#INFINITI #QX50
Next up is the eye-catching, newly available QX50 SPORT grade. It receives a visual boost thanks to a unique front fascia, 20-inch dark-painted and machine-finished wheels and gloss black exterior trim pieces. The QX50 SPORT also adds semi-aniline, leather-appointed seating and a Bose® Premium Audio System with 12 speakers.
The 2023 QX50 adds several new standard convenience features across all grades. Newly standard features include heated outside mirrors, remote engine start, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, Rear Door Alert and a wireless phone charging pad. A new 19-inch alloy wheel design is featured on QX50 PURE and LUXE, while QX50 LUXE now includes a motion-activated liftgate as standard and a newly available Bose® Premium Audio System with 12 speakers. Finally, the 2023 QX50 adds a Radiant White exterior color option (select grades), plus Pebble Gray and Monaco Red interior colors (select grades).
The 2023 INFINITI QX50 is available in five grades. PURE, LUXE, SPORT and SENSORY feature standard front-wheel drive and available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, while QX50 AUTOGRAPH has standard AWD. The 2023 QX50 is on sale now with a starting MSRP1 of $40,300. (See full pricing details for all 2023 QX50 grades.)
Advanced powertrain
At the heart of the INFINITI QX50 is the world’s first mass-produced variable-compression turbocharged (VC-Turbo) engine. The 2.0-liter engine can seamlessly change its compression ratio to optimize for improved fuel efficiency or greater power output, depending on the driver’s demands. It is rated for an impressive 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an XTRONIC transmission that benefits from Downshift Rev Matching and standard paddle shifters, helping deliver a more engaging driving experience. On the QX50 AUTOGRAPH, additional powertrain enhancements give the QX50 the ability to tow up to 3,000 pounds, when properly equipped.
As a result of the powertrain’s innovative design, the QX50 also delivers impressive fuel economy figures: 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway with front-wheel drive or 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway with all-wheel drive.

You got me excited when you said an 8 speed auto transmission at the start of your video. It's a CVT and Nissan has had horrible CVT issues in the past. Transmissions breaking after 40,000 miles! I would seriously consider one if it had a real 8 speed transmission!

I have a 2017 Qx50 AWD 3.7L V6, with a custom exhaust, air filters, wheel and tires. I love it still! Trying this one out one time as a loaner, and I believe it was FWD, was a surprise. I did like the look, but, it felt as if the build were slightly cheaper and also the engine was not impressive and a bit rough for an SUV. I wish that they still offered one of their V6 engines, or twin turbo V6...that would certainly help things.

Mom had one for a loaner and I had a NX as a loaner. I’m guessing the NX350h is better built because the NX350 drove and felt like a RAV4. Tire noise was unbelievably loud. If Infiniti just refreshed the exterior/interior of the Q50 and swapped the transmission for the 9 speed; it would be a better vehicle than the IS. I firmly believe that with the QX50 as well. The interior is much quieter and quality was very good from my mom’s loaner.

I had 3 straight Infiniti's; G37 IPL, first year QX50 and a Q50 Red Sport, so I was a fan of the brand. Infiniti is treading water, still hitting the Nissan parts bin, I see bits from my 2016 Q50 still being used, and the CVT is a hard no sale for me and many enthusiast buyers. Infiniti's biggest problem now is Genesis, state of the art tech, beautiful design inside and out, competitive pricing, and better warranty. I wanted a QX55, hoping it would be a full modernization with a good power train, and don't they use the CVT!! After hard shopping the Germans I bought a Genesis GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige, everything that Infiniti and IMO Lexus could have changed in their latest models. Infiniti needs a complete modernization to stay competitive....

I own a 2024 NX350, but rented one of these for a road trip. In comparison, the NX makes much more sense. The QX50 is roughly the same price, but has a few stand out issues - 1) The transmission noise is an issue - its super load in the cabin and causes noise floods. 2) The interior infotainment is a mess (why 2 screens and why are they both touch screens lol?!)

The wide angle lens gives too much of a fish eye effect. Kinda makes me dizzy. I'm not much of a Nissan/Infiniti fan, but for the right price Infinitis can be decent purchases/leases. They tend to include a lot of options for their price. I bought a used older model for my kid.

Infiniti just isn’t a luxury brand. It’s burns me to say that, cause I had a 2004 G35 back in the day, one of best cars I’ve ever owned. Thats when Infiniti was at its best, and they were actually making luxury cars that could compete with Lexus, Audi, BMW etc. They just aren’t appealing in the luxury market anymore, they’ve fallen so far behind their competitors. If I were looking for a luxury midsize crossover, I would never even consider the QX50, cause you can get an X3,Q5,NX or RDX for all around the same price.
