great car
by Russell on 11/26/2025 1:56:19 PM
I've had this car 2 years and it's the best I've ever had and I've had BMWs, Mercedes and Blazers. This car does everything right. You get used to the CVT engine and the car is so fast it's amazing. Nothing has gone wrong and the service is incredible. The technology is perfect and the radio wonderful. I'm looking forward to get a new one when the lease is up - 5.0
Beefy impressive unique styling
by Toolguy on 7/24/2022 12:25:55 AM
Only negatives are the steering is not as precise as our previous Infiniti QX50, and the CVT requires getting used to. Overall quality is excellent, fit and finishes very well done, great syling outside and inside, super ground clearance, sweet 20" wheels, smooth ride even with run flat tires, great highway cruiser. We have see gas mileage better than factory ratings, as much as 34mpg highway with premium fuel. Appearance exudes quality and a rich feel. Infotainment systeme is good, not great, but more than sufficient for anyone's needs without going super tech. Cooled seats are nice surprise. Quite roomy and very comfortable seating. - 5.0
Love this QX55
by Coda on 6/4/2022 2:47:28 PM
I have the loaded Sensory model, its such a joy to drive every single time and very comfortable. My only issue is the infotainment system, kind of dated but works well.
