Infiniti's last fastback SUV, the QX70, left the lineup after the 2017 model year. Nearly a decade later, the brand is back in the segment with the all-new 2027 QX65, a two-row coupe-style SUV that slots above the QX60 and takes aim at the BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, and Porsche Cayenne Coupe. Starting at $53,990, the QX65 is built in Smyrna, Tennessee and goes on sale this summer as a 2027 model.
Powertrain
The QX65 uses Infiniti's 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo), the same engine that now powers the QX50, QX55, and QX60. It produces 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic and standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Towing capacity comes in at 6,000 pounds, matching the QX60's rating with the same hardware. The VC-Turbo requires premium fuel and has a 6,000 RPM redline, characteristics that are consistent across the lineup regardless of vehicle size.
Design
Infiniti describes the styling as "Artistry in Motion," built around a sweeping fastback roofline and wide stance. The headline paint option is Sunfire Red, a three-layer finish with genuine gold-coated glass flecks worked into the paint, giving the color a depth that shifts depending on the light.
Interior and Technology
The QX65 carries essentially the same technology package found in the updated QX60: twin 12.3-inch displays with Google Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Qi2-standard wireless charging pad. An optional 10.8-inch color head-up display is available for the driver.
Audio options are a 16-speaker Klipsch system or a 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere setup with individual speakers built into the headrests. Infiniti calls the arrangement Individual Audio and pairs it with a Personalized Sound app that lets each occupant tune the audio to their seating position.
ProPILOT Assist comes standard across both trims, with ProPILOT Assist 2.1 available as an upgrade. Surround visibility features include a 3D Around View Monitor, Front Wide View, and Invisible Hood View. Cargo capacity is 35.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 67.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, which is more usable space than the roofline shape might suggest.
Two Trims
The QX65 launches in two trims: SPORT and AUTOGRAPH. Full equipment details for each trim have not been released, though the AUTOGRAPH is the range-topper with additional luxury content.
