Editors' Review
Design is the 2022 Infiniti QX55's top selling point; the crossover-coupe's gently sloping roofline, expressively sculpted body and perky little tuchus all drive this point home. With plenty of visual drama and the functionality of a utility vehicle, this luxury coupe-over gives Infiniti something to entice motorists that would otherwise park an Audi Q5 Sportback, BMW X4 or Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe in their garage. But should you give into this temptation? In short, probably not.
Matching its avant-garde exterior, the QX55's cabin is similarly swoopy, with an artfully sculpted dashboard and a center stack that elegantly flows down to the console. Dark-finished aluminum accents brighten up Luxe and Essential trims, though the pinnacle Sensory grade benefits from open-pore maple-wood trimmings. In the midrange Essential model tested here, the materials used on the doors and dash look and feel good, though not everything is this nice.
Leatherette seating surfaces are standard in the base Luxe model, while Essential-level QX55s feature real cow hides… but you'd never know it. The seats are covered in a stiff and shiny leather that feels like low-grade vinyl that got slathered in the rubbery plastic you find on the handles of a pair of pliers. Top-shelf Sensory models, however, come with semi-aniline leather, which should be a huge step up.
