The 2023 QX55 is a sportier and more stylish cousin of the QX50, and it makes a good first impression with sharp looks and a surprisingly spacious cabin. The driving experience is a letdown, though, as is real-world fuel economy. Overall, we think there are better choices for a coupe-style crossover SUV.

Overview
In 2008, BMW introduced the first coupe-like SUV in the form of its X6. It was built on the more conventional X5 and featured a sloping roofline for a sportier silhouette. Since then, it seems as though almost every luxury carmaker has bought into this concept, for better or worse. Last year, Infiniti introduced its own coupe-like SUV, the QX55. It's based on the QX50 that was introduced in 2019.

Besides its sloping roofline, the 2023 Infiniti QX55 distinguishes itself from the QX50 with standard all-wheel drive and more responsive tuning for the engine and transmission. Unfortunately, it also loses some of the convenience and utility of the QX50, with less cargo capacity and less rear headroom. Even though it's billed as a performance luxury SUV, the QX50 isn't very fun to drive nor is it particularly comfortable.
For 2023, the QX55 adds some enticement by including more standard features such as advanced driver aids, leather upholstery, and other tech and comfort-related items. While we welcome the upgrades, they do little to address the QX55's drawbacks that are well documented in our Expert Rating below. As a result, we continue to suggest checking out the rival Acura RDX, BMW X4, Genesis GV70 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. We're confident you'll find a sportier and more luxurious experience with any of these alternatives.

Below Average
6.8
out of 10
We drove the 2023 INFINITI QX55 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
6.5/10
How does the QX55 drive? If you go by specs alone, the QX55 holds a lot of promise. Our test QX55 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, which is respectably quick for a small luxury crossover with a four-cylinder engine. It's a bit slow to start but power comes on strong once you're rolling.
However, the powertrain lacks finesse. Much of the problem stems from the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Its simulated gear shifts can be jerky and slow, and transitions from going slow to going hard on the gas are inconsistent. We expect much more smoothness and refinement from a luxury SUV.
The steering is also problematic. Our QX55 Essential test vehicle had the available adaptive steering system. In theory, it provides better steering feel and speed for different driving situations. But in our testing, it felt disconnected and required constant small corrections to keep the vehicle straight on the highway. Overly soft handling around turns is another drawback.

But in our testing, it felt disconnected and required constant small corrections to keep the vehicle straight on the highway. Overly soft handling around turns is another drawback.
Comfort
6.5/10
How comfortable is the QX55? Authentic leather and a lot of soft surfaces create a comfortable vibe inside the QX55, though it may not wow you the way some rivals do. The front seats are wide and cushy, and our test vehicle had power lumbar support. Unfortunately the front seat bottoms feel too flat, which can cause some discomfort on longer drives.
The biggest story here is the below-average ride quality. You'll notice it right away — the QX55 suspension is always busy, even on smooth roads, and while it rebounds quickly after a bump, you will feel that bump more than you would in most luxury competitors.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The interior of the QX55 places its dual-screen setup front and center, but it could have saved the space and gone with just one. Having two simply doesn't add much to the experience. There's a helpful rotary dial so you don't have to reach all the way to the top screen.
The QX55 makes good use of its space for a small crossover. It's easy to climb in and out. Taller folks will have to duck to get into the back, but once there, the QX55 has a surprising amount of room for both their heads and legs. Drivers around 6 feet tall may wish the seat lowered a bit more, but otherwise the view is commanding. One complaint: A better-resolution backup camera would improve visibility dramatically.

Technology
5.5/10
How’s the tech? Neither of the QX55's dual screens is impressive visually, with so-so graphics, plus icons and maps that feel like they're behind the times. We also had trouble inputting addresses because the native navigation system would start the route unprompted. Good news: Wireless Apple CarPlay comes standard (Android Auto is wired). The Essential trim we tested had the 16-speaker Bose sound system and it produces pleasing audio quality.
The QX55's driver aids are mostly helpful. Parking sensors and blind-spot warning help compensate for the QX55's blind spots, and the lane keeping assistance works unobtrusively to help keep you in your intended lane. The adaptive cruise control system is generally good but annoyingly turns off once you come to a stop in heavy highway traffic.

