Infiniti Qx55
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.
At MotorCaliber, we assess safety, and the Infiniti QX55 gives us a genuinely strong story to tell. The 2022 model year earns our best NHTSA Safety Index score of 99 out of 100, landing firmly in the Exceptional band, the highest tier we recognize. That headline number reflects a 5-out-of-5 frontal crash-test result, which is the most critical single data point in our evaluation framework. Side and rollover ratings were not available for scoring across covered years, which is a gap shoppers should note, but the frontal performance alone anchors a confident safety picture. Across the 2022 to 2025 model years, NHTSA has recorded just 2 recalls, a notably low figure for a four-year production window in any segment. Owner complaints total only 12 across all covered years, with zero reported crashes, zero fires, zero injuries, and zero deaths attached to those filings. It is important to note that complaints are unverified allegations, but the absence of serious incident reports is still a meaningful data point. The QX55 is not a volume seller, so complaint totals naturally run lower than mainstream crossovers, but the composition of those complaints, specifically the clean injury and crash columns, is reassuring. Our honest bottom line: the QX55 posts one of the stronger safety profiles in the luxury crossover coupe niche, with its lone meaningful caveat being the incomplete star-rating picture on side and rollover 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.
