Used 2020 INFINITI QX50 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Infiniti QX50 is a compact SUV sold in five trims. The base Pure has all the basics you'd expect from a luxury crossover, along with advanced driving aids that are often optional on rivals. The subsequent Luxe and Essential trims each add a few extra features that buyers might enjoy. The Sensory adds larger wheels and a Bose audio system, along with two packages that are optional on the Essential trim. Finally, there's the Autograph, which is equipped with almost every feature the QX50 offers.

All come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (268 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque) paired to a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional on all trims.

The base Pure model kicks things off with features such as LED headlights, keyless ignition and entry, a power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, a dual-screen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a six-speaker sound system. A variety of advanced driver safety aids are also included.

Level up to the Luxe and you'll receive upgrades such as a panoramic sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and remote engine start. Importantly, heated front seats and a navigation system are available as stand-alone options.

The Essential trim further adds a surround-view parking camera system, heated mirrors, front parking sensors,and the Luxe's optional navigation system and heated front seats.

The Sensory model tacks on bigger wheels, a 16-speaker audio system, and two packages that are optional on the Essential: the Convenience package (leather upholstery, driver-seat memory settings, and a power-adjustable and heated steering wheel) and the ProAssist package (adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control and lane departure intervention).

At the top of the trim ladder is the QX50 Autograph. Added features include a hands-free liftgate, upgraded interior upholstery and trim, and two of the Sensory's optional packages: the Climate package and the ProActive package (the ProAssist package, plus even more safety features).

Which QX50 trim does Edmunds recommend?

One of the QX50's primary strengths is providing value for the money. As such, we say go for the Luxe trim level. It doesn't cost too much more than the base Pure and adds a few items that luxury SUV shoppers should expect. Heated front seats are inexpensive and worth the investment.
