Infiniti News: Infiniti Releases Teaser Image of New QX55

[Drew Dowdell]

Infiniti today released a teaser image of its upcoming QX55 crossover coupe. The QX55 is largely expected to be based on the Infiniti QX50, meaning a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive based crossover sporting a variable compression 2.0 liter turbocharged engine and a CVT.  The VC Turbo produces 268 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque.  The base QX50 starts at $37,250, so expect a QX55 to be slightly more money.

Infiniti will launch the car in 2020, but they say more details will come before then.

Because it is a coupe they can sell it for $10k more than the regular SUV because buyers are stupid.

IF they can sell it at all.... the QX50 hasn't exactly been lighting up the sales charts.  I'm not sure I've even seen more than one in the wild.

Very true, but crossover coupe = money to the marketing people.  I am shocked there isn’t an Escalade 4-door coupe with a fastback roofline and a 4 seat configuration, they could sell that for $130k easily.

An SRX with a roofline like the CTS coupe would have been really cool.

I have not seen any in the Seattle area, it is like a Ghost with no plasma holding ability. They are vaporware.
