Shop new INFINITI SUVs at INFINITI of Albuquerque in Albuquerque, NM. Compare QX60, QX65 and QX80 trims, features and towing before you book a test drive.
Shopping for a new INFINITI in Albuquerque means choosing between three genuinely different SUVs rather than sorting through a dozen near-identical options. INFINITI builds SUVs exclusively now, and each of the three occupies its own space: a three-row family crossover, a two-row sportback, and a full-size body-on-frame flagship. This page walks through what separates them, trim by trim, so you arrive knowing which one deserves your test drive.
Two things define the lineup mechanically. The QX60 and QX65 both use INFINITI’s 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine, a variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder that adjusts its compression ratio on the fly to balance efficiency and output. It produces 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque through a nine-speed automatic, and both vehicles tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. All three models require premium unleaded fuel.
The QX80 takes a different path entirely: a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 making 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, mounted in a body-on-frame chassis with available All-Mode 4WD. That construction is why it tows 8,500 pounds where the others stop at 6,000, and why it feels substantially different from behind the wheel.
Across the range, Google built-in is standard, meaning Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Play live natively in the infotainment system rather than requiring your phone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included as well, and ProPILOT Assist driver assistance appears throughout the lineup.
QX60 LUXE. The volume trim of the three-row lineup. Dual 12.3-inch displays with Google built-in, a heated steering wheel and a power panoramic moonroof come standard, and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available if you want it. Seating covers seven with the second-row bench. This is the sensible entry point for a family that needs three rows and does not need the sportier tuning above it.
QX60 SPORT. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive becomes standard here, and the trim adds its own visual treatment along with TailorFit upholstery, including a Dusk Blue interior exclusive to SPORT. Second-row captain’s chairs bring seating to six and open up a walk-through to the third row. Well suited to buyers who want the three-row footprint with more character than the standard car.
QX60 AUTOGRAPH. The top of the three-row range. A 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system, quilted semi-aniline leather, and available climate-controlled and massaging front seats with heated second-row outboard seats put it close to flagship territory in a right-sized package. See every QX60 in stock.
QX65 LUXE, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH. The two-row sportback runs the same three-trim ladder with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive standard on all of them. LUXE pairs the dual 12.3-inch Google built-in displays with an 11-speaker audio system, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH step up to Klipsch premium audio and add the 3D Around View Monitor with Front Wide View camera, and AUTOGRAPH offers ProPILOT Assist 2.1 with hands-free highway driving. Tow packages with trailer sway control are offered on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH. Browse the QX65 lineup.
QX80 LUXE. The flagship’s volume trim, offered rear-wheel drive with All-Mode 4WD available. Dual 14.3-inch displays, tri-zone climate control, wireless charging and a 14-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere system are standard. LUXE also introduces the electronic Dynamic Digital Suspension, which materially changes ride quality, and makes ProPILOT Assist 2.1 available.
QX80 SPORT and AUTOGRAPH. All-Mode 4WD is standard on both. The audio system expands to 24 speakers, and the option set opens up to a color head-up display, a frameless digital rearview mirror, Biometric Cooling, 22-inch wheels and massaging semi-aniline leather front seats. AUTOGRAPH makes ProPILOT Assist 2.1 standard and adds massaging second-row seats and a heated third row. View QX80 inventory.
Buying from the brand’s Albuquerque retailer means the person walking you through the difference between LUXE and SPORT does it every day, and the technician who services the vehicle afterward works on nothing else. We stock across trims rather than clustering on one configuration, which is what lets you actually drive a QX60 and a QX65 back to back instead of imagining the difference.
Drivers come to us from Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and Los Lunas, and we make the distance worth it by handling as much as possible before you arrive. Value your trade-in and apply for financing online, and check the current new vehicle specials before you commit to a configuration.
Every new INFINITI carries a basic limited warranty of four years or 60,000 miles and powertrain coverage of six years or 70,000 miles, with corrosion protection running seven years at unlimited mileage. INFINITI Premium Care adds complimentary scheduled maintenance covering oil and filter changes and tire rotations for the covered period. Our INFINITI service department performs that work here in Albuquerque, and the broader ownership experience covers what else is included.
If a new SUV is not the right fit, our certified pre-owned INFINITI inventory offers warranty coverage of up to six years with unlimited mileage on vehicles that have already taken their first depreciation.
Which new INFINITI has three rows?
Two of them. The QX60 seats up to seven in a midsize crossover package, or six when equipped with second-row captain’s chairs. The QX80 is the full-size option, seating seven with captain’s chairs standard and offering eight-passenger seating on select trims. The QX65 is two rows only.
Which INFINITI tows the most?
The QX80, at up to 8,500 pounds when properly equipped. Its body-on-frame construction and twin-turbo V6 are the reason. The QX60 and QX65 both tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped, which covers most small boats, utility trailers and lighter campers.
What is VC-Turbo and why does it matter?
VC-Turbo is INFINITI’s variable-compression engine technology, used in the QX60 and QX65. The engine changes its compression ratio while running, using a higher ratio for efficiency under light load and a lower one for power under demand. In practice you get four-cylinder efficiency with output closer to a larger engine.
Is all-wheel drive standard?
It depends on the model. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard on every QX65 trim. On the QX60 it is standard on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH and available on LUXE. The QX80 uses All-Mode 4WD, standard on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH and available on LUXE. Given New Mexico winters and unpaved access roads, it is worth specifying.
Can you order a configuration you do not have in stock?
Yes. If the trim, color and equipment combination you want is not on the lot, our vehicle finder service can locate it. Tell us the specification you are after and we will work to source it rather than pushing you toward what happens to be sitting here.
