Real Gold.
In the Paint.

Sunfire Red is the most technically complex paint INFINITI has ever produced at this price point. INFINITI Head of Design Taisuke Nakamura: "a very emotional red with a hint of gold sparkles" — with genuine gold adding "a unique richness and the powerful presence QX65 deserves."

Nine exterior colors available. Seven offered with a contrasting black roof two-tone option — a combination unavailable on the Lexus RX or Genesis GV80.

Red Ground Coat

A deep crimson base layer providing the chromatic foundation — visible at low light and oblique viewing angles.

Gold-Fleck Mid-Coat

A transparent layer carrying genuine gold-coated glass particles — microscopic flecks that catch direct light and scatter it in organic, unpredictable patterns.

Clear Protective Topcoat

A hardened clear seal locks the gold particles in place and protects against UV degradation, maintaining depth and brilliance over years of Northeast Ohio winters.

9 Colors · 7 Available Two-Tone

Sunfire Red leads the palette. The Autograph also offers Vermillion Red leather interior — for a full red-on-red specification.

VC-Turbo.
Variable. Confident. Quick.

INFINITI's Variable Compression Turbo engine dynamically shifts its compression ratio between 8:1 (performance) and 14:1 (efficiency) depending on demand — producing 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder. EPA estimates: 20 city / 26 hwy / 22 combined.

For the QX65, INFINITI uniquely tuned the 9-speed automatic with a sportier, more aggressive shift schedule than the QX60 — crisper gear changes and a stronger off-the-line boost. Active Noise Cancellation silences road intrusion. Active Sound Enhancement enriches cabin acoustics with amplified engine harmonics through the Klipsch® speakers.

Design Philosophy

Ma.
Space
as
Luxury.

In Japanese aesthetics, ma (間) is the art of meaningful space — the intentional pause that gives form its soul. Every QX65 surface is shaped by this principle. The fastback roofline sweeps from A-pillar to tail in a single unbroken arc. The rear wiper disappears inside the spoiler. The bamboo-forest grille uses diagonal geometry that reads as both athletic and refined.

At 198.5 inches, the QX65 is the longest vehicle in its class — yet its low height (69.7 in.) and wide stance pin it visually to the road. Jet-inspired full-width LED taillights create visual width. The AUTOGRAPH's black-painted roof and satin chrome accents sharpen the fastback silhouette further. This is the only vehicle in its competitive set that looks definitively, unmistakably like a coupe from every angle.

Digital Piano Key LED

INFINITI's signature front array — 14 individual LED elements that sequence on startup in a ceremony of light before every drive. Each element is proportioned like a key on a concert piano in polished ebony.

Bamboo Forest Grille

The three-dimensional front grille draws from the cross-hatched precision of a bamboo forest — diagonal lines referencing both structural strength and the organic elegance of one of Japan's most revered natural materials.

Hidden Rear Wiper

Concealed within the rear spoiler — an invisible functional element that preserves the QX65's clean fastback silhouette in all conditions, including Northeast Ohio's winter driving season.

Fastback 2-Row Coupe

Not a 3-row SUV in a coupe disguise. An uncompromised 2-row luxury fastback — the roofline is not a styling flourish but a structural commitment to the vehicle's identity.

Autograph Interior

A Cabin Designed
Like a Sanctuary.

The Autograph grade's semi-aniline leather seats carry an asymmetrical diagonal quilting pattern directly inspired by the layered folds of a kimono. It's not a standard diamond grid — it's asymmetric, organic, and a deliberate cultural reference that rewards close attention.

Open-pore wood-tone accents, a quilted dashboard, and illuminated kick plates complete a cabin that feels closer to a private lounge than a traditional SUV. Ambient lighting spans 64 colors across four Japanese season-inspired presets: Cherry Blossom, Summer Bamboo, Autumn Maple, and Winter Snow.

Zero Gravity-designed seats — standard front and rear on all trims — reduce spinal pressure on long drives. The Lexus RX and Lincoln Nautilus offer no rear-row Zero Gravity equivalent.

◈

Zero Gravity Seats — Both Rows

Standard on all QX65 trims. Front and rear. Lexus RX and Lincoln Nautilus offer no rear equivalent.

◎

Kimono-Quilted Leather

Semi-aniline leather with asymmetric diagonal stitching. An Autograph-exclusive cultural reference to folded kimono fabric.

◉

64-Color Ambient Lighting

Four Japanese season presets plus full custom control — setting the mood of the QX65 cabin as precisely as the music.

◈

Massaging Front Seats

Autograph grade — reducing driver fatigue on drives from Cleveland to Columbus, Pittsburgh, or Detroit.

