Blending Coupe-Style Design With Everyday Practicality in the 2027 INFINITI QX65

A two-row luxury SUV shouldn’t force a trade-off between good looks and a usable trunk. The 2027 Infiniti QX65 is Infiniti’s answer to that tension, and it’s worth a look for Quebec shoppers who want a distinctive shape without giving up weekly practicality.

This piece breaks down where the QX65 earns its keep, who it actually fits, and what separates its three grades.

Why The Qx65 Deserves A Look

The QX65 takes visual cues from the INFINITI FX, and it shows in the arching roofline that sweeps back toward a crisp rear spoiler. Wheels pushed to the corners and a wide track give it a planted stance rather than a delicate one.

A long, fastback roofline like this usually comes at the cost of headroom or cargo room. The QX65 doesn’t ask for that trade: it’s built and marketed as a two-row luxury SUV first, a design statement second. The cargo area, seating, and drivetrain all point toward daily usability, not a lifestyle piece meant to sit still.

Under the hood is a 2.0L Variable Compression Turbo four-cylinder engine producing 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard paddle shifters. The transmission is tuned with a sportier shift schedule for quicker off-the-line response, and a drive mode selector (Standard, Sport, Eco, Tow, Snow, Off-Road) lets a driver match the character to the commute or the weather. Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive backs that up with steady traction through Quebec’s mixed-weather months.

Strengths That Matter To Shoppers

• Cargo that works: 1,014 L behind the second row grows to 1,917 L with the seats folded, and the second row also slides and reclines so a driver can favour legroom or cargo space on any given trip.
• Towing for gear, not just groceries: a 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) towing rating when properly equipped covers a small trailer, a couple of snowmobiles, or a boat for the cottage.
• A cockpit built around two screens: dual 12.3-inch displays (instrument cluster and infotainment) come standard on every grade, running Google built-in with Google Maps, Google Assistant, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto.
• Driver-assist coverage as standard: Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention, Lane Departure Prevention, and ProPILOT Assist come on every grade, with SPORT and AUTOGRAPH adding 3D Around View Monitor, Front Wide View, and Invisible Hood View for parking and low-speed manoeuvring.

Who It Fits Best

The QX65 is aimed at a two-row household that still wants distinctive design: a couple or small family who values curb appeal but needs the SUV to earn its space in the driveway. Front-row legroom of 44.2 in (1,123 mm) and second-row legroom of 35.7 in (906 mm) leave room for adult passengers on longer drives, not just kids in car seats.

It suits someone who tows occasionally rather than constantly: a 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) rating handles a light trailer or watercraft without pushing into heavy-duty territory. And it fits a shopper who wants Google’s mapping and voice assistant built into the dash rather than relying entirely on a phone mount.

It’s a weaker match for anyone who needs three rows or maximum second-row headroom; the fastback roofline does taper the rear glass, and second-row headroom sits at 36.9 in (938 mm), noticeably tighter than the front row’s 40.6 in (1,030 mm).

Choosing Between Luxe, Sport, And Autograph

LUXE is the practical entry point: standard 20-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, an 11-speaker audio system, and TailorFit-appointed seats. It carries every core safety feature and the dual-screen cockpit, making it the grade for a buyer who wants the QX65’s shape and tech without chasing every option.

SPORT layers on visual attitude, gloss black exterior accents, unique 20-inch wheels, and a 16-speaker Klipsch Premium audio system, along with a 10.8-inch colour head-up display and cooled front seats. It also keeps TailorFit-appointed seating rather than leather, so the upgrade here is more about design and tech than cabin material.

AUTOGRAPH is where the cabin changes character: semi-aniline leather seats with asymmetrical diagonal quilting, open-pore wood-toned accents, massaging front seats, and a 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system with 1,200 watts of power. It’s the grade for a buyer who wants the QX65’s design language matched by the richest available materials, and it’s the only grade offering ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for hands-off highway driving in certain conditions.

Seeing The Qx65 In Pointe-Claire

The 2027 QX65 pairs a fastback silhouette with a cabin that folds, slides, and hauls for actual weekly use, not just a showroom pose. Between the three grades, there’s a practical entry point and a materials-forward flagship, with a clear middle step between them.
