The 2023 Infiniti QX55 is a dynamic luxury SUV with a coupe-like profile and standard all-wheel drive. The QX55 was introduced in 2022 as an all-new vehicle, and it carries over into 2023 largely unchanged. Due to its fastback roofline, its 54.1 cubic feet of cargo space is low for the class, but it’s on par with other “coupe-SUVs” like the BMW X4. With the rear seats in use, the QX55 provides 26.9 cubic feet of cargo space, accessed via a standard power rear liftgate. For 2023, Infiniti adds peace of mind in the form of complimentary support and additional safety tech. A number of features are also now standard equipment.

Trims for the QX55 are Luxe, Essential, and Sensory. The entry-level Luxe now comes standard with perforated leather upholstery, rear-seat USB-C charging ports, and LED cabin welcome lighting. This joins the existing list of standard equipment that includes 20-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, push-button start, a moonroof, heated front seats, five USB ports, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The QX55 also comes standard with a dual-touchscreen infotainment system. The lower screen controls many vehicle settings, including climate. The upper screen operates the entertainment system, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Essential trim adds heated second-row seats, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Moving to the range-topping Sensory trim adds a head-up display, a hands-free power liftgate, and tri-zone automatic climate control.

The QX55 comes equipped with a 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It makes 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. This engine routes power through a continuously variable transmission with simulated “gears” that are operated via steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. All-wheel drive (AWD) comes standard on every trim of the QX55. This drivetrain returns fuel economy of 22 mpg city, 28 highway, and 25 combined. Premium fuel is recommended.

The QX55 comes with a host of modern driver assistance features, such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. For 2023, Infiniti has added ProPilot Assist as standard equipment, which includes smart cruise control with stop-and-go functionality at all speeds. It can also follow the flow of traffic, including lane centering. Infiniti has also added blind-spot intervention for 2023.

Base MSRP for the 2023 Infiniti QX55 is $49,150 for Luxe AWD trim. An Essential AWD trim starts at $54,250, and the range-topping Sensory AWD starts at $57,800. The Infiniti QX55 is backed by a six-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty.
