Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

Updated: 9/22/2026

At first glance, the 2025 Infiniti QX50 looks like a lot of other small luxury SUVs. It has premium branding, attractive styling, plenty of room for people and cargo, a turbocharged engine and available all-wheel drive. But the QX50 also stands apart from the pack in several ways, some good, some not.

Good

6.8

out of 10

We drove the 2025 INFINITI QX50 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

5.7/10

How does the INFINITI QX50 drive? The QX50 lacks the polish we expect from a luxury SUV. At the Edmunds test track, our QX50 sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which is average for a small luxury SUV with a base engine. Press on the gas and it takes a beat or two before everything really gets going. This lag can get annoying when you want a quick burst of power, like when passing a slow-moving vehicle. The QX50 is competent around turns, but nothing about its character inspires you to push it.

We also don't love the QX50's ride quality. It feels less settled than the BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC on bumpy roads. Around town, the Infiniti fails to iron out road imperfections like a luxury SUV should.

Forward visibility is fantastic, but the rearward view could be better. It's hampered by the chunky rear roof pillars.

The QX50's driver assist features are straightforward to use. However, as a whole, they are less capable and slower to react than comparable ones from Mercedes and BMW. Anything beyond a gentle curve on the highway and the lane keeping system begins to have problems keeping the car in the lane. The parking sensors work well, but the quality of the surround-view cameras on the display is grainy.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the INFINITI QX50? The QX50 is decently comfortable. The front seats strike a nice balance of plush and supportive, with enough bolstering to hold you in place around corners.

The cabin is roomy and has plenty of space but lacks the modern elegance of its competitors. The QX50 is low enough to make hopping inside an easy task for most people. Finding the right driving position shouldn't be a problem — the steering wheel has ample vertical adjustment and can telescope forward and back.

Loading up a child safety seat will be made more challenging by the LATCH anchors tucked between the cushions.

In-cabin tech

5.8/10

How’s the tech? Infiniti's two-screen infotainment system is completely outdated, and after spending time with it, you realize that it creates more problems than it solves. The bottom display, in particular, is largely redundant and unnecessary. The system's reaction time is fine and it offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but it's lacking any real intuitiveness.

Storage & cargo

7.9/10

How’s storage and cargo? The cargo area's ample size and helpful features really stand out here. There's plenty of space, and that's even before you fold the back seat or use the in-floor storage. This is one area where the Infiniti holds a competitive advantage over its closest rivals. Storage for smaller items isn't quite as generous as the cargo area is but will work fine for most people shopping for an SUV this size. The QX50 can tow up to 3,000 pounds, which is a bit above average for the class.

Value

7/10

Is the INFINITI QX50 a good value? While it isn't as sporting as German competitors, the QX50 delivers on the comfort and practicality front, justifying its similar pricing. Be careful with the option packages because some of them are pricey. The QX50's warranty is on par for the class with four-year/60,000-mile basic coverage and six-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage. In contrast to some other luxury brands, there is no free scheduled maintenance.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Infiniti likes to tout the QX50's innovative powertrain, but we expected the fuel economy to be better. The EPA estimates the all-wheel-drive QX50 gets 25 mpg in combined city/highway driving, but we managed only 23.8 mpg on our mixed-driving standardized test route. That figure is lower than we'd expect and worse than the numbers for other four-cylinder SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 and the Audi Q5.

X factor

7/10

While the QX50 doesn't have any dynamic missteps outside of the transmission, there's not much to get excited over either. It's roundly competent and doesn't shrink away from a curving road. But fun doesn't really enter the equation.

Buying Tips for the 2025 INFINITI QX50 for October

The 2025 INFINITI QX50 is effectively sold out new, so your smartest move is to treat this as a used-market shop first.

New supply is nearly gone. There are only about 9 new QX50s nationwide, and as a 2025 model, no fresh wave of inventory is coming. If you still want new, be flexible on color and options and be ready to lock down a VIN fast.
The used market is far more realistic. There are about 166 used QX50s nationwide, with used prices starting around $31,900. That gives you a much better shot at finding the trim you want without chasing the last few new units.
On pricing, buyers were paying about $4,600 below MSRP on average when more new inventory was around, and there are no general customer rebates right now. Trim discounts were pretty consistent at roughly 10% off sticker, with the LUXE a slight standout.
Trim choice matters in used stock. LUXE is the easiest to find used, while PURE is much scarcer, so expect fewer choices if that base trim is your target.

2025 INFINITI QX50 trim level differences

The 2025 Infiniti QX50 is available in Pure, Luxe and Sport trim levels. The sole powertrain is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (268 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque) paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is standard on all trim levels. Compare the 2025 INFINITI QX50 trim levels in-depth.

Which QX50 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Sport trim of the Infiniti QX50. The base Pure trim offers plenty of tech features but not much luxury, and the Luxe trim doesn't add much. But the Sport adds a generous list of features, giving you the most for your money. On top of the features found in the Pure and Luxe trims, the Sport adds premium leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a Bose audio system, a 360-degree camera system and more.

Competitors to consider

Most of the strongest contenders in the QX50's class come from the expected sources, traditional luxury brands. The Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC offer superior refinement and performance but are priced accordingly. Buyers interested in livelier handling will be impressed by the Acura RDX, while pretty much anybody considering a vehicle in this class will be wowed by the all-around excellence of the Genesis GV70.

Edmunds spotlight: Novel engine tech

Automakers would have you believe every little innovation is a technological breakthrough, but Infiniti's VC-Turbo variable compression-ratio engine actually is. Most other engines have a fixed compression ratio but the QX50's can change its ratio depending on the situation to enhance power and efficiency. It seems like a great idea but the actual implementation of it is disappointing. You can read more about it in our test team's Expert Rating below.
