Specs at a Glance
The 2025 INFINITI QX55 combines sporty style with practicality, offering a sleek exterior design and a spacious, feature-rich interior. This small luxury SUV stands out with ample passenger room, an extensive list of amenities, and a powerful engine. Its unique coupe-style design also provides more cargo space than many competitors with similar profiles. If you’re considering the QX55 but want to stay within budget, the first two trims—the Luxe and the Essential—deliver exceptional value with plenty of features. Here’s a closer look at how these trims compare.
Performance
Both the Luxe and Essential trims share the same powertrain, featuring a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that delivers 268 horsepower and up to 280 lb-ft of torque. An automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive make for confident performance across both trim levels.
Appearance
The Luxe and Essential trims showcase a distinctive coupe-style body design with subtle differences between the two. Both trims feature LED headlights, but the Luxe comes standard with roof rails, 20-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and heated mirrors. The Essential adds adaptive headlights that pivot with your turns, along with rain-sensing wipers. Both trims offer two interior color options. The Luxe includes five exterior paint colors, while the Essential adds a sixth option.
Features
Seating for five and premium leather upholstery come standard with the Luxe trim, which also includes a sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and a dual-screen infotainment system. Other standard features include satellite radio, a six-speaker audio system, a wireless smartphone charger, Android Auto, and wireless Apple CarPlay. Both the driver and front passenger benefit from power-adjustable seats in the Luxe.
Safety features on the Luxe include lane-keep assist, forward and reverse collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. The Essential trim builds on this with additional features like front parking sensors, traffic sign recognition, and a surround-view camera system.
