What’s New in the 2023 INFINITI QX50?

Some new standard features have been added to the QX50 for 2023. These include remote start, heated exterior mirrors to improve visibility during cold weather, and three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance. A new Sport trim featuring gloss black exterior accents and dark 20-inch wheels replaces the Elevation trim from the previous model year.

Which New Comfort & Convenience Features Are Standard on QX50 for 2023?

Inside the cabin, all QX50s now have the convenience of a wireless device charging pad to keep your phone fully loaded wherever you go. The all-new Sport trim is particularly strong on comfort and convenience. You’ll benefit from semi-aniline leather seats and a 12-speaker premium stereo to provide better quality for your favorite music.

QX50 Engine and Performance

The QX50’s powertrain consists of a continuously variable automatic transmission and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The engine has a variable compression feature that switches between high compression during cruising and low compression during acceleration. The engine helps the QX50 achieve up to 29 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg on city roads. Both fuel economy numbers drop by 1 mpg if you choose the optional all-wheel drive.

The idea behind the variable compression turbocharged engine is that it provides extra power when necessary and saves on fuel when it can afford to do so. This engine has been part of the QX50’s lineup since the crossover was redesigned for the 2019 model year.

2023 QX50 Seating and Cargo Capacity

Inside the cabin, both rows of seats are adult-friendly. You can look forward to over 38 inches of legroom in the rear row, which allows adults to ride comfortably wherever you’re heading. The rear seats can recline to offer additional comfort, and two sets of LATCH connectors are on hand in case you need to install kids’ seating. The standard cabin has synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a power liftgate.

Compared to its rivals in the luxury compact crossover class, the QX50 provides plenty of cargo storage. There’s over 31 cubic feet of space behind the second row and more than 65 cubic feet with the rear row folded down. Both of those figures are among the best in the QX50’s vehicle class. You’ll have more than enough space for a large load of groceries or luggage for a weekend trip out of town.

INFINITI Infotainment and Safety Features

The standard entertainment system consists of two touch screens, one measuring 8 inches and the other 7 inches. Raised knobs for the volume and other adjustments are also included. Other standard features include a six-speaker stereo, Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and five USB ports. A Wi-Fi hotspot is available via a subscription model. Optional upgrades include the choice between a 12- or 16-speaker premium stereo and a navigation system.

A long list of safety tech comes standard for every QX50 driver. Forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and forward and rear automatic emergency braking can help you avoid accidents. Various features are provided to make highway driving easier, such as lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. You also benefit from rear parking sensors and automatic high-beam headlights.

One optional upgrade is the surround-view parking camera, which gives you a 360-degree aerial view of your QX50 while you’re parking. You can also add convenient features such as rain-sensing wipers, traffic sign recognition, or a head-up display that allows you to follow important performance information on the windshield,

2023 QX50 Trims and Pricing

The QX50 has five trims for its 2023 model year: Pure, Luxe, Sport, Sensory, and Autograph. The base Pure trim has a starting price of around $41,000, and the top Autograph trim costs approximately $58,500.

Stepping up from the Pure to the Luxe trim gets you genuine leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a moonroof. This trim also benefits from LED fog lights and remote start. The all-new Sport trim is the next step up the ladder with its premium leather seats, dark exterior accents and wheels, and high-performance stereo. Opting for the Sensory gets you the head-up display, heated rear seats, and a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel. Loading things at the rear gets a whole lot easier with the hands-free power liftgate.

The top trim in the lineup is the QX50 autograph. It stands out visually thanks to ambient interior lighting, a suede headliner, and rear-seat sunshades to help second-row passengers relax. This trim also benefits from some tech upgrades, such as adaptive steering and tri-zone climate control.

As you can see, there are many reasons to opt for the QX50. Small families looking for a comfortable and upscale crossover for their daily commute or city driving are sure to be satisfied with the broad range of infotainment and safety tech features on offer. The quiet cabin and smooth ride are also ideal if you spend a lot of time on the highway. You can easily make it up to highway speeds with the power provided by the QX-50’s turbocharged engine.
