2020 INFINITI QX50 LUXE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
I've had my QX 50 for about 3 weeks now. I'm just starting to become comfortable with all of the electronics. The size, ride and feel of the car are great. The electronics for the gear shift, the climate, radio and safe driving take some getting used to. I find myself shifting from Drive to Reverse when looking for Neutral. The gear shifter is like a joy stick, but I'm not a gamer so it's not intuitive for me. But I'm getting there! Love the two years free maintenance deal and the 4 year warranty. Overall I'm happy with my new car.

Electronic problems

Ac works when it wants too, it’s a software glitch where the dealer has to reset the computer to get the ac to work. Obviously the technology is garbage. I’m noticing electronic problems occur from having usb c cables and usb cables in use for apple car play or android car play. Don’t use them you will create electronic problems when charging your phone. Check engine light comes on randomly and goes off. The service centers are [non-permissible content removed]. They are overwhelmed with customers and don’t give loaner cars until they find a good enough reason too.

This is my 4th Infiniti and my last. I have had this vehicle one month and it has 495 miles on it. My last car was a Infiniti Q50 Red Sport AWD and in looking for a new car I wanted three main things: lower monthly lease payment, smoother ride and better gas mileage. With my QX50, I have achieved one, a lower payment. My car has the 20 inch wheels with those lousy run flat tires and my QX50 is THE WORST RIDING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED! I feel every road imperfection with authority and if I drive over any sort of bump, I am met with a loud suspension THUD, the ride in my new car is horrendous. The ride in my car is so bad that I am going to take it to the dealer to see if something is wrong with the suspension. The gas mileage is the next problem (of many), I have not put the car in sport mode yet and have been driving very gently as I am breaking the car in an I am getting 19.7 avg MPG?? Really?? I thought the variable compression turbo engine and pathetic CVT was supposed to provide best is class MPG or close to it-NOT. Now onto the electrical multitude of issues: sometimes my car locks by pushing button on door handle-sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes my phone pairs to car-sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes my climate control temp setting and audio channel displays on the lower part of he upper screen-sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes my lower screen takes forever to load-sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes my saved driver settings per my smart key are there-sometimes I have to reset all of my preferences (yes I am using the same key).Today my lower in-touch control screen never turned on so I had no controls to any electronic functions of the car-no audio, no nav destination input, no climate control display. The mobile in touch app will not pair with my car. My upper navigation map screen will turn on-sometimes it doesn’t. Shall I continue with the problems? I certainly can... Again this is my 4th and last Infiniti, I am now actually hoping for more continual problems so I can get lemon law. But at least I accomplished one of my three goals with a new car, a lower payment. Man do I wish I would have selected a different manufacturer and model for a higher payment... Maybe my expectations are too high as I have had the car a month...

Definition of Average = Infiniti QX50

2021 INFINITI QX50 PURE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

From a looks perspective, the QX50 does the job well (both inside & out). Good looking lines, paint & lights make the exterior one that stands out. Inside the vehicle, you will be impressed with the layout, legroom & storage. The finishes are on-par with the Mazda Touring level, which is nice, but it’s definitely not on the same level as Audi, Lexis, Benz, etc. Where the Infiniti falls off significantly however is the driving experience. The CVT transmission is terrible. Shifting between gears is not smooth in the slightest, and at times not shift until your RPMs are nearing/going over 5k, even during moderate acceleration. This is embarrassing for any vehicle, much less one that is trying to compete in the ‘luxury’ category. At the end of the day, the QX50 is a nicely dressed Nissan. If that’s your cup of tea, then you’ve found your vehicle.

I DESPISE THIS CAR

Tech package is the most counter intuitive of any car I’ve ever driven. The driver’s seat is impossible to adjust so that the headrest and vertical angle fit. You either have to drive with the seat fully upright to lean your head back, or put the seat in a gansta lean. It just sucks.
