Infiniti has launched the all-new QX55 SUV via a one-of-a-kind streaming concert experience from Los Angeles.

The Infiniti QX55 is the spiritual successor to another one-of-a-kind moment: the Infiniti FX. Like its predecessor, the QX55;s daring roofline and unapologetic shape are in tune with equally bold buyers; the QX55 doesn’t have something for all people -- it aims to be everything to some people.

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 headlights that mimic the human eye, the QX55 announces its arrival in style. Along the body sides, the QX55’s alluring profile has plenty to say but doesn’t speak out of turn.

The elegant and flowing lines reach from the hood, over the front fenders, across the doors, and over the rear wheels. Twenty-inch wheels are standard on all QX55 models, which fill the wheel arches and assert the SUV’s dynamic presence. The rear of the QX55 accentuates the subtlety of the automaker’s design and interpretation of Japanese minimalism by coupling an uncluttered liftgate with handsome, understated technology to deliver a lasting impression.

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. The Infiniti logo on the tailgate is similarly advanced and houses the power liftgate release, which further frees the rear end from clutter.

Inside, the QX55 features Infiniti's dual-screen, InTouch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and multiple USB inputs for charging.

The upper 8-inch and lower 7-inch high-resolution screens inform the driver and entertain passengers with an available Bose audio system providing a concert like acoustic experience. Leatherette appointments for the seats adorn the QX55's spacious 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 268 horsepower and 380 Nm 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.
