Imagine a vehicle that is as individual as you are - one that intelligently adapts to your unique style while still navigating the changing conditions of the road. Envision a ride that feels less like a machine and more like an extension of you.
The 2019 INFINITI QX50 takes such a fantasy and turns it into a reality. With an advanced Drive Mode Selector, the operator’s reign goes beyond the bounds of the steering wheel. With the ability to choose and change the DM to best suit your needs, this proprietary CUV makes commuting more personal.
By adjusting variables such as engine output, transmission shift points, and steering ratios, the QX50 can effectively transform at the turn of a dial. It offers four options to choose from.
"Standard" is perfectly suitable for everyday urban riding. By delivering a smooth and steady ride, this is the default method. The 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine will earn you an impressive 24 MPG in the city.
"ECO" is an excellent choice for long-distance travel. It dulls the responsiveness of the throttle pedal, removing sensitivity while improving efficiency. You’ll easily bank up to 30 MPG on the highway.
"Sport" does the exact opposite of the above. Keeping the CVT on its toes, it maintains elevated revs to deliver more vigor. With a 6,000 RPM redline, this crossover can produce up to 268 HP with 280 lb-ft of torque.
"Personal" empowers the motorist to pick their own adventure. Owners can mix and match device gears and wheel manipulation to create a setting that’s truly one of a kind.

For active urbanites who aren’t afraid to stand out, the new 2019 INFINITI QX30 features an exciting (and fashionable) package option. A mostly aesthetic-focused upgrade, consumers can choose to add the "City Black Theme" to their SPORT model CUV.
While we know the name of it sounds pretty dapper, you’re probably wondering what’s included in this exclusive trim. Allow us to enlighten you.Â
Â
Replacing the standard leatherette seating, graphite suede-like synthetic upholstery makes a sharp statement. Significantly softer to the touch, the texture adds a sensuous vibe to the modern interior. Additionally, this special-grade material also decorates the dash and door panels.
Creating a unique contrast against the dark gray tone of the cabin, purple French stitching adds a contemporary flair. For cohesiveness, the QX30 S boasts distinctive 19-inch wheels (upgraded from the 18-inch set that come standard) with violet accents to match the inside. Machine-finished and made from aluminum alloy, the rims are wrapped in 235/45R19 run-flat summer tires.
Finally, available in a striking pearlescent midnight paint color, the edgy hue adds to the athletic appearance of the exterior.

Now available to Washington drivers, the 2019 INFINITI QX60 outdoes itself in its new model year. It's already among Nissan’s luxury brand’s bestselling vehicles. And now, the latest and greatest version of this versatile three-row, seven-passenger SUV features a number of significant security enhancements.
Keeping you and your passenger’s safety a top priority, the most advanced driver’s aid innovations come standard on all grade levels.
For instance, Blind Spot Warning uses proprietary sensors located on the side body to identify objects that may be outside the operator's line of vision. In the event that you attempt to depart from your lane when it is unsafe to do so, the BSW function will notify you through audible and visual cues.
Predictive Forward Collision Warning works similarily by utilizing monitors at the front of the QX60. If a potential incident seems likely, the PFCW alerts will sound. If no action is taken by the motorist, the Emergency Braking function kicks in. Capable of autonomously halting itself, this gentle giant of a carrier aims to protect your precious cargo at all times.

Good things come to those who wait. Lucky for you, you won’t have to bide your time for too long as the latest and greatest 2019 INFINITI QX30 is set to launch this fall!
With five-door versatility and a go-anywhere attitude, it’s the ideal vehicle for active urbanites. Marked by a balance of coupe sportiness and crossover utility, it’s the same sub-compact CUV you have come to know and love. However, with a new model year (the brand is actually calling it the 2018.5), this hot hatch receives a number of significant enhancements.
For starters, Forward Emergency Braking is now standard on all grade levels. By utilizing sensors on the front of the carrier, the QX30 is able to predict a potential collision and autonomously apply pressure to the dampers in order to halt the vehicle and avoid impact. Needless to say, this advanced safety shield is sure to inspire confidence in drivers and passengers alike.
Additionally, if you choose any of the upgraded trim levels — LUXE, SPORT, or ESSENTIAL — you can enjoy the benefits of a panoramic moonroof. With the push of a button, flood the cabin of your QX30 with natural light and take delight in a fresh breeze flowing through your hair.

If the 2018 INFINITI Q60 had been around 20 years ago, the movie, “How Stella Got Her Groove Back†might have had a completely different ending. Instead of finding love in a young suitor, Stella might have found herself driving off into the sunset behind the wheel of a sexy little coupe.
This little hot rod is fitted with a 3.0-liter V6 engine capable of producing 300 HP with 295 lb-ft of torque. Needless to say, it's as equally thrilling (if not more) than any vacation love affair. With a double-overhead-camshaft configuration, the 24-valve twin-turbo unit separates the intake and exhaust for more efficient combustion. That means, a pedal uniquely sensitive to the operator’s touch, delivering greater responsiveness for quick acceleration.
As part of the brand’s InTuition System, the Q60 caters to the personal needs of its owner through an advanced customizable digital environment interface. Forget compromise! This proprietary IT allows the motorist to define their ideal atmosphere — from the cabin temperature to mood-setting music — and then delivers it, no questions asked.
Making it the total package, this sports car is also adaptable. Equipped with a highly-refined seven-speed automatic transmission, it features a Mode Selector. Accessed via a dial on the center console, you can adjust the settings to meet your performance needs. With six available options to choose from — Personal, Standard, Snow, Eco, Sport, and Sport + — the Q60 is malleable to your desires (and the road conditions, too).

