What Engine and Performance Specs Power the 2027 INFINITI QX65 Sport?

Under the hood, the 2027 INFINITI QX65 SPORT features a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine delivering 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. Power transfers through a 9-speed automatic transmission paired with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, yielding an EPA rating of 20 city / 26 hwy MPG. When fitted with the factory towing package, maximum towing capacity reaches 6,000 lb.

The variable-compression turbocharged powertrain dynamically adjusts its compression ratio between 8.0:1 for maximum performance and 14.0:1 for enhanced fuel efficiency. This mechanical adaptability allows the engine to respond instantly when calling for passing power on highway entrance ramps while maintaining composed efficiency during steady-speed cruising.

The vehicle rides on an independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension, shared across the QX65 lineup, that balances composed handling with ride comfort over uneven pavement. Driver-selectable drive modes, including Standard, Sport, Eco, Tow, Snow, and Off Road, tailor throttle response, transmission shift points, and steering effort to match varied driving environments.

• Engine type: 2.0-liter VC-Turbo inline 4-cylinder
• Output: 268 hp @ 5,600 rpm / 286 lb-ft torque @ 4,400 rpm
• Drivetrain: Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with 9-speed automatic transmission
• EPA estimated fuel economy: 20 city / 26 hwy MPG
• Maximum tow rating: 6,000 lb with factory hitch member

Does the QX65 Sport Share Its 9-Speed Transmission with the QX60?

Yes, the 2027 INFINITI QX65 SPORT shares its 9-speed automatic transmission with the three-row QX60 luxury crossover. Both vehicles utilize the same electronically controlled transmission architecture and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, though INFINITI tuned the QX65 for more responsive acceleration and bolder torque delivery to match its sportier character.

Buyers comparing two-row and three-row luxury crossovers on our floor usually ask whether the lower roofline affects power delivery before taking a test drive; the QX65 uses the same 268-hp VC-Turbo powertrain as the QX60, with tuning aimed at quicker, more confident acceleration. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters come standard on the SPORT trim, as on every QX65 grade, giving drivers manual control over gear selection when navigating winding rural backroads or descending steep grades.

The 9-speed unit replaces the continuously variable transmission used in the first-generation QX60, providing discrete gear ratios that deliver crisp gear shifts and quiet low-rpm highway cruising. Combined with drive mode select, the transmission adjusts its shift timing to hold gears longer in Sport mode or upshift early in Eco mode.

Drivers traveling between highway corridors and the equine countryside around Lexington benefit from this wide ratio spread, which maintains effortless highway speed while retaining responsive low-speed torque for rolling topography.

For drivers considering pre-owned alternatives or comparing model generations, our team can also walk you through our current pre-owned luxury vehicle selection.

How Much Rear Legroom and Cargo Space Does the 2027 INFINITI QX65 Offer?

The 2027 INFINITI QX65 provides 35.7 inches of second-row legroom and 35.8 cu ft of dedicated rear cargo volume behind the second row. By focusing strictly on a two-row cabin configuration, the QX65 prioritizes adult passenger comfort in both seating rows alongside generous cargo capacity under its sweeping rear hatch.

Second-row passengers benefit from rear seats with reclining backrests that slide fore-and-aft to balance legroom with cargo needs, though taller riders should note that the sloping fastback roofline trims some rear headroom compared with the three-row QX60. Under-floor storage compartments behind the second row keep smaller items organized and secured out of sight.

When maximum hauling capacity is required, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats fold flat to expand total cargo capacity significantly beyond the standard 35.8 cu ft. Wide rear door openings and a low liftover height make loading bulky luggage, golf bags, or outdoor gear straightforward.

• Second-row legroom: 35.7 inches
• Standard rear cargo capacity: 35.8 cu ft
• Seating total: 5 passengers across 2 rows
• Rear seat configuration: 60/40 split-folding with recline and slide adjustments

If you plan to upgrade from your current vehicle to a two-row luxury crossover, you can value your trade online to see estimated market equity toward your purchase.
