I like the looks. However, for 2025 I would like to see the following improvements/changes: get rid of the CVT, place the gas tank of the right side of the vehicle, add a panoramic sun roof. Also, in the 2003 Infiniti FX35 I once owned, I like that the passenger side power seat buttons were actually placed not on the side of the seat, but on the top left side of the seat, right of the centre console. I found that placement super convenient as it's the little things that make a big difference. Another thing I would change is to make that console dual top/bottom screens one single long screen. This was smooth the look out. Anyway, cheers to a 2025 model! :)

[@medellon]

That exterior looks nice, but that interior is at least a decade old. My mother's 2014 Q50 had that same interor.

[@ce2flaco]

I tend to agree. The interior looks like it belongs in a vehicle with a much lower price point.

[@precisionmotors]

Same, My Nephew's G37 had the same interior and that car is over 10 years old. Infinity is just using old parts to sell new SUV. Bottom of the barrel, put together with duck tape and spit.

[@FoCoBuzz]

@@ce2flacoThat infotainment stack and dash looks more like 2017 Honda Accord than most luxury vehicles. My 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum has far better interior tech. Shame as it’s a very striking car on the exterior.

[@bigdoggy6650]

I like this vehicle

[@johnlawrence1515]

Does the QX 55 have available different ambient lighting inside?

[@bikersoncall]

Nice looking. Whether considering a crossover, hatchback, suv, mini suv or sedan, most vehicles imv, should at least be or have a 'hatchback' model-option, they can almost always be somewhat concealed into the overall design, and I've seen some awesome sportcars that are hatchbacks, they are so handy and more versatile than vehicles with just 'trunks' . The trunks usually have passthroughs for skis etc, but would be better with lots of passthrough room, and the hatch (suv or hatchback) does provide a little to a lot of shade depending on model and sun's orientation.

[@lights80088]

Hi Lauren, love all your car videos. Can you address one very big concern for me. I keep my vehicles for many years. Turbo engines worry me as they don't seem to have good long term reliability. This is a big reason why I'm looking at an Acura MDX (V6 ). What's your thoughts on this issue? Thank you.

[@PicturePerfect808]

In my personal experience (2015 Nissan Juke NISMO RS). As long as you're good with keeping up with the normal maintenance (oil, transmission fluid, rear diff, etc...) changes. I've had a great experience. I still drive my '15 Juke and like you keep my vehicles for an extremely long time. I still drive my '00, '04', and '12 vehicles with no issues.

[@timothyburnside3229]

I had two J30 T Infinity cars and loved them! Like the Q45 they were AVANT=garde and the looks were striking! INFINITY at that time was different from Lexus and they were more fun to drive ! Then they tried to out Lexus Lexus and lost their way, hopefully this is the rebirth of a once proud brand! I would rather not have CVT but not a deal killer at this point! Great review as always !!!

[@markshattis6957]

Sitting here wondering why more car manufacturers don't implement your great idea of tucking the rear wiper under the spoiler. It makes perfect sense. Is it the cost?

[@bc67]

That's such a nice looking vehicle. Infiniti nailed the design, but I think the experience would be significantly diminished by the whine of the CVT. That's a deal breaker for me every time.

[@ksorsomeplace]

It's not that bad. You may be surprised. I don't even notice it.

[@Macsleuth]

I hear the motor/turbo more than the CVT, mind you I always have the radio on, so I might be missing that subtle CVT drone.

[@occckid123]

There is no whine of the cvt just because you hear a sound doesn't mean uts the cvt. There is engine noise just like any other translation when you rev it up

[@bc67]

@@occckid123 "The engine whine that the CVT creates." Does that make you feel better?

[@ksorsomeplace]

@@occckid123Absolut correctness.

[@FoCoBuzz]

This car looks fantastic sitting on the curb. Then you get inside and it falls apart. 2015 called and wanted its infotainment stack back along with those analog gauges - sorry, but I love my all digital dash in my 2023 vehicle. 😮 And, on top of the interior shortcomings, as I heard on another channel, an Infiniti is just “a gussied-up Nissan” which pales in terms of quality to Toyota and Honda. This is a classic, “looks aren’t everything” car.

[@Macsleuth]

Have been driving Nissans and Infinitis since 1997, have had high mileage cars and no issues, even with the CVTs, no argument on Toyotas reliability, at least the ones made in Japan these days. The only issue I have with all these digital screens is they are going. To be costly when they fail as with most things on modern cars.

