Like its predecessor, the QX55's daring roofline and provocative shape are in tune with equally bold buyers; the QX55 doesn't have something for all people - it aims to be everything to some people.
The QX55's design retains all of
Infiniti's daring design hallmarks, delivering a fresh interpretation of
the FX silhouette. The QX55 inserts Infiniti back into a category it
helped to create with an unapologetic style. The signature double-arch
grille is complemented by a stunning, origami-inspired mesh pattern that
delivers visual depth and showcases modern Japanese-inspired artistry.
Flanked by standard LED headlights that mimic the human eye, the QX55
announces its arrival in style.
Along the body sides, the QX55's
alluring profile has plenty to say but doesn't speak out of turn. The
elegant and flowing lines reach from the hood, over the front fenders,
across the doors, and over the rear wheels. Twenty-inch wheels are
standard on all QX55 models, which fill the wheel arches and assert the
SUV's dynamic presence.
The rear of the QX55 accentuates the
subtlety of the automaker's design and interpretation of Japanese
minimalism by coupling an uncluttered liftgate with handsome,
understated technology to deliver a lasting impression. Digital "piano
key" taillights combine 45 separate LEDs in a single housing to create
an elegant light signature, recently featured on the stunning QX60
Monograph design study. The Infiniti logo on the tailgate is similarly
advanced and houses the power liftgate release, which further frees the
rear end from clutter.
Inside, the QX55 features Infiniti's
dual-screen, InTouch infotainment system with wireless Apple Carplay
compatibility, and multiple USB inputs for Android Auto compatibility
and charging. The upper 8-inch and lower 7-inch high-resolution screens
inform the driver and entertain passengers with an available Bose audio
system delivered through up to 16 speakers providing a concert like
acoustic experience.
Leatherette, leather, or semi-aniline
leather appointments for the seats adorn the QX55's spacious interior,
and its sliding second-row seats provide flexible cargo capacity or
increased legroom, depending on need.
Under the hood of every QX55 is Infiniti's award-winning and innovative Variable Compression Turbo 4-cylinder engine that makes 268 hp and 280 pound-feet of torque. The dynamic engine imperceptibly changes its compression and displacement to deliver enhanced efficiency or on-demand power, based on the driver's needs. That power is shifted through a confident Continuously Variable Transmission with manual shift mode and delivered to Infiniti's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which is standard on all QX55 models in the U.S. and Canada. A Drive Mode Selector empowers the driver with programmable settings (Standard, Eco, Sport and Personal) to tailor each drive.
Available in select markets globally in up to three well-equipped grades: Luxe, Essential and Sensory, the all-new QX55 arrives in the U.S. and Canada in spring 2021, with other key markets to follow shortly after.
