Show-stealing, all-new INFINITI QX55 debuts as next breakout performer for luxury brand

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • Provocative shape and decadent interior highlight all-new #suv, bound for U.S. and Canada in spring 2021
  • Standard 20-inch wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay™ compatibility, and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive among the driver oriented features
  • Introduces new customers to the brand and brings a Japanese luxury offering to the midsize #suv coupe category 

YOKOHAMA, Japan – The all-new #infiniti #qx55 was unveiled today via a streaming concert experience from Los Angeles, bringing a modern twist to the luxury midsize #suv coupe segment the brand created with the iconic FX decades ago.

The #qx55 combines a provocative exterior with a decadent interior designed to attract new buyers that are young, tech-savvy and driven by daring #design. #infiniti returns to the segment as the only Japanese luxury coupe offering on the market today.

“The new #infiniti #qx55 is a statement maker, designed to deliver first-class comfort and stand out everywhere it goes,” said #infiniti Chairman #peymankargar. “It’s a unique fusion of style and substance.”

The virtual event beamed from the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles brought together immersive discussions with Senior Vice President of Global #design Alfonso Albaisa and INFINITI’s general manager of product strategy and planning, Eric Rigaux, in Tokyo, and Kargar, wrapped in a concert #performance by singer-songwriter #aloeblacc.

The QX55’s #design retains all of INFINITI’s daring #design hallmarks. The signature double-arch grille is complemented by an origami-inspired mesh pattern that delivers visual depth and showcases modern Japanese-inspired artistry.

Along the body sides, elegant and flowing lines reach from the hood, over the front fenders, across the doors, and over the rear wheels. Digital “piano key” taillights combine 45 separate LEDs in a single housing to create an elegant light signature, recently featured on the stunning QX60 Monograph #design study.

Inside, the #qx55 features a dual-screen #infiniti InTouch™ infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay™ compatibility, and multiple USB inputs for Android #auto compatibility and charging. Leatherette, leather, or semi-aniline leather appointments for the seats adorn the QX55’s spacious interior, and 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 generates 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. 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 in the U.S. and Canada.

The all-new #qx55 is the latest new model to be introduced under the Nissan NEXT transformation plan, and the first production model in that plan from #infiniti, the premium brand of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

It is expected to launch in North America next spring as a 2022 model and will be followed by the highly anticipated future QX60, previewed last month as the #design concept QX60 Monograph.
