yea, I agree! their design team , product strategy , and their engineer department aren't on the same page.. IMO that's why their line up is not Cohesive! great exterior design language( design team) dated interior infotainment ( product strategy ) , awful power terrains ( engineering )
@@curtischapin6412 True. I look at my 2017 Pathfinder Platinum and I find that same outdated stuff in the QX55. Why would I move ahead? It's not like they can't use what they just freshly brought to the new Rogue, Pathfinder and QX60. C'mon Infinity, stop being cheap.
Love how Infiniti dares to think for itself and not follow the German herd. Two screens are always better than one! Dedicated buttons are a must. Love that color! What is it?
Honestly this looks great exterior wise and the color is amazing but the Infiniti FX will always be king. It was a Nissan 350Z in crossover form with it's great sporty handling and beautiful exhaust note.
Thank you, Infiniti!!! Just the other day I was hoping I could pay $60,,000 for someone to stick a 1993 Garmin into my dashboard in 2021. Dreams do come true!!!
exactly !! same here! Infiniti CANNOT justify this top of the line price of 63k if they wanted to! the GV70 is a better choice if you're going to pay 63k. 2.0T AWD 268hp CVT... EASY pass, however I do like the exterior of this Qx55
My aunt decided to buy the QX55 rather than other coupe suv's! Her points was the dual-screen infotainment (upper for apple car play and bottom for favorite radios, quite innovative she said) and also the looks with the red paint looks gorgeous! The drive was kinda vague but it was daily drive-able!
Best looking vehicle from Infiniti in quite some time. However, no matter how nice this looks, 60k for a CVT and a four banger is a non starter. There are so many amazing CPO vehicles available at this price point that would be faster and much more satisfying to drive.
Catching up on the reviews here man and legit Infiniti has a winner on their hands right here!!! Just a few more tweaks here and there and this thing is a stunner!!! Amazing review as always Joe and Lori!!!
I wouldn’t say it’s the best because of the CVT. It should be painted around the wheel openings on the top model but I think most people who buy the top model, like and expect some shiny trim. Great review Joe and great job Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Looks more like a 40,000 vehicle If you ask me. The exterior is nice however I feel like the front of the vehicle looks dated, compared to the competition. The tail end looks amazing however. The interior is outdated, and the cvt is a no go. Thank you for reviewing as always!
Car prices are going up across the board, even Jeep is now charging 66k for the high trim grand cherokee. Inflation really sucks! Consumers need to push back
@@EarthianZero Jeep has always charged 60k+ for their luxury Grand Cherokee If you arent a luxury shopper stick to a base trim or even just the regular Cherokee
Oh sweet, the same navigation and infotainment system from 2005 that's also in my 2019 q50rs made it into a brand new 2022 model. Great job infiniti! Looking forward for the q50 redesign in 2035.
The exterior is gorgeous, but the outdated look of the electronics and the dual screen and all those buttons next to the lower screen really remind me of all of their older vehicles. If Infiniti took care of that I’d be going to the dealership next week. Also, the CVT isn’t for me.
From an enthusiasts point of view yes, but the people buying this car could give 2 shits about powertrain. Once it looks good and it's comfortable, women will buy it and husbands will buy it for wives. I for sure is buying the new z or a performance sedan. I'm not an SUV guy so it doesn't matter much to me
Thanks for your great reviews. Regarding the infotainment screens of Infiniti, I don't see them bad point. I like these traditional screens better than these big tap that cover the whole dashboard like Mercedes and Genesis. In general Nissan and Infiniti is very solid and high end company with a long respected history. Still they are with far less deadly defects comparing to Hyunday and Kia.
Hey Joe, been watching you for a while now - I was wondering what you thought would be the best car to get for someone who owns a dog and commutes to work a lot, been thinking about getting the 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in but curious to see what you think Also, not a fan of that infotainment system in this Infiniti
Anytime I hear dogging of the CVT I take it as someone being bias. The CVT was going to be used by Williams in F1 but was quickly banned due to its efficiency!. I almost feel like the media has masterminded a smear compaign against CVTs. Mind you Toyota, Honda all use one now. I prefer a CVT over a regular slush box anytime. So responsive and handy for driving and passing immediate in traffic. Yes they are reliable.. I took my 2010 maxima up to 230k on the original CVT until I sold it.
It's a miss on this one!!! Perhaps with a 30k rebate/incentive on the 60k model. Come on Infinity!!! Let's do better on interior and power train for a 2022.
Beautiful vehicle, bet it drives like a dream. The plastic on the fender is pretty key if u like snowy mtns where they gravel the roads. It’s not as pretty out of the box but sure looks better “down the road.”
I was literally waiting for the "But first let's talk about Infiniti" or "right of the bat", I guess I'll have to accept Twinkie storage measurements for this review lol another great video man!
I've always loved having the map screen full screen and always on... their infotainment is not bad...I do enough touch screen bullshit with my phone and like a break.. CVT is a deal breaker...looks and styling are excellent...I just can't get over the fact it has a CVT....No performance or luxury car should have one...
Good afternoon joe great video excellent job interior nice performance okay color love be safe and blessed day happy holidays from New Jersey thanks for your video the best
To be honest, I like the interior of the Nissan equivalent/similar (like Rogue) more. Even the technology is better in Nissan. I really don't understand what Infinity/Nissan are doing here. So I don't see any reason for paying more for the Infinity and getting less (especially technology wise). Great video from you both again. Thank you.
I'm gonna Zonk the 2 Infotainment screens. They need to just put 1 Large 14 inch Screen. And, Infiniti has the Cheap looking Joy stick. For 60 grand the dash should be All Digital. Not mixed. But it is still a Pretty Enough Vehicle. And you can still fit a bunch of Twinkies in the Trunk.
yes a flat black wheel arch is like a compact suv appeal.....body color would look more elegant....even the rear bumper black accent makes it not elegant....i think
Looks really good, but for the money, it's missing a few features to demand that $60k price tag. Not to mention that CVT. Gotta get rid of that junk. CVT's aren't known to last and can be costly to repair/replace later on the vehicle's life.
i still like shiny chrome. looks more high end then black . it looks tacky and cheap. but maybe shiny black chrome will look nice just not matte black.
It looks great but Infinity lost me when they decided to go with a variable compression turbo engine putting power to a CVT transmission in a 60k vehicle. It’s prone to transmission problems. Mark my words.
🤪😍 if it had more power i would change my 18 q50 rs400 for the new qx55 but unfortunately it is not powerful enough for me, the qx55 is the most beautiful thing seen this year.
If Infiniti changes the transmission and infotainment system, this would hands down be perfect. 😍
yea, I agree! their design team , product strategy , and their engineer department aren't on the same page.. IMO that's why their line up is not Cohesive! great exterior design language( design team) dated interior infotainment ( product strategy ) , awful power terrains ( engineering )
Not without 4 way lumbar, wireless charging, and panoramic roof.
CVT not for me!
I agree! On the bright side, it looks like they’re heading in the right direction with the new QX60.
if they put the same transmission in the new qx60 in this it would be perfect
I love the design, but for $60k I feel like it should have some more features such as panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting
And digital gauge cluster + better infotainment. Infiniti missed the mark on this one for the price point big time.
I was saying the same thing
@@curtischapin6412 True. I look at my 2017 Pathfinder Platinum and I find that same outdated stuff in the QX55. Why would I move ahead? It's not like they can't use what they just freshly brought to the new Rogue, Pathfinder and QX60. C'mon Infinity, stop being cheap.
Look at the new nx 2022)) interior led, sunroof, wireless charger… And ofc automatic transmission seems like less noise unlike cvt.
Yes lord by the time I buy this it will cost me$70,000 our taxes are stupid crazy I’m not buying because of the price
Just traded my qx50 for the 55 ,love it so far
The infotainment system and CVT are serious deal breakers for me…beautiful car regardless
Those two really hurt badly for sure!
Exactly…it’s 2021 and they’re just now catching up to 2017 lol
O and that dated speedometer
What’s so bad about CVT? Enlighten me
Cvt has been redone, you don't have to worry. They fix the problem
I own a cx55. It is lovely and responsive enough for me. It is quiet too. Good job Infiniti. Hope I have no problem with the cvt trans

