From their coupe-like silhouettes to their sculpted proportions, the INFINITI QX65 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe make a strong first impression. Inside, each cabin delivers a refined atmosphere with premium materials and modern design cues. Still, the finer details reveal two distinct interpretations of modern luxury.
The Genesis GV80 Coupe begins with a sloping roofline, a wide stance, and its signature G-Matrix crest grille that projects a grounded, athletic character. The INFINITI QX65 takes a more dramatic approach, pairing a sharply arched fastback profile with its Artistry in Motion design language to create a sense of movement from every angle, even when stationary.
Both luxury SUVs offer exterior palettes that extend beyond traditional grayscale finishes, including bold blue tones like Grand Blue on the INFINITI and Capri Blue on the Genesis. However, only the QX65 offers Deep Emerald and the striking Sunfire Red, which incorporates real gold-coated glass flecks for added depth. The INFINITI QX65 also distinguishes itself with available two-tone paint combinations paired with a Black Obsidian roof.
Unsurprisingly, the INFINITI QX65 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe equip their cabins with the core comforts expected in modern luxury SUVs, including standard or available amenities such as:
Both models also include a standard panoramic sunroof to open the interior to natural light and enhance overall spaciousness. However, only the INFINITI QX65 offers available massaging front seats to further enhance long-distance comfort and relaxation.
Performance in luxury SUVs extends beyond horsepower alone. Capability, responsiveness, and real-world handling all shape how that power is delivered and experienced. Efficiency adds another layer to the equation. So, how do the INFINITI QX65 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe compare when the focus shifts from specifications to driving dynamics?
Each model is powered by a turbocharged engine designed to deliver confident acceleration for highway merging and everyday passing power. Both the INFINITI QX65 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe feature standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive systems that continuously adjust to changing road and weather conditions for enhanced control.
The GV80 Coupe pairs its engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the INFINITI QX65 utilizes a 9-speed automatic engineered to deliver smoother shift transitions and a more composed feel across a wider range of driving scenarios.
When properly equipped, both SUVs are capable of up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity. While each also offers multiple selectable drive modes, only the QX65 includes standard Tow Mode and Trailer Sway Control, which work together to help maintain stability by optimizing shift behavior and monitoring trailer movement for added confidence when towing.
Fuel economy remains central to how luxury SUVs perform in everyday driving, shaping how far you can travel between fill-ups. In this comparison, the INFINITI QX65 and the Genesis GV80 Coupe take distinctly different approaches to efficiency.