◎

Sliding / Reclining 2nd Row

The rear bench slides, reclines, and folds flat — 67.7 cu. ft. of load floor when needed.

◉

Quilted Dashboard

The dashboard itself is quilted on Autograph — a detail typically found in vehicles costing significantly more.

Concert-Grade Sound

Klipsch® Reference
Premiere Audio.

Every QX65 includes Klipsch® audio. The Sport upgrades to 16 speakers at 600 watts — including an 8-inch TriPower® subwoofer and 1-inch titanium dome tweeters. The Autograph escalates to the full 20-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere at 1,200 watts.

The Autograph's class-exclusive Individual Audio routes separate audio sources to each front occupant via dedicated headrest speakers. The driver takes a phone call through their headrest. Passengers hear music through the main system. No Lexus, Lincoln, or Genesis competitor offers this.

The Lineage

Spiritual Heir to the
Legendary FX.

In 2003, the INFINITI FX didn't join a trend — it created one. A low, aggressive fastback body on a crossover platform, years before BMW launched the X6 or Mercedes built the GLE Coupe. The FX embodied what INFINITI called the "bionic cheetah" — a predator at rest, not a practical appliance.

Two decades later, with the luxury market crowded by imitators, INFINITI returns with the vehicle it always should have built. The 2027 QX65 is the FX's direct philosophical heir — the same refusal to compromise sport for utility, the same fastback stance, the same belief that a luxury crossover should make you feel something before you ever turn the key.

Unveiled at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, the QX65 is the first fully new INFINITI nameplate in years. It is built in Smyrna, Tennessee, and arriving at INFINITI of Beachwood, Summer 2026.

2003

INFINITI FX35/FX45 debuts. Invents the coupe-crossover segment before BMW, Mercedes, or Porsche.

2009

Second-gen FX launches — "bionic cheetah" design language at its most fully realized.

2014

FX rebadged as QX70. The fastback spirit lives on in a transitional era.

2017

QX70 discontinued. The segment INFINITI invented goes unchallenged by its founder.

2026

QX65 revealed at New York International Auto Show. The fastback returns — starting at $53,990.

Common Questions

2027 QX65 — Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2027 INFINITI QX65 have a third row?+

No. The 2027 INFINITI QX65 is a dedicated 2-row, 5-passenger luxury fastback crossover coupe. There is no third-row option at any trim level. The QX65's fastback roofline is engineered for the 2-row configuration — it produces 35.8 cu. ft. of cargo space (vs. the Lexus RX's 29.6), 44.2 inches of front leg room (best in class), and the coupe silhouette that defines the vehicle's identity. INFINITI's 3-row offering remains the QX60.

How much can the 2027 INFINITI QX65 tow?+

The 2027 QX65 is rated to tow up to 6,000 lbs when properly equipped — far exceeding the Lexus RX (3,500 lbs) and the Lincoln Nautilus (1,750 lbs). It uses a Class III standard tow hitch receiver with 7-pin wiring. Sport and Autograph trims offer an available tow package with Trailer Sway Control. The QX65 is capable of hauling a full-size boat, horse trailer, or large camper without stepping up to a full-size SUV.

Where can I buy the 2027 INFINITI QX65 near Cleveland?+

Is the 2027 QX65 the successor to the INFINITI FX?+

Yes. The 2027 QX65 is the spiritual successor to the legendary INFINITI FX (2003–2017). The original FX35/FX45 invented the coupe-crossover segment in 2003 — years before BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Porsche entered the space. INFINITI discontinued the FX lineage in 2017. The QX65, revealed at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, revives that philosophy: a bold fastback roofline over a practical crossover, now updated with Google Built-In, dual 12.3" displays, and Klipsch® Reference Premiere audio. Starting at $53,990.

How does QX65 cargo space compare to the Lexus RX?+

The 2027 QX65 offers 35.8 cu. ft. behind the rear seats — 21% more than the Lexus RX's 29.6 cu. ft. With seats folded, the QX65 expands to 67.7 cu. ft. (vs. the RX's 46.2). The QX65 also has best-in-class front leg room at 44.2 inches (RX: 41.1 in.) and the longest body in its class at 198.5 inches — despite its sportier roofline.

What is the INFINITI of Beachwood Care4 Initiative?+

The Care4 Initiative is INFINITI of Beachwood's exclusive QX65 ownership program for Cleveland-area clients. It includes complimentary scheduled maintenance, loaner vehicles during service visits, and a dedicated client advisor available 7 days a week. Combined with INFINITI's standard Premium Care program (3 years / 22,500 miles of included maintenance), QX65 ownership at INFINITI of Beachwood delivers a hassle-free ownership experience that surpasses what Lexus or Lincoln offer in Northeast Ohio.
