Source: INFINITI USA 2027 QX65 and QX60 specifications, checked October 8, 2026. INFINITI publishes one cargo figure for each model and does not label the measurement point, so treat the two cargo numbers as a rough guide and look at both vehicles in person. Towing depends on configuration and equipment.
Who the QX65 suits
The QX65 fits drivers who rarely need more than five seats and want all-wheel drive on every trim. It lists the larger cargo figure of the two, and an 11-speaker audio system on LUXE with Klipsch audio available on higher trims. See the QX65 trims and specs to compare LUXE, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH.
Who the QX60 suits
The QX60 fits families and carpools that need a third row. It seats seven on LUXE, six on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH with second-row bucket seats, and it is the one to look at if you prefer front-wheel drive. See the QX60 trims and specs for the full breakdown.
How to decide
Count how often you carry more than five people, whether you want front-wheel drive as an option, and how you use cargo space. Neither is better for every buyer; the best choice is the one that matches your daily routine. A test drive of both is the fastest way to feel the difference.
