The All-New 2027 INFINITI QX65 Has Been Revealed — Here’s Everything Colorado Springs Drivers Need to Know

Big news is coming to Red Noland INFINITI, and Colorado Springs luxury SUV shoppers are going to want to pay close attention. INFINITI has officially pulled the wraps off the all-new 2027 INFINITI QX65 — the brand’s boldest, most athletic SUV design in years — and it is headed to our showroom early as summer 2026.

Whether you navigate the I-25 corridor through Colorado Springs every morning, point your SUV toward Pikes Peak on weekends, or tow your gear up to Eleven Mile Reservoir, the QX65 was engineered for exactly the kind of life Coloradans live. This post breaks down everything you need to know: design, performance, technology, safety, trim levels, pricing, and when you can expect to see one on Colorado roads.

“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.” — Eric Ledieu, Vice President, INFINITI Americas

What Is the 2027 INFINITI QX65?

The QX65 is a brand-new, first-ever nameplate from INFINITI — a five-seat, two-row luxury crossover SUV that slots into the lineup with a sport-forward personality distinct from the family-oriented, three-row QX60. Think of it as the SUV for Colorado drivers who want room for adventure gear and passengers without sacrificing the spirited driving dynamics that make mountain roads genuinely fun.

The QX65 is manufactured in Smyrna, Tennessee, and is expected to arrive at INFINITI retailers in early summer 2026, with MSRP starting at $53,990 (before destination and handling).

Key terms defined:

QX65

INFINITI’s all-new first-generation, two-row, five-passenger luxury crossover SUV. Positioned between the QX55 coupe-inspired crossover and the three-row QX60 family SUV in INFINITI’s lineup.

Artistry in Motion

INFINITI’s design philosophy that guides exterior and interior styling across the model lineup, emphasizing emotional, hand-crafted aesthetics over purely functional form.

VC-Turbo (Variable Compression Turbo)

INFINITI’s proprietary engine technology that can continuously vary its compression ratio between that of a high-efficiency engine and a high-performance engine, delivering optimal power and efficiency across driving conditions.

What Makes the QX65 Design Stand Out on Colorado Roads?

Colorado has some of the most visually stunning driving environments in the country — and an SUV that commands the same attention as a Vail valley sunrise doesn’t hurt. The 2027 QX65 was designed with exactly that kind of presence in mind.

 

Built on INFINITI’s Artistry in Motion design language, the QX65 features a dramatic arching roofline that creates an athletic, fastback-inspired silhouette, wide and confident body proportions, precisely sculpted bodysides, and jet-inspired LED taillights that suggest speed even when the vehicle is parked. The stretched arch roofline draws the eye toward a powerful rear stance — bold on Colorado’s mountain backdrop.

The standout color option — Sunfire Red — is genuinely unlike anything else in the luxury SUV segment. It uses real, gold-coated glass flecks embedded in a three-layer paint application that shifts and shimmers with light, inspired by the warm glow of a sunset fading to a dark night sky. Against Colorado’s deep blue skies and snow-dusted peaks, it will be unmistakable.

What Are the Different QX65 Trim Styles?

Each of the three trim levels — LUXE, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH — brings a distinct visual character to the QX65:

Feature	QX65 LUXE	QX65 SPORT	QX65 AUTOGRAPH
Starting MSRP	$53,990	$55,690	$62,590
Wheel Size	Standard alloy	Unique 20-inch wheels	21-inch machined-finish alloy
Exterior Accents	Chrome accents	Gloss black (all trim, emblems, roof rails)	Satin chrome window surround
Roof	Body color	Body color	Black-painted roof
Interior Headliner	Standard	Graphite headliner	Premium
Interior Trim	Standard	Gloss black carbonite trim	Open-pore wood-toned accents
Seat Material	TailorFit® leatherette	TailorFit® leatherette	Semi-aniline leather, kimono-inspired quilting
Massaging Front Seats	Not included	Not included	Included
Dashboard	Standard	Standard	Quilted dashboard
Grille Design	Standard	Sportier front grille	Signature INFINITI grille

MSRP excludes $1,545 destination and handling charge, tax, title, license and options. Retailer sets actual price.

FAQ: Which QX65 trim is right for Colorado drivers?

