The rhythm of family life in Quebec moves fast. One moment you're navigating the school drop-off lane with three kids, backpacks, and a forgotten lunch.

This three-row luxury SUV balances the chaos of weekday routines with the comfort and capability needed for weekend adventures.
The QX60 offers standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, seating for up to eight passengers, and a thoughtful mix of safety technology and interior refinement. Powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, it delivers responsive performance without sacrificing efficiency. Whether you're managing carpool schedules or planning a family road trip, the QX60 adapts to the demands of modern family life.

Morning Rush: Third-Row Access and Daily Practicality
The morning school run tests any family vehicle. Kids move slowly. Backpacks tangle. Car seats complicate access to the third row. The 2026 QX60 addresses these daily challenges with a multi-mode second-row seat featuring one-touch release. Press a button, and the second row tilts forward to create a clear path to the third row. No wrestling with seat adjustments or asking passengers to exit first.
Depending on the grade, the QX60 accommodates seven or eight passengers. PURE, LUXE, SPORT, and SENSORY grades include a second-row bench for eight-passenger seating, while AUTOGRAPH features captain's chairs for a six-passenger configuration. Both layouts prioritize comfort and accessibility. Heated seats are standard across all grades, with cooled front and second-row seats available on SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH.
Key Benefits for Daily Driving:
- One-touch second-row release simplifies third-row access during busy mornings
- Eight-passenger seating handles carpool duty and playdates
- Heated and cooled seats provide comfort during Quebec's temperature swings
- Tri-zone climate control (SENSORY) lets each row set individual temperature preferences
Safety That Keeps Up With Your Schedule
When you're managing drop-offs, pickups, and after-school activities, reliable safety technology reduces stress. The 2026 QX60 includes a suite of driver-assistance features designed to help monitor surroundings and respond to potential hazards.
ProPILOT Assist is standard on LUXE, SPORT, and SENSORY grades. This system combines adaptive cruise control with steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane during highway driving. The AUTOGRAPH grade upgrades to ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which allows hands-off driving on certain highways when the driver remains attentive.
Additional safety features include Forward Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection, Blind Spot Warning and Intervention, and Lane Departure Warning and Prevention. The 3D Around View Monitor (LUXE and higher) provides a top-down view of the vehicle's surroundings, making tight parking situations less stressful. Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View (SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH) offer additional camera angles to help spot obstacles around the vehicle.
Weekend Mode: Comfort and Cargo Flexibility
Friday afternoon arrives, and the QX60 shifts from school transport to weekend adventure vehicle. With the third row folded flat, cargo capacity expands from 411 litres to 1,178 litres. Fold both the second and third rows, and you gain 2,135 litres of cargo space for camping gear, sports equipment, or luggage for an extended trip.
The interior materials reflect the QX60's luxury positioning. PURE, LUXE, and SPORT grades feature TailorFit seating, composed of 65 percent recycled materials with improved durability and softness. SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH grades upgrade to semi-aniline leather with quilted stitching and contrast detailing. AUTOGRAPH adds kimono-inspired ripple stitching and perforated leather, along with open-pore wood trim featuring a laser-etched metal inlay.
Audio quality enhances longer drives. SPORT grades include a 16-speaker Klipsch audio system with 600 watts of power. SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH upgrade to a 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere system with 24-channel amplification. The Individual Audio feature (SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH) allows the driver to route specific audio sources to their seat, so navigation prompts or phone calls don't interrupt music playing for passengers.
Power for the Open Road
The 2026 QX60 is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque. This Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engine adjusts its compression ratio to balance performance and efficiency. The result is responsive acceleration in everyday driving and confident passing power on highways.
A 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters handles gear changes smoothly. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard across all grades, adjusting torque distribution to maintain traction on slippery roads or uneven terrain. The QX60 offers a towing capacity of 2,722 kg (6,000 lbs) when properly equipped, making it suitable for hauling a small trailer or boat.
Drive modes allow customization based on conditions. Standard modes include Eco for efficiency-focused driving, Sport for sharper throttle response, and Snow for added traction control. The Tow mode (SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH) optimizes transmission shift points and throttle mapping when towing.
Which QX60 Grade Fits Your Family?
The 2026 QX60 is offered in five grades: PURE, LUXE, SPORT, SENSORY, and AUTOGRAPH. Each builds on the previous grade's equipment while adding features tailored to different priorities.
PURE serves as the entry point, including 20-inch wheels, TailorFit seating, dual 12.3-inch displays with Google built-in, and essential safety features like ProPILOT Assist. It's a solid choice for families prioritizing value without sacrificing core technology and comfort.
LUXE adds conveniences like a power liftgate, Around View Monitor, and silver metallic interior trim. This grade balances added features with a modest price increase.
SPORT introduces a more dynamic appearance with black exterior accents, gloss black wheels, and a unique Dusk Blue interior option. The 16-speaker Klipsch audio system and enhanced ambient lighting appeal to families who value style and sound quality.
SENSORY steps into higher luxury with semi-aniline leather seating, a motion-activated liftgate, tri-zone climate control, and the 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system. Families prioritizing interior refinement and comfort will appreciate these upgrades.
AUTOGRAPH represents the top grade, featuring six-passenger seating with second-row captain's chairs, ProPILOT Assist 2.1, massaging second-row seats, and exclusive interior trim. This grade suits families seeking the highest level of comfort and technology.
