Inifiniti reveals the new QX55

Infiniti has launched the all new QX55 SUV via a streaming concert experience from Los Angeles. The QX55 was unveiled by Aloe Blacc, whose music connects to Infiniti with its verve and unmistakable sound.

The QX55's design retains all of Infiniti's daring design hallmarks, delivering a fresh interpretation of the FX silhouette. The QX55 inserts Infiniti back into a category it helped to create with an unapologetic style.

The signature double-arch grille is complemented by a stunning, origami-inspired mesh pattern that delivers visual depth and showcases modern Japanese-inspired artistry. Flanked by standard LED head lights that mimic the human eye, the QX55 announces its arrival in style.

Along the sides, the elegant and flowing lines reach from the bonnet, over the front fenders, across the doors, and over the rear wheels. 21-inch wheels are standard on all QX55 models, which fill the wheel arches and assert the SUV's dynamic presence.

Digital 'piano key' taillights combine 45 separate LEDs in a single housing to create an elegant light signature. The Infiniti logo on the tailgate is similarly advanced and houses the power tailgate release, which further frees the rear end from clutter.

Inside, the QX55 features Infiniti's dual-screen, InTouch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay compatibility, and multiple USB inputs for Android Auto compatibility and charging. The upper 8.0-inch and lower 7.0-inch high-resolution screens inform the driver and entertain passengers with an available Bose audio system delivered through up to 16 speakers, providing a concert like acoustic experience.

Leatherette, leather, or semi-aniline leather appointments for the seats adorn the QX55's interior, and its sliding second-row seats provide flexible cargo capacity or increased legroom, depending on need.

Under the hood of every QX55 is Infiniti's award-winning and innovative Variable Compression Turbo four-cylinder engine that makes 264bhp and 363Nm of torque. The dynamic engine imperceptibly changes its compression and displacement to deliver enhanced efficiency or on-demand power, based on the driver's needs.

That power is shifted through a confident Continuously Variable Transmission with manual shift mode and delivered to Infiniti's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which is standard on all QX55 models. A Drive Mode Selector empowers the driver with programmable settings (Standard, Eco, Sport and Personal) to tailor each drive.
