DO NOT pay attention to car enthusiasts reviews

2019 INFINITI QX50 ESSENTIAL 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I LOVE this car. It is a new car inside & out. The ride is smooth, incredibly quiet inside & the complaints about CVT are just nonsense to the average "need to get from point A to point B driver." I dropped my 2017 QX50 as soon as I could to buy this one & it was a wise choice. The 2017 was horrible to me & had too much power that drank up premium fuel like it was beer on a hot night. The 2019 mpg still isn't great but it is an improvement & so many other improvements make up for the mpg. Everything is better. I tested other make/model cars & came back to this one. Go for the Essential & add on as you wish. Great job INFINITI (finally)!

This car rocks! If you are looking for performance and good MPG's in a roomy SUV, this is what got me hooked on the QX50. It's quieter than the 2019 Lexus RX50 and Acura RDX. The 16 speaker Bose system is a concert hall on wheels. It is exceptionally roomy to where I can haul sports equipment and fit four comfortably. Two thumbs way up! Car is very comfortable and the gas mileage is right on par with the rating. The transmission can be jumpy if you punch the gas. I still recommend buying the car if you are interested. 11/03/20 Still love the car. My MPGs are better than what other people think. Many trips for our family with lacrosse equipment and overnight bags and it all fits in the back. The seats are incredibly comfortable. I have had zero maintenance issues and there are 50k miles on the car. The transmission is a bit jerky at times and there are times when there is a turbo lag. Just means you have to accelerate the car smoothly. Overall, I love the car. 5/9/2021 Still Love the car. MPG's are better than what people complain about. I think they over promised and the car has under delivers. Its a quiet ride. I have only done maintenance with changing oil, tires, and brake fluid. My only complaint is the transmission surges when changing gear on the lower end and there is a turbo lag. It's typical with turbos. My best friend has a 2019 Acura RDX and it has the same issue.

QX50 not supported by Infinity

2019 INFINITI QX50 PURE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Instead of providing a $150.00 part Infiniti would not sell that part we had to buy the entire$11,000 seat this after waiting 2 months after a rear end collision for any parts at all. This totaled the car because Infiniti does not supply parts they are just producing more cars no support of cars already sold. After waiting two months insurance totaled car because parts would not be available at any time in the future. We are very unhappy customers and will share our experience whenever possible. Do not buy Infiniti as there is no customer support for the QX 50.

Noxious Fuel Smells

Martin M., 04/01/2019
2019 INFINITI QX50 LUXE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

This QX50 emits fuel smells so noxious that we would have to leave our garage door open for 4-6 hours after each drive, just to prevent the buildup of harmful odors. When that wasn't enough, my wife resorted to backing the QX50 in the garage so that the engine compartment faced the opening of the garage to aid in the airing out process. We contacted an Infiniti dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it, of course. We then took it to another dealer and they admitted that there seems to be a growing number of complaints and that a fix has been identified. They performed the 'unofficial' fix but there still seems to be an odor coming from the engine compartment. We can't keep this up for another 3 years so we may be forced to turn the car in and break the lease. We'll see how that goes.

Worst car I ever owned

While the mechanical issues on this car range from major to minor, the real problem is the lack of parts. From windshield replacement that took over two weeks to the navigation/radio unit that I’m still waiting for 15 days and counting, it’s like Infiniti just doesn’t care. I’ll never buy another Infiniti and I can’t wait to get rid of this one,
