2023 Infiniti QX50 Overview What’s new: The Essential trim was changed to the dark-colored Sport trim. Several improvements, like a charging pad that works without wires, became the norm. In 2019, the second version of QX50 came out. The QX50 is the entry-level luxury SUV from Infiniti. It is positioned between the huge QX80 and the more significant, three-row QX60. The QX55 is based on the QX50 and has a roof that slopes like a coupe. The QX50’s low price is one of its pros. Even though it has many features as standard, it’s one of the least expensive small luxury SUVs. The prices are also fair for the higher trim levels. It has a large interior that can hold many people and things. The QX50’s top-of-the-line Autograph trim also has a striking interior with details that look like suede. The QX50 has many great features but needs to improve in some key areas. The variable compression VC-Turbo engine and continuously variable automatic transmission make the power that is only sometimes consistent and smoother than most of the competition. Even though it starts slowly and uses a lot of gas, it moves quickly once it gets going. The dual-screen infotainment system looks old and removes much from the otherwise modern and well-built interior. The Genesis GV70 is another excellent choice, and the Lincoln Corsair and Acura RDX are two more well-rounded SUVs with similar prices. For 2023, Infiniti made a few changes to the QX50, but none of them made the SUV much more competitive. The Essential trim has been changed to the new Sport trim. Inside are seats made of high-quality leather, a Bose sound system, and a black frame. The QX50 also came with a frameless rearview mirror that dims automatically and a wireless charging pad for smartphones. What do they like to live with? See our 2019 Infiniti QX50 Essential one-year long-term review for a more in-depth look. Since then, Infiniti has added a new infotainment system and more advanced driver assistance features, but the powertrain has mostly stayed the same. We liked how it looked, the parts that helped the driver, and the space for cargo and people, but we wanted to know how well it ran or how much gas it used. Pros vs Cons Pros: Space inside with furniture that’s easy to use Lots of room for stuff Easy to get in and out of Quiet on the highway Cons: Because of the CVT automatic, power is delivered inconsistently. In real life, more than fuel efficiency is needed. The adaptive steering feels very artificial and light. What is Invoice Pricing's Recommendation? The new Sport grade is the best deal if you don’t mind the dark trim and wheels outside (which may be ordered with any exterior paint color). In addition to everything that comes with the Luxe trim, you also get leather upholstery, front seats that can be heated or cooled, a Bose audio system, and a system that provides 360-degree visibility around the vehicle. Infiniti QX50 models The 2023 Infiniti QX50 comes in Pure, Luxe, Sport, Sensory, and Autograph trim levels. A four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2.0 liters and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is responsible for propelling the front wheels (268 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque). An all-wheel drive is an option on all trims except for the Autograph level, which comes with it by default. 2023 Infiniti QX50 Video Review
