As the popularity of coupe-style SUVs continues to rise in the North American market, Infiniti, Nissan’s premium brand, has introduced an exciting new model — the QX65. This coupe-style SUV, set to replace the QX55, is being touted as a more luxurious and high-end option, creating a significant buzz among enthusiasts. Renderings and spy shots of the 2026 model have been circulating online, sparking widespread excitement.
A Bold, Striking Design with Split Headlamps
Based on recent spy shots and rendered images, the design of the QX65 exceeds expectations. The front of the vehicle features Infiniti’s latest design language, with the split-headlamp setup, a hallmark of the larger QX80 SUV. The top section of the headlamps features sleek, sharp LED daytime running lights, while the lower section showcases vertically arranged headlights that create a bold and dynamic presence.
The front grille is commanding, with a massive black grille enhancing the vehicle’s aggressive look. Moving to the side, the coupe-style SUV is defined by a roofline that slopes downward gracefully, while sharply defined character lines emphasize its athletic, dynamic stance. The overall design balances soft curves with bold, straight lines, giving it a harmonious yet striking appearance.
The QX65’s rear also receives significant praise. A roof spoiler seamlessly integrates into the rear window, and the vehicle features a horizontal light bar and slim rear lamps, blending luxury and dynamism.
A Luxurious Interior, but Domestic Launch Remains Uncertain
While the interior of the QX65 has yet to be officially revealed, it can be inferred from the recently tested QX60 facelift model. The QX65 is expected to share the QX60’s interior layout, including a dual 12.3-inch digital display. The infotainment system will likely feature the latest user interface, enhanced voice recognition, and improved connectivity options, bringing a modern touch to this high-end SUV.
Under the hood, the QX65 is expected to be powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, similar to the one recently introduced in the Nissan Murano. This engine generates 268 horsepower and 39.5 kg·m of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for a balance of efficiency and performance. There are also rumors that the QX65 could offer Nissan’s hybrid e-Power or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options in the future.
