What's new

No significant changes for 2024
Part of the second QX50 generation introduced for 2019

Overview

One of today's more affordable small luxury SUVs, the 2024 Infiniti QX50 is also a solid value. A generous list of standard features, a roomy interior with high-quality materials and trim, and ample cargo space make the QX50 both posh and practical. Available all-wheel drive and a relatively high 8.6 inches of ground clearance — similar to a Subaru Forester's — also give the QX50 legitimate snow mobility and modest trail capability. But the Infiniti comes up short in other areas, most notably its sluggish engine and transmission pairing. It also doesn't have quite as cushy a ride quality as its luxury rivals. The QX50 makes for a sensible buy, if not an inspired one.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 INFINITI QX50 PURE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.58 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Content with competence

The QX50 received several useful updates last year and carries into 2024 with no major changes. Alas, the QX50 could really use a wallop of fresh power and a retuned, more responsive transmission to better compete with its lusher, sportier rivals. Then again, the QX50 is pleasantly competent, even borderline decadent with the Autograph trim's suede headliner, quilted leather and maple accents. It offers a raft of active safety features and even a sporty, coupe-style twin, the QX55, reviewed separately. You could do worse than the QX50 for the price, but better choices are within reach.

Competitors to consider

The Genesis GV70 is one of the best and newest small luxury SUVs, and it beats out the QX50 with better performance, a stylish, modern interior and a class-leading warranty. It costs more but delivers more. The Acura RDX also costs more (but less than the Genesis), but lively handling, an eager engine and standard all-wheel drive make a strong case. The European alternatives — Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Volvo XC60 — are pricier but outclass the Infiniti in performance and refinement. Read our test team's Expert Rating of the QX50 below to learn more about how it stacks up.

What’s it like to live with?

For a deeper dive, read our one-year long-term review of a 2019 Infiniti QX50 Essential. Infiniti has updated the infotainment system and added more driver aids since that first year of this current generation, but not much else has changed. We liked the QX50's styling, driver assist tech, and cargo and passenger room, but its performance, power and subpar real-world fuel economy were disappointing.

edmunds TESTED

The Infiniti QX50 boasts a roomy and quiet cabin and ample cargo space. However, outdated technology features and a perplexing driving character keep the QX50 from being a top pick in the segment.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

6.5/10

How does the QX50 drive? The QX50 lacks the polish we expect from a luxury SUV. Power isn't necessarily the problem. At the Edmunds test track, our QX50 sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which is an average time for a small luxury SUV with a base engine. It's all about how the QX50 goes about its business. For one, it's slow to respond. Press on the gas and it takes a beat or two before everything really gets going. This quality can get annoying when you want a quick burst of power, like when you need to pass a slow-moving vehicle. Around turns, the QX50 is competent, but nothing about its character inspires you to drive harder.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the QX50? The QX50 is decently comfortable. The front seats strike a nice balance of plush and supportive, with enough bolstering to hold you in place around corners. The seat heating and ventilation functions work quickly and powerfully, as does the climate system. Overall noise control is great inside the cabin as well.

The one area we don't love is the ride quality. It feels less settled than the BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC on bumpy roads. Around town, the Infiniti fails to iron out everyday road imperfections like a luxury SUV should.

What others are paying

What should I pay

See all for sale

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The cabin is roomy and has plenty of space but lacks the modern elegance of its competitors. The QX50 is low enough to make hopping inside an easy task for most people. Finding the right driving position shouldn't be a problem — the steering wheel has ample vertical adjustment and can telescope forward and back. Forward visibility is fantastic over the hood, but the rearward view could be better. It's hampered by the chunky rear roof pillars.

Technology

7.0/10

How’s the tech? Infiniti's two-screen infotainment system is now completely outdated, and after spending time with it, you realize that it creates more problems than it solves. The bottom display, in particular, is largely redundant and unnecessary. The system's reaction time is fine and it offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but it's lacking any real intuitiveness.

The QX50's driver assist features are straightforward to use. However, as a whole, they are less capable and slower to react than comparable ones from Mercedes and BMW. Anything beyond a gentle curve on the highway and the lane keeping system begins to have problems keeping the car in the lane. The parking sensors work well, but the quality of the surround-view cameras on the display is grainy.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The cargo area's ample size and helpful features really stand out here. There's plenty of space, and that's even before you fold the back seat or use the in-floor storage. This is one area where the Infiniti holds a competitive advantage over its closest rivals. Storage for smaller items isn't quite as generous as the cargo area is, but it will work fine for most people shopping for an SUV this size. Loading up a child safety seat will be made more challenging by the LATCH anchors tucked between the cushions.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Infiniti likes to tout the QX50's innovative powertrain, but we expected the fuel economy to be better. The EPA estimates the all-wheel-drive QX50 gets 25 mpg in combined city/highway driving, but we managed only 23.8 mpg on our mixed-driving standardized test route. That figure is lower than we'd expect and worse than other four-cylinder SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 and the Audi Q5.

Value

7.5/10

Is the QX50 a good value? While it isn't as sporting as the Germans, the QX50 delivers on the comfort and practicality front, justifying its similar pricing. Be careful with option package selection because some of them are pricey. The QX50's warranty is on par for the class with four-year/60,000-mile basic coverage and six-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage. There is no free scheduled maintenance, unlike what some other luxury brands offer.

Wildcard

6.5/10

While the QX50 doesn't have any dynamic missteps outside of the transmission, there's not much to get excited over either. It's roundly competent and doesn't shrink away from a curving road. Fun doesn't really enter the equation.

Which QX50 does Edmunds recommend?

If you don't mind its dark exterior trim and wheels — included with whichever exterior paint you choose — the Sport trim strikes the best balance of features and price. It builds on the Luxe trim features, with upgrades such as premium leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, navigation and a Bose audio system.
