DORMANI INFINITI Gatineau
Compare the seating, cargo space, engine, all-wheel drive, technology and towing capacity of these two INFINITI luxury SUVs.
Quick answer
Choose the 2027 INFINITI QX65 if you want a five-passenger luxury SUV with sportier fastback styling. Choose the 2026 INFINITI QX60 if you need three rows, seating for six or seven people and greater family versatility.
Both models use a 2.0-litre VC-Turbo engine producing 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Both can also tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The INFINITI QX65 and INFINITI QX60 share several mechanical and technological features, but they are designed for different types of drivers. The QX65 emphasizes expressive styling, two rows of seating and a cabin designed for five people. The QX60 uses a more traditional SUV shape, adds a third row and offers a configuration better suited to larger families.
For drivers in Gatineau, Ottawa and throughout the Outaouais, the choice depends primarily on how many passengers they regularly carry. Cargo space, exterior design and the way the vehicle will be used should also be considered.

The QX65 stands out with its arching roofline and fastback silhouette inspired by the former INFINITI FX. It maintains the practical proportions of a midsize SUV while adopting a more expressive appearance. It is intended for drivers who place a high value on design and do not need a third row.
The QX60 uses a more traditional roofline that supports greater interior flexibility and the addition of a third row. Its design remains elegant and modern, but practicality is the priority. For families that regularly carry more than five people, this difference can be decisive.
The 2027 QX65 seats five passengers across two rows. It provides 1,014 litres of cargo space behind the second row and up to 1,917 litres with the rear seats folded. This configuration is particularly well suited to couples, small families and drivers who regularly carry luggage or recreational equipment.
The 2026 QX60 can accommodate six or seven people. LUXE and SPORT models use a second-row bench and can seat up to seven passengers. The AUTOGRAPH has second-row captain's chairs and seats up to six.
The QX60 provides 411 litres behind its third row, 1,178 litres with the third row folded and a maximum of 2,135 litres with both rear rows folded. It is therefore more flexible when passenger and cargo requirements change regularly.
The QX65 and QX60 both use a 2.0-litre VC-Turbo engine producing 268 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is also standard on both Canadian models. Their drive mode selectors include settings for snow and towing. These features are useful when road conditions change during winter in Ottawa, Gatineau and the Outaouais.
Although their mechanical specifications are similar, the two models may feel different from behind the wheel because of their configurations and designs. A test drive remains the best way to evaluate seating position, visibility, comfort and responsiveness.
The 2027 INFINITI QX65 and 2026 INFINITI QX60 can each tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. This capacity can accommodate many small trailers, boats and pieces of recreational equipment.
The decision should not be based only on the advertised towing capacity. The number of passengers, weight of the cargo, towing equipment and vehicle payload must also be considered. Always consult the owner's manual and the specific limits of the vehicle before towing.
Both SUVs offer a 12.3-inch digital instrument display and a 12.3-inch INFINITI InTouch infotainment screen. Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto and wireless phone charging are also available.
Depending on the trim and selected packages, available equipment can include Klipsch premium audio, climate-controlled or massaging front seats, a head-up display, an Around View Monitor and different versions of ProPILOT Assist.
Because the equipment is not identical on every trim, it is important to compare the LUXE, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH models according to the features you will actually use.
There is no single winner for every driver. The 2027 QX65 is the more logical choice if you want five seats, generous cargo space and sportier styling. The 2026 QX60 is the better choice if you need a third row and a more flexible family configuration.
Because their engines, power outputs, transmissions, all-wheel-drive systems and maximum towing capacities are comparable, the decision comes down mainly to seating capacity, interior space and design.
