2027 Infiniti QX65 First Drive: What The 0–60 Time Doesn’t Show

Putting the QX65’s powertrain and driving dynamics to the test.

After getting the chance to preview the 2027 Infiniti QX65 last month, I finally got behind the wheel in Nashville. The biggest topic of discussion with this new nameplate is largely the VC-Turbo engine. In this setup, it gets 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. Depending on who you ask, that might not be enough for a two-row SUV, but guess what? I’m here to test it out, and of course, do the classic 0-60 MPH test.

As always, the internet has a lot to say about these numbers. I think there’s a lot more to this luxurious SUV than just straight horsepower.

If you want to see a more comprehensive interior and exterior walkaround of the QX65, check out our First Look video. I touch all the buttons, check out the cargo area, and give you a look at all the cool exterior features.

If you check out either video, let me know what you think!