The adaptive cruise control system is generally good but annoyingly turns off once you come to a stop in heavy highway traffic.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The QX55 is one of the roomiest models in its class. Behind the second row of seats is 26.9 cubic feet of room, which is better than Audi Q5 Sportback (24.7 cubic feet) and much better than X4 (18.5 cubes) or GLC Coupe (17.6 cubes). The opening is slim — so don't plan on moving large furniture — but otherwise there's enough room for daily activities.
Inside the cabin there's a deep center console and large door pockets. Our biggest wish is for a more natural smartphone area. The back seat accommodates car seats with latches wedged between the cushions that are easy to find. Plus the sliding and reclining rear seat comes in handy for big rear-facing infant seats.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? Fuel economy and sportiness are supposed to be the great virtues of the QX55, but unfortunately it falls short. Its EPA estimate is 25 mpg combined (22 city/28 highway), which is unremarkable compared to rivals. Worse, we observed an average 23.7 mpg on our 115-mile test route on which many vehicles routinely outperform their estimates. Premium fuel is recommended but not required.
Value
7/10
Is the QX55 a good value? Infiniti prices the QX55 competitively against rivals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. The problem is that the QX55 has trouble keeping pace with that stable of crossovers, making the asking price seem a bit daunting. This is especially true considering there's no cheaper base trim, like the one offered by its close cousin, the QX50. The interior is well constructed but hardly premium enough to justify Mercedes pricing.
It's a similar story with the warranty. Infiniti offers luxury-brand coverage, such as four years/60,000 miles of basic coverage and six years/70,000 miles on the powertrain. But smaller brands often go the extra mile to entice buyers, and the QX55 doesn't. No free maintenance is a missed opportunity.

Wildcard
7/10
There's definitely a certain charm to the QX55, mostly due to its attractive exterior styling and nifty interior. Even the powertrain, which doesn't quite come together as we hoped, lends some personality to the car. Making a first impression matters in this class, and the QX55 does that. Unfortunately few of those positives have to do with actual performance on the road.
2023 INFINITI QX55 trim level differences
The 2023 QX55 is a small crossover SUV that's related to Infiniti's QX50. The main difference is the QX55's sleeker roofline. It comes in three trim levels: Luxe, Essential and Sensory. All models have a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (268 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque), a continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2023 INFINITI QX55 trim levels in-depth.
Which QX55 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Even though the base Luxe trim is very well appointed, we suggest upgrading to the midrange Essential trim. For the rather reasonable price increase, you get more high-end features that include climate-controlled front seats, premium audio and a surround-view camera system.

QX55 Sensory
5 out of 5 starsArnold Glassberg, 01/20/2022
2022 INFINITI QX55 SENSORY 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
After looking at half a dozen other cars I knew this was the one as soon as I set eyes on it. Curbside appeal and interior are great and then driving it sealed the deal. Now, after three months I am finally getting to understand how most of the advanced electronics operate. Just blows me away - a truly intelligent car. I have owned three Infiniti vehicles in the past without any … mechanical problems and expect this one to be as reliable as the others. Infiniti delivers a great driving experience with power, comfort and styling with the QX55. Since I like to do my own routine maintenance, got turned off by the German cars in the premium SUV category. There is plenty of superior engineering in this car with AWD, dual turbochargers and Constant Velocity Transmission.
After almost three years of driving, I can now update my review with a few additional comments. The onboard electronics can occasionally lock-up and fail to allow for GPS or integrated telephone usage. Usually, the problem goes away after a few minutes or a restart. My guess is that a computer chip has a bug or gets confused. After all, there probably are dozens of chips in the car so that is the cost of contemporary electronics. On the positive side, there are no squeaks, wind noise or other distracting sounds after three years of driving.
Still love the look of the car and the drive.