[@laosta692002]

Nice looking coupe but wow that engine noise and cvt kills it for me

[@ksorsomeplace]

CVT works well. Don't let it fool you. Drive it first and then decide.

[@Macsleuth]

They have updated the CVT starting with this model.

[@Tully3674]

Nice exterior design. Interior could be updated. But Infiniti lost me at the CVT (you can hear how loud the tranny is in the video). Such a nice looking car with a terrible transmission. Good informative video, but I feel you downplayed the problematic CVT with your praise of its exterior styling (I'm still a Car Coach fan).

[@ksorsomeplace]

It's not that bad all. Drive one.

[@gvan7659]

I must say it is truly sexy when a woman is able to talk cars.

[@usafcabledawg]

I can't understand why they won't ditch the god awful cvt. This can be so much better. Thankfully the Pathfinder, and QX60 still has a VQ but I've heard rumors the 3.0TT is coming for those.

[@ksorsomeplace]

The CVT is not that bad. It has been improved over the years. Drive it first before describing it.

[@usafcabledawg]

@@ksorsomeplaceI had a QX50 for about a week as a loaner, so I'm pretty familiar. I like the QX50/55 as a car but the CVT ruins the experience. It all depends on your expectations I suppose.

[@ksorsomeplace]

@@usafcabledawgI suppose. But, good comment!

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

Does it come in a stick shift, instead of the cvt transmission? Definitely would consider if available in a manual transmission because I plan to drive the car past 70k miles.

[@fishermansmobileweighstati3645]

It doesn't.

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

@fishermansmobileweighstati3645 thanks. CVTs are not reliable

[@ksorsomeplace]

Most "luxury" vehicles haven't been available with a manual for years and years.

[@Macsleuth]

Have had a few Nissans and now a QX50 with more than 150k km on them, no issues with the CVT. The CVT drone is drowned out by the radio and the turbo 2.0l puts out enough power for merging or passing.

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

@Macsleuth have you had any electrical or cooling issues with your Nissans? I couldn't believe after Renault bought a large share of Nissan which my truck happens to be, quality went down substantially. So many cheap parts from Asian countries. Such as Japanese owned ND bought a Chinese coil company, faulty transmission oil cooler in the radiator, faulty heater plumbing in engine bay, bad power window motor, faulty south Korean clock spring, noisy brakes, rust on roof, thin paint flaking on hood, missing tailgate parts, drive draft center bearing premature wear, cd player failure, I can't remember the rest. And this is only one vehicle. While my 93 Nissan pickup has zero problems.

[@nabysarr]

Very good looking car. The CVT transmission is just not reliable. It can unexpectedly let you down . I just cannot understand how come Nissan makes very good cars but sabotage everything with unreliable transmission

[@aymanlockhartable]

If this model doesn’t save Infiniti then good luck! I owned Infinitis during golden area mid 2000s. Back then was like Japanese version of BMW. I’m now disappointed direction Infiniti and gave up. Infiniti should take notes from Genesis. Genesis is everything Infiniti should be!

[@mrjim1973]

For the money, I would rather have a Mazda CX30 or CX50!

[@precisionmotors]

The moment you said CVT. I was like again infinity dropped the ball on this. What a shame and what were they thinking, they Just ruined this nice looking Car/SUV. You would think they learned from their past mistakes but I guess not. I put $100 down that this SUV will have transmission failure first year who ever owns it. RDX should have been first because that matches the horse power to this car, the other SUV's have a lot more horse power and better handling. Acura RDX is 100 times better, it actually uses real transmission and not CVT, has more sporty dynamics and legendary SH-AWD. for $60,000 top of the line SUV doesn't even offer digital cluster, I mean come on, Toyota Corolla's and Honda Civics offer full digital dash. This supposed to be luxury, the only luxury is just the brand.

[@cgmiddle]

Their version of CVT technology is excellent.

[@bobbyblast5887]

Right a no buy..why CVt no wireless charging, turbo needs high test gas, small gps screen

[@Accost2u]

Nissan is out of money. I wouldn’t doubt Infiniti dying off in the next couple years.

Dear God, what are you smoking? The exact opposite is true.

[@occckid123]

False
