INFINITI QX65: Everything You Need to Know

The INFINITI QX65 is the most anticipated new model INFINITI has launched in years — and it's arriving now at INFINITI of Akron. If you've been following its reveal and want a complete picture of what it is, how it differs from the QX60 and QX55, and whether it's right for your family, this is the guide.

What the QX65 Actually Is

The QX65 is INFINITI's answer to a question the lineup has left open: what if you want three rows of seating without a conventional, upright SUV silhouette? The QX55 solved the design problem at two rows. The QX65 solves it at three.

The exterior is unmistakably different from the QX60 — more sculpted, with a fastback roofline influence that sweeps dramatically toward the rear. It's the most visually distinctive three-row luxury SUV currently available. Whether that's a feature or a trade-off depends on how much the vehicles you drive every day on Summit County and Stark County roads look the same to you.

QX65 Specs & Features

• Seating: Three rows, up to 7 passengers (captain's chairs available on AUTOGRAPH for 6-passenger configuration)
• Infotainment: Standard 12.3-inch Google Built-In touchscreen — Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Play Store native to the vehicle
• Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on all trims
• Safety: Full ProSAFE suite standard — automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert
• AWD: Available Intelligent AWD across the lineup — actively manages torque distribution for Northeast Ohio winter driving
• Audio: Available Klipsch reference audio system on AUTOGRAPH trim
• Seating (AUTOGRAPH): Available massaging front seats, available second-row captain's chairs
• Interior (AUTOGRAPH): Semi-aniline leather, open-pore wood trim, ambient lighting

QX65 vs QX60: Which Should You Buy?

This is the most important question for most buyers considering the QX65. Here's the honest comparison:

Choose the QX65 if:

• You want a three-row vehicle that looks unlike any other three-row luxury SUV on the road
• Visual distinction matters to you — you're tired of the identical-crossover problem
• Your passengers are primarily children or you use the third row less frequently, so the slightly reduced headroom compared to the QX60's taller roofline is acceptable
• You've been waiting specifically for this model

Choose the QX60 if:

• Adults ride in the third row regularly and maximum headroom matters
• You prefer the QX60's conventional, upright SUV silhouette
• You want to compare in-stock inventory immediately — the QX60 has a deeper inventory at every INFINITI dealer including INFINITI of Akron

QX65 vs QX55: Not the Same Vehicle

The QX55 is a two-row fastback. The QX65 is a three-row fastback. If you need to carry more than five people or need cargo flexibility that a true third row provides, the QX55 is not a substitute for the QX65. They share a design philosophy but serve different practical needs.
