Subie upgraded the suspension by installing a Hitachi Astemo Sensitive Frequency Response Damper (SFRD) tuned by STI on the front axle and a differential rear shock tuned by Subaru Tecnica International.

2026 Infiniti QX60 Sport Review: Where It Disappoints in Power and Features 2026 Infiniti QX60 Sport Review: Where It Disappoints in Power and Features While parent company Nissan faces financial challenges, Infiniti is pressing forward with its luxury lineup. Leading the charge is the 2026 Infiniti QX60, which receives a mid-cycle refresh headlined by a new Sport trim and a series of aesthetic and tech enhancements though the update is more evolutionary than revolutionary. Despite the brand’s tight budget, the 2026 model year brings notable changes, starting with the addition of the QX60 Sport, a trim focused primarily on cosmetic upgrades rather than mechanical overhaul. The Sport trim does not bring back the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 that powered pre-2025 models. Instead, Infiniti continues with the turbocharged 2.0L variable-compression four-cylinder engine, producing 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. While down 27 hp from the old V6, it gains 16 lb-ft of torque. Po...
