“Rear leg room is unacceptable. Know this has been addressed in 2016 model. While fuel economy is poor, would not sacrifice the power and responsiveness to improve. Super nice vehicle. Well built, fun to drive.”
2015 INFINITI QX50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2015 INFINITI QX50 is standard Bluetooth hands-free phone capability on every model. Otherwise, it carries over with the same engine, styling, body, and four-model structure.
About the 2015 INFINITI QX50
Same first-generation QX50/EX design sold in the U.S. after the 2014 rename from EX to QX50; 2015 is the final short-wheelbase U.S. version before the longer, updated 2016 model.
INFINITI positioned the QX50 as a personal luxury crossover for shoppers who wanted the higher seating position and hatchback usefulness of an SUV without giving up the quick responses and strong acceleration of a sport sedan. Its core draw was coupe-like styling, standard V6 power, and a driver-focused cabin. Compared with roomier rivals, the QX50 leaned more toward style and athletic feel than maximum rear-seat or cargo space.
The 2015 QX50 is a compact luxury crossover with coupe-like styling, a driver-focused cabin, and a 325-horsepower V6. The base model has leather seating, a 7-inch display, and a backup camera, while Journey models add a moonroof, heated front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, and maple interior trim.

2015 INFINITI QX50
(46 reviews)
“I think the location of the cup holder is not a good place. When placed a cup, it is hard to shift gear.”
“The engine noise is MUCH too loud on acceleration. Had I known it was this bad I might not have leased this Infiniti QX50. Other than that I'm very satisfied.”
