The Infiniti QX55 brings a fastback coupe-SUV silhouette to the Saudi market, offering buyers who want something visually bolder than a conventional premium SUV a credible alternative to the BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. The 2026 QX55 starts from SAR 242,400, with all-wheel drive standard on every variant.
The 2.0 L turbocharged engine delivers 268 bhp through a CVT gearbox — smooth in everyday use and well-suited to urban and highway driving. The Luxe (AWD) trim opens with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, ProPilot driver-assistance systems, and dual-zone climate control. The top Sensory (AWD) trim adds a Bose premium audio system, head-up display, ventilated front seats, and an expanded panoramic moonroof — a worthwhile step up for buyers spending time on longer inter-city runs. Fuel efficiency is competitive for its class given the turbocharged output.
Pros: the coupe roofline and sculpted rear haunches give the QX55 a presence that stands apart from the more utilitarian QX50 and the boxy German SUV-coupes — it photographs exceptionally well. Standard AWD across all trims is a genuine value point against rivals that charge extra for it. Cons: the CVT transmission, while refined, will feel less engaging than the dual-clutch or traditional automatic alternatives offered by BMW and Audi in this bracket. Rear cabin height is noticeably compromised by the sloping roofline — a practical concession buyers must consciously accept.
Residual value data for the QX55 in Saudi Arabia is limited at this stage. Buyers should factor in that coupe-SUVs from non-European premium brands have historically depreciated faster than their German counterparts in the Saudi market — the lower entry price partially offsets this over a typical ownership cycle.
The BMW X4, Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe, and Audi Q5 Sportback are the QX55's closest rivals in KSA — all sharing the fastback-SUV formula and a similar price band. The QX55 makes its case on standard AWD inclusion and a lower starting price; the German three hold the edge on resale value and brand cachet in this market.
How much does the Infiniti QX55 cost in Saudi Arabia?
All three versions are all-wheel drive, so nothing on this ladder affects how the car gets its power down. SAR 242,400 buys the Luxe (AWD) and the 2026 list runs to SAR 272,700 for the Sensory (AWD). The gaps between the steps are small, which makes moving up the range unusually easy to justify.
Which QX55 trim is the one to buy?
The Essential. With identical mechanicals across the range, the middle car is where the driver-assistance package and the convenience equipment arrive, and the increment over the entry Luxe is modest. The Sensory is the interior-materials car — worthwhile only if the cabin is the reason you are buying.
Infiniti QX55 or BMW X4?
The QX55 is the better-value car and the more comfortable one, with a softer ride than coupé-roofed SUVs usually manage and all-wheel drive included at every level rather than charged for. The BMW X4 is quicker, tauter and holds its value more strongly, and that resale gap is the honest cost of choosing the Infiniti.
What does a QX55 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?
Less than the German alternative, and the reason is the parts bin. The 2.0 L turbo and its drivetrain are shared across the Nissan range, so components are widely available and priced normally, and routine servicing does not depend on a single specialist workshop.
Does the QX55 hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?
Slightly ahead of its class: about 52% of its value after five years, against roughly 51% for Japanese premium cars here. The QX55s CarSwitch inspects here sit at a median of around 20,000 km, which fits a model that has only recently started reaching used buyers in the Kingdom. At that distance the useful checks are paint and panel history rather than wear — the curved rear bodywork is costly to repair correctly, and an inspection report shows whether it already has been.
