If you are the type of detail-oriented consumer who knows exactly what you want in a vehicle, then you will love the opportunity to build your dream INFINITI QX50 with a multitude of exterior upgrades available for the 2019 model.
While regular old lighting is fine and all, this sporty crossover deserves the best (and so do you!). Adding AFS to your package instantly improves the quality of your ride. By assessing both the speed and steering wheel angle inputs, the adaptive system will automatically direct the headlamps to ensure the glow spreads evenly across the road, providing superior illumination at any hour.
Heliophiles and stargazers rejoice, the QX50 can readily be equipped with a panoramic moonroof. With push-button open, close, and tilt, you can flood your cabin with fresh air and natural light. A power sunshade allows you to enjoy the wind in your hair while blocking out any harsh UV rays.
As an added bonus, you can choose between a standard or motion-activated liftgate. While the former is convenient enough with fob entry, the latter utilizes motion sensors built into the fender of the CUV, making access to the rear cargo-space completely hands-free.

The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is designed with intention. Every curve, angle, line, and surface has been thoughtfully articulated in order to create not just an aesthetically pleasing CUV, but one that delivers on aerodynamic performance as well. The latest model features a drag coefficient of 0.32 — a six percent improvement from previous generations.
To achieve this new benchmark, an incredible amount of planning went into every detail. Aspects such as the visually long, clamshell hood and enclosed underbody were specially created to encourage airflow over, under, and around the vehicle. Not only does this reduce noise and feedback heard within the cabin, but it also aids to minimize turbulence.
Meanwhile, both the bumpers and wheel arches feature subtle slits — inlets and outlets — that help to promote dynamic currents so that wind can move through the exterior of the vehicle rather than come up against it.
Additionally, the roof of the QX50 receives a slight recessing towards the back end of the body, which reduces the tendency for eddies to form. The unique tailgate spoiler connects to the rear window and contributes towards the overall “zero lift design.â€

Despite inclement weather and — at times, quite literally — an uphill battle, the Boston Marathon went off yesterday without a hitch. Competitors from all over the world showed their strength and tenacity on the historic 27.2-mile course. Leading the way was the 2019 INFINITI QX50.Â
Â
As part of an ongoing partnership with the B.A.A., the luxury brand’s all-new proprietary SUV proudly served as a pace-setter for participants of the famous sporting affair. Behind the wheel of the QX50 was a local community hero and volunteer, Deb Kerr, who works with the Semper Fi Fund to support military members as well as victims of the 9/11 and Patriot’s Day attacks.
In addition to showcasing the bold design and innovative technology of the QX50 on the track's stage, INFINITI was also happy to donate $10,000 to the SFF in celebration of the “Year of Service.†“It is truly an honor to have the most advanced vehicle we have ever created leading the runners at one of the world’s more renowned athletic events,†said Tedros Mengiste, the regional Vice President for the East division.

As far as standard models go, the QX50 PURE leaves little to be desired. Locked and loaded with the proprietary 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine, drivers can cultivate maximum energy and efficiency through the world’s-first compression ratio powertrain. 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels contribute to the aggressive stance of this ride; while inside, occupants can enjoy leatherette-appointed seats and a dual display system that allows for easy access to controls and functions.
The QX50 LUXE adds further aesthetic and safety upgrades. Passengers will love the power panoramic moonroof that, when opened, floods the cabin with natural light. Meanwhile LED fog lamps help to improve visibility in inclement conditions.Â
For those who crave even more, the QX50 ESSENTIAL model leaves no stone unturned. Complete with InTouch Navigation and Services, this top of the line model provides an Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection. This advanced technology utilizes a combination of cameras and sensors on the body of the vehicle to ensures you always have a clear sense of your surroundings.

By now, it’s probably safe to assume that we have all heard about the 2019 INFINITI QX50 and its world's-first production-ready variable compression ratio engine. However, it can be hard to understand what that mouthful of words actually means—especially if you’re not fluent in automotive jargon (and few people are). Let’s demystify this transmission witchcraft, shall we?
Â
After 20 years of development, Nissan’s luxury brand is unleashing the advanced 2.0-liter VC-Turbo this year in select models. This new proprietary powertrain utilizes a multi-link system to automatically raise or lower the reach of the piston’s stroke to optimize for either energy or efficiency.
Utilizing the Harmonic Drive reduction gear, the vehicle can predict the required quotient and instantaneously adapt with no additional input from the driver. In layman's terms, this motor is smarter than your average four-cylinder. It seamlessly adjusts to different variables in order to provide instant access to power and torque when you need it.
To further impress, because this innovative mechanism is continuously transforming based on road conditions to optimize the driving experience, it is currently targeting an improved fuel economy of up to 27% over competitor models.

The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is a hot topic of discussion these days as it comes loaded with the most advanced engine—a proprietary VC-Turbo compression ratio transmission—to ever grace the roads. However, what’s inside this luxury crossover is just as impressive as what’s under the hood.
The interior design of this world-class SUV showcases a level of “advanced human artistry.†It does so by employing Japanese approaches—a nod to the brand’s heritage—to the use and treatment of cabin materials.Â
The ambience inside the QX50 evokes a high-quality feel. Achieved by using bespoke manufacturing methods, every inch of hand-wrapped leather (such as along the instrument panel) appears finitely tailored, sewn with much attention to detail.
The seats are a perfect example of how comfort meets luxury. Featuring a laser hole-cut stitch pattern and accentuated with contrast piping, the result is a rich curation of materials that begs to be admired. Utilizing the same method, the door panels and asymmetrical dashboard articulate motion through the curves of the cockpit.
To further impress, an optional moonroof can visually enhance the space by providing a panoramic view of the sky.

Considering the exorbitant prices of gasoline these days, it is an exceptionally nice perk when your vehicle is ranked highly for fuel economy. Thanks to its all-new VC-Turbo engine (which utilizes optimized compression ratios), the 2019 INFINITI QX50Â delivers both low emissions and cost-effectiveness.
Where previous QX50 models still managed to pull an impressive-for-their-size 17 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway, According to Road Show, the Environmental Protection Agency recently rated the newly upgraded 2019 version at 24 MPG and 31 MPG respectively—a significant improvement by any standard that naturally equates to less time spent at the pump.
However, this advancement in the world of engine technology is not only good for your wallet; it is good for the atmosphere as well. This proprietary powertrain wizardry also helps to improve the QX50’s rating on the greenhouse gas and emissions scale by two points, jumping from a four to a six. While this may not seem like a noteworthy development, on a 10-point system, those numbers are meaningful.
