2025 Infiniti QX50 Gets Standard All-Wheel Drive, Priced From $44,350
Entering its seventh model year since a redesign, the QX50 remains one of Infiniti’s strongest sellers. While there are no new features on the compact luxury SUV for 2025, the two top trim levels — Sensory and Autograph — get the ax this year, and all-wheel drive, previously a $2,000 option, is now standard.
Powertrain Specs and MPG
Infiniti’s trick VC-Turbo engine powers the QX50. Displacing 2.0 liters, this turbocharged four-cylinder generates 268 horsepower and 280 pounds-feet of torque and is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. With the newly standard AWD, the QX50 returns the same fuel economy as the 2024 model — 22/28/25 mpg city/highway/combined — per Infiniti (official figures for the 2025 model are not yet available).
Availability and Pricing
The 2025 Infiniti QX50 goes on sale later this month. Full line pricing, including the $1,350 destination fee, is as follows:
- Pure: $44,350
- Luxe: $47,650
- Sport: $52,550
Safety Features and Trim Levels
Standard safety tech on the 2025 QX50 includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind spot intervention, rear cross-traffic assist with automatic braking, lane departure warning, lane departure steering assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams.
In addition, the entry-level Pure includes 19-inch wheels, a power liftgate, LED head- and taillights, keyless entry and starting, and remote start. Inside, it features synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. The infotainment system consists of two touchscreens, an 8-inch up top and 7-inch below, with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto; it also gets wireless smartphone charging and six speakers.
The list of add-ons for the Luxe trim level is short but meaningful: a panoramic moonroof, hands-free power liftgate, leather upholstery and heated front seats.
The new pinnacle QX50, the Sport, rides on dark-finished 20-inch wheels and boasts a unique front end, black interior and exterior trim, and LED foglights. Inside, it features upgraded semi-aniline leather, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and ambient lighting. Tech upgrades on the Sport include navigation, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a 360-degree parking camera and road-sign recognition.
