The Spirit of the FX Returns: Meet the Bold Future of the 2026 INFINITI QX65

Do you remember when the INFINITI FX first hit the streets? It didn’t look like anything else on the road. It wasn’t just an SUV; it was a performance machine with the soul of a sports car. It created the “crossover coupe” segment before that was even a buzzword.
If you’ve been waiting for that level of boldness to return, we have incredible news. Newsweek has officially named the upcoming 2026 INFINITI QX65 one of the “Most Anticipated New Vehicles of 2026.”¹
At Nucar INFINITI of Allentown, we believe this recognition confirms what longtime fans of the brand have been hoping for: the spirit of the FX is coming back, reimagined for a new era of modern Japanese luxury.
A Silhouette That Stands Out on I-78
Let’s be honest—luxury SUVs often start to look the same when you’re cruising through the Lehigh Valley. Boxy shapes and utility-first designs are practical, sure, but they rarely quicken the pulse.
The QX65 is different. Previewed by the stunning QX65 Monograph concept, this two-row midsize crossover features a fastback roofline and an athletic, performance-inspired stance.¹ It is designed for the driver who wants the high riding position of an SUV but refuses to sacrifice the sleek aesthetics of a coupe.
Designers gave the grille a texture inspired by a bamboo forest in a storm, flanked by “digital piano key” lighting that spans the width of the vehicle.² It isn’t designed to blend into the background; it’s designed to turn heads whether you are parking at the Promenade Saucon Valley or heading downtown.
Modern Japanese Luxury: The Concept of “Ma”
While the exterior screams performance, the interior of the upcoming QX65 promises something equally important: serenity.
INFINITI’s design philosophy embraces the Japanese concept of “Ma”—or the mastery of empty space. It’s about minimalism that doesn’t feel cold; it feels open, breathable, and welcoming. In a busy world, your vehicle should be a sanctuary. Whether you are navigating the bustle of Airport Road or taking a scenic drive up toward Jim Thorpe for the weekend, the QX65 is being engineered to provide a sense of calm and “thoughtful hospitality.”¹
Coming Summer 2026
The wait won’t be too long. The 2026 INFINITI QX65 is scheduled to arrive at dealerships in early summer 2026.¹
It’s poised to be a major disruptor in the premium crossover segment, offering a stylish alternative for empty nesters, young professionals, and anyone who loves the drive as much as the destination.

You don’t have to wait until 2026 to experience what INFINITI has to offer. The current lineup, including the stunning QX55 (the spiritual successor to the FX available right now) and the sophisticated QX60, is ready for a test drive at Nucar INFINITI Allentown.
