“Nice car, however I do not like how some of the settings that I prefer reset to factory defaults when the car is shut off, so you have to reselect every time you drive the car.”
2023 INFINITI QX55: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2023 INFINITI QX55 is that ProPILOT Assist becomes standard on every trim. It is not a redesign, but it gets a meaningful equipment update with more standard safety, comfort, and convenience features.
About the 2023 INFINITI QX55
First generation QX55, introduced for 2022; 2023 is the second model year with equipment upgrades rather than a redesign.
INFINITI positions the QX55 as a style-first compact luxury crossover with coupe-like looks, standard AWD, and a richer cabin than its more practical QX50 sibling. Its core appeal is bold design inspired by the original FX, paired with a comfortable interior, strong standard safety tech, and an unusual variable-compression turbo engine. Shoppers choose it for standout curb appeal and luxury features more than maximum cargo room or sporty handling.
The LUXE serves as a well-equipped starting point, with a 268-hp turbo engine, AWD, dual touchscreens, heated leather-appointed seats, and a power moonroof. ESSENTIAL adds cooled front seats, Bose audio, built-in navigation, upgraded headlights, and a 360-degree camera. SENSORY focuses on cabin comfort with semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, a head-up display, heated rear outboard seats, and three-zone climate control.

2023 INFINITI QX55 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2023 INFINITI QX55.
4.1
2023 INFINITI QX55
(115 reviews)
“Nice vehicle QX55 Infiniti, but Infiniti does not stock parts. I need the hood actuators and cannot find them. I cannot drive the vehicle. Only 500 miles on it, and it is a 2023 model. No one can advise when the part will be available. Be careful; no parts. What good is a new car, no matter how good it looks?”
“You'll love the sleek design and the way it handles. Sound system is amazing and you'll feel comfortable in the driver seat.”
