The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is many things. It's a class-defying crossover, a host for the world’s first production-ready compression ratio engine, and the most advanced carrier to ever hit Washington’s roads. So, it should come as no surprise then, that on top of all that, it is also as aerodynamic as a sports utility vehicle can be.
As a key to the CUV's refined design, engineers placed particular focus on streamlining the exterior. The result is a six percent improvement on the drag coefficient over previous generation models. It currently earns 0.32 in the Cd department, which is significantly lower than even many performance cars.
This impressive stat can be attributed, in part, to the sleek body shape. A clamshell hood that flows effortlessly into the slanted A-pillars and an enclosed undercarriage encourage effective airflow over, around, and under the QX50 with minimal turbulence. Meanwhile, the bumpers and wheel arches were intentionally created to feature multiple slits that serve as inlets and outlets that assist in the efficient movement of currents through the vehicle openings.

The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is a category-defying crossover for many reasons. And, while it would be easy to discuss the proprietary VC-turbo compression ratio engine that it’s packing under the hood, there are myriad other little subtleties that make this ride a standout. Namely, its bold proportions and athletic stance that propel this sub-compact into new heights.
For starters, this CUV boasts an overall altitude of 66.1 inches, so passengers will be sitting pretty with an 8.6-inch ride elevation for maximum visibility. To further impress, an eye-point of 50.7 inches affords the operator a clear view whether commuting, parking, or watching a movie at the old drive-in theater.
With the choice of 19-inch or 20-inch options, the bold tire dimensions also add to the carrier's sense of agility and overall ruggedness. With the wheels reaching as far into the corners as structurally possible, there is a minimal intrusion from the arches into the cabin's interior space.
At 184.7 inches in length and 74.9 inches in width, the QX50 delivers a broad appeal to those in the market for a sports utility vehicle that looks the part, while still offering sedan-like handling and performance.

Chances are, you’ve heard about the all-new 2019 INFINITI QX50 by now. What with its state-of-the-art VC-turbo engine, it’s been no stranger to the headlines. However, to read about it is one thing. To see it in real life — up close and personal — is another altogether. To put it bluntly, this proprietary crossover is stunning.
What truly sets it apart from its competitors is the perfect articulation of the brand’s “Powerful Elegance†design language. Characterized by flowing sculptural lines, the QX50 evokes a fluid sense of motion, even when it's stationary. Strong and muscular proportions (184.7 inches in length, 74.9 inches in width, 66.0 inches in height) complement its commanding stance.
Modern design cues offer a fresh take on signature INFINITI styling. For example, while the brand’s iconic double-arch grille certainly makes an appearance on the bold front end of this ride, it is positioned higher on the nose than past generations and offers no gaps between the grille and the hood. These small tweaks make a big difference in further distinguishing the striking appearance of this category-defying CUV.
Moving along the profile of the QX50, sculpted character lines flow from a unique clamshell hood, leading back to sharp crescent-cut D-pillars — which visually extend the length of the roof. Meanwhile, the rear showcases a chrome tailgate stripe and matching dual exhaust tips.

Few things are sweeter than hitting the open road in a cruiser with gusto — picture it: the sun shining and the feeling of freedom in the pedal beneath your foot. There is an unmistakable air of power when you get behind the wheel of one of Nissan’s luxury brand's sedans. And now drivers who love a little more thrum in their throttle have the option to upgrade their INFINITI Q50 with a dynamic Sports Exhaust Kit.
This top-of-the-line add-on promises to enrich the operating experience, thanks to its efficient design and capabilities. Not only does the SE improve the aural exhale notes — delivering that swoon-worthy grumble true enthusiasts crave — but the actual architecture of the unit helps to reduce the overall vehicle weight. While the stock with mufflers decreases the load by about 9 pounds, those without silencers eliminate another 6: for a total of 15 pounds down.
Featuring polished T-304 stainless steel construction, the pipes can easily be installed in place of the originals without any additional modifications. Not only do they look sharp on the backend of your Q50, but the materials used in the build offer extra durability.

The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is a proprietary ride if there ever was one. Not only does it house the world’s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine, but aesthetically, it was thoughtfully designed to articulate the performance prowess under the hood.
With prominent proportions (184.7 inches in length, 74.9 inches wide, 66 inches high) and distinctive styling, this isn’t your next door neighbor’s CUV — unless, of course, your nearby acquaintance just happens to own a QX50, that is. With significant curb appeal and powerfully elegant exterior cues, this crossover was created to stand out.
Featuring the brand’s iconic double-arch grille with edgy diamond mesh, the face of this utility vehicle has a uniquely distinguished appearance. Meanwhile, a clamshell hood flows eloquently back, blending into the side profile character lines to create a long visual signature. Culminating at the rear crescent-cut D-pillars, the roofline appears to arc forward — evoking a sense of motion even when the vehicle is stationary.
Finally, the back taillights connect seamlessly with the chrome gate strip to further emphasize the bold and broad form.

While typically, our lineup of vehicles are designed for commuters, active families, road trippers, performance enthusiasts, and the like, we couldn’t truly call ourselves a luxury automotive company without being able to add a little grit to our resume. Because INFINITI’s are not just built to drive — they’re made to explore, adventure, navigate tricky terrain, and more. They’re intended as much for the journey as they are for delivering you to your destination.
So naturally, the brand was an obvious choice for the Explorers Club Hong Kong Chapter, who are heading out on an exciting voyage this upcoming June 5. Riding in a fleet of INFINITI SUVs, the ECHK will be making tracks across the Gobi Desert to revisit the historic expedition of Roy Chapman Andrews and identify new dinosaur fossil sites.
The excursion is meant to commemorate the last one hundred years of paleontological discoveries in Mongolia. Symbolic to the INFINITI's 30-year history of technological firsts, the collaboration represents an insatiable curiosity and desire to push boundaries in order to deliver fresh innovations that serve the global community.

With a taut, comfort-oriented, double-wishbone suspension system and the available Hydraulic Body Motion Control, this dominant four-door handles like a dream and can tackle severe cornering without a problem.

The 2018 INFINITI Q70 delivers the full package to Washington roads. On top of its stunning curb appeal and athletic performance, it also comes available with a full suite of safety features to keep you and your precious cargo secure at all times.
For starters, Predictive Forward Collision Warning utilizes radar on the vehicle to sense the relative velocity and distance of cars ahead. Impressively, it can gauge these details multiple objects forward and detect potential risk that may be obscured from the driver’s front-facing field-of-view. In such a scenario, the system will warn you to help avoid an incident.
Backup Intervention works similarly. By relying on sensors on both the sides and rear of the Q70, it will automatically alert the operator of a possible impact with a crossing automobile or large stationary objects when reversing. In severe circumstances, the world’s-first technology will cause the brakes to automatically engage to evade an accident.
To further impress, the Q70 also offers a proprietary Blind Spot innovation that aids to alert the motorist of obstacles outside of their line of vision. When necessary, the intuitive CPU will actively assist your sedan back towards the center of your travel lane.
