We just watched the first 2027 QX65 units roll onto our lot, and we've been waiting for this one. Glendale INFINITI has carried the QX60 and QX80 for years, but the QX65 is something different: a sporty two-row crossover built for drivers who want the INFINITI badge without the size of a full three-row SUV. If you've been holding off on a test drive because there wasn't a model that fit your daily routine, this might be the one that changes your mind. We'd love nothing more than to hand you the keys and let you feel it for yourself on the roads around Glendale.
What Makes the 2027 QX65 Worth a Test Drive
Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, producing 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. That variable compression technology is one of the more interesting pieces of engineering INFINITI has brought to market, and it's part of what gives the QX65 its responsive feel around town and out on the freeway. All-wheel drive comes standard across every trim, which matters a lot when the QX65 heads up into the canyons around Pasadena or handles a rainy commute through Los Angeles. Fuel economy checks in at 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined, numbers that hold steady across the LUXE, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims we're stocking.
Interior space is another place the QX65 surprises people who assume a two-row crossover means cramped seating. Front leg room measures 44.2 inches and rear leg room comes in at 35.7 inches, with 35.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row for gear, luggage or a Costco run. Every QX65 seats five and includes a panoramic moonroof over both rows, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and standard ProPILOT Assist for hands-on highway driving. Buyers moving up to the AUTOGRAPH trim get quilted semi-aniline leather seating with massaging front seats and heated rear seats, while every trim ships with a three-year INFINITI InTouch service subscription already included.
We know a brand new model raises more questions than a familiar one, and trade-ins and financing are usually the first things on a buyer's mind once the excitement of a new nameplate settles in. Warranty coverage on the QX65 runs 48 months or 60,000 miles on the basic plan and 72 months or 70,000 miles on the powertrain, with roadside assistance included for 48 months and unlimited miles, so you're covered well past the first year of ownership. Towing capacity reaches up to 6,000 pounds, which opens the door for weekend trailers or small boats without needing to step up to a larger SUV.
Schedule Your QX65 Test Drive at Glendale INFINITI
Glendale INFINITI has been recognized as California's number one INFINITI dealer based on 2025 new INFINITI sales in the INFINITI West Region, and we'd like to think our staff's product knowledge on a launch like the QX65 is part of the reason why. Drivers from Los Angeles, Pasadena and the San Fernando Valley have already been calling in to ask when they can get behind the wheel, and units are moving quickly since this is such a new model. Anyone who wants to see the full current lineup side by side can browse our new INFINITI inventory before narrowing things down to the QX65 specifically through our new INFINITI QX65 inventory. For a deeper walk through trims and available features, our INFINITI QX65 research page covers what to expect before you arrive.
Trading in a current vehicle toward the QX65 is simple enough to sort out ahead of time through our trade-in valuation tool, and drivers weighing lease versus purchase can review our breakdown of leasing versus financing before committing to either path. Our finance team accepts all credit types and builds packages for a range of income situations, including self employed buyers, so starting the process through our finance application ahead of a visit tends to save time once you're ready to sign. If you're coming from Santa Monica, Beverly Hills or Hollywood, we're an easy drive out to Glendale and well worth the trip for a car this new.
Stop by 812 S Brand Blvd and take the 2027 QX65 for a spin. We think a few minutes behind the wheel will tell you everything the spec sheet can't.
