Poor performance and design

2020 INFINITI QX50 ESSENTIAL 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

The CVT engine is mostly just noise and very slow to respond - sounds good, but doesn't go anywhere. It revs high but will will practically crawl in response. And the interior is poorly designed. The cup holders are very tight and right in front of phone charger. And no place for phone. The dual display often doesn't work (something wrong 1x/weekly). And the TomTom navigation interface is incredibly outdated. Hard to believe it is 2023 and this is still what they offer...display looks like its from 1990's or early 2000's. Overall, very poor performance and poor interior use of space and outdated tech. I will NOT buy Infiniti again nor will I recommend it.

Pros:- able to select drive modes (standard/personal/sport/eco) Numerous personal settings through the Infiniti Touch services (can really personalize the vehicle) Updates available through Infiniti for navigation and other services Key fob personalization Gas mileage (averaging 23.7 mpg so far) All around driving/ blind spot monitoring with indicator lights and driver notifications All around comfortable ride with infinite steering wheel and seat adjustments (heated seats really heat up!) Tons of cargo space A lot of 12v outlets (really convenient in the cargo area) Cons:- Have to reset the preferred driver settings (radio/maps) first through the guest then through me everytime I get in. Even took it to the Infiniti dealership and the local "tech no" technician couldn't get pass this. So the procedure is get in, start the vehicle, hit guest, let that take effect, buckle up, hit my preferred settings, let that take effect, drive off. Sounds complicated but I have managed to get it down to 1-2 minutes. Premium fuel required (costly to say the least...1/2 tank fill ups are the norm for me) NO SPARE. Even though run flats are installed ($400 each at the dealership!!!) I still can't wrap my mind around the fact of knowing a spare is not available.

Things I don't like on my QX50

2020 INFINITI QX50 ESSENTIAL 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I did not know what run flat tires were when I purchased the vehicle. When I got to the finance person he put the feat of god in me if I did not take the insurance on the the tires & rims. I own the car at that point, so I went to 4 tire shops around town to see if they carry these tires. I was told they could get them but it would take a day or two. You get no spare or jack with the car. If you are on vacation in the country and there is no dealer around plan on staying til the local tire shop finds you one. The steering on this car is electronic not hydrolytic and is tight and responsive it drifts at high speeds. I wanted to buy the car after the lease but will turn it in because of the tires which are expensive to replace.

Its Ok

Test drove a QX50 Sensory today since my Volvo XC90 lease is coming to an end. I must say, it does drive well 7 styling is great. Unfortunately its 2020 & a car MSRP of 54k with something as simple as wireless phone charging is just unacceptable in a "Luxury" brand

Don’t buy Pre-paid maintenance

2020 INFINITI QX50 AUTOGRAPH 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
3 of 6 people found this review helpful

I’ve driven Lexus SUV’s for the past 10 years & moved over to Infiniti for trunk size. The ride is hard and putting car into neutral is a challenge. The worst part, was we purchased pre paid maintenance agreement & when it came to getting my $999 30,000 service they refused to pay since I was at 31,000. It is no where in contract that it must be exactly at 30,000. I will never buy Infiniti again.
