“We previously owned an Infinti EX35 - the QX50 is the same vehicle. We unfortunately traded our old Infiniti EX35 for the Lexus 200CT - which frankly is possibly the worst new car available today.”
2014 INFINITI QX50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The biggest change for 2014 is the name: INFINITI renamed the EX37 as the QX50. Beyond the new badge, this is largely the same vehicle, with no significant mechanical, safety, or technology update.
About the 2014 INFINITI QX50
1st generation J50, renamed from EX37 to QX50 for 2014; still the short-wheelbase version sold before the 2016 lengthened update.
INFINITI positions the 2014 QX50 as a compact luxury crossover for drivers who want sport-sedan flavor with hatchback flexibility. The brand leans on its coupe-like shape, right-sized footprint, strong V6, and upscale cabin rather than class-leading cargo room. Compared with roomier rivals, its main draw is a more personal, driver-focused feel and stronger straight-line power in a smaller, more maneuverable package.
The 2014 QX50 is a compact, driver-focused premium crossover offered in Base and Journey trims, both powered by a 325-hp 3.7-liter V6. The Base has leather-appointed seats, push-button start, a backup camera, and 18-inch wheels. Journey adds comfort features including a moonroof, heated front seats, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and a power-adjustable steering wheel.
