Model overview

The QX50 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Infiniti, Nissan's luxury brand, and sold across two generations. The initial generation QX50 was unveiled in 2013 at Nanjing Auto Show and was a small model update of the Infiniti EX. The second-generation was introduced in 2016 at Beijing Motor Show and entered production in November 2017 as a 2019 model.

The Infiniti QX50 is available in five trims: Pure, Luxe, Essential, Sensory, and Autograph. Each trim is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that uses variable compression (VC-T for short). The engine produces 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque and mates with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard, while the all-wheel drive is optional on all trims.

The EPA estimates the front-wheel-drive QX50 at 24 mpg city and 31 freeway. The all-wheel-drive model has the same city rating but 1 mpg less on the freeway.