Q: Which QX65 trim makes the most sense if I drive Colorado mountain roads regularly?
A: All three trims include standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, so AWD capability isn’t a differentiator. If aggressive styling and a sportier aesthetic appeal to you, the SPORT trim’s gloss black accents and unique wheels make a strong impression. If you prioritize the most luxurious interior for long drives to Vail, Aspen, or Telluride, the AUTOGRAPH’s massaging seats, quilted surfaces, and premium audio system make those miles far more enjoyable.

How Does the QX65 Perform in Colorado’s Demanding Conditions?

Colorado demands more from a vehicle than most states. Altitude changes of thousands of feet, unpredictable spring snowstorms on I-70, steep grades on mountain passes, and the need to tow boats, campers, or ATVs make powertrain competence non-negotiable. Here’s how the QX65 delivers.

What Engine Powers the 2027 QX65?

The 2027 QX65 is powered by INFINITI’s proprietary Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engine, producing 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission that has been uniquely tuned for the QX65 — delivering a sportier, more aggressive shift schedule designed for decisive off-the-line performance and confident passing at highway speeds.

The VC-Turbo’s ability to dynamically adjust its compression ratio means the engine can balance efficiency on your daily Colorado Springs commute and performance when you need to merge onto a busy I-25 on-ramp or climb Teller County’s winding roads. An available manual mode with paddle shifters gives drivers direct control for those moments when you want to really engage with the road.

Can the QX65 Handle Colorado Winters?

Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (iAWD) comes on every single QX65 — LUXE, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH alike. There’s no front-wheel-drive base model to navigate around. That means every Colorado driver who pulls a QX65 out of the Red Noland INFINITI lot is already equipped to handle Black Forest roads after a February snowstorm, Monument Hill on I-25 in icy conditions, or the early-season slush that hits Colorado Springs in late October.

Note: Intelligent All-Wheel Drive cannot prevent collisions or provide enhanced traction in all conditions. Always monitor traffic and weather conditions.

How Much Can the QX65 Tow for Colorado Recreation?

The QX65 offers up to 6,000 lbs. of towing capacity when properly equipped — that’s enough for a personal watercraft trailer headed to Dillon Reservoir, a loaded camping trailer bound for South Fork, or a lightweight fishing boat pointed toward Eleven Mile Canyon. The standard setup includes a Class III hitch receiver with a 7-pin wiring harness and pre-wiring.

The SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims can be equipped with packages that add Trailer Sway Control technology — an important safety feature when descending steep Colorado grades with a loaded trailer behind you.

Towing varies by configuration. See INFINITI Towing Guide and Owner’s Manual for additional information. Always secure cargo.

FAQ: Towing in Colorado

Q: Is 6,000 lbs. enough tow capacity for common Colorado recreational uses?
A: Yes, for the majority of Colorado recreational towing needs. Pontoon boats, jet ski trailers, horse trailers (light loads), pop-up campers, small travel trailers, and ATV trailers all typically fall within this range. For very heavy fifth-wheel or large travel trailer towing, a larger platform like the INFINITI QX80 may be a better fit.

What Technology Does the 2027 QX65 Offer?

Colorado drivers spend real time in their vehicles — whether that’s a 45-minute commute from Fountain to Colorado Springs, a three-hour drive to ski Breckenridge, or a weekend road trip through the San Juan Mountains. The QX65’s technology suite is built to make every mile more connected, more entertaining, and more effortless.

What Infotainment and Connectivity Features Come Standard?

Every 2027 QX65 comes equipped with dual 12.3-inch touchscreen displays running Google built-in, including Google Assistant. That means you get full Google Maps navigation with live traffic data — critical on I-70 during ski season — plus access to Google’s app ecosystem without needing to connect your phone.

Standard connectivity features include:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay — no cable required
• Wireless Android Auto — seamless smartphone integration
• Qi2-standard wireless charging pad — charges compatible phones quickly
• 64-color personalized ambient lighting — customize the cabin mood for every drive
• Standard panoramic moonroof — perfect for star-gazing on Colorado’s dark-sky nights outside the city

The AUTOGRAPH trim adds an available 10.8-inch color head-up display and a Smart Rear View Mirror for enhanced rear visibility in traffic or when towing.

FAQ: Technology

Q: Does Google built-in mean I need a subscription?
A: Google built-in requires activation of INFINITI InTouch Services. A trial period is included with a new vehicle purchase or lease; after the trial, a monthly subscription fee applies. Connectivity service is required, and data rates may apply. Check with Red Noland INFINITI at (719) 215-8318 for current trial period details.

