“Looks sharp, drives nice, awesome/comfort seats, great sound system, ease of controls. The AC lacks compared to my Fusion! Takes a while to cool down and the air just doesn't feel as cold as it should, especially for our FL summers! Also, my biggest regret is that this car does NOT have memory seat positions for at least two drivers. This should be a standard feature!”
2019 INFINITI QX50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is fully redesigned after a one-year break. Its biggest change is a new front-wheel-drive-based platform paired with a variable-compression 2.0-liter turbo engine.
About the 2019 INFINITI QX50
All-new redesigned QX50 generation, first year.
Infiniti positions the QX50 as a style-first luxury crossover that also solves everyday family duty better than the older model did. The main pitch is a roomy, flexible cabin, a quieter and more upscale interior, and the unusual VC-Turbo engine that aims to blend strong low-end pull with better fuel economy. Versus rivals, Infiniti leans on standout design, generous interior space, and a distinctive powertrain story more than hard-edged sportiness.
The redesigned QX50 is a roomier, more family-friendly luxury crossover with Pure, Luxe, and Essential trims. Pure has dual touchscreens and a sliding, reclining rear seat; Luxe adds a panoramic moonroof and blind-spot warning; Essential brings leather seating, navigation, and surround-view parking cameras.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The previous V6 gives way to a 2.0-liter variable-compression turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions were sold.
Structural
A new front-wheel-drive-based platform creates a roomier cabin and larger cargo area. The redesigned interior also gains a sliding and reclining second-row seat.
Tech
Dual-screen infotainment and a power liftgate become standard across the lineup. The redesign also introduces Direct Adaptive Steering, Infiniti’s steer-by-wire system.
Safety
The redesigned QX50 introduces ProPILOT Assist. Standard forward emergency braking includes pedestrian detection, while higher trims add features such as blind-spot warning and surround-view parking cameras.
