The QX65 is INFINITI’s newest nameplate, and it is built for drivers who want style first without giving up everyday usefulness. It is a two-row, five-seat sportback SUV with a sleek sloping roofline, standard all-wheel drive and the same VC-Turbo power found in the QX60. At INFINITI of Albuquerque, on Renaissance Boulevard just off I-25, you can see all three QX65 trims and the colors that make them stand out.
Browse the QX65 inventory above, then use the guides below to find the one that fits your commute through the Big I, evenings in Nob Hill and weekend drives up the Turquoise Trail.
A lower, coupe-like roofline, a wide stance and available two-tone paint give the QX65 a look that feels more personal than a typical family SUV. It is the INFINITI for drivers who want people to notice what they pull up in at ABQ Uptown.
Every QX65 comes with AWD, so you get added traction during monsoon downpours, spring dust storms and the occasional snowy morning on the way up to Sandia Park or Cedar Crest.
The 2.0L VC-Turbo engine makes 268 hp and 286 lb-ft through a 9-speed automatic. Turbocharging keeps the power coming at Albuquerque’s roughly 5,300-foot elevation and on the long climb toward Santa Fe on I-25.
When properly equipped, the QX65 tows up to 6,000 lbs, the same rating as the QX60, so a small boat, jet skis or a teardrop camper are still on the table.
The QX65 comes in three trims, all with the same engine and standard AWD. The choice is about comfort, sound and technology.
| Trim | Powertrain | Key Highlights | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| LUXE | 2.0L VC-Turbo, 9-speed, AWD | Panoramic moonroof, dual 12.3-inch displays, power liftgate, heated steering wheel, standard ProPILOT Assist | Drivers who want the QX65 look with a well-equipped cabin |
| SPORT | 2.0L VC-Turbo, 9-speed, AWD | Ventilated front seats, 16-speaker Klipsch audio, 3D Around View Monitor, remote engine start, roof rails | The sweet spot for most buyers |
| AUTOGRAPH | 2.0L VC-Turbo, 9-speed, AWD | 21-inch wheels, semi-aniline leather, massaging front seats, headrest speakers, head-up display, adaptive headlights, available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 | The most luxurious two-row INFINITI for long drives |
The QX65 shares its powertrain with the QX60 but packages it in a smaller, sportier two-row body.
| Spec | INFINITI QX65 | What It Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder | Variable compression balances power and efficiency |
| Horsepower / Torque | 268 hp / 286 lb-ft | Quick merges onto I-40 and Paseo del Norte |
| Transmission | 9-speed automatic | Smooth shifts and relaxed highway cruising |
| Drivetrain | Standard AWD | All-weather traction on every trim |
| Max Towing* | Up to 6,000 lbs | Small boats, toys and compact campers |
| Fuel Economy (EPA est.) | About 22 mpg combined | Comparable to the QX60 with a lighter footprint |
| Seating / Cargo | 5 seats; about 35.8 cu ft behind the second row, about 67.7 cu ft with it folded | Plenty of room for golf bags, ski gear or a big shopping haul |
The INFINITI QX60 uses the same engine and towing rating but adds a third row for up to seven passengers. If you regularly drive more than four people, start there.
The INFINITI QX80 brings a 450-hp twin-turbo V6, up to 8,500 lbs of towing and full-size space for the whole extended family.
The QX50 and QX55 are no longer sold new, and many owners see the QX65 as the natural next step. You can still find them in our pre-owned inventory.
Because the QX65 is new to the lineup, it helps to work with a team that knows it well. We can walk you through the differences between trims, show you how ProPILOT Assist works on a drive down I-25, and explain your QX65 financing and lease options with help from multiple lenders. Check your buying power and value your trade before you visit, or let our Vehicle Finder Service look for the exact color and trim you want.
After you take delivery, factory-trained technicians and INFINITI-specific parts keep your QX65 running well through high-desert heat and dust. Ask about INFINITI Premium Care and INFINITI Connected Services, and schedule service online when it is time.
INFINITI of Albuquerque is at 1234 S Renaissance Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107, just off I-25. Browse the QX65 inventory above and call 505-217-3000 to confirm availability or schedule a test drive.
Both share the 268-hp VC-Turbo engine, 9-speed automatic and 6,000-lb towing rating. The QX60 is a three-row family SUV for up to seven, while the QX65 is a two-row, five-seat sportback with a sleeker roofline and standard AWD. Choose the QX60 for space and the QX65 for style.
No. The QX65 seats five in two rows, which gives rear passengers and cargo more breathing room. If you need a third row, look at the QX60 or the full-size QX80.
Yes. Every QX65 trim comes with AWD. That helps with traction in monsoon rain, wind-blown dust and winter snow in the east mountains.
LUXE is well equipped with a panoramic moonroof and ProPILOT Assist. SPORT adds ventilated seats, Klipsch audio and a 3D Around View Monitor and INFINITI expects it to be the most popular choice. AUTOGRAPH adds semi-aniline leather, massaging seats and a head-up display.
The QX65 sits between compact and midsize, with more room than most compact luxury SUVs and a more stylish shape than a boxy two-row crossover. If you are cross-shopping, a back-to-back test drive with your current SUV is the easiest way to judge the space and ride.
ProPILOT Assist is standard. ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which INFINITI states allows hands-off driving in certain highway conditions, is available as an option. Driver attention is always required.
For many two-row shoppers, the QX65 SPORT is a strong balance of features and value, while the QX60 LUXE suits families who need three rows. Check our current specials and the payment calculator to see how each fits your budget.
