The 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH is the brand's range-topping two-row luxury sport crossover, starting at $62,590 and built for design-conscious professionals who want coupe-like fastback style without sacrificing daily practicality. It pairs a 268 hp VC-Turbo 2L engine with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, returns 22 combined MPG, and wraps five passengers in semi-aniline leather with woodgrain trim. Newsweek named it one of the Most Anticipated New Vehicles — 2026.

How Much Does the 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Cost to Own?

The 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH carries a base MSRP of $62,590 with a destination charge of $1,545, bringing the as-delivered starting price to $64,135 before any options. That positions it squarely in the upper-medium luxury crossover segment alongside rivals such as the BMW X6, Genesis GV80 Coupe, and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.

Destination charge $1,545

The in-stock example at Star Infiniti — VIN 5N1AC0JX4VC602361, stock number DT1374 — carries a list price of $66,905, reflecting the addition of the two-tone Deep Emerald/Black Obsidian paint, Black Roof Rail Crossbars, Splash Guards, and the Cargo Package. That specific vehicle gives buyers a ready-to-drive look at how options ladder the final price.

To put the QX65 AUTOGRAPH in context within Infiniti's lineup, it slots between the three-row QX60 family hauler and the full-size QX80 flagship SUV, offering the most driver-focused, style-forward experience of the three. Shoppers who want to dig deeper into the full QX65 model range can research the complete QX65 lineup, or use Star Infiniti's tool to compare Infiniti models side by side before visiting.

For buyers weighing the entire Infiniti portfolio, browsing the full Infiniti lineup is a useful first step. And once you own the vehicle, Star Infiniti's service team — available for everything from routine maintenance to general auto repair — is minutes away at 5733 W Touhy Ave in Niles.

Refined Style That Fits Niles' Upscale Neighborhoods: 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Exterior Design

The QX65 AUTOGRAPH's most immediately striking quality is its fastback roofline — a coupe-inspired silhouette that sets it apart from the boxy crossovers lining most suburban driveways. Kelley Blue Book notes that the QX65 points Infiniti in a new and necessary direction, calling out the European curve along its coupe-like roofline as the vehicle's defining character statement.

The body measures 198.5 inches in overall length, 78 inches wide (86 inches including mirrors), and 69.7 inches tall — proportions that give it a wide, planted stance without becoming unwieldy on residential streets. The 114.2-inch wheelbase contributes to stable, composed road manners, while a ground clearance of 5.9 inches keeps it capable on the occasional uneven surface without compromising the low-slung aesthetic.

Chrome and bright trim accent the side windows, bumpers, and body sides, adding visual polish that complements the upscale streetscapes of tree-lined suburban neighborhoods. The standard roof spoiler, painted front and rear bumpers, and black roof rails complete a cohesive exterior that reads as intentionally premium rather than merely expensive. Buyers can further personalize the look through available paint options including Premium Paint, Two-Tone Paint, Two-Tone + Premium Paint, and Two-Tone + Super Premium Paint — the in-stock Deep Emerald/Black Obsidian two-tone combination being a particularly striking choice. The 21-inch alloy wheels (8.5 inches wide, fitted with all-season tires at a 45-profile) fill the arches cleanly and reinforce the athletic intent of the design. Full LED lighting runs throughout — projector-beam LED headlights with auto high-beam, LED daytime running lights, side indicator LEDs, and LED rear and brake lights — ensuring the QX65 looks as sharp after dark as it does at noon.

All-Wheel Drive Power Built for Weather and Commutes: 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Performance

The QX65 AUTOGRAPH delivers 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque from Infiniti's proprietary VC-Turbo 2L inline-four engine — a variable-compression turbocharged unit that adjusts its compression ratio on the fly to balance performance and efficiency. Maximum power arrives at 5,600 rpm; peak torque comes in at 4,400 rpm, giving the engine a broad, usable powerband that suits both stop-and-go suburban driving and confident highway merging.

Feature Autograph
Engine 2L
Horsepower 268 hp
Torque 286 lb-ft
Transmission automatic 9-speed
Drivetrain All-wheel drive

Power routes through a 9-speed automatic transmission with a steering-wheel-mounted shift lever and available manual mode, providing smooth, unhurried gear changes in everyday driving and quicker, more decisive shifts when the driver demands them. The transmission includes driver-selectable modes that adjust both engine mapping and gearshift character.

The drivetrain is Infiniti's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system — a full-time, automatically managed setup that continuously monitors traction conditions and distributes torque between front and rear axles without requiring driver input. On the flat but frequently slick suburban roads around Niles during Chicago's variable winters, that seamless torque distribution means confident traction whether the road is dry, wet, or lightly snow-covered.

The suspension pairs a front strut setup (independent, coil-sprung, with stabilizer bar) with a rear multi-link independent arrangement — a combination that absorbs road imperfections without the wallowing that undermines driver confidence. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, ABS, brake assist, electronic auto-hold, and hill-hold round out the chassis. Vehicle stability control and electronic traction control add another layer of passive confidence. Descent control and torque vectoring further sharpen the dynamic picture.

