Built to Endure: How INFINITI Engineers Confidence for the Long Road Ahead
At INFINITI, durability and reliability are not treated as individual features. They are the result of thousands of engineering decisions, extensive testing and a commitment to creating vehicles that clients can depend on every day. That commitment is reflected in recognitions such as a 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award earned by QX801.
Because true luxury should inspire confidence not just on the first drive, but on every drive that follows.
Engineered for Everyday Life
Luxury vehicles are expected to do more than provide comfort.
They must also perform consistently through changing road conditions, daily routines, family road trips and years of ownership.
That’s why INFINITI engineers every vehicle with a focus on lasting capability and refinement.
In QX60 and the all-new QX65, the uniquely tuned advanced 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine delivers responsive performance while continuously adjusting its compression ratio to balance power and efficiency. The result is a powertrain designed to adapt intelligently to real-world driving demands rather than forcing compromises between performance and everyday usability.
When properly equipped, QX60 and QX65 can tow up to 6,000 pounds2, while the flagship QX80 can tow up to 8,500 pounds2. That capability demonstrates the robust engineering and enduring confidence that are central to INFINITI’s flagship SUV.
Across the lineup, these powertrains are paired with sophisticated transmissions and available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive3 systems designed to provide confident performance in a variety of conditions.
The all-new QX60 and QX65 are assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee, a facility with a longstanding history of producing INFINITI vehicles dating back to 2012.
Reliability begins long before a vehicle reaches the driveway.
It starts with engineering designed to perform consistently over time.
Built to Deliver Confidence
Durability and safety often go hand in hand.
A vehicle engineered to protect occupants must also be engineered to perform consistently in demanding situations. That commitment to engineering rigor is reflected in independent evaluations. The 2026 INFINITI QX80 earned a 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK designation1, recognizing its performance in rigorous crashworthiness and safety testing.
Across the lineup, INFINITI vehicles incorporate advanced driver-assistance technologies and extensive safety engineering designed to help drivers navigate the road with greater confidence.
Available technologies such as Predictive Forward Collision Warning3, Blind Spot Warning3, Around View® Monitor3 with Moving Object Detection and other driver-support systems, such as ProPILOT Assist3, further reinforce confidence behind the wheel.
While safety and reliability measure different things, both are rooted in the same philosophy:
Engineering vehicles that drivers can trust.
Designed for the Long Journey
Reliability extends beyond the vehicle itself.
It also includes the ownership experience that supports it.
Every new INFINITI includes INFINITI Premium Care select maintenance plan, helping simplify routine maintenance through included oil changes and tire rotations for your model’s designated mileage period or up to 3 years, whichever comes first4. Participating retailers can also provide complimentary valet service for maintenance visits5 further reducing the friction often associated with vehicle ownership.
These programs reflect a broader belief that confidence should continue long after clients leave the showroom.
Because maintaining a vehicle should feel as thoughtful as driving one.
Luxury That Lasts
For today’s luxury buyer, reliability is more than a practical consideration.
It is part of the ownership experience.
A beautifully designed vehicle means more when it continues performing as expected. Advanced technology feels more valuable when it functions seamlessly day after day. Comfort becomes even more meaningful when owners can focus on enjoying the journey rather than worrying about the vehicle.
At INFINITI, durability and reliability are not simply engineering goals.
They are essential parts of delivering thoughtful hospitality, confidence and peace of mind.
Because true luxury is not only about how a vehicle feels on day one.
It’s about how it continues to feel years later.
