Arabian Automobiles Company (AAC), the exclusive distributor for INFINITI in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, has announced the arrival of the evolved 2026 INFINITI QX60, now available with a leasing offer starting from AED 3,999. The launch reflects AAC’s strategy to meet evolving customer expectations by combining refined design, advanced technology and enhanced ownership experiences.

The regional debut of the 2026 QX60 took place in December at a launch event held at the Armani Hotel Dubai. The event also featured the unveiling of the QX65 Monograph concept and marked the official introduction of INFINITI BEYOND, a new premium ownership and lifestyle membership programme in the UAE.

2026 INFINITI QX60: elegance in motion

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 represents the brand’s latest expression of modern luxury under its “Artistry in Motion” design philosophy. Exterior updates include a refreshed grille inspired by the intersecting shapes of a bamboo forest, an illuminated three-dimensional INFINITI emblem, and a redesigned lower bumper that creates a floating grille effect.

The updated daytime running lights draw inspiration from digital piano keys first seen on the QX80, while the rear design gives the SUV a lower and wider stance through cleaner liftgate and fascia surfacing. The model comes standard with 20-inch wheels, with the nature-inspired Deep Emerald paint joining the colour palette.

Making its debut, the first-ever QX60 SPORT grade introduces a more dynamic appearance, featuring a unique front fascia, sharpened grille mesh, gloss black 20-inch wheels, dark exterior accents, a redesigned lower front bumper protector and an exclusive “S” badge on the liftgate.

Inside, the three-row cabin is designed around comfort and usability. New features include available Google built-in for navigation and connectivity, and an upgraded Klipsch Premium Audio system with 16 speakers, including headrest speakers for the driver. Advanced technologies include the AroundView Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Smart Rear View Mirror and ProPILOT Assist. A large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and customizable drive modes further enhance everyday convenience.

Powering the QX60 is a 3.5-litre direct-injected V6 engine delivering 279 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters. The model continues to be a strong performer in the region, holding a top-four segment share across the Middle East.

INFINITI BEYOND introduces a new ownership experience

Alongside the vehicle launch, AAC introduced INFINITI BEYOND, a lifestyle membership programme designed to elevate the ownership experience beyond the vehicle itself. Built around the pillars of community, wellbeing and mobility, the programme offers curated experiences for owners, including exclusive events, chef-led dining experiences, cultural workshops, wellness sessions and private brand gatherings.

Members will also receive complimentary access to selected partner wellness facilities, including Talise Spa in Dubai, with additional partners across the UAE set to be added.

QX65 Monograph offers a glimpse into the future

The event concluded with the unveiling of the QX65 Monograph, a design study showcasing INFINITI’s future direction. Featuring a fastback silhouette, bamboo-inspired double-arch grille, piano key LED lighting and a sculptural rear light blade, the concept highlights the brand’s progressive and design-led approach.

Hussam Baghdadi, Chief Operating Officer of Arabian Automobiles Company, said the 2026 QX60 reflects a philosophy of delivering value throughout the ownership journey, while INFINITI BEYOND deepens the relationship between the brand and its customers through curated, meaningful experiences. He added that the QX65 Monograph reinforces INFINITI’s commitment to continuous evolution and forward-looking design.
