What Every New Infiniti SUV Includes Standard, and Where Rivals Offer More
Key driver aids come standard on the QX60, QX65 and QX80, but Infiniti's included maintenance plan covers less than what Genesis and BMW give buyers.
Infiniti is making its ownership pitch to luxury SUV shoppers in plain terms: a core set of driver aids comes standard on the QX60, QX65, and QX80, and every new model arrives with a prepaid maintenance plan. The safety list holds up well. The maintenance plan is thinner than what Genesis and BMW include.
The company laid out the details in two new statements on safety and long-term durability. They apply to the brand's entire current lineup, including the new QX65 coupe-SUV and its Light Path lighting.
What every Infiniti SUV gets
Three systems are standard on all three models: Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Warning, and Lane Departure Prevention. The forward system is the most interesting. According to Infiniti's QX60 safety page, it watches both the car directly ahead and the one in front of it, so it can warn about a sudden slowdown the driver can't see yet.
Lane Departure Prevention goes a step beyond a warning chime and can steer the SUV back toward its lane. On the QX60, Infiniti's press kit also lists Rear Automatic Braking and High Beam Assist as standard on every grade. ProPILOT Assist, which pairs adaptive cruise control with steering assist, starts at the Luxe trim.
Cameras are where trims split. Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Front Wide View, and Invisible Hood View are optional. So are InTouch connected services like Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Call, and Stolen Vehicle Locator, which require a subscription the owner has to activate.
On crash protection, the 2026 QX80 holds a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That is the base award, not the stricter Top Safety Pick+. The 2026 QX60 earned Top Safety Pick+ under the 2025 criteria. For three-row context, here's how the 2027 Kia Telluride fared in the same program.
The maintenance plan, in detail
Infiniti Premium Care comes with every new 2026 or 2027 model bought or leased from dealer stock. It covers up to three oil changes and three tire rotations, within the model's designated mileage window or three years, whichever ends first. Participating dealers also offer free pickup and return for service visits within a 10-mile radius.
That is narrower than what the closest rivals provide. Genesis covers scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, including oil and filter, cabin air filter, and tire rotations, and adds pickup-and-delivery Service Valet for the same period. BMW's Ultimate Care program also runs three years or 36,000 miles.
Powertrain and towing
The QX60 and QX65 share Infiniti's 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder, which varies its compression ratio while driving to shift between power and efficiency. Both are assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee, and both are rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. The QX80 tops the lineup at 8,500 pounds.

Durability messaging isn't new for the brand. Infiniti recently showed off how it tests something as small as the QX60's cupholders.
What Infiniti didn't share: new reliability data, warranty changes, or pricing updates. The statements repackage existing equipment rather than add to it. For shoppers, the takeaway is simple: the safety basics are covered on every trim, and the free service coverage is best treated as a starter plan.
