Overview

  • The QX65 Monograph previews a near-production two-row fastback crossover based on the QX60 and will be built in Smyrna, Tennessee with a 2.0-liter turbo engine producing about 268 hp.
  • The QX80 Track Spec concept boosts the standard twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 to over 650 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque through upgraded turbochargers, intercooler and exhaust without altering engine internals.
  • The QX80 Terrain Spec concept features raised suspension, all-terrain tires, fender flares, limb risers and a rooftop tent to showcase factory-backed overlanding capability.
  • Infiniti will hold all-retailer meetings in Las Vegas on August 19–20 to gather dealer input and accelerate select styling, accessories or engineering elements under its fast-to-market approach.
  • After a 9% drop in U.S. sales and tariff-driven pauses for Mexico-built models, Infiniti is prioritizing the U.S. market with plans for one new product per year to regain relevance.