What Audio Systems Are Available in the QX65?

INFINITI partnered with Klipsch® — the legendary American loudspeaker brand — to deliver two tiers of audio immersion in the QX65. Whether you’re listening to a podcast on the way to the office or cranking a playlist on the way to Red Rocks (the venue, not just the road), these systems deliver:

Audio Feature	QX65 SPORT	QX65 AUTOGRAPH
System Name	Klipsch® Premium	Klipsch® Reference Premiere
Speaker Count	16 speakers	20 speakers
Total Power	600 watts	1,200 watts
Subwoofer	8-inch TriPower® subwoofer	Premium subwoofer
Tweeter	1-inch titanium dome tweeters	Premium tweeters
Individual Audio Headrests	Not included	Included (driver & front passenger)
Active Noise Cancellation	Available	Included
Active Sound Enhancement	Available	Included
Personalized Sound App	Available	Included

 

The AUTOGRAPH’s Individual Audio system uses dedicated headrest speakers to direct specific audio — music, phone calls, navigation prompts — to each occupant independently. So the driver can take a hands-free call while the front passenger listens to music uninterrupted. On long Colorado road trips, that’s a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.

The Personalized Sound app is another first in the segment: it guides drivers through a brief in-vehicle hearing test and then calibrates the audio system specifically for their ears — inspired by the same concept behind high-end audiophile headphones.

What Interior Space and Comfort Features Does the QX65 Offer for Colorado Families?

The QX65 is a five-passenger, two-row vehicle — sportier and more driver-focused than the three-row QX60 — but it doesn’t sacrifice practicality to achieve that athletic personality.

How Much Cargo Space Does the QX65 Have?

 

Cargo capacity is one of the QX65’s genuine strengths. Despite its fastback roofline, the QX65 delivers competitive utility:

• 35.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the second-row seats in place
• 67.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the second-row seats folded flat
• Underfloor storage for keeping valuables or gear organized and out of sight
• Enough room for two golf bags — great news for Colorado Springs golfers heading to The Broadmoor or Kissing Camels
• Enough room for four suitcases — ideal for family ski weekends at Breckenridge or Copper Mountain

The cabin also offers best-in-class front-row legroom — important for Colorado’s taller-than-average outdoor enthusiasts and for those long drives between Colorado Springs and mountain destinations.

The AUTOGRAPH interior wraps passengers in semi-aniline leather seats with an asymmetrical diagonal quilting pattern inspired by the layered folds of a kimono, a quilted dashboard, and an open-pore wood-toned accent package that gives the cabin a warm, contemporary luxury feel. Front seats also include a massaging function — appreciated on the return leg of a Vail ski day.

What Safety Features Does the 2027 INFINITI QX65 Include?

Safety on Colorado roads means being prepared for sudden weather changes, wildlife crossings, narrow canyon roads, and high-altitude driving conditions. INFINITI has made driver assistance technology generous from the base LUXE trim.

What Safety Technology Is Standard on Every QX65?

• Predictive Forward Collision Warning — monitors the vehicle ahead of the vehicle in front of you for earlier collision alerts
• Blind Spot Warning — alerts drivers to vehicles in adjacent lanes
• Blind Spot Intervention — actively helps steer the vehicle back into the lane if a lane change is initiated with a vehicle in the blind spot
• Lane Departure Prevention — gently steers the vehicle back if it begins to drift from the lane without signaling
• High Beam Assist — automatically switches between high and low beams based on oncoming traffic, helpful on unlit mountain roads
• Rear Parking Sensors — provide audible alerts when backing up
• ProPILOT Assist — hands-on driver assistance for steering, braking, and acceleration in single lanes on compatible roadways

Driver-assist and safety features have limitations. The driver must never rely exclusively on any vehicle feature to warn about, prevent, or lessen the severity of a collision. It is the driver’s responsibility to always be in control, monitor surroundings, and safely operate the vehicle.

What Additional Safety and Camera Features Are Available on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH Trims?

• 3D Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection — provides a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings, helpful in tight parking structures and busy areas
• Front Wide View — expands the camera view ahead when pulling out of parking spots or driveways with obstructed sightlines
• Invisible Hood View — uses image processing to simulate a transparent hood, allowing drivers to see terrain and obstacles at the front of the vehicle
• Smart Rear View Mirror (optional) — replaces the traditional mirror view with a wide-angle camera display
• 10.8-inch color head-up display (optional) — projects navigation and vehicle data onto the windshield

What Is ProPILOT Assist 2.1 and Is It Available on the QX65?

