The 2022 QX60 will be a ground-up redesign of the brand's three-row SUV complete with more dramatic styling, new powertrains, and a more premium cabin.Infiniti hasn't released pricing information yet, nor has it disclosed the 2022 QX60's available trim levels, standard features, or option packages. Judging by the smaller QX50 and larger QX80's trim levels, the mid-range Essential model will likely offer the best balance of features and value, but we'll update this story with more details once the production model is unveiled.
