About the INFINITI QX55
Say hello to the newest member of its growing INFINITI crossover and SUV lineup — the QX55. Taking design cues from the iconic INFINITI FX, the QX55 features a dynamic roofline and striking visual elements which are essential components of a premium midsize crossover. The QX55 is truly a showcase of progressive design with groundbreaking technologies engineered to empower, engage, and connect luxury drivers to the road ahead. Helping to instill your connection with the outside work are groundbreaking tech features like INFINITI InTouch™ featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® integration. Responsive yet efficient performance comes from its standard 2.0L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine, giving you the perfect amount and capability and power. Every aspect of the premium interior of the QX55 is designed to surround the driver with luxurious comfort and impeccable craftsmanship to enhance your daily commute. Unlike any other luxury vehicle in its class, the dynamic INFINITI QX55 blurs the line between a crossover and a sports coupe.
What the Critics Say
There's a conventionalism to the QX55's design that makes it both contemporary and yet an effective homage to the original FX at the same time. It's the type of design that makes you want to go drive somewhere looking for a pretty Instagram backdrop—rare for a crossover.”
— MotorTrend
When SUVs get the sporty coupe treatment, the windswept roofline often blows the proportions out of whack. The QX55 not only avoids this issue, but actually manages to improve upon the look of the QX50, with sculpted, swoopy styling that suits it nicely. Another danger of “coupifying” a crossover is that a sleeker shape often cuts into headroom. Not so in the case of the QX55, which skillfully avoids the coupe cramp of the X4.”

What’s New For 2023
Since the QX55 was an all-new model just last year, the changes are minor, and are all to do with equipment. There is a big list of equipment that is now standard on all three trim levels. This includes leather seats, auto-folding and heated side mirrors, rear door handles with integrated LED welcome lighting, and a USB-C charging port for the back seat. Blind Spot Intervention is now also standard, but the big news is that the ProPILOT Assist suite is now standard across all trims.
The Essential trim now gets Traffic Sign Recognition and auto-leveling, adaptive LED headlights as standard, both were options in 2022. The Sensory trim gets some equipment that wasn’t available at all before, including second-row heated seats and four-way power lumbar adjustment for the passenger.
INFINITI QX55 Features
Style & Performance
Unmistakable yet elegant, the dynamic styling of the INFINITI QX55 is perfect for those who refuse to blend in with the crowd. It combines the sleek fastback profile of a sports coupe with the everyday practicality of a luxury crossover, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Highlights of the QX55 exterior include its dynamic mesh front grille, Digital Piano Key Taillight featuring 45 individual LEDs, and tapered roofline.
Beneath the hood lies an innovative 2.0L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine (Variable Compression Turbo) that produces a balanced 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Making it easy to stay in the sweet spot of the powerband is a responsive Continuously Variable Transmission with manual shift mode and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Also standard across the QX55 range is INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, adding confidence through its ability to send up to 50% of available power to the rear wheels for greater traction and control.
