It stands out even among coupe crossovers but it isn’t a retro look. Infiniti hopes a little bit of the FX magic will translate to the new QX55, a similarly sleek crossover coupe that the automaker has said is a direct reinterpretation of the FX’s silhouette. The vehicle was the Infiniti FX, and it was the first time “coupe” met “crossover.”ĭiscussing the old design earlier this year and crossover coupes in general, Infiniti’s senior global designer Taisuke Nakamura said that the category actually “didn’t exist before the FX.” The stylish FX was a big hit for Infiniti and “helped set the convention-pushing direction we’ve taken since,” said Nakmura. Back in 2002 when sport utility vehicles were generally big square boxes, Infiniti, the luxury division of Nissan, created a cocktail of sports car style and truck brawn unlike any other.


The 2022 Infiniti QX55 may be all new, but in some ways it’s a revival.

The 2022 Infiniti QX55 takes some of its stylistic inspiration from the 2003 Infiniti FX, a major hit for Infiniti and a key part of its design past.
