ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Infiniti Qx60?
The 2026 Infiniti QX60 moves the NHTSA Safety Index one point forward to 91/100, up from 90/100 on the 2025 model, while maintaining the Exceptional band throughout. That incremental gain is grounded in real numbers: the crash-protection sub-score reaches 61 out of 70, avoidance technology scores a perfect 10 out of 10 reflecting standard fitment of both forward collision warning and lane departure warning, and the defect record sub-score posts a maximum 20 out of 20 on the strength of zero recall campaigns. The NHTSA overall rating of 5 stars anchors the crash side of the ledger, with a 5-star side result being the single highest mark in the test battery. The 4-star frontal and 4-star rollover scores are not weaknesses in any absolute sense, but they are the areas where the vehicle falls short of a clean sweep. With only 2 unverified complaints on file and no injury or fire allegations among them, the early complaint picture for this model year is notably quiet. Taken together, the 2026 QX60 represents the strongest safety snapshot this nameplate has posted in MotorCaliber's NHTSA-sourced dataset.
