TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 Infiniti QX50 and QX55 crossovers have a sense of style and stand-out features, but they’re uninspired to drive.

The 2022 Lexus NX amps up the pixel count in its quest for crossover street cred.

TCC Likes

Curvy bod
Impressive driver-assistance tech
Turbocharged power

Grabby shape
Striking interior with contrast colors
Massive infotainment screens

TCC Dislikes

The QX55’s more costly
So-so infotainment setup
Mostly devoid of fun

Divisive looks, maybe?
No sport even in F Sport
Artificial feel in hybrids
