Something extraordinary is unfolding
LaFontaine INFINITI Ann Arbor – Why 6,000-lb Towing and Smart Driver Tech Make the 2027 INFINITI QX65 a Natural Fit for South Lyon, MI
When you picture a coupe-inspired luxury crossover, you might not expect robust towing and a full suite of confidence-boosting driver aids. The 2027 INFINITI QX65 pairs both with style—making it a standout for South Lyon, MI drivers who want something elegant and capable in equal measure. With 6,000-lb towing across all trims, standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and available camera technologies that turn tight parking or trailer alignment into a breeze, the QX65 feels tailor-made for busy weeks and well-earned weekends.
Let’s start with versatility. The QX65 is purpose-built to be your daily driver and your getaway vehicle. Its 2.0L VC-Turbo is uniquely tuned for brisk throttle response while optimizing efficiency when you’re cruising. A responsive 9-speed automatic keeps the drive smooth on Pontiac Trail or when you’re merging onto US-23. And because Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard, you don’t have to step up a trim to get added traction—you’re ready for unpredictable surfaces and sudden downpours, whether you’re navigating Milford Road or heading out beyond Whitmore Lake.
What the 6,000-lb Towing Capacity Means for Real Life
For many South Lyon families, flexibility is key. A 6,000-lb rating across the QX65 lineup opens up plenty of possibilities—a compact boat for Kent Lake, a small camper for a weekend at Proud Lake Recreation Area, or a pair of motorcycles for track days. Importantly, the SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims offer available packages that go beyond just a number on paper: hardware and software are thoughtfully integrated to help keep things stable and stress-free.
- Towing Capacity: 6,000 lbs across all trims
- Tow Equipment: Available Tow Hitch Member plus Pre-Harness & Trailer Harness Plug
- Trailer Confidence: Available Trailer Sway Control on select packages
- AWD Traction: Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive for added grip
Even without a trailer, you’ll feel the QX65’s performance programming at work. INFINITI’s VC-Turbo varies its compression in real time, delivering a satisfying surge when you need it, then relaxing for a quiet, comfortable cruise when you don’t. Pair that with the natural-feeling gear changes from the 9-speed automatic and you get a refined, responsive drive that fits the rhythm of local roads.
Visibility and Control That Make Every Task Easier
Towing is only as easy as your visibility. That’s where the QX65’s available camera technology makes a real difference. The 3D Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection offers a virtual bird’s-eye perspective that’s incredibly helpful in tight lots or near crowded boat launches. Invisible Hood View lets you see your front wheels—so placing your tires precisely along a curb, around a pothole, or onto trailer ramps feels more intuitive. And when you’re aligning in a driveway or approaching a low-visibility intersection, the available Front Wide View provides a near-180° forward image that helps you see what’s coming sooner.
- 3D Around View®: Virtual 360-degree view with Moving Object Detection
- Invisible Hood: See the front wheels through the hood on-screen
- Front Wide View: Near-180° camera for blind corners
- Smart Rearview Mirror: Available HD video feed when cargo blocks the view
Put it all together and you have a crossover that handles the everyday beautifully—school drop-offs, downtown South Lyon errands, quick parking at your favorite coffee spot—and scales up gracefully when you add the complexity of a trailer. The result is confidence you can feel, with systems that are easy to use and genuinely helpful.
Driver Assistance That Lightens the Load
Standard ProPILOT Assist is designed for the parts of the drive most of us would rather skip. It brings together Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist—and can stop and hold, then bring you back to speed in stop-and-go conditions. That matters on I-96 or Grand River Avenue, where traffic can ebb and flow without much warning. On the AUTOGRAPH trim with the Technology Package, available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 adds high-definition mapping for compatible freeway driving—another layer of calm for longer hauls and weekend trips.
- ProPILOT Assist: Standard across the QX65 range
- Stop-and-Hold: Helps in stop-and-go traffic
- Lane Support: Standard Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention
- Collision Awareness: Standard Predictive Forward Collision Warning
Of course, the QX65’s confidence extends to blind spots and low-light conditions. Standard Blind Spot Warning and Blind Spot Intervention® help you stay aware of adjacent traffic, while High Beam Assist automatically adjusts illumination. It’s the kind of tech that fades into the background until you need it—exactly how it should be.
Comfort and Tech That Upgrade Every Drive
Inside, the QX65 aims for a warm, modern feel. A standard panoramic glass roof brightens the cabin, and available multi-color ambient lighting lets you set the tone. The available Klipsch® Reference Premiere system—20 speakers with headrest drivers for the front seats—transforms playlists and podcasts. And the app-based Personalized Sound can tune audio settings to your hearing profile for a truly bespoke experience. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard, while available Google built-in ties your drive into a smart app ecosystem that’s always learning. If you’re hauling gear, you’ll appreciate the 35.8 cu ft of cargo room with all seats up—and 67.7 cu ft with the second row folded.
When you want more visual drama outside, the SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims offer the Deep Emerald color, while the AUTOGRAPH elevates the cabin with quilted semi-aniline leather and open-pore wood. Details matter here, and it shows.
