Overview
- First-drive reviews published Wednesday describe a stylish five-seat crossover slated for early-summer arrival at dealers with a U.S. starting price in the mid-$50,000s.
- Power comes from a 2.0-liter variable-compression turbo four making 268 hp and 286 lb-ft, matched to a nine-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive.
- Three trims—Luxe, Sport, and Autograph—offer dual 12.3-inch displays, available ProPilot driver-assist, a Qi2 magnetic wireless charger, and upscale options like a Klipsch audio system, headrest speakers, semi-aniline leather, and massaging front seats.
- Early impressions praise the design, cabin quality, and space but call the driving character average, and reviewers disagree on whether the loud synthetic engine note in Sport mode can be avoided by switching modes.
- Built in Smyrna, Tennessee, the QX65 lists 35.8 cubic feet of cargo room and a 6,000-pound tow rating, and Infiniti says it will temporarily absorb Canada’s reported 25% import tariff as local pricing is set.