To keep the QX65 driving as intended over time, Star Infiniti's technicians can handle wheel alignment service to maintain precise steering geometry. The curb weight of 4,715 lbs and a payload allowance of 1,348 lbs round out the capability profile.

Spacious Luxury for Family Days: 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Interior Comfort

Step inside the QX65 AUTOGRAPH and the cabin immediately communicates its flagship status. Car Confections observes that the interior wraps passengers in rich stitching, warm wood accents, and remarkably soft touchpoints — an assessment backed by the standard semi-aniline leather upholstery, woodgrain trim on the instrument panel and door panels, leather-wrapped gear selector, and alloy accents on the center floor console.

Seating 5
Cargo 35.8 cu ft
Curb weight 4,715 lbs
Payload 1,348 lbs

The 2+3 seating configuration accommodates five passengers in genuine comfort. Front bucket seats offer 6-way power adjustment with full memory (height, reach, recline, and tilt all saved per driver), 2-way electric lumbar support, heating, ventilation, climate control, and a massage function — a combination that transforms a long commute from Skokie into something closer to a spa session. Rear passengers benefit from heated seating, manual recline and slide adjustment, and an asymmetrical folding arrangement that opens up flexible cargo configurations.

Front headroom measures 40.6 inches, rear headroom 36.9 inches. Front leg room reaches 44.2 inches, rear 35.7 inches. Shoulder room spans 60.7 inches up front and 59.6 inches in back — figures that keep adult rear passengers genuinely comfortable rather than merely tolerated. With all seats in place, cargo volume stands at about 36 cu ft; fold the rear seats and that number expands to about 68 cu ft, making it easy to load sports gear, stroller, or weekend luggage for a trip to Golf Mill Park or beyond.

The climate system runs three-zone automatic climate control, with independent rear controls and secondary ventilation vents for rear passengers. Ambient lighting with color selection, illuminated door sill protectors, a panoramic glass sunroof with electric sunshade, and an illuminated logo entry system add the finishing touches that distinguish the Autograph grade from lesser trims.

Connected Tech That Keeps Professionals Powered Through Their Day: 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Infotainment

Two matched 12.3-inch screens — one for the instrument cluster, one for the center infotainment display — define the QX65 AUTOGRAPH's digital cockpit. The instrument cluster is a fully reconfigurable TFT unit; the center screen is a fixed-orientation touchscreen that handles navigation, audio, and connected services. A head-up display projects key driving information onto the windscreen, keeping eyes on the road during navigation or speed monitoring.

Navigation is built in with a 12.3-inch touchscreen interface, 3D mapping, voice guidance, internet-fed traffic data, and over-the-air map updates — all included for 60 months. That means five years of current maps without a dealer visit, which matters for professionals who rely on accurate routing for client meetings or airport runs. Traffic information is also included for 60 months.

Smartphone integration covers both platforms wirelessly: wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard, with indefinite subscription terms (999 months in the catalog data). A Google virtual assistant is built in for hands-free voice commands. Bluetooth connectivity, built-in apps, and an OEM data plan round out the connectivity suite. The Wi-Fi hotspot uses an embedded SIM and includes 3 GB per month for three months.

The audio system fields 20 speakers with a subwoofer and surround sound capability, split across 2 audio zones. Satellite radio comes with a 3-month trial subscription. Two USB charging ports sit up front and two more serve the rear — plus a 12V outlet in the cargo area. A wireless charging pad handles phone top-ups without cables.

Infiniti InTouch Services telematics are included for 12 months and cover remote lock/unlock, vehicle start, speed alerts, geo-fencing, theft alert, vehicle diagnostics, driving history, send-destination-to-car, and location sharing. Remote HVAC control — including heating, cooling, and steering wheel heating — is included for 60 months, so a Skokie commuter can pre-condition the cabin from the office before heading to the parking garage. Over-the-air OS updates keep the system current. To explore the full scope of Infiniti's connected ownership tools, visit the Infiniti connected services page.

Advanced Safety Systems for Peace of Mind in School Zones: 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Safety Features

The QX65 AUTOGRAPH ships standard with 10 airbags — driver and passenger front airbags, front and rear side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, and driver and passenger knee airbags. The optional Autograph Tech Package adds an 11th: a front seats center airbag that deploys between the driver and front passenger to reduce occupant-to-occupant contact in a side impact.

The active safety suite centers on Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection (PFEB), which activates at speeds as low as 3 mph and applies automatic emergency braking, pre-tensions seatbelts, and activates brake lights when a collision threat is detected. The system operates across the full speed range and includes a visual and acoustic warning stage before intervention. For navigating the busy school zones and neighborhood intersections common to Niles and Skokie, that low-speed activation threshold is particularly relevant.

Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) goes beyond a passive warning light — it actively applies corrective steering torque if the driver begins to change lanes into an occupied blind spot, with or without a turn signal. Lane departure warning also activates the brakes to correct unintended drifting.

The Around View Monitor system stitches feeds from front, rear, and side cameras into a 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle's surroundings — standard on the AUTOGRAPH — with Moving Object Detection flagging pedestrians or cyclists approaching from either side while parking. The Tech Package upgrades this to a 3D enhanced view. Front and rear parking sensors complement the camera system with audible proximity alerts.

Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability handles traffic jam duty without driver input. The Autograph Tech Package also adds ProPILOT Assist 2.1, Infiniti's Level 2 hands-on highway automation system that manages steering, acceleration, and braking in a single lane on mapped highways, with active lane control, traffic sign response, highway assist, and traffic jam assist. A driving pattern monitor tracks fatigue indicators and prompts rest breaks.

Additional standard items include ABS with brake assist, electronic auto-hold, hill-hold, stability control, traction control, trailer stability program, automatic hazard lights, and an accident data recorder. ISOFIX child seat anchors are standard at the rear. An emergency call function connects directly to emergency services via the embedded telematics SIM. Keeping the fuel system in top condition also supports safe, reliable performance — Star Infiniti offers fuel system service for owners who want to stay ahead of maintenance.

2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Pricing Breakdown

A realistic budget for the AUTOGRAPH starts at $62,590 plus the $1,545 destination charge — a total of $64,135 before options. The two meaningful packages available at the AUTOGRAPH level are the Autograph Tech Package (code F01) and the Cargo Package (PIO) (code M92), though catalog pricing for both is listed as contact-dealer.

The Autograph Tech Package is the more consequential of the two. It adds a 3D-enhanced Around View Monitor view, a front seats center airbag (bringing the total to 11), ProPILOT Assist 2.1 highway automation, active lane changing, traffic jam assist, highway assist, a driving pattern monitor, trailer preparation, and a trailer stability program. For buyers who commute regularly on I-94 or I-90, that package transforms the AUTOGRAPH into a genuinely semi-automated highway cruiser.

The Cargo Package adds floor covering and a load restraint net — practical additions for buyers who regularly use the full about 68 cu ft of folded cargo space.

On the options side, interior color choices include Vermilion Red Semi Aniline Leather, Stone Grey Semi Aniline Leather, and Graphite Semi Aniline Leather — all premium leather throughout. Exterior paint options include Premium Paint, Two-Tone Paint, Two-Tone + Premium Paint, and Two-Tone + Super Premium Paint. Standalone accessories include Black Roof Rail Crossbars, Splash Guards, an Infiniti Radiant Black Illuminated Cargo Scuff Plates set, and a USB Charging Cable Set. The in-stock unit at Star Infiniti (stock DT1374) lists at $66,905 with the two-tone paint, crossbars, splash guards, and cargo package already added.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH Owners

The 2027 QX65 AUTOGRAPH comes backed by a comprehensive multi-layer warranty. The basic vehicle warranty runs 48 months / 60,000 miles — four years of bumper-to-bumper protection. The powertrain warranty extends significantly further at 72 months / 70,000 miles, reflecting Infiniti's confidence in the VC-Turbo engine and 9-speed transmission. Paint coverage matches the basic warranty at 48 months / 60,000 miles, and corrosion protection runs for 84 months with unlimited mileage. Roadside assistance is included for 48 months with unlimited mileage, so a flat tire or dead battery anywhere in the country is covered for the first four years of ownership.

For owners who want coverage beyond the factory terms, Star Infiniti can walk you through extended warranty options. The Infiniti Premium Care program and Infiniti roadside assistance details are also worth reviewing at purchase time.

Staying current on scheduled maintenance protects both the warranty and the vehicle's long-term reliability. Star Infiniti's service team follows the manufacturer's recommended intervals — you can review the 30/60/90 maintenance schedule online before booking. Common service intervals covered by the Star Infiniti team include AC system service, battery service, brake service, coolant system service, tire service, and transmission service — all performed by factory-trained technicians at 5733 W Touhy Ave in Niles. If you're coming off a previous Infiniti lease, the lease return process at Star Infiniti is straightforward and handled on-site.

Awards, Expert Recognition, and What Industry Reviews Say About the 2027 Infiniti QX65 AUTOGRAPH

Independent recognition from credible third parties helps separate genuine quality from marketing claims. The 2027 Infiniti QX65 earned the designation Most Anticipated New Vehicles of 2026 — Newsweek (2026), placing it among a select group of new vehicles that generated the strongest pre-launch enthusiasm from automotive media and consumers.

AutoWeb notes that the QX65 strikes an excellent balance between comfort and control, highlighting a genuinely luxurious and quiet interior alongside confident handling that makes every drive rewarding. Capital One's automotive team specifically calls out the top-tier AUTOGRAPH's semi-aniline leather seats with an elegant pleated design and dark open-pore wood trim as evidence of a high level of luxury that is immediately apparent inside the cabin. Kelley Blue Book frames the QX65 as pointing Infiniti in a new and necessary direction — a meaningful endorsement given how competitive the coupe-SUV segment has become against the BMW X6, Audi Q8, and Porsche Cayenne Coupe.

At Star Infiniti, customer feedback echoes the same themes. Google Business Profile reviewers consistently highlight professional, attentive service — Jim Vogel called it "quick and professional," and Karin Prangley noted "great communication and quality work."
