2024 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 INFINITI QX50 uses the world’s first mass-produced variable-compression turbocharged (VC-Turbo) engine3. The advanced 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 features Downshift Rev Matching and standard paddle shifters to help deliver a more engaging driving experience. QX50 AUTOGRAPH has additional powertrain enhancements giving it the ability to tow up to 3,000 pounds4, when properly equipped.
The innovative powertrain helps QX50 deliver impressive fuel economy figures of 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway with front-wheel drive or 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway with all-wheel drive5.
Tailored, functional design
The QX50 arrests attention with its sculpted look and muscular proportions, which draw on several key INFINITI styling cues. For example, the INFINITI brand’s double-arch front grille and crescent-shaped rear roof pillar, along with prominent crease lines along the bodysides and a sleek roofline, give the QX50 a distinct appearance. Buyers can further personalize QX50 to their tastes with a choice between 19- and 20-inch wheels, and seven exterior color choices comprising Hermosa Blue, Graphite Shadow, Slate Gray, Black Obsidian, Dynamic Sunstone Red, Lunar White and Radiant White.
QX50 is equally compelling for all inside, with highly curated interior materials that wrap around occupants. The second row of seats slides, allowing for optimizing between legroom or luggage room, and folds flat to create up to 65.1 cubic feet (64.4 with panoramic moonroof) of cargo space. A standard power liftgate, with available motion-activated function, eases access to cargo.
Technology at your fingertips
The appeal of QX50 culminates with an extensive selection of advanced technology that helps to streamline and simplify almost every trip. Those features begin with an impressive array of safety technology included as standard on every QX50, including Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking and High Beam Assist.
Standard ProPILOT Assist6 is equipped to help ease the driver’s workload in certain driving situations. The system can help the driver stay centered within their lane and assists with acceleration and braking - ideal assistance for longer highway journeys.
QX50 provides responsive, highly functional connectivity with a standard INFINITI InTouch7 infotainment system that has an 8-inch upper and 7-inch lower screen, with Android Auto™ and wireless Apple CarPlay®. To keep devices connected, QX50 offers a total of four USB ports throughout the cabin and a standard wireless device charging pad. Two available Bose® audio systems - Bose® Premium Audio System with 12 speakers and Bose® Performance Series Audio System with 16 high-performance speakers - create a more immersive audio experience for all passengers.
