The 2025 INFINITI QX50 delights with its eye-catching design, spacious interior, a lengthy list of features that enable everyday convenience, and the responsive power of a 2.0-liter Variable-Compression Turbocharged (VC-Turbo) engine.

For the 2025 model year, the QX50 is streamlined to three grades – LUXE 2WD, LUXE STYLE AWD, and SPORT – with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

Design for visual appeal and function

The 2025 INFINITI QX50 makes a splash with muscular proportions and sculpted bodywork. INFINITI’s signature double-arch front grille and crescent-shaped rear roof pillar help the model stand out, while its rounded roofline and prominent, sharply defined lines along the bodysides add depth.

For buyers seeking an even more dynamic appearance, QX50 SPORT wears a sport front fascia with numerous exterior elements painted black: the roof rails, window trim, front grille, liftgate trim, exhaust tips, door handles, and badges. The visual enhancements continue inside with enhanced ambient LED lighting and a Graphite headliner.

QX50 LUXE 2WD includes 19-inch, silver-painted wheels, LUXE STYLE drives on 20-inch dark-painted aluminum allow wheels, while QX50 SPORT has 20-inch dark-painted wheels with machined finish. Depending on the trim level, customers can select from seven exterior color choices: Hermosa Blue, Graphite Shadow, Slate Gray, Black Obsidian, Dynamic Sunstone Red, Lunar White, and Radiant White. Inside the cabin, both the LUXE 2WD and LUXE STYLE grades feature dark aluminum trim and Graphite upholstery, and the LUX STYLE grade has the additional option of Pebble Gray upholstery; QX50 SPORT has black aluminum accents and either Graphite or Monaco Red semi-aniline leather appointments.

The well-appointed cabin is both beautiful to behold – with detailed, soft-touch materials throughout – and functional for passengers and cargo alike. The second-row slides, allowing for optimization between legroom or luggage room, and folds flat to create up to 65.1 cubic feet (64.4 with panoramic moonroof) of cargo space.

Advanced turbocharged engine for effortless power

Backing up its energetic outward appearance, QX50 delivers strong and responsive performance thanks to the world’s first mass-produced Variable-Compression Turbocharged (VC-Turbo) engine. The 2.0-liter engine delivers 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque and is complemented by an XTRONIC transmission that features Downshift Rev Matching and standard paddle shifters to help deliver a more engaging driving experience.

With standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive on all grades, the 2025 QX50 delivers a fuel economy of 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.

Intuitively integrated technology

As in all INFINITI vehicles, QX50 incorporates technologies that help make the journey more connected, more convenient, and more entertaining. The standard INFINITI InTouch infotainment system has an 8-inch upper and 7-inch lower screen, with Android Auto™ and wireless Apple CarPlay. A total of four USB ports and a wireless device charging pad are standard. A 12-speaker Bose Premium Audio System is standard on QX50 LUXE STYLE and SPORT, delivering richer and more lifelike audio.

QX50 also features an impressive array of standard safety and driver assistance technology, including Intelligent Cruise Control, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking, and High Beam Assist. ProACTIVE Package is equipped to offer support in certain driving situations. The system can help the driver stay centered within their lane and assists with acceleration and braking.

QX50 also has numerous standard features that make every drive a little more luxurious, including acoustic front side window glass and active noise control to keep the cabin more serene, and dual-zone automatic climate control allows drivers and passengers to select their preferred temperatures. QX50 offers standard heated seats, a panoramic moonroof, roof rails, and other luxurious touches, while notable QX50 SPORT equipment includes remote engine start and head-up display, enhanced ambient lighting, ICC with steering assist, climate-controlled seats, navigation, and Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection.
