The QX 65 Monograph debuted today at The Quail, Monterey Car Week. It carries Infiniti’s signature fastback roof, hinting at stylish coupes of the past. This sweeping profile gives it a dynamic feel, even when it stands still. That link to the old FX is clear, though not as bold. Its stance isn’t as sharp as that RWD coupe, but the curve is elegant nonetheless.
The concept’s satin-finish Twilight paint shifts from red to purple to gold in light. It mimics a fading summer sunset and feels rich in tone and shift. Black and bronze trim accent the paint and add visual depth. Add bold 22-inch wheels and full-length LED lighting, and the look is unforgettable. The grille echoes wind-swept bamboo, wrapped in a layered, three-dimensional pattern. At the rear, segmented taillights with tailfin-like touches nod to aviation and create a striking detail.
Will the INFINITI QX 65 be Reliable?
The QX 65 Monograph rides on the well-known QX 60 platform, so it's not starting from scratch. That gives it a known layout, mechanical parts, and proven ride feel. Expect the same 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, with about 268 horsepower and strong torque. This engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic, and AWD will likely be optional.
Inside, the cabin should mirror the QX 60’s, but with a fresh fastback flair. That roofline likely cuts third-row seating. We expect just two rows with space for five, rather than three rows and seven seats. Cargo space may also be trimmed due to the sloped roofline. That makes sense if the buyers want a sleek ride more than family utility.
A Glimpse into INFINITI’s Design Future
Infiniti unveiled the QX 65 Monograph alongside new QX 80 variants at Monterey Car Week. This concept embraces the "Artistry in Motion" design ethos, with clean lines, a sculpted body, and bold yet refined form. Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti’s global design chief, notes the model blends speed, elegance, and muscle under one fastback roof. It clearly signals that a new visual era is coming. Tiago Castro, Infiniti Americas vice president, calls this a strong sign of the brand's next chapter. The concept will be shown at Pebble Beach after its Quail debut, giving buyers and media a close-up view.
