Overview

Infiniti QX55 at a glance

Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.

Introduced in late 2021, the Infiniti QX55 enters the market as a design-focused alternative to the traditional compact crossover. While it shares its core architecture and 2800-millimeter wheelbase with the QX50, the QX55 is longer by 41 millimeters and sits 55 millimeters lower to achieve its distinct silhouette. The vehicle targets buyers who prioritize aesthetic appeal and a dynamic stance without moving to a larger vehicle class. Its layout utilizes a transverse engine and a multi-plate clutch to deliver power to the rear axle, ensuring all-weather capability for the standard or available all-wheel-drive systems, depending on the region.

  • Power: 249-272 hp
  • Engine displacement: 1991-1997 cc
  • Transmissions: CVT
  • Seating: 5 seats

Model guide

Infiniti QX55 overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The QX55 distinguishes itself from its platform sibling through a more aggressive exterior treatment. The front fascia incorporates an enlarged grille flanked by prominent gloss-finished fog light surrounds. Its defining feature is the sloping rear roofline that transitions into a fastback-style tailgate. At the rear, the vehicle is equipped with intricate LED taillights, each containing 45 individual diodes to create a unique light signature. To complete the athletic stance, 20-inch alloy wheels are fitted as standard equipment across the lineup.

Interior

Inside, the cabin layout closely mirrors other modern Infiniti models. The dashboard utilizes an analog instrument cluster alongside the Infiniti InTouch dual-screen infotainment system, featuring an 8-inch upper display and a 7-inch lower touchscreen. The center console houses a compact, shift-by-wire gear selector. For utility, the second-row bench can slide longitudinally by up to 152 millimeters. Cargo capacity measures 762 liters behind the rear seats—a slight reduction compared to more conventionally shaped SUVs—expanding to 1532 liters when the rear backrests are folded flat.

Performance

Power comes exclusively from a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine. This powertrain features variable compression technology, continuously adjusting the compression ratio between 8:1 and 14:1 by altering the piston stroke to balance performance and efficiency. Depending on the market, output is rated at either 249 or 272 horsepower, with 380 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a Jatco Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). The chassis utilizes MacPherson struts in the front and a multi-link rear suspension setup, providing a controlled and stable ride. Higher trims also offer Direct Adaptive Steering, a steer-by-wire system.

Practicality

Despite the sloping roofline, the QX55 retains a solid degree of everyday utility. The sliding second-row seats allow owners to prioritize either rear legroom or cargo space depending on the trip. While the 762-liter trunk is slightly smaller than its more upright counterparts, it easily accommodates daily errands and family luggage. The standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats drop to create a flat load floor for transporting larger items.

Safety and tech

The crossover offers a comprehensive suite of modern technology and driver aids. It can be equipped with the ProPilot assist system for Level 2 semi-autonomous highway driving, a head-up display, and a surround-view camera system. Available safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning. Interior tech upgrades encompass a premium 15-speaker Bose audio system, tri-zone climate control, and seats with heating, ventilation, and memory functions.

Buyer notes

When comparing QX55 models, buyers should note that features like the advanced ProPilot driver assistance, semi-aniline leather upholstery, and the Bose premium audio system are tied to higher trim levels or specific packages such as the Essential Proactive or Proassist. Engine output also varies by region, so checking local specifications is recommended. The standard 20-inch wheels provide a strong look but may result in a firmer ride on rough pavement.
