When Colorado families from Denver to Colorado Springs search for a luxury SUV that prioritizes safety without compromising on sophistication, the 2026 INFINITI QX60 stands out as an exceptional choice. At Red Noland INFINITI in Colorado Springs, we’re proud to showcase this three-row luxury crossover that has earned the prestigious IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation for three consecutive years, demonstrating INFINITI’s unwavering commitment to protecting what matters most.

Award-Winning Safety Recognition

The 2026 INFINITI QX60 continues its impressive safety legacy by maintaining its IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, a distinction that places it among the elite vehicles in the luxury SUV segment. This recognition isn’t easily earned—vehicles must achieve “Good” ratings in the small overlap front crash test, updated side-impact crash tests, and score no less than “Acceptable” in the updated moderate overlap front test. Additionally, the QX60 must feature headlights rated “Good” or “Acceptable” across all trims and achieve strong ratings in vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention systems.

For Colorado drivers navigating everything from I-25 commutes to mountain roads, this award-winning safety performance provides invaluable peace of mind. The QX60’s robust body structure is engineered to absorb and distribute crash forces effectively, maintaining the integrity of the passenger compartment even in severe collisions.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

ProPILOT Assist Technology

The 2026 QX60 features INFINITI’s innovative ProPILOT Assist 1.1, available starting with the LUXE trim level. This sophisticated suite of driver-assistance technologies transforms every journey by reducing driver workload and enhancing safety on Colorado’s highways and city streets. The system uses radar technology and camera sensors to provide:

Intelligent Cruise Control maintains not just a steady speed but adapts to traffic flow, automatically adjusting your following distance from the vehicle ahead. In stop-and-go traffic common on Colorado’s urban corridors, the system can bring the QX60 to a complete stop and restart automatically, making rush hour significantly less stressful.

Steering Assist functionality helps keep your QX60 centered in its lane, requiring fewer steering corrections and reducing driver fatigue on long drives across Colorado’s vast highways. This feature proves particularly valuable during extended road trips from the Front Range to the Western Slope.

For those seeking the ultimate in advanced driver assistance, the top-tier AUTOGRAPH trim offers available ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which enables hands-free driving in certain freeway scenarios when lane markings are clearly detected. This system monitors the driver’s attention through an advanced camera and allows for a more relaxed highway driving experience, though drivers must remain attentive and ready to take control when conditions require it.

Traffic Sign Recognition

Colorado’s varying speed zones—from mountain passes to school zones—demand constant vigilance. The 2026 QX60’s Traffic Sign Recognition system uses forward-facing cameras to read road signs in real time, displaying speed limits and other important traffic information on the instrument cluster or available head-up display. When paired with ProPILOT Assist, the system can prompt you to adjust your speed when entering new speed-limit zones, or it can automatically adapt the set speed to match posted limits. This feature is particularly helpful when traveling through Colorado’s diverse driving environments where speed limits change frequently.

Collision Prevention Technologies

Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

Downtown Colorado Springs, Boulder’s Pearl Street, and Denver’s busy intersections all present scenarios where pedestrian safety is paramount. The QX60’s Forward Emergency Braking system with Pedestrian Detection uses advanced sensors to monitor the road ahead, identifying potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians. When the system detects an imminent collision risk, it provides visual and audible warnings while simultaneously pushing the accelerator pedal up. If you release the accelerator, the system applies partial braking. In emergency situations where you don’t respond quickly enough, the system can automatically apply full braking force to help avoid or mitigate the impact.

Predictive Forward Collision Warning

Going beyond standard forward collision systems, the QX60’s Predictive Forward Collision Warning represents a world’s-first technology. This innovative system doesn’t just monitor the vehicle directly in front of you—it tracks the vehicle two cars ahead. By analyzing the relative velocity and distance of both vehicles, the system can alert you to sudden braking situations before they become visible to you, providing precious extra seconds to react. This is especially valuable in Colorado’s heavy traffic conditions where sudden stops can occur without warning.

