2021 INFINITI QX50 Review

QX50 Powertrain Performance

One of the most important areas to evaluate on any vehicle is the powertrain it has working under the hood. Inside the chassis of the INFINITI QX50, you’ll find a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that will deliver an impressive 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. So, you will have plenty of muscle in terms of raw power and acceleration as you look to get up to speed.

The powertrain of this SUV is also configured with a Continuously Variable Transmission. Like an automatic transmission, this will shift gears for you. However, it will not use set gear ratios and continuously look for optimized ones instead. Thanks to this, the INFINITI SUV can earn an EPA-estimated 23 city/29 highway MPG.¹ Throw in the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector with Eco Mode, and frequent pit stops will be nothing but a distant memory.

Interior Comfort

Another important area to inspect is the interior of this premium SUV. On the inside, you’ll find available leather-appointed seating. Pair this with the 8-way Power Adjustable Front Seats with Driver Power Lumbar and the Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control system, and you’ll be extremely comfortable behind the wheel.

In terms of connectivity, the QX50 also impresses with the INFINITI InTouch™ dual display multimedia system. Using the upper 8-inch display and lower 7-inch display of this system, you’ll be able to seamlessly connect your mobile device with features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth®. Thanks to the INFINITI Voice Recognition, it will also be safe and easy to use these features.

QX50 Safety Measures

The technology incorporated into the 2021 QX50 doesn’t cease at the entertainment suite but extends to safety, where the SUV will work hard to keep you secure on the go. In addition to more traditional safety features like airbags and seatbelts, the SUV also comes with a slew of driver-assistive features like:

• Blind Spot Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Rear Automatic Braking

You’ll also get a Predictive Forward Collision Warning feature. This feature is configured with Forward Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection, working to monitor the environment in front of your SUV and help you come to a halt should an obstruction present itself in the roadway.
