2027 Infiniti QX65 Revealed: A More Stylish Tow-Row SUV Option
Infiniti has pulled the wraps off the all-new 2027 QX65, a sleek two-row luxury crossover that aims to recapture the bold design spirit that once defined the brand. Drawing heavy inspiration from the iconic FX that earned a cult following in the 2000s, the QX65 features a dramatic fastback roofline, sculpted body lines, and an aggressive front fascia that sets it apart from the more conventional QX60 on which it shares its underpinnings. The new model represents Infiniti's renewed push to compete in the growing luxury coupe-SUV segment dominated by vehicles like the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
Under the hood, the 2027 QX65 is expected to offer a turbocharged four-cylinder engine as standard, with a more powerful twin-turbo V6 option available for buyers seeking greater performance. All-wheel drive is anticipated to come standard across the lineup, paired with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. Infiniti has also hinted at a possible electrified powertrain option down the road, as the brand continues its gradual transition toward electrification in line with parent company Nissan's broader strategy.
Inside, the QX65 promises a driver-focused cockpit wrapped in premium materials, including quilted semi-aniline leather, open-pore wood trim, and a dual-screen infotainment setup running Infiniti's latest software. As a two-row vehicle, the QX65 trades the QX60's third-row seating for a more spacious second row and a significantly larger cargo area beneath its sweeping rear hatch. Advanced driver-assistance features, including Infiniti's ProPILOT Assist 2.0 hands-free highway driving system, are expected to be available across most trim levels.
The 2027 Infiniti QX65 is slated to arrive at dealerships in late 2026, with pricing expected to start in the mid-$50,000 range. Infiniti is betting that the combination of head-turning design, luxury appointments, and everyday practicality will attract buyers who want something more expressive than a traditional boxy SUV. If the QX65 can deliver on the emotional driving experience that made the original FX so beloved, it could mark a significant turning point for a brand that has been searching for its identity in an increasingly competitive luxury market.
