Ever since its debut in 1989, INFINITI’s runaway success has been fueled by the mentality that “good enough is never enough.” With the introduction of the stunning new 2022 INFINITI QX55, it’s safe to say that that ideal is still alive and kicking. In fact, the QX55’s breathtaking design may have raised the bar for what drivers in Memphis, Tennessee, should expect from a luxury SUV.
A bona fide showstopper
While the platitude may remain true for lesser vehicles, it seems that in the case of the INFINITI QX55, you can judge a book by its cover. Up front, you’ll find the brand’s signature double-arch grille, which is accented by a mesh pattern inspired by the art of origami. The body immediately asserts itself with a sleek profile, a wide, athletic stance, and a combination of flowing lines and edgy accents. Stunning, standard 20-inch wheels round out the package with subtle yet confident flare.
The back of the QX55 may mostly be seen by envious onlookers as you pass by, but they’re in for a treat. Channeling INFINITI’s trademark style of Japanese minimalism, the liftgate is understated, with digital “piano key” taillights providing a well-deserved element of sophistication.
Bask in luxury
The 2022 INFINITI QX55’s interior more than matches the high expectations set by its outward appearance. You can choose to adorn the seating with leatherette, leather, or semi-aniline leather upholstery, and the modern layout guarantees that you won’t be left wanting for substance to match the plentiful style.
Naturally, the QX55 boasts a full regiment of advanced entertainment and convenience technology. The dash confidently boasts a dual-screen InTouch infotainment system, which comes equipped with wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration. If you want to transform your QX55 into a concert house on wheels, opt for the available 16-speaker Bose® premium audio system.
Performance
When you’re behind the wheel of the INFINITI QX55, you will be in control of the brand’s award-winning Variable Compression Turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This dynamic powertrain puts out 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, balancing efficiency and on-demand power to give you a thrilling driving experience.
Paired with this engine is a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that has manual shift mode to give you the shifting experience you want, when you want it. Its smooth ride and refined handling make your daily drive better.
The QX55 comes standard with INFINITI’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system to help you take on inclement weather when it hits Memphis, and you can tailor each drive with a Drive Mode Selector. This feature allows you to choose from four programmable settings — Standard, Eco, Sport, and Personal — depending on your mood and the road conditions in any given moment, giving you a truly unique experience every time you’re behind the wheel.
With this powerful powertrain and all-wheel drive, the INFINITI QX55 still manages to get an estimated fuel-efficiency rating of 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.* This is a solid number to help you reduce the number of stops you make at the gas pump each month.
