Used 2019 INFINITI QX50 Consumer Reviews
Dealer refuses to believe there are problems.
I have had constant issues with Bluetooth dropping despite Make and Model is suppose to be compatible. Settings refer to factory setting every few weeks. The door sometimes does not unlock via of button on handle but key fob still works. The screens sometime go blank but return on restarting car. Electric parking brake sometimes does not release when used while car is running. Releases if car restarted. There are other problems but all seem related to electrical or software bugs. Problem is that on taking it to dealer they claim there is nothing wrong. Fuel mileage is poor compared to Infiniti specs.
Meh
I rented a QX50 LUXE 4dr Front-wheel Drive for a week and drove around town and on the interstate. Uninspiring is my best description. Great engine killed by a lousy CVT transmission. Full acceleration blunted by the CVT and lack of traction where you need to keep correcting to stay in a straight line. Handling OK for this class, but dead steering. On the plus side nice interior and good exterior styling. Comfortable, definitely not a drivers car at least in this trim level. Better SUVs I think can be had for less.

loyal QX50 leaser - till now
We recently leased our 4th QX50 (previously an FX), despite our disappointment with the redesigned 2019 body, which makes the vehicle look more like a bland SUV and less like a sporty cross-over. If only the changes had been visual and nothing else! Here is a list of flaws in the redesign, compared to our prior 3 vehicles of the same model: - gear shift is slippery. When shifting into Drive, the car often goes into Manual One instead. It also does not reliably shift from Park to Reverse, so you think you're backing up, but you're just gunning the engine. - variable windshield wiper settings are poorly "automated," and not in the control of the driver. The variable settings are tied to a rain sensor which cannot be over-ridden, and which does not reliably detect rain. - keyless door entry is fussy. Often times I have to dig into my bag for my key fob, because doors won't open via keyless entry. - nav screen control knob is poorly positioned. Any time a passenger is holding a bag, pet, or anything in their lap, they inevitably trigger the traffic map into unwanted, distracting settings. - the "app" interface is ridiculous. We all have smart phones. Why not let us plug them in and use those apps in our car, instead of creating a bunch of useless fake Infiniti apps that I will never take the time to learn about? - the dual screen system is outdated and crude. Why do I need two screens - one for entertainment and one for traffic? It makes the dashboard look crowded; requires split attention; and ignores the fact that we all prefer our smart phone directions app to whatever is on offer from Infiniti. - gas tank got smaller. Now I have to stop more frequently to gas up. - and the body redesign isn't just ugly, it's also costly, since parking garages now see the car as a full-sized SUV. This is our last Infiniti. There are far more attractive options in this class, and we'll be exploring BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche for our next one.
Loved this car!
For me, it came down to a choice between the Audi Q5 and the Infiniti QX50. Didn't test drive either one, but preferred the QX50. Reason I haven't bought one: Dealer reluctance to negotiate on a price below MSRP and limited availability of Model/Options/Color I prefered. I don't buy new cars often, so I'll hold off deciding to buy this car until some of the cache' wears off and reliability & performance data become available.
