Infiniti SUV Models Ranked For 2025

Infiniti, as a brand, has seen better days, but it’s still kicking for now. With the uncertain talks of a merger between Nissan and Honda, the brand has had to make some tough decisions. One such decision relates to Infiniti’s SUV models, as the automaker has decided to end the production of half of its available lineup after this model year. As of this model year, there are still four cars on sale, ranging from an Infiniti crossover with a rather outdated interior to a full-size luxury SUV. Here are all four Infiniti SUVs still on sale in 2025, ranked by BuzzScore.

These Infiniti models have been ranked according to their BuzzScore, which is based on our research and test drive reviews. We list these in order from lowest to highest rated.

The first model on this list of Infiniti SUVs is the QX55, with a BuzzScore of 7.5 out of 10. This compact crossover is based on the slightly roomier QX50, which we’ll talk about next. It’s up against some tough competition, like the Audi Q5 Sportback and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe, but the Infiniti doesn’t seem to have what it takes to keep up these days. The interior is nice enough, but its infotainment system is still the same double-screen format introduced in the QX50 in 2017.

There are only three trims available to choose from for the 2025 model year. The lineup starts with the Luxe at $50,150, then there’s the Essential for $55,100, and finally the Sensory trim at $58,650 before destination. When you consider the performance, standard features, and an otherwise outdated dash, some feel as though Infiniti doesn’t do enough to justify those prices. For example, the comparable Lexus NX 350 AWD costs $45,900 to start.

“It feels like the QX55 lacks personality. There’s nothing particularly sporty about it, though it is reasonably comfortable. A soft ride combined with a quiet cabin makes the QX55 an adequate highway cruiser, but we’d be hard-pressed to say it’s superior to anything else in the compact luxury SUV segment. Overly light steering and drive modes that do little to alter the powertrain do nothing to inspire excitement while driving.”

Under the hood of all three models is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. While that’s not too bad for an engine of that size, it’s still not enough to be exciting. A continuously variable transmission brings power to all four wheels across all three trims, and they all get 22/28/25 mpg city/highway/combined. Our test driver found his experience behind the wheel underwhelming and lacking personality. From the time this coupe-styled SUV was introduced in 2021 until now, it’s had a hard time being competitive in its segment.

Meeting in the middle of modern luxury and what was once great is the Infiniti QX50. While we just talked about the QX55, and how its outdated character is sending it to an early grave, the QX50 that it’s based on won’t fare much better after this model year. This model is up against giants like the BMW X3 and the Genesis GV70, which are both more modern inside, and the Genesis sends more power to the wheels. Like we mentioned with the QX55, the QX50 was introduced in 2017, but its infotainment suite has never benefited from an update. The rest of the interior still feels upscale, but it certainly lacks in some areas.

One thing it has going for it, at least compared to the aforementioned coupe, is the QX50’s price. There are only three trims to choose from. The starting price is several thousand dollars less than rivals from BMW and Genesis. At $43,000, the lineup starts with the Pure trim, then the middle Luxe version at $46,300, and topping the line is the Sport, which starts at $51,200.

Like two other Infiniti SUVs on this list, it’s powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. All three trims have standard all-wheel-drive and CVTs, meaning they manage an estimated 22/28/25 mpg city/highway/combined. This powerplant is good for a 0-60 sprint of about 6.3 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 141 miles per hour.

Infiniti’s midsize SUV, the QX60, ranks pretty well with a BuzzScore of 8.5 out of 10. This SUV has been one of the brand’s best-selling models for a while. There are four trims to choose from: the Pure, which starts at $50,200 in FWD, the Luxe, at $56,800 in FWD, the $61,100 Sensory, and the top trim is the Autograph with a base price of $66,150 before destination and other fees. All four trims have available all-wheel-drive, and a host of other luxury features.

The mechanical details are nothing to write home about. While the QX60 used to be powered by a beloved V6, the 2025 model dropped two cylinders. Now, under the hood of every trim is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are still respectable for a 2.0L, and it has better fuel economy. With a nine-speed automatic transmission and FWD, the QX60 gets 22/28/24 mpg city/highway/combined.

9 /10


When ranking Infiniti SUV models by size, the QX80 is the biggest by a large margin. As the brand’s newest model, and potentially standing to be the last in the near future, the QX80 is also the most luxurious inside. It doesn’t have the severely outdated interior of some other Infiniti models. In fact, it feels like a real luxury car. Whether it’s one of the best luxury cars or not is up for debate, so you’ll have to get behind the wheel of one to make that decision.

It does have some neat features, like 10-way massaging semi-aniline leather seats with open-pore wood veneer, or quilted leather graphite or burgundy and metal inlays, depending on which trim you choose. When properly equipped, the second-row seats can be heated/ventilated with a touchscreen mounted in the center console to activate the rear massage, and even the third row gets a taste of the action with heated seats.

“Infiniti needed a stellar product to turn its fortunes around, and although it’s not perfect, the QX80 feels like that car. It’s stylish, comfortable, spacious, and full of luxury features. For the first time in over a decade, we’d genuinely consider one against rivals from America, and we’d probably buy it over the current Lexus LX 600.”

– Jared Rosenholtz, Editor-at-Large, CarBuzz

As for the basics, there are four trims to choose from, starting with the Pure at $82,450 in RWD format and ranging up to the Autograph 4WD for $110,595, before destination and other fees. Powering every model is the same 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that makes 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Since it’s built on a truck frame and has plenty of power, you can also tow up to 8,500 pounds.
