    Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury car brand for overseas markets, announced the 2023 model year of the Infiniti QX55 SUV coupe in the United States on June 28. It will go on sale in the U.S. market this summer.

    ◆Perforated leather interior.

    The QX55 is Infiniti’s re-entry into the luxury crossover coupe market, one of the fastest growing segments.

    For its 2023 model year, the QX55 is well-equipped. These include perforated leather interior, 4-way power lumbar support for the driver’s seat, rear door handles with LED welcome lights, and Type C USB ports on the rear seats.

    The ESSENTIAL grade adds a traffic sign recognition system. It also features cube-design LED headlights with self-leveling and an adaptive front lighting system. The SENSORY grade has heated second-row seats.

    ◆Mesh patterned grille inspired by Japanese origami paper

    Infiniti launched the first generation FX in the North American market in 2003. Infiniti positions the first-generation FX as having pioneered the currently popular luxury crossover coupe market. Infiniti returned to the segment established by the first-generation FX in 2003 with the QX55, the only luxury mid-size SUV coupe in the category to be developed in Japan. In addition to its bold exterior, the QX55 has a luxurious interior and features innovative technology in terms of connectivity and other aspects. It is said to have been designed to target a new group of buyers, including younger generations who are tech-savvy and prefer bold designs.

    The design of the QX55 is a reinterpretation of the FX silhouette while maintaining Infiniti’s bold design. The iconic double-arch grille is said to express modern Japanese-inspired artistry by creating depth through a mesh pattern inspired by Japanese origami paper. The body side design features elegant, flowing lines from the hood, through the front fenders and door panels to the rear fenders. 20-inch wheels are standard equipment on all models, reducing the gap between the body and the wheels and asserting the SUV’s dynamic presence.

    The taillights, with 45 LEDs in a single housing, were intended to look like the keys of a digital piano. These LED taillights were also introduced in the QX60 Monograph, a design study model. The “”INFINITI”” logo was placed on the tailgate. A smart power liftgate was also adopted.

    ◆World’s first variable compression ratio engine “”VC Turbo
    The powertrain is an inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with variable compression ratio “”VC Turbo. It draws a maximum output of 268hp and maximum torque of 38.7kgm. The VC Turbo engine developed by Nissan is the world’s first variable compression ratio engine for mass production. The variable compression ratio technology utilizes a multi-link system that seamlessly changes the upper dead center position of the piston, and features a quick change to the optimum compression ratio.

    The compression ratio can be freely changed between 8:1 (high performance) and 14:1 (high efficiency). Depending on operating conditions, the engine’s control logic automatically selects the optimal compression ratio. This technology also offers many advantages, such as significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions, noise and vibration levels, and a lighter and more compact design compared to existing engines.

    The transmission is a CVT with manual mode, and the drive system is 4WD “”Intelligent AWD. The drive mode selector allows the driver to choose between “”Standard,”” “”Eco,”” “”Sport”” and “”Personal”” modes.

    ◆Infotainment system with dual screens

    The interior features INFINITI InTouch, a dual-screen infotainment system that is compatible with the wireless Apple CarPlay. It also supports Google’s Android Auto and has multiple USB input terminals.

    The high-resolution screen, 8 inches on the upper side and 7 inches on the lower side, is combined with a BOSE audio system that comes with up to 16 speakers. The company claims that the system delivers a concert-like acoustic experience that entertains the driver and passengers.
