2025 INFINITI QX50: What to Expect

Standing apart in the compact luxury SUV market is the upcoming 2025 INFINITI QX50. So, what makes it different from the competition? Here to answer that question is INFINITI of Hoffman Estates. While many details of this SUV are still under wraps, there are some details that we know and some that can be predicted based on last year’s model. Keep on reading to discover more about this premium SUV.

What’s New?

While much of the QX50 is expected to be a carryover model year for the 2025 season, there still may be some minor design updates along with updates regarding technology. So, we may see an update in the QX50’s lines, headlights, and grille but not so much to warrant a complete redesign.

Power and Performance

The powerhouse that many expect to be under the hood of this premium SUV is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This carries over from the 2024 model, generating up to 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is expected to be standard in at least the base trim with the option to upgrade to the intelligent all-wheel-drive system. This system may also become standard in higher trims as it has in previous iterations.

Wheels and tires are also likely to remain similar, with aluminum wheels with silver, grey, or machined with painted accent finishes and run-flat tires. Run-flat tires are a premium touch that means no more having to be stranded on the side of the road for a tire change. These tires can be driven for a short distance after a puncture or loss of air pressure, allowing drivers to reach a safe place to replace or repair their tire.

Another item that may be on your mind is towing capacity. Will the 2025 model year be able to tackle some light-duty hauling? This may also follow suit in the 2024 year where only the upper-level Autograph AWD trim offered a 3,000 lb towing capacity, allowing you to haul some lighter loads.

Safety Features

Many safety features may likely make their way from the 2024 model year to the 2025 model year. This means you can get a whole suite of standard safety and driver assistance features like:

• Optional front dual camera drive recorder.
• INFINITI advanced airbag system with dual-stage supplemental front and knee airbags for the front row.
• Seat-mounted and curtain airbag system.
• Auto high beam headlights.
• Hill start assist system.
• Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) system.
• Active lane keep assist system with lane departure prevention (LDP).
• ProPILOT Assist hands-on system that provides active lane centering and a semi-autonomous freeway cruise control function.

Tech

The infotainment system may remain the same, with a seven-inch digital gauge cluster for the driver along with a stacked unit infotainment system. This includes an eight-inch touch screen system on top of a seven-inch unit that allows users to enjoy wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Bluetooth connectivity is also likely to return along with wireless charging capabilities for the front row.

Additionally, drivers can rock out to their favorite tunes with a six-, 12-, or 16-speaker sound system, depending on the trim, and a Bose premium audio system. Other tech features may include:

• Illuminated steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
• INFINITI voice recognition system.
• Speed-sensitive volume control.
• Integrated navigation system in upper trims.
• Real-time traffic and weather displays in upper trims.
• INFINITI InTouch services.
• Mobile hot spot capabilities.
• Remote engine start.
• Four or more USB ports.

Storage and Space

With the 2024 QX50, INFINITI thought of everything to maximize your space and storage capabilities. This benefits the 2025 model year as drivers and passengers alike get to enjoy the well-thought-out interior layout that optimizes space and uses every possible nook and cranny. Interior measurements themselves may remain relatively the same between the model years. Here are the dimensions and capacities of the previous model year so you can have an idea of what’s to come:

• Interior cargo volume: 31.1 cu ft.
• Front leg room: 39.6 in.
• Rear leg room: 38.7 in.

Additional storage spaces are placed throughout the vehicle, allowing you to get the most out of your SUV. Features like in-floor storage and 60/40 folding seats allow you to expand your cargo space and use every square inch of space available. No more having to pick and choose what to bring with you on your next trip and what to leave behind.

Price

The price point for the 2025 model year may see a slight increase from the previous year. While exact numbers have yet to be announced, here are the MSRPs from the 2024 model that can give you an idea of what to expect:

• 2024 INFINITI QX50 PURE FWD: $41,000.
• 2024 INFINITI QX50 PURE AWD: $43,000.
• 2024 INFINITI QX50 LUXE FWD: $44,300.
