Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood, every 2027 Infiniti QX65 will be powered by an updated version of Nissan/Infiniti's turbocharged 2.0-liter variable compression engine. This powerplant delivers a respectable 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to all four wheels via a standard all-wheel-drive system. Infiniti also states the QX65 is capable of towing up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.
To enhance the driving experience, the QX65 incorporates active noise cancellation technology to minimize road noise, while an Active Sound Enhancement system allows drivers to better appreciate the exhaust note. While previous iterations of this four-cylinder engine have faced criticism for responsiveness, Infiniti assures that this newly massaged version will offer improved performance.
