Advanced human artistry inside
The 2022 QX50 elevates driving daily with a carefully considered, handcrafted interior showcasing curated materials with "wrap-and-sew" highlights and contrast-color stitching paired with piping.
The interior of the QX50 is tastefully finished in one of three shades of leather- or leatherette-appointed seats: graphite, wheat, or white, with accompanying painted aluminum, aluminum, or natural open-pore maple wood trim accents.
Tailored to your senses, the 2022 QX50's generous ergonomic cabin and elegant surfaces create a feeling of individual space - without losing connection to others.
In the back, passengers can enjoy indulgent seating that offers superior levels of comfort. Up to five fit in comfort within the 2022 QX50 thanks to a sliding rear bench seat that maximizes available cargo or passenger space with the second row upright or folded forward for up to 1,843 Liter of cargo capacity behind the front seats - equivalent to 20 large suitcases.
With added customizable features to help set just the right mood for any drive, all QX50 crossovers coddle passengers with 8-way adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Additionally, the dual touch screen INFINITI InTouchTM infotainment system (8-inch upper, 7-inch lower) with wireless Apple CarPlay(r) and USB-based Android AutoTM redefine the interior of the QX50.
INFINITI designers translated the traditional Japanese concepts of "mitate" and "shitate" by combining refined materials and expert craftsmanship to enhance the natural characteristics of items throughout the cabin. For 2022, supple semi-aniline leather-appointed seats are included on QX50 SENSORY grades, and the QX50 LUXE grade receives rich leather-appointed seating surfaces.
The 2022 QX50 AUTOGRAPH exemplifies outstanding modern Japanese luxury with tri-zone automatic climate control, quilted-stitch seat surfaces, enhanced interior ambient lighting, an advanced climate control system, and natural open-pore maple wood accents.
Powerful elegance outside
The 2022 QX50 reaches into INFINITI's Japanese DNA with organic, artistic lines and robust, muscular proportions. INFINITI's double-arch grille features prominently and gives the QX50 a distinctive and distinguished arrival wherever it goes. The QX50's "human-eye" signature headlights are simultaneously alluring and intense, and this year are enhanced with black accents on QX50 LUXE grade.
Along the body sides, INFINITI's signature crescent-shaped rear roof pillar visually extends the crossover's roofline, arching elegantly toward a standard power rear liftgate. QX50 AUTOGRAPH and SENSORY grades include a motion-activated sensor for hands-free liftgate operation.
Bringing light and tranquility to every drive, a panoramic moonroof is included on most QX50 grades visually enhancing the interior by flooding the cabin with warm natural light during the day or a cool ambiance at night.
Eight captivating exterior colors are available: Hermosa Blue, Mineral Black, Graphite Shadow, Black Obsidian, Majestic White, Lunar White, and Slate Gray.
Technologically advanced, human-centered drive
Powering every 2022 QX50 is the world's first mass-production variable-compression turbocharged (VC-Turbo) engine that helps to deliver enhanced efficiency or dynamic power based on the driver's input.
At its heart, a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo inline-4 engine produces 268 horsepower and 380-newton meter of torque thanks to a seamlessly integrated system that can imperceptibly lengthen or shorten the stroke of each cylinder for efficiency or power.
That engine is paired to an advanced XTRONIC continuously variable transmission (CVT) with Downshift Rev Matching and standard steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. With INFINITI's optional Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive system, the powertrain propels the QX50's front wheels or all four wheels. The VC-Turbo and CVT offer an empowering drive experience with efficiency and refinement.
When equipped, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive can direct up to 50% of the QX50's available power toward the rear wheels for enhanced all-weather confidence. A standard shift-by-wire system is more compact than traditional mechanical linkages, freeing up interior space while offering quicker shifts when engaged in manual mode.
When equipped with ProACTIVE, QX50 will support the driver during the drive with advanced safety features like Intelligent cruise control, Blind Spot Warning and Intervention, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Forward collision warning, Forward Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, high beam assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Proactive is standard on all QX50 grades (Except LUXE).
The 2022 QX50 complements the range of new INFINITI utility vehicles, including the 2022 QX80 SUV, all-new 2022 QX55 coupe crossover, and all-new 2022 QX60 three-row SUV. Wireless Apple CarPlay is standard on most 2022 INFINITI models, including the Q60 coupe and Q50 sports sedan and USB-based Android AutoTM.
The 2022 INFINITI QX50 is in showrooms now.
