Remember the Infiniti FX – the SUV that turned heads in the early 2000s? Then the Infiniti QX65 Monograph will feel like a comeback story. Unveiled at Monterey Car Week, this isn’t just a design experiment. It’s a near-production SUV that combines the FX’s bold DNA with a sharper, more futuristic look.

Design That Turns Heads

First thing you notice about the Infiniti QX65 Monograph is the fastback roofline, just like the FX did years ago. The special “Twilight” satin finish shifts from deep purple to golden tones, like a sunset across the bodywork.

Up front, a bamboo-inspired grille sits between digital “piano key” LEDs across the fascia. At the back, the 3D taillamps are like jet aircraft fins. On 22-inch alloy wheels, the QX65 looks athletic and polished – exactly what a modern FX should.

Carrying the FX Spirit

The original FX was long hood, aggressive styling and a V8 under the bonnet. The QX65 takes a more refined approach. Underneath, it’s expected to have a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine like the QX60, with about 268 hp. Not brute force, but enough to make city drives and highway stretches fun while keeping refinement intact.

Not three-row QX60, this will be a two-row, five-seater, for drivers who want style and sportiness over practicality. And since Monograph concepts usually are close to production, what you see now is very close to what will hit the showrooms.

Looking Ahead

Production model is due 2026 or 2027, to fill the space once occupied by the FX and QX70. Positioned as a sportier companion to the QX60, the Infiniti QX65 Monograph is Infiniti’s return to the SUV-coupe scene it helped create.

This isn’t just another crossover. It’s a clear sign Infiniti wants to bring back some of its daring – the very character that made the FX a legend.