Rear Automatic Braking

Parking lots from Cherry Creek Shopping Center to the outlets in Castle Rock can be challenging to navigate. The QX60’s Rear Automatic Braking system monitors the area behind your vehicle when reversing, detecting stationary objects or approaching vehicles. If a collision is imminent and you haven’t applied the brakes, the system automatically engages to help prevent or reduce the severity of a backing collision.

Lane Safety Technologies

Lane Departure Warning and Prevention

Colorado’s highways, particularly during winter weather conditions, require consistent lane discipline. The QX60’s Lane Departure Warning system alerts you with visual and haptic feedback through the steering wheel if the vehicle begins to drift from its lane without a turn signal activated. The available Lane Departure Prevention technology goes a step further by providing gentle steering corrections to help guide you back to the center of your lane, preventing unintended lane departures that could lead to accidents.

Blind Spot Warning and Intervention

Merging onto I-25 or changing lanes on Highway 24 becomes significantly safer with the QX60’s standard Blind Spot Warning system. Using radar technology, the system continuously monitors the areas alongside and slightly behind your vehicle—zones that are difficult to see with mirrors alone. When a vehicle enters your blind spot, an indicator illuminates in the corresponding side mirror. If you activate your turn signal while a vehicle is in your blind spot, the warning becomes more pronounced.

The available Blind Spot Intervention system adds an active safety layer. If you begin to change lanes while a vehicle occupies your blind spot, the system can apply gentle braking to the opposite side of the vehicle, helping to guide you back toward the center of your lane and prevent a potential collision.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

When backing out of parking spaces in crowded Colorado shopping centers or ski resort lots, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system proves invaluable. It monitors for vehicles approaching from either side behind your QX60, alerting you to traffic you might not be able to see due to adjacent vehicles or other obstructions.

Advanced Vision and Camera Systems

3D Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection

New for 2026 and standard on LUXE grade and above, the 3D Around View Monitor revolutionizes parking and low-speed maneuvering. This sophisticated system uses multiple cameras positioned around the vehicle to create a virtual 360-degree bird’s-eye view displayed on the center touchscreen. With eight fixed viewing angles, you can see obstacles and tight spaces from multiple perspectives, making parallel parking on Tejon Street or navigating tight mountain parking areas significantly easier.

The Moving Object Detection feature adds another layer of awareness by identifying and highlighting moving objects—such as pedestrians, shopping carts, or other vehicles—within the camera’s view, helping you avoid potential collisions in busy parking environments.

Invisible Hood View

Unique to the 2026 model year, the Invisible Hood View uses advanced image processing to create a virtual transparent view of what’s directly in front of and underneath the vehicle. This feature is particularly useful when approaching curbs, parking blocks, or aligning your wheels at an automatic car wash—situations where Colorado’s winter weather can make visibility challenging.

Front Wide View Camera

The new Front Wide View camera provides an expanded perspective of the area ahead of your vehicle, particularly helpful when exiting parking spaces, navigating narrow mountain roads, or approaching intersections with limited sightlines.

Smart Rearview Mirror

The available Smart Rearview Mirror offers an innovative solution to obstructed rear visibility. When third-row passengers or cargo block your traditional rearview mirror view, simply flip the switch to activate a high-definition, wide-angle camera feed. This provides an unimpeded view of the road behind you regardless of what’s inside the cabin, maintaining situational awareness in all loading configurations.

Structural Safety and Design

The 2026 QX60’s safety story begins with its foundational structure. The vehicle’s body utilizes high-strength steel in critical areas, creating a protective safety cage around the passenger compartment. During the IIHS crash tests, the QX60 demonstrated excellent occupant protection, with the structure maintaining its integrity even in severe impact scenarios.

The front-end structure is specifically engineered to absorb and dissipate crash energy, directing forces away from the passenger compartment. This crumple zone design, combined with strategic reinforcements throughout the body, helps minimize the forces transmitted to occupants during a collision.

Advanced Airbag System

The QX60 features a comprehensive airbag system that includes dual-stage front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted side-curtain airbags that extend protection to all three rows of seating. The head restraints and seats are specifically designed to minimize whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions, an important consideration given Colorado’s often-congested highways.