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
don't forget the CD player!
I think it’s a Tom Tom.
then pay an additional 30k for a Euro
Nice but I’ll stick with a gv70 at this price range
That is the way that i would go!
exactly !! same here! Infiniti CANNOT justify this top of the line price of 63k if they wanted to! the GV70 is a better choice if you're going to pay 63k. 2.0T AWD 268hp CVT... EASY pass, however I do like the exterior of this Qx55
Hmmm trying to find a way to like this comment twice
qx55>gv70
The GV70 will probably break down faster too knowing Hyundai reliability

They need a 3.5L V6 twin turbo no CVT and I would be very interested. I used to have a FX 50 and that car was awesome.
What a beautiful looking car from the outside. Why does Infiniti refuse to do something about their interior woes!
Test drove one the other day… don’t get all the hate on the CVT. In sport mode it asks drives pretty solid.
I figured it would.
The answer is no. The interior and powertrain can’t be balanced out by the good looks
What’s wrong with the interior?
Interior looks good, it's just infotainment that's bad, and even then it's better than having a touchpad
@@XxGunsling3rMODExX the interior looks dated as hell, look at the interior of the competition audi, acura, lexus etc
No panoramic roof, no wireless charging, CVT and a 2.0 turbo? At 60k is insane
@@letd1995 infinity just scamming customers

I want them to make the comeback they need to!
I was wondering why 60k and then I saw how they upgraded the interior by quite a bit, Nissan and Infiniti seem to be coming back around and I’m happy.
I wouldn’t say it’s the best because of the CVT. It should be painted around the wheel openings on the top model but I think most people who buy the top model, like and expect some shiny trim. Great review Joe and great job Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Very good calls on this one Larry!
They were smart enough to eliminate the CVT in the new QX60. Why couldn't they make the same judgement here?

