Infiniti has officially launched the all-new QX55 SUV, described as “the spiritual successor” to the FX series, in the region.
The event in UAE’s Dubai Design District stayed true to the brand’s values – human, daring, forward – which were both captured and espoused by the UK artist, George Rollo, with creative Japanese-inspired collectibles.
Eclectic beats were spun by acclaimed DJ Sonya, nominated as one of the top 100 female DJs in the world, and a top 10 DJ in the Middle East.
“The Infiniti QX55 pays homage to the soul of our iconic crossover coupe heritage, while propelling us forward, blending beautiful Japanese craftsmanship, seamlessly integrated technology, and confident performance,” said Nasif Siddiqi, the managing director of Infiniti International Markets.
“Inifiniti has a history of making vehicles that are bold and innovative, and we believe that the QX55 has the potential to create a new generation of brand advocates in the region,” he added.
The QX55's signature double-arch grille is complemented by a stunning, origami-inspired mesh pattern that delivers visual depth and showcases modern Japanese-inspired artistry.
They are flanked by standard LED headlights.
The elegant and flowing lines of the all-new model 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.
The rear of the QX55 accentuates the subtlety of the automaker’s design and interpretation of Japanese minimalism by coupling an uncluttered liftgate.
Digital “piano key” taillights combine 45 separate LEDs in a single housing to create an elegant light signature.
The Infiniti logo on the tailgate 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” and lower 7” high-resolution screens inform the driver and entertain passengers with an available Bose series audio system providing a concert-like acoustic experience.
Leatherette, leather, or semi-aniline leather 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 the QX55 is Infiniti’s award-winning and innovative Variable Compression Turbo four-cylinder engine that outputs 268hp and delivers enhanced efficiency or on-demand power.
That power is shifted through a 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 offers programmable settings (Standard, Eco, Sport and Personal).
The QX55 is packed with a suite of intelligent safety technology, including Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention System, Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection to Blind Spot Warning and Intervention and Backup Collision Intervention.
The Infiniti QX55 will be available in three categories: Luxe, Essential and Sensory.
