Coupe-styled version of the QX50 (2021+). VC-Turbo engine, sloping roofline.
The Infiniti QX55 is a coupe-styled crossover based on the QX50. It trades some rear headroom and cargo space for a sloping, fastback-style roofline, echoing the original FX design language in a smaller package. It shares the VC-Turbo variable compression 2.0 liter four and CVT with the QX50. On WhipJury, the QX55 is a style-led family crossover rather than a performance pick.
QX55 specifications
VC-Turbo 2.0 liter variable compression four, around 268 horsepower, CVT, all-wheel drive standard in most markets. Coupe-style roofline over the QX50 platform.
Frequently asked questions about Infiniti QX55
What is the difference between QX55 and QX50?
The QX55 is the coupe-styled version of the QX50, with a sloping fastback roofline. It sacrifices some rear space for styling but shares the same VC-Turbo drivetrain.
Does the QX55 use the VC-Turbo engine?
Yes. Like the QX50, it uses the 2.0 liter VC-Turbo variable compression four paired with a CVT.
Is the QX55 all-wheel drive?
All-wheel drive is standard on most QX55 trims, suiting its premium crossover positioning.
Is the QX55 practical?
Less so than the QX50 due to the sloping roof, which reduces rear headroom and cargo height. It is aimed at buyers prioritizing style.
Is the QX55 reliable?
It shares the QX50 mechanicals, so the same notes apply: the VC-Turbo is complex and the CVT is a long-term consideration. Maintenance discipline helps.