The AUTOGRAPH trim adds the option for ProPILOT Assist 2.1 — INFINITI’s most advanced driver assistance system. On compatible freeway routes, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can handle acceleration, steering, and braking, and when operating in a single lane on a compatible freeway, it allows hands-off driving — provided the driver remains attentive and ready to take manual control at any moment.

For Colorado Springs drivers who regularly make the drive up I-25 to Denver for work or heading west on I-70 toward the ski slopes, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can meaningfully reduce the fatigue of high-traffic freeway driving.

ProPILOT Assist 2.1 requires activation of INFINITI InTouch® Services. A subscription fee applies after the trial period. The driver must remain attentive at all times. Does not function in all weather, traffic, or road conditions.

How Do the 2027 QX65 Trims Compare to Each Other — and to the Competition?

QX65 vs. Key Luxury Crossover Competitors

Feature	2027 INFINITI QX65 LUXE	Acura MDX (Comparable Trim)	Lexus NX 350 (Comparable Trim)
Seating Capacity	5	7 (3-row)	5
Standard AWD	Yes — every trim	Yes — SH-AWD standard	Optional
Engine	268 hp VC-Turbo	272 hp Turbo	275 hp Turbo
Standard Towing	Up to 6,000 lbs.*	Up to 5,000 lbs.	Up to 2,700 lbs.
Standard Panoramic Moonroof	Yes	Optional	Optional
Standard ProPILOT/Driver Assist	Yes — ProPILOT Assist	AcuraWatch standard	LSS+ 3.0 standard
Premium Audio (Top Trim)	1,200W Klipsch® (20 speakers)	710W ELS Studio 3D	Mark Levinson® (17 speakers)
Made in USA	Yes — Smyrna, TN	Yes — Lincoln, AL	No — Japan

*When properly equipped. Towing varies by configuration. Competitor specs are approximate and based on publicly available manufacturer data. Always verify with individual brand resources.

The QX65’s towing advantage over the Lexus NX 350 is particularly notable for Colorado outdoor enthusiasts — a towing rating of 6,000 lbs. vs. 2,700 lbs. is a significant real-world capability difference when you’re heading to Lake Pueblo State Park with a boat.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 INFINITI QX65

Q: Is the 2027 QX65 a replacement for the QX55?
A: No. The QX65 is a new model that adds to INFINITI’s crossover lineup, not a direct replacement. The QX55 is a coupe-inspired crossover; the QX65 is a larger, more utility-focused sport crossover with greater cargo capacity and towing capability.

Q: Does the QX65 come in all-wheel drive only, or is FWD available?
A: Every 2027 QX65 — LUXE, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH — comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. There is no front-wheel-drive option. This makes the QX65 particularly well-suited for Colorado’s year-round driving conditions from the start.

Q: How does the 2027 QX65 cargo space compare to the QX60?
A: Both vehicles offer competitive cargo capacity. The QX65 delivers 35.8 cu ft behind row two and 67.7 cu ft with seats folded. Since the QX60 is a three-row vehicle, it offers more total passenger capacity but may trade off some maximum cargo volume when all rows are in use. The QX65, as a two-row vehicle, offers a cleaner, more accessible cargo area when carrying passengers.

Q: What colors is the 2027 QX65 available in?
A: While the full exterior color palette has not been completely disclosed, confirmed options include the unique Sunfire Red (with real gold-coated glass flecks), and interior color options include Graphite TailorFit® (shown in LUXE), Stone Gray TailorFit® (shown in SPORT), and Vermillion Red (shown in AUTOGRAPH). Visit your Red Noland INFINITI sales team for the most current color availability information.

Q: Is the QX65 built in the United States?
A: Yes. The 2027 INFINITI QX65 is manufactured at INFINITI’s plant in Smyrna, Tennessee.

Q: How does the QX65 panoramic moonroof help with Colorado’s high-altitude environment?
A: Colorado’s clear, high-altitude skies are one of the state’s most celebrated natural features. The QX65’s standard panoramic moonroof brings that expansive sky view into the cabin — whether you’re parked at a trailhead in the Chaffee County mountains or simply enjoying the view of Pikes Peak from your neighborhood. It also allows natural light to flood the interior, enhancing the sense of space.
