Infiniti Qx55 Safety
NHTSA safety across every Infiniti Qx55 model year we cover.
Across the 4 model years of the Infiniti Qx55 we cover (2022 to 2025), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2022 at 99 on the NHTSA Safety Index, and the lowest is the 2023 at 84. 2 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Infiniti QX55 is a sleek, coupe-styled luxury crossover SUV that slots into the premium midsize segment, competing against style-forward entries like the BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. Aimed at buyers who want a distinctive roofline without sacrificing practicality, the QX55 pairs an athletic silhouette with Infiniti's upscale cabin experience, targeting urban professionals and design-conscious families who refuse to compromise on presence.
The 2022 Infiniti QX55 achieved a 5-out-of-5 frontal crash-test rating from NHTSA, contributing to its overall NHTSA Safety Index score of 99 out of 100. This places it in the Exceptional tier, the highest available. While side and rollover crash-test ratings were not published by NHTSA, the robust frontal impact performance underpins the vehicle's strong safety assessment. For the 2022 to 2025 model years, NHTSA records show only 2 recalls, a low number over a four-year production span. Owner complaints across the same period total 12. None of these complaints allege crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. Although owner complaints are unverified, the absence of serious incident reports within that data set is noteworthy. The QX55 presents a strong safety profile in its market segment, with the primary outstanding safety data point being the unrated side and rollover crash tests.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the QX55 for its striking coupe roofline and upscale interior, positioning it as a style-first alternative in the luxury crossover space. Most acknowledge that rear headroom and cargo capacity are compromised by the sloping roofline, and opinions on the powertrain are mixed, though the overall driving experience and cabin refinement tend to draw favorable marks.
- The 2022 QX55 earns a 99 out of 100 NHTSA Safety Index score, placing it in our Exceptional band, the highest tier we assign, anchored by a perfect 5-out-of-5 frontal crash-test result.
- Side and rollover star ratings were not available across the covered 2022 to 2025 model years, meaning the full NHTSA five-star picture is incomplete. Shoppers who weight those specific test results should factor in that data gap.
- Only 2 recalls have been issued across four model years of the QX55, a low recall count that reflects a relatively clean regulatory record for this generation.
- All 12 owner complaints filed with NHTSA across covered years show zero reported crashes, zero fires, zero injuries, and zero deaths. These are unverified allegations, but the absence of serious incident reports is a positive indicator for shoppers evaluating real-world safety concerns.