Yep I still like my Acura RDX A-Spec all day over this plus it's $10,000 less.

YESSSS.. I thought it was just me.. This look outdated on the inside.. Everything should be all digital..
It still has the old duel screen Info etf lol that’s insane Infiniti ….
I can't believe they did that!
I’m not sure if they are doing this, but it would be awesome to see a “midnight” edition where they black out all of the trims on the exterior
Looks sick, they need to make a sporty performance version with a DCT
I agree, they should have blacked out the chrome on their. I like the style and look of the qx55, but blacked out trim. Nice job Joe👍🏽
I saw one of these on the road yesterday and it was a head turner on the highway.
I agree Joe. A painted fender and dark chrome would have complimented this sport infinity better.
I like buttons 🤷♂️.. I feel everything is touch screen and touch screens break/no longer responsive. They just needed this part to look cleaner
Happy Holidays Joe! Love your Infinity QX55 and I think it's a dandy but the flat black fender for me I love it perfect to A t.
Same to you my friend!
Thanks Joe! I think that if Infiniity was to make cars 100% perfect I think Infinity will be #1 but God is the only perfect man.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, i❤love the car.
Gotta say that's one good looking car from Infinity however this is one more hard to sell car. 👍
I totally agree with you on that!
competition blows this car away in the segment unfortunately

They should remake Acura ZDX. One of the originals in comparison to BMW X6.
What is that glorious color called? Hi Lori - Great Job!!! Keep them twinkies coming sir!
Great energy, detailed information, honest opinions and great humour!
🤣🤣🤣 ya commentary is hilarious and makes me hungry all the time 🤣🤣 I love it 😍❣️🤣💯
Very beautiful vehicle at a distance but it's missing alot that the competition is already bringing
Absolutely love this design!
If this had a 6 cylinder and no CVT, I’d be interested. It’s no match for my fx35

heated steering wheel? my 2011 max has one, Sunroof, heated seats, backup camera
Thank you Joe and Lori!!! Be safe happy healthy have a great Thanksgiving with your family

I don’t know I mean it’s not bad but I will be better off with a Acura RDX I think
this nice but gotta upgrade the infotainment like all the big dog SUV’s got plus the shift pedals and the transmission
They should make a red sport of this with a 9 speed or something and get rid of the fwd. it would actually be a good car.
Just refresh the interior and get rid of the cvt. Add a pano sunroof and you have me sold. For now, a GV70 seems much more ideal.
I was literally waiting for the "But first let's talk about Infiniti" or "right of the bat", I guess I'll have to accept Twinkie storage measurements for this review lol another great video man!
This Infiniti was designed for car rental dealerships -_-
Nooooo. 2liter? CVT? OH shit..

Beautiful SUV, but the CVT transmission is a Deal Breaker. Infiniti knows how to make a good transmission.
Honda , Toyota currently use CVT .

love the way you inform us on your videos.will you do the ford timberline anytime soon?
Nice sexy sheet metal and lighting then it goes downhill from there real fast.
WHOOO WEE! Love the red seats!🥰😍😍 A nice ride but between this car or the Genesis G70 I pick the G70.😁
hyundai is trash....
I'm Zonking the old style interior. The 2022 Infiniti QX60 is way better inside. It's a tie on the Exterior.
I love my QX55 and I have the same color.
That is so great to hear!
Wow wasn't expecting that much cargo space
It looks great but Infinity lost me when they decided to go with a variable compression turbo engine putting power to a CVT transmission in a 60k vehicle. It’s prone to transmission problems. Mark my words.

Oo so far two qx55 reviews from you nicee
I saw one on the road very nice & I can tell by the shape that they took a page out the BMW, & Mercedes book
They did a great job on the exterior look!
Desperately needs the interior of the new QX60
Cmon guys and let’s get to a million subs already!!!! 🔥💪🏼
🤪😍 if it had more power i would change my 18 q50 rs400 for the new qx55 but unfortunately it is not powerful enough for me, the qx55 is the most beautiful thing seen this year.
Can this fit three teens across the second row? Why noone bothers to check if cars fit 5 people?
I agree with you. A big zonk on the black fender/wheel flares in flat black. Reminds me of an older style Volvo.
Very good looking and elegant compact luxury SUV but I haven’t seen one on the road yet.
I think thus is a hot new Infiniti and I'm thinking about purchasing one.😊