If you are in the market for a versatile crossover with a stylish, multi-tone interior, consider the new 2019 INFINITI QX50. Its trendy cabin design boasts a unique color combination inspired by luxury resort hotels. The goal is to simulate the relaxing feeling of being on vacation.
Slip inside this five-seater, and you will immediately see what we are talking about. Rich, chocolate brown wood accents replicate the appearance of surrounding trees, and the creamy ivory shade represents the sandy shoreline. Going further into the beach theme, dark navy blue hues decorating the center console create a balance between the warm and cool colors.
Executive Design Director, Karim Habib, not only wanted to give off a beachfront paradise vibe, but he also sought to incorporate the most popular shades for this year. According to PANTONE® Fashion Color Trend Report 2018, the hues Coconut Milk, Emperador, and Sailor Blue are all on the radar.
Another element that set the 2019 QX50 apart from the sea of competitors is the finish. While most models present a high-gloss sheen, INFINITI decided to go with a genuine matte maple wood dashboard. The grain has been treated to retain its natural texture, demonstrating top-level craftsmanship.

Let’s face it: the perfect wingman is often hard to find. The role requires a delicate balance of composure under pressure, the ability to think fast, and the wisdom in knowing when it’s time to let you take control of the situation. Lucky for you, the 2018 INFINITI Q60 more than meets the requirements. Designed to instill confidence in drivers, this sweet little coupe provides extensive backup in a variety of situations.
Equipped with a proprietary Around View Monitor, the car utilizes a suite of cameras strategically positioned around its exterior body. When shifted into reverse, you’ll receive a live stream panoramic perspective of your surroundings. So, while you set your sights on the prize, you can observe the environment and detect any potential obstacles in the way.
Meanwhile, Distance Control Assist ensures you’re not getting too close, too soon … to any vehicles traveling ahead of you. Working in conjunction with the Intelligent Cruise function, the feature allows you to choose your preferred length of room between bumpers. Once selected, the car will autonomously adjust its velocity based on the flow of traffic in order to maintain the ideal proximity.
Most importantly, your compadre knows when it’s time to pump the brakes. With Backup Collision Intervention, if the intelligent CPU predicts an accident when moving rearward, it will automatically apply pressure to the dampers to stop the vehicle. How’s that for looking out?
Bonus! While the 2018 INFINITI Q60 is ultra sexy, its good looks will be working for you: not against you. (It is just a car, after all.)

How many times have you heard the age-old saying, “looks aren’t everything� It’s an expression often uttered as a reminder to help us see past a glossy, put-together exterior. It challenges us to consider the real qualities that make something (or someone) worth our interest and time. Cliched from years of overuse, nonetheless, what’s true for a potential suitor is also for cars — "it’s what’s on the inside that counts." And while the ultra sexy 2018 INFINITI Q60 is an obvious head-turner, designers of this sleek coupe knew that outside appearances only get you so far.
So, in an effort to deliver the total package — a hottie body with an interior to match — Nissan’s luxury brand provides a coupe with a cushy cabin that aims to impress. Sophisticated craftsmanship shows an advanced sense of artistry that can be felt from the moment you slip inside.Â
Â
With a driver-centric, passenger-minded assembly, the Q60 seduces its occupants. All operation dials, switches, and controls are within reach of the motorist. Meanwhile, shotgun riders are encouraged to sit back and enjoy the ride (with 43.1 inches of legroom, no less).
Tailored to the one behind the wheel, the cockpit features ergonomic high-back bolstered seating. This offers greater thigh, lumbar, and lateral support. Spinal relief chairs have been specially engineered to match the curvature of one’s vertebrae. Not only does this afford improved comfort, but, by minimizing the pressure on lower and upper dorsal muscles, it’s also healthier for all involved.
To further impress, this sleek two-door keeps the mood intact through Active Noise Cancellation. The system works to counter low-frequency noises by producing opposite-direction soundwaves. This neutralizes any unwanted feedback so that, no matter how fast you’re cruising, you’ll still be able to hear any sweet nothings whispered in your ear.

Living in Washington, it’s relatively easy to escape to the coast when you get a few days off. The Pacific Northwest setting provides the perfect playground for fun in the sun. And, while you can’t take the beach with you when you leave, what if you could enjoy a little bit of those vacation vibes everywhere you go?
The all-new 2019 INFINITI QX50 is now available with an exclusive Autograph interior: inspired by the look and feel of a luxury resort. Finished in supple leathers and tailored stitching with a multi-tone color combination, the upscale cabin channels that easy breezy feel one might experience when walking into a seaside hotel.
The seats are a creamy off-white hue that perfectly represents the kind of fine-grain sand that feels so soft between your toes. Meanwhile, as a cool accent, dark navy blue Ultrasuede is used on the center console. Symbolic of the ocean waters, this contrast helps to create a unique balance between warm and cold shades.
A rich chocolate brown is reminiscent of organic properties found in nature such as logs or trees. This tone perfectly complements the open pore wood that replaces typical high-gloss surfaces. Specially treated to retain its natural texture and grain appearance, the authentic bark-like material creates a modern and highly tactile dashboard.
