“The tech in the car is dated for it to be a 2022. The QX60 tech is waaaaay better. The sunroof is super small too.”
INFINITI QX55: Trims, Generations & Buyer's Guide
Last updated August 4, 2026
The INFINITI QX55 is a compact luxury SUV with a coupe-like roofline, standard all-wheel drive, and seating for five. It is known as the more style-focused alternative to the boxier QX50, with upscale materials and useful safety technology.
The QX55 paired dramatic fastback styling with the everyday usefulness of a compact SUV throughout its 2022–2025 run. Its formula stayed consistent: a 268-horsepower turbocharged engine, standard all-wheel drive, and a cabin focused more on design and materials than the newest screen layout. It was discontinued after the 2025 model year without a major redesign.
Strengths
- Its coupe-like roofline gives it a more expressive look than a conventional compact luxury SUV.
- Standard all-wheel drive provides extra reassurance in rain and snow across every model year.
- The 268-horsepower turbocharged engine gives every trim the same performance-focused foundation.
- The cabin combines upscale materials with a layout that feels focused on the driver.
- From 2023 onward, every trim includes a system that helps with steering and maintains distance from traffic on the highway.
- It remains useful for daily life, with seating for five and 38.7 inches of rear legroom in 2025.
Who it's for
The QX55 fits someone who wants a compact luxury SUV that looks more distinctive than a traditional, boxy model. It makes sense for commuting and everyday errands, especially for a shopper who values standard all-wheel drive and a well-finished cabin more than maximum cargo room or the latest infotainment design.
INFINITI QX55 lineup
LUXE is the entry point and carries the QX55’s core formula of coupe-like styling, turbo power, and standard all-wheel drive. ESSENTIAL is the middle trim for shoppers who want added convenience and driver information; in recent years, that included traffic-sign recognition. SENSORY is the comfort-focused top trim, and recent versions added touches such as heated outer rear seats and extra passenger-seat adjustment. The three trims share the same engine and overall style, so the choice mainly comes down to how much comfort and convenience equipment matters.

INFINITI QX55
(319 reviews)
“Fun to drive, sleek look and features (top of line model). Dashboard is surprisingly not digital, and Android must be plugged in to mirror... disappointment.”
“I love it. The only thing I do not like about my Infiniti QX55 is that the seats are not genuine leather they are leatherette.”
“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.”
“check out the cross traffic radar system, it does not work well. Will not pick up much of anything when backing out of driveway or parking spot”
“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?”
