Jeep Grand Wagoneer vs INFINITI QX60

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 was offered in four trim levels: Pure, Luxe, Sport, and Autograph, with prices ranging from $53,035 to $68,185, including a destination charge. The Autograph trim, which we tested, featured a striking Deep Emerald color with a Black Obsidian roof and a Technology Package that added ProPilot Assist 2.1 and other advanced features, bringing the MSRP to $73,030. The QX60's design was updated to align with the larger QX80, featuring a new grille inspired by a bamboo forest and standard 20-inch wheels on the Pure trim. Inside, the QX60 offered a luxurious cabin with options like semi-aniline leather in the Autograph trim and a new Stone Gray interior color. The Luxe trim was highlighted as the sweet spot, offering a balance of features and customization options.

The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer received a refresh four years into its lifecycle, maintaining its upright stance and large windows while introducing a new illuminated grille inspired by the all-electric Wagoneer S. The Upland trim we tested added functional front recovery hooks without compromising the vehicle's elegant design. Inside, the Grand Wagoneer boasted a modern and clean design with a 12-inch infotainment screen and comfortable, highly adjustable seats. The cabin featured premium materials, with options for Nappa and Palermo leather and a suede headliner. The Grand Wagoneer's fit and finish were rated highly, with solid-feeling components and a quiet ride, despite its large size.

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 was equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four VC-Turbo engine, producing 268 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque on premium fuel. This engine offered a balance of power and fuel efficiency, with an EPA rating of 24 mpg for both FWD and AWD models. The QX60's nine-speed automatic transmission and 6,000-pound towing capacity were notable features. However, the AWD system lacked sophistication, and the suspension was too soft at higher speeds, leading to unwanted body motion. The QX60 excelled in urban environments with its quiet cabin and smooth ride in Auto mode, but it struggled on mountain roads, feeling heavy and uncommunicative.

The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer featured a standard 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engine, delivering 420 horsepower and 468 pound-feet of torque. This engine provided smooth and effortless power, even for the 6,000-pound vehicle. The Grand Wagoneer was also set to receive a range-extended electric powertrain with a 92-kilowatt-hour battery pack, offering an estimated 647 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of torque. Despite its large size, the Grand Wagoneer was surprisingly agile and easy to drive, with a quiet cabin and comfortable seats for long journeys. The vehicle's size helped absorb road imperfections, making it a pleasant ride.

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 offered seven-passenger seating in the Pure and Luxe trims, while the Sport and Autograph trims featured captain's chairs, reducing capacity to six. The QX60 included heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, with ventilated front and heated second-row seats in higher trims. The Autograph trim added front-seat massage and Plasmacluster air purification. However, the driving position in the Autograph trim was unsatisfactory, with an awkward seat angle. The second-row captain's chairs were more comfortable, but the third row was tight for adults, with limited foot space and thigh support. Cargo space was 14.5 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding to 75.4 cubic feet with seats folded.

The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer excelled as a people mover, offering ample leg and hip room across three rows. Our test vehicle featured a second-row bench seat, accommodating up to eight passengers comfortably. The third row was spacious enough for three small to average-sized individuals. Cargo space was 27.9 cubic feet behind the third row, with a long-wheelbase version available for increased capacity. The Grand Wagoneer could tow up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. It also featured three-zone automatic climate controls, heated and ventilated front seats, and Quadra-Lift air suspension for light off-roading.

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 introduced a new Google Built-in infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, offering Google Assistant, Google Maps, and access to apps via the Google Play Store. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were standard, along with SiriusXM 360L satellite radio and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot. The system was user-friendly, though Google Maps occasionally failed to load. The QX60 Luxe and Sport trims featured a 16-speaker Klipsch audio system, while the Autograph trim had a 20-speaker setup. However, the audio quality was lacking compared to competitors. Additional tech included a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.8-inch head-up display, and MyQ Connected Garage technology.

The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer came equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, and a wireless phone charger. Higher trims offered a 23-speaker McIntosh sound system, a front passenger interactive display, and four-zone climate controls. While the tech generally performed well, the wireless phone charger overheated an iPhone 16 without charging it. The 12-inch infotainment screen felt small for the vehicle's size, and adjustable pedals were no longer available for 2026. The Grand Wagoneer offered a hands-free power liftgate, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and numerous USB ports.

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 came with standard driver-assistance features, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist. The Luxe trim added ProPilot Assist 1.1 with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist, while the Autograph trim offered ProPilot Assist 2.1 with hands-free driving capability. However, the driver-assist tech needed improvement, as it cycled on and off without clear indications. The NHTSA awarded the QX60 a five-star overall rating, but IIHS ratings were unavailable at the time of publication.
