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.

Makes me wonder if we are in the era of a new model for every inch in length. 🤔

Ugh, so Datsun's deluxe arm is copying Benz, BMW and Chevy.  Big surprise.

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.

      Infiniti News: Infiniti Planning Five New Models by 2022
      By Drew Dowdell
      Infiniti is planning on launching five new models over the next 3 years. The first will be the QX55 that we reported on the other day.  It is a crossover coupe version of their QX50 crossover and is expected to be powered by the same 2.0-liter variable compression engine.
      Next up is the redesigned QX60. Expect it to look much more SUV like than that of a crossover. Infiniti says the styling will be dramatically different than the QX60 on the lots today. They mention that the gas powered model will have a large grille, which implies there will be an electrified model coming as well.  They are also planning on offering two 12.3-inch touch screens and a two-tone roof.  The QX60 is Infiniti's best selling vehicle.
      After that, Infiniti will be launching three electrified vehicles, a crossover and two sedans.  The vehicle will be offered as fully electric or with serial hybrid technology which is similar to that in the Chevy Volt where a gasoline engine recharges the batteries which power the car. Styling is expected to take after the Q-Inspiration concept shown at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show.  The three vehicles are following a "three vehicles, one platform" concept and will all be related.

      Infiniti Releases Teaser Image of New QX55
      By 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.
