Infiniti Ventures Into the Crossover Coupe Market With Its 268-Horsepower QX55

Nissan’s luxury branch Infiniti is venturing into the crossover coupe market, unveiling the new QX55.

Now replacing the brand’s previous FX series, the new model receives a sportier and more aggressive exterior makeover, pairing more pronounced curves and edges with modern detailing such as its digital headlights and a front grille inspired by origami. Sitting under the hood is the automaker’s very own Variable Compression Turbo four-cylinder engine, capable of pushing out a decent 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque through an Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive setup.

With luxury at the forefront of its brand, Infiniti has also ensured the new QX55 provides a high level of comfort for both driver and passengers, wrapping most of the interior with leather upholstery. A dual-screen InTouch infotainment system supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the center console with another dual-screen configuration gives you easy access to all the car’s features. For those with a more refined taste in audio, you can also upgrade to a Bose audio system that utilizes a staggering 16 speakers positioned all throughout the cabin.

Available in three trims — Luxe, Essential and Sensory — the Infiniti QX55 crossover coupe will arrive in spring 2021.
