Into 2026 — A More Premium, SUV-Focused Future
For 2026, INFINITI is simplifying its lineup, focusing on SUVs, and giving it a more defined, upscale feel. Instead of spreading attention across sedans and compact crossovers, the brand is putting all its energy into the vehicles that truly resonate with today’s drivers—especially here in Middle Tennessee.
Think of it as INFINITI tightening up the playlist: fewer tracks, but every one hits.
- SUVs fit Tennessee lifestyles. Whether you’re running errands in Cool Springs, heading downtown for work, or taking the kids to sports in Brentwood, SUVs offer the comfort, visibility, and space that make day-to-day life easier.
- Luxury matters more than ever. Drivers want premium materials, thoughtful tech, and styling that feels modern—not overdone.
- Performance and practicality can coexist. INFINITI’s upcoming SUV-focused lineup is designed to balance both, so you don’t have to choose between good looks and real-world versatility.
All of this sets the stage for the QX65 and the refreshed QX60—two models that show exactly where INFINITI is headed.
Meet the All-New INFINITI QX65 — A Sporty New Direction
If you love the idea of an SUV that feels stylish, athletic, and a little more personal than a big three-row, the INFINITI QX65 is probably going to be your favorite part of the 2026 lineup. This is a brand-new model—and it makes a statement.
A Sleek Fastback Look Inspired by Pebble Beach
INFINITI pulled design inspiration straight from the dramatic QX65 Monograph Concept shown at Pebble Beach. You’ll see that influence in the QX65’s:
- Swooping fastback roofline
- Sculpted sides
- Sportier overall posture
It’s still an SUV, but with the kind of curve and flow you usually only see in sporty luxury coupes.
Replacing the QX50 and QX55
INFINITI is saying goodbye to both the QX50 and QX55 after 2025. In their place, the QX65 becomes the modern, premium compact SUV option moving forward.
In other words, instead of choosing between two different compact INFINITI models, drivers will get one really refined version that blends the best of both worlds. When the time comes, you’ll be able to shop the latest QX65 options in our new INFINITI SUV selection.
Who the QX65 Fits Best
It’s a perfect match for drivers around Nashville and Franklin who want:
- Something sleek instead of boxy
- A luxury SUV that leans sporty
- A great commuter with personality
- Enough versatility for weekend Tennessee trips
If you don’t need a third row and love the idea of style meeting performance, the QX65 is meant for you.
2026 INFINITI QX60 — A Fresh New Look for a Beloved Three-Row
On the other hand, maybe what you need is space—real, family-friendly space. If so, the INFINITI QX60’s 2026 refresh is going to hit all the right notes.
The QX60 has been one of INFINITI’s most popular models for years, and this update keeps everything people already love while giving the SUV a sharper, more modern feel.
A Bolder Exterior
The 2026 QX60 gets a noticeable styling upgrade—one you’ll see the moment it pulls into view. Updates include:
- A redesigned front fascia
- A more sculpted, confident profile
- An illuminated INFINITI badge (a small change that makes a big impact at night)
It’s still classy and understated, but with more presence and a little extra attitude.
A More Premium Cabin
Inside, the improvements feel immediate. INFINITI added:
- Nicer materials
- Refined finishes
- Updated tech for smoother connectivity
Nothing is over-the-top; it’s more of a subtle, “this just feels right” kind of upgrade.
Why Middle Tennessee Families Love It
Whether you’re commuting from Brentwood, carpooling to school in Franklin, or loading up for a weekend in Chattanooga, the QX60 continues to shine because it’s comfortable, spacious, and easy to live with. The refresh just makes it even better.
If you’re exploring budget-friendly options, you can also consider our used INFINITI SUVs, including QX60 models.
Models Leaving the Lineup Before 2026
To fully commit to this cleaner, SUV-centered strategy, INFINITI is phasing out a few models:
- INFINITI QX50: Ending production December 2025
- INFINITI QX55: Also wrapping up in December 2025
- INFINITI Q50 sedan: Already discontinued in 2024
This streamlining allows the brand to put more attention into fewer models—meaning more consistency, more direction, and more premium touches.
Which 2026 INFINITI Model Fits Your Tennessee Lifestyle?
So, which one’s right for you: the QX65 or the QX60?
Here’s a quick breakdown based on the way people drive around Middle Tennessee:
Choose the INFINITI QX65 if you want:
