• The starting MSRP for the 2024 QX55 is just over $51,000.

2024 Infiniti QX55: What’s New?

There are a few changes under the 2024 QX55’s curvy sheet metal. The Infiniti Premium Care plan is now standard across all trim grades, a maintenance program that covers 36 months or 22,500 miles (whichever comes first) of routine servicing.

Also new for 2024 are wireless smartphone charging, a rear door alert, a revised center console, and a new shifter design. 20-inch wheels are standard, while buyers can pick between six exterior colors: Hermosa Blue, Graphite Shadow, Slate Gray, Black Obsidian, Dynamic Sunstone Red, and Radiant White.

Engine & Drivetrain

Every 2024 Infiniti QX55 has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine with 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque. The engine connects to an Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and an all-wheel drivetrain that can send up to 50 percent of the engine’s available torque to the rear wheels.

Selectable drive modes include Standard, Eco, Sport, and Personal.

Fuel Economy

The Infiniti QX55 will reward drivers with an EPA-rated 22 in the city, 28 on the highway, and 25 combined when driven gingerly. But with a downshift rev-matching feature and paddle shifters, it’ll take a lot of self-control to resist the need for speed – especially with the QX55’s sloping roofline.

Towing Capacity

The 2024 Infiniti QX55 can tow up to 3,500 lbs. (when properly equipped), enough to pull a utility trailer, a pop-up camper, or a bass boat. The numbers are on par with the best midsize crossovers like the Mazda CX-50 and Toyota RAV4.

Cargo Space & Interior Amenities

The Infiniti QX55 is as roomy as its QX50 stablemate, which is surprising given the delicately curved roof design.

The second row does have less headroom than the non-coupe QX50, but it offers more storage space (26.9 cubic feet) behind the second row, upsetting the established German elite led by the Mercedes-Benz GLC (21.9 cubic feet) and BMW X4 (18.5 to 23.7 cubic feet, depending on the trim level).

Dropping the rear seats will give owners up to 54.1 cubic feet of cargo space, while a standard power liftgate makes loading groceries easier.

Elsewhere around the cabin, the Infiniti QX55 will pamper occupants with leather seats and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents. Standard tech features include a Wi-Fi hotspot, four USB ports, Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto, and SiriusXM radio.
