Nissan is in some dire straights as of late, and after a failed merger with Honda, the Japanese automaker’s future is uncertain. This outlook extends to Nissan’s luxury brand, Infiniti, which only sold 58,070 vehicles in all of 2024. Of those sales, a meager 3,721 were accounted for by the 2025 Infiniti QX55, a coupe SUV version of the compact QX50. The QX55 may be a niche product, but combined with the QX55’s 10,722 units in 2024, the two models represent nearly 25% of Infiniti’s total sales volume in the United States. The QX50 and QX55 will be discontinued after the 2025 calendar year, taking nearly a quarter of Infiniti’s sales with them. What the heck went wrong with these crossovers, and where does Infiniti go next?
