Overview
- Multiple first-drive reviews published Wednesday detail Infiniti’s new two-row QX65, with U.S. prices starting at $55,535 and dealer arrivals expected in early summer.
- The QX65 shares its platform and 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine with the QX60, making 268 hp and 286 lb-ft through a 9-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive, with seating for five.
- Reviewers praise the cabin and looks but report heavy steering, occasional transmission hesitation from a stop, and intrusive fake engine noise in Sport mode.
- Standard tech includes dual 12.3-inch screens, Google built in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Qi2 wireless charger, with available Klipsch audio, 35.8 cu ft of cargo space, and a 6,000-pound tow rating.
- The SUV is built in Smyrna, Tennessee, and Infiniti says it will cover Canada’s 25% import tariff at launch as it uses the QX65 to help jump-start a broader brand refresh.
