Grand Central Terminal in our home city of Manhattan came alive ahead of the New York International Auto Show—not with passing train riders, but with the reveal of something truly special from Infiniti. With help from Julian Edelman and Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski, Infiniti pulled the wraps off the all-new QX65, a stylish two-row midsize luxury SUV that signals a major leap forward in the brand’s design.
The 2027 QX65, shown here in sporty, dynamic form and finished in striking Sunfire Red, features paint that sparkles with real gold-coated glass flecks—something photos can’t fully capture. The QX65 blends bold design with a thoughtfully crafted interior and delivers a responsive, confident driving experience.
“The all-new 2027 Infiniti QX65 accelerates Infiniti into its next era, building on an impressive heritage of standout design language, luxurious client experiences, and refined driver performance,” said Eric Ledieu, Vice President of INFINITI Americas.
Each version of the 2027 Infiniti QX65 has its own distinct visual personality. The QX65 SPORT makes an aggressive impression with a sportier front grille, unique 20-inch wheels, a graphite headliner, and gloss black carbonite interior trim. Exterior accents—including the window trim, roof rails, door trim, rear bumper protector, and badging—are all finished in gloss black.
The QX65 AUTOGRAPH showcases the best of Infiniti craftsmanship. Its exterior features satin chrome window surrounds, 21-inch machined-finish alloy wheels, and a black-painted roof. Inside, the cabin is elevated with open-pore wood-toned accents, a quilted dashboard, and semi-aniline leather seats with an asymmetrical diagonal quilting pattern inspired by the layered folds of a kimono. For added comfort, the front seats include a massaging function.
The 2027 Infiniti QX65 also features dual 12.3-inch displays with Google built-in, including Google Assistant, along with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Two available Klipsch premium audio systems deliver immersive sound: the SPORT model includes a 16-speaker Klipsch Premium system with 600 watts of power, an 8-inch TriPower® subwoofer, and 1-inch titanium dome tweeters, while the AUTOGRAPH model upgrades to a 20-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere system with 1,200 watts of power. The AUTOGRAPH trim also features Individual Audio, which uses headrest speakers for the driver and front passenger to tailor music or phone conversations to each occupant.
