The originator of the coupe SUV is back to challenge its successors.

The 2027 Infiniti QX65 grows the brand's lineup by 25% in one fell swoop, introducing a fifth model. Built on the three-row QX60's platform but with style and a value proposition that are both very much its own, the QX65 blends a striking fastback silhouette with a peppy drive and a compelling slate of standard equipment. Infiniti certainly could have picked an easier market segment to target, but it seems they didn't need to.

Verdict: The Infiniti QX65 isn't perfect, but it more than justifies its existence in the crowded and highly competitive luxury crossover space. For the right buyer, the QX65 absolutely nails a combination of style and substance that wasn't previously available.
