The 2025 Infiniti QX50 lineup has shrunk to three trims, all with standard all-wheel drive.
The Pure remains the base model, with Luxe and Sport trims above it. However, Infiniti has eliminated the higher-level Sensory and Autograph trims that were available in the 2024 QX50 lineup, leaving the Sport as the top trim.
The 2025 Infiniti QX50 Pure is priced at $44,350 including the mandatory $1,350 destination charge. That is $2,305 more than the equivalent 2024 model, which includes a $155 increase in the destination charge, but this is nearly offset by the newly standard all-wheel drive, which was previously a $2,000 option. Pure models also come standard with 19-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and wireless phone charging.
Starting at $47,650 including destination, the mid-level QX50 Luxe adds a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, a motion-activated tailgate, heated front seats, leather upholstery, and a memory function for the driver's seat and mirrors.
The QX50 Sport is priced at $52,550 including destination and adds 20-inch wheels, a model-specific front fascia, darkened exterior trim, LED fog lights, cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, navigation, and a Bose 12-speaker audio system.
All QX50 models continue to utilize the Infiniti's VC-Turbo variable compression turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine raises or lowers the reach of its pistons to alter the compression ratio on a spectrum between 8:1 (for more power) and 14:1 (for greater efficiency). This engine also replaces the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V-6 in the Infiniti QX60 for 2025.
Connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the turbo-four delivers the same 268 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque as before. EPA fuel economy remains unchanged at 25 mpg combined (22 mpg city, 28 mpg highway).
Standard tech features include an unusual dual-screen interface with an 8.0-inch touchscreen stacked on top of a 7.0-inch touchscreen. Infiniti continues to offer wireless Apple CarPlay while Android Auto users must use a cable. The ProPilot Assist highway driving system is standard, along with automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, and blind-spot monitors. Sport models add a surround-view camera system and traffic sign recognition.
Introduced for the 2019 model year, the QX50 is now the senior member of the Infiniti lineup following the discontinuation of the Q50 sedan and the redesign of the QX80 full-size SUV. In addition to the QX50, QX60, and QX80, Infiniti's all-SUV lineup includes the QX55, which is essentially a QX50 with coupe-like styling.
Senior Writer The quest for automotive knowledge began as soon as the earliest memories. Various sources information, even questionable ones, have been explored including video games, television, magazines, or even internet forums. Still stuck in that rabbit hole.
