Is the 2022 Infiniti QX55 the BEST new luxury sport SUV to BUY?

[@gengstar09]

If Infiniti changes the transmission and infotainment system, this would hands down be perfect. 😍

[@Mr.Lambert777]

yea, I agree! their design team , product strategy , and their engineer department aren't on the same page.. IMO that's why their line up is not Cohesive! great exterior design language( design team) dated interior infotainment ( product strategy ) , awful power terrains ( engineering )

[@monaharp783]

Not without 4 way lumbar, wireless charging, and panoramic roof.

[@JAROME74]

CVT not for me!

[@jayc9045]

I agree! On the bright side, it looks like they’re heading in the right direction with the new QX60.

[@louisnguyen6038]

if they put the same transmission in the new qx60 in this it would be perfect

[@ayaannadeem6814]

I love the design, but for $60k I feel like it should have some more features such as panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting

[@curtischapin6412]

And digital gauge cluster + better infotainment. Infiniti missed the mark on this one for the price point big time.

[@muzikshobey1272]

I was saying the same thing

[@sergiovalente3036]

@@curtischapin6412 True. I look at my 2017 Pathfinder Platinum and I find that same outdated stuff in the QX55. Why would I move ahead? It's not like they can't use what they just freshly brought to the new Rogue, Pathfinder and QX60. C'mon Infinity, stop being cheap.

My aunt decided to buy the QX55 rather than other coupe suv's! Her points was the dual-screen infotainment (upper for apple car play and bottom for favorite radios, quite innovative she said) and also the looks with the red paint looks gorgeous! The drive was kinda vague but it was daily drive-able!

[@chantestephens]

I figured it would.

[@csg6262]

Best looking vehicle from Infiniti in quite some time. However, no matter how nice this looks, 60k for a CVT and a four banger is a non starter. There are so many amazing CPO vehicles available at this price point that would be faster and much more satisfying to drive.

[@johnperrin8788]

They need a 3.5L V6 twin turbo no CVT and I would be very interested. I used to have a FX 50 and that car was awesome.

[@JAZZYLGPRODUCTIONSLLC]

Nice but I’ll stick with a gv70 at this price range

[@RaitisRides]

That is the way that i would go!

[@Mr.Lambert777]

exactly !! same here! Infiniti CANNOT justify this top of the line price of 63k if they wanted to! the GV70 is a better choice if you're going to pay 63k. 2.0T AWD 268hp CVT... EASY pass, however I do like the exterior of this Qx55

I was wondering why 60k and then I saw how they upgraded the interior by quite a bit, Nissan and Infiniti seem to be coming back around and I’m happy.

[@GiotheGhreat]

Amazing review! I had a 2017 Audi A5 and that car left an impression on me; years later I have this QX55 2023 and it reminds me a lot of the nice feeling that I felt with the A5! Very smooth, very comfortable, super quiet; You basically don't feel the road cracks or little bumps. I think Infiniti did a great job with this SUV. Pretty quick for a 260HP (2017 A5 is 275HP - 4 Cylinder with a single turbo). Is a nice car.

The exterior is gorgeous, but the outdated look of the electronics and the dual screen and all those buttons next to the lower screen really remind me of all of their older vehicles. If Infiniti took care of that I’d be going to the dealership next week. Also, the CVT isn’t for me.

[@RA-oy6bg]

Anytime I hear dogging of the CVT I take it as someone being bias. The CVT was going to be used by Williams in F1 but was quickly banned due to its efficiency!. I almost feel like the media has masterminded a smear compaign against CVTs. Mind you Toyota, Honda all use one now. I prefer a CVT over a regular slush box anytime. So responsive and handy for driving and passing immediate in traffic. Yes they are reliable.. I took my 2010 maxima up to 230k on the original CVT until I sold it.

[@TheGronk78]
